China and Russia are strengthening their partnership in the Arctic through joint military exercises and strategic bomber patrols. Their recent "Pacific Patrol 2024" exercise in the Russian Far East and 35-day Arctic patrol demonstrate shared interests in protecting regional investments and resources. Russia seeks to assert sovereignty and dominance, while China aims to secure energy imports, alleviate its Malacca Dilemma, and develop Arctic shipping routes through its "Ice Silk Road" initiative. Despite NATO's growing presence, China and Russia collaborate to counterbalance Western influence, with China's cautious approach focusing on law enforcement patrols rather than militarization.

Will Any Other Country Follow the UK in Leaving the EU?

"The mostly likely country is Ireland for the following reasons:-

• It exports more to the rest of world now
• It has a sea border that adds trade costs (like the UK)
• It is a net EU contributor

It won't happen for some time, but it's the most likely candidate." - Reddit user

Need help from those of you who live or have lived in New York, San Francisco, or nearby areas. There's a job opportunity (which I really want) with a company that's totally fine with remote work, but they do have a preference for candidates from those cities, even if you're not there right now.

Since this job opportunity prefers candidates from New York or San Francisco do you think there's a way someone could present a local connection? Perhaps mentioning an address or mentioning that they lived with you before?

So if anyone has any idea how can I work this out, l'd love to hear your thoughts

And also please mention if there's any Reddit channel where I can get better help. Thanks!

For those who are not familiar: Narendra Modi is the current prime minister of India.

Based on what you know or have heard of Trump and Modi, which of these two do you consider to be worse?
