Sri Lanka is quite literally collapsing. People are starving, without gas or electricity, etc. Now they are rioting and the military are gunning people down. Wouldn’t be surprised if that reality spreads to the US, UK and all western countries in the next few years.

Can’t India provide some sort of humanitarian relief?
The useless eater test ?
Quick! Send more money to Ukraine!
And while you’re at it be sure to get the latest Covid Booster available.
Sucks to be them.
Just think it all started when they tried to Go Green

This is what China planned for them. The Rats are just setting us up to be future victims.
Yep, Chile was having riots as well recently.
There is no true leadership right now.
Quick, bring in Maduro!
Well, why don't they all just buy a Tesla?
“Just think it all started when they tried to Go Green”
that’s exactly right ... fertilizer-free farming mandated by their insane government caused crop failures and failure of domestic food sufficiency, and limited foreign reserves therefore had to be used to import food, leaving no hard currency to buy imported fuel with ...
Yes, the Rats want us to be another Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka by going green at warp speed and with huge budget deficits.
