This new type of power plant is part of China ’s strategy to develop innovative energy technologies , and is outlined in their 13th Five - Year Plan . Also included in that Plan are more than 100 nuclear power reactors over the next decade . The Chinese government plans to invest over US$ 100 billion to constructmanufacture.artifact.buildabout seven new reactors annually between now and 2030 . By 2050 , nuclear power should exceed 350 GW in that country , should include about 400 new nuclear reactors , and should result in over a trillion dollars in nuclear investment . But unlike the United States , China is experimenting with many types of reactors , this floating design being just one .
( KAY NIETFELD / Eureopean Pressphoto Agency ) Is nationalism what really drives Russian politics ? Many politicians and political scientists ( including , for example , Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Zbigniew Brzezinski ) argue that the 2014 annexation of Crimea showed President Vladimir Putin ’s desire to constructmanufacture.artifact.nathe “ Soviet Union 2.0 ” — and direct global affairs once more . Nationalism has been used to explain everything from Russia ’s intervention in Syria , Russia ’s unusually large number of hate crimes and the regime ’s rush to host sporting mega - events such as the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and the 2018 World Cup . Understanding nationalist sentiment in Russia — and how it might direct the country ’s future foreign policy decisions — prompted the Research Council of Norway to fund a three - year research project .
Iran paid forth a $ 400 million deposit for military equipment before the Islamic revolution in 1979 that was never delivered , while the White House insists the transaction was not directly related to the release of five U.S. hostages , including Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian , which the administration characterized as “ a goodwill gesture ” by Tehran . Even NPR quoted Mark Dubowitz of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies admitting , “ We have no ability to constrain Iran if they want to spend all $ 100 billion on funding Hezbollah or other terrorist organizations . ” The nuclear deal permits Iran access to that $ 100 billion after the International Atomic Energy Agency verifies it has implemented nuclear - related measures under the agreement — except under the agreement , they will block access from other actors to cash in on its exclusive economic cooperation with Moscow to constructmanufacture.artifact.buildas many as six reactors . Meanwhile , U.S./Iranian diplomatic relations have remained severed since 1979 .
Some are arguing that Pence ’s inability to defend Trump on countless issues will hurt him . He sure was simply denying some things that are categorically true . And maybe the Clinton camp will be able to constructmanufacture.artifact.nasome future attack ads that will reveal this . But what Trump needs desperately is someone to assure the nervous middle that there will be a grown - up in the Oval Office next to the tantrum - throwing toddler . It was very effective , I ’d say , on that count , especially with Republican voters who were looking for reassurance .
They did their utmost to prevent its construction . The Suez Canal was constructed by the Frenchman , de Lesseps , and the Khedive of Egypt . The Rothschilds refused to invest one cent of their money in the company which obtained the concession to constructmanufacture.artifact.buildthe Suez Canal . The Suez Canal was completed in 1869 . It , from the very start , proved a great success .
The UK has given £ 1bn in aid toward refugee camps in the countries neighbouring Syria . Mr Hammond brought an offer this week of £ 380,000 for a community policing project being overseen by former British police officers in Zaatari , which is now the fourth largest city in Jordan . But Jordan says it is already hosting 1.27 million refugees and wants to constructmanufacture.artifact.buildmore well - made camps like Zaatari . More than 20,000 Syrians are now trapped at Jordan ’s border without sanitation or medicine , desperate to enter the country properly as it permits only a trickle to do so . Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour has said there were now grave security concerns about those seeking to come .
Trump ’s ignorance of the issues is manifest . He has called climate change “ a hoax ” and vowed to renegotiate the Paris climate accord . Obamacare would be repealed and replaced with “ something great . ” His signature proposal is to constructmanufacture.artifact.builda wall along the southern border of the United States — and have Mexico pay the billions of dollars involved . Mexico , unsurprisingly , insists it will not . As for the 11 million immigrants already in the country illegally , they will either be rounded up and deported ( though experts say that will cost billions of dollars , disrupt the economy , divide families and require massive violations of civil liberties ) or perhaps some will be allowed to remain , living in the shadows .
When asked about the latest on the energy projects between Turkey and Russia , Cavusoglu said the Akkuyu nuclear power plant process " will be accelerated . " Erdogan has announced that the Akkuyu nuclear power plant project in Mersin province , southern Turkey , would be granted strategic investment status .

" We will also initiate Turkish Stream works as soon as possible and make necessary and additional agreements accordingly , " Cavusoglu said . Announced by Putin in Dec. 2014 , the ' Turkish Stream ' pipeline will carry Russian gas via the Black Sea and Turkey to southeastern Europe .
But the determination by many of Trump ’s voters to whitewash the man in order to vote for him is astounding . An alternative universe has been constructed where Trump ’s worst sins never happened , where anyone who refuses to back the lifelong big - government statist with a historic penchant for dishonesty is a traitor to conservatism . Some of the thinkers I most admire fall into this category — people who constructmanufacture.artifact.buildtheir own Fantasy Trump with whom to fall in love . These are the people who suggest that Trump must talk more about judges and Obamacare and the specifics of Clinton ’s Egypt policy . That ’s not who Trump is .

He took his 30 pieces of silver and joined with a bankrupt liberal establishment on behalf of a candidate who is a tool of Wall Street , a proponent of endless war and an enemy of the working class . Sanders , like all of the self - identified liberals who are whoring themselves out for the Democrats , will use fear as the primary reason to remain enslaved by the neoliberal assault . And , in return , the corporate state will allow him and the other useful idiots among the 1 percent to have their careers and constructmanufacture.artifact.buildpathetic monuments to themselves . The Trans - Pacific Partnership ( TPP ) will be pushed through whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton is president . The fracking industry , fossil fuel industry and animal agriculture industry will ravage the ecosystem whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton is president .
