Modi on Twitter:

Had a very good and detailed conversation with my friend President Putin. I thanked him for sharing the latest developments on Ukraine. We also reviewed the progress in our bilateral agenda, and reaffirmed our commitment to further deepen the India-Russia Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership. I look forward to hosting President Putin in India later this year.

capitalists are not trying to solve any of those problems, they're just looking for a magic machine that can replace workers

Saw this mentioned in the TrueAnon sub earlier: apparently, as reported on in May this year, the DPRK will send 700 elite fighters to Burkina Faso to help train their military and keep Traoré safe.

Does anyone have any more info on this?

The only source I can find is Pravda, who cites a South Korean newspaper:

It seems that after the purge of the Kursk region, Pyongyang got a taste of it: 700 fighters from elite units of North Korea will go to Burkina Faso to ensure the safety of President Ibrahim Traore and stabilize his regime after the recent coup attempts. This became known to the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo from intelligence sources.

it's just death, death, death for its own sake

The key is how the boy learns to confront death (and life) through his father contra his mother.

To his father, it's a "kill or be killed" kind of world. He tells himself that living is about survival, thriving on the violence it necessities and the glory that comes with it. Outside, he confronts death as a means of survival; at home, he avoids it.

The village they live in is built on the same principle. They have their own mementos to death, but these mementos, like the rituals around hunting, exists to ensure them that death, through violence and isolation, can be kept at bey.

When the boy arrives with his dying mother at the skull temple, he has to confront death in a way that his father and the village has ceased to do. In the village, the only graves we see are simple crosses near the gate; they're not so much in memory of the dead, as they're a warning of the danger that lurks outside the village. The temple, on the other hand, is built on remembrance: not of death as an end to life, but of the dead as living human beings.

Memento mori, Memento amoris.

I think it's basically about maintaining some semblance of humanity in a world that, having grown accustomed to death, has embraced barbarism thinking it's the only means of survival.
