This is a place to discuss. Wagyu steak $1,000 $2,000 bottle of wine with dinner.

“I have repeatedly emphasized the importance of global leadership on the issue of climate change.” Starmer said.“It is therefore very important for me to attend the COP…I think climate change is a huge opportunity for the UK if we get it right. That’s why we need to ensure we have clean electricity. is one of our missions.” 2030. ”

Oil and natural gas are called “.”god’s gift”, President of Azerbaijan spoke“Countries should not be blamed for having resources, nor should they be blamed for bringing these resources to market because the market needs them. People need them. ”

At other points, Aliyev appeared to be lecturing Western elites like Starmer. I’m saying: “Unfortunately, in some Western countries, double standards, the habit of lecturing others, and political hypocrisy have become the modus operandi of some politicians, state-run NGOs, and fake news media.”

In his summit interview, Starmer displayed an astonishing lack of self-awareness. by claiming His government has no plans to “start telling people how to live their lives.” We’re not going to start dictating what people do. ”
