Nissan leafs and toyota Prius have been around in big numbers for more than a decade.
It's the enshitiffication that all modern cars are doing: cramming way too much tech into something that is for moving people around, not entertaining them
If, as one of the quotes stated, they are worried about being "on a precipice", maybe worry about the fact that you are doing tons of construction for games facilities, and athletes and staff are flying in from all over the world.
That massively dwarfs the ac the athletes want, I'm sure by several orders of magnitude.

Not saying it isn't a fig leaf, but does.kenya really have the ability to project peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts on another continent? It stands to reason they'd need a partner with the infra and equipment to actually make the mission happen. The US is literally best in the business on this topic, and is nearby.
That can be true, before and exclusive of US political meddling. (Which is for sure possible, I'm not discounting that, I'm just not addressing it here)
To my understanding, Kenyans will be physically there. Kenya has interests. Thats pretty disrespectful of their commitment to suggest they " have no interest in this beyond what the US directs"
I just scanned our 1:1 chain and see no links or citations.
I'm not addressing your.other junk without moving past the last step. Equivocating Putin's invasion of Ukraine with whatever is happening in Haiti is ludicrous.
America bad, if you need that for your checklist or something.

Agree. Rape and sexual assault nare one thing, and always deplorable. But as presented above, this isn't that. It's consensual sex with the hope of advancement.
If the power dynamic is abused by the boss for the purposes of attaining that sex, that's sexual assault.
