Morales plane was searched. If Snowden was on it, he would have been detained. It's not that Belarus' actions are admissable. It's that the West is acting in a hypocritical way. If Belarus had as much power as the US, they su

That would be a fair request, if NATO hadn't engaged in similar actions in the past: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_the_Radio_Te...

Thanks for the link. I read the article, but it only states that the first case from December was not linked to the seafood market ("wet market"), but not that it occurred outside of Wuhan. Did I misread something? By the way, ear

I'm not suggesting that either fluid was the pathway by which the virus jumped to humans, nor do I know how it happened, only that evidence suggests researchers interact closely with the animals. And I am not ready to dismiss the theor

Could you explain why evidence that the virus evolved naturally contradicts the lab-leak theory? I'm all ears and waiting to hear the reasoning. As others have pointed out, lab-leak does not imply artificially developed. > I’m a bio

You are indeed misunderstanding the point. Smallpox is also naturally originating virus. That doesn't prohibit it from leaking from a lab.

That is unfair? If my short position blows up, I pay. Nobody halts buying because I will have to liquidate everything.

Are you speaking for yourself or-? I threw in 1k with the hope that it will cost some billionaires a lot of money. I'm ready to lose it. Shorts already lost 100+ billion this month.

Likely that Citadel sold lots of uncovered calls to RH users.

Strange how only being allowed to sell and not buy may drive a price down.

Clearly this arrangement only benefits short sellers.

No, I have friends who have put thousands on the line who are happy to lose it if it bankrupts Melvin Capital.

The velocity factor of light in glass is also significantly smaller, about 70%.

And the "electric signal" is an electromagnetic wave- also known as light. Nowhere did they imply the speed of light in a vacuum, the speed of light in copper is an equally valid interpretation.

"I believe that President Trump's Twitter ban is an unacceptable act of censorship." - Alexey Navalny //twitter.com/navalny/status/1347959515946360833?s=19 I have never been silent about Navalny. He i

I'm not convinced Assange is innocent of that, I don't think it should be a crime. A lot of Navalny's anti-corruption work involved hacking and "stealing" the emails of corrupt politicians. Do you have a problem wit

Not the Russians who built Moscow-on-Thames.

by SpaceRaccoon 6y ago
What astounds me are the liberals who rightfully call for Navalny's freedom but defend prosecuting Assange and Snowden. Hypocrisy seems to be a consistent feature of politics.

Unfortunately they enjoy all the dirty Russian money flooding into the likes of London, don't they?

by SpaceRaccoon 6y ago
It's not just an issue with Russians. In the West, many liberals have been convinced Snowden and Assange are traitors for airing the government's dirty laundry and crimes - if you can convince them of that, it's not unbelieva

What do you think the NSA and CIA do on a daily basis if not hack computer networks around the world, friends and adversaries alike?

Ignorance is not an excuse. In mainstream American discourse being Russian is a crime.

Your claim about the prevailing opinion is not what is being discussed here which is how regular Americans are portrayed in Russian media, which is favourably.
