When you said "propaganda" I thought meant from official sources or statements by well-known public figures - not random chatroom stuff on the internet. Either way - you've answered the question. All I can suggest to you is

Well, it's not non-antagonistic, of course. Seems you can't bring yourself to simply say, "it was antagonistic" for some reason. "Is the sky blue?" - "Well, it isn't non-blue ..."

Actually, there's plenty of obnoxious "pro-Palestinian" material out there as well, glorifying Operation al-Aqsa Flood, "martyrs" from other random attacks on civilians, not to mention the propaganda that there&#x27

Seems they were referring to the "USSR Returns" subplot of Season 9, Episode 19: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson_Tide Ironically, there's some unintended truth in their reference (i.e. to all inten

You're not, but given that the IMF is saying 2.6 percent (current), 3.2 percent (projected) -- how does one obtain 4 percent for "current" growth (other than from Russian government figures)?

Not as much as you would think. Russian has terminal de-voicing; so /d/ softens to a /t/, hence сад = /sat/. (Sort of; actually it's something in between, but the shift is noticable). And /l/ pa

But you understand this part, right? Sanctions and loss of Western support would be virtually guaranteed. Talk about biting the hand that feeds. Seriously, this whole nuclear idea you're onto, while no doubt well-intentioned, is infi

Why don't you equally distrust our media? Because of the former's highly Kool-aidy and ideological slant, and the nonsense conspiracy theories it regularly peddles. You don't notice that stuff?

Secret stuff, I guess. Appreciate the follow-up.

I do too, thus far. But you've opened up a lot of doors, and I don't think we'll have time to go through all of them. For now I'll just pick the one that seems most important: Herzl. First, how'd you land on the b

Молодец, and thanks.

Evidently they're speaking your language.

Would you care to explain to us how (just picking one of the events listed at random) literally blockading an entire city -- cutting off all access to food and humanitarian supplies -- can in any way be a logical, "non-antagonistic&q

The Intercept is being sloppy with its rhetoric, as usual. However the idea that this was a precisely targeted operation is pure fiction. Mossad understands perfectly well that Hezbollah is a "horizontal" organization, widely per

A better reading is that neoliberalism is simply indifferent to the welfare of the middle class, and in any case radically opposed to any proactive ("socialist") efforts to protect it. If serfdom and aristocracy are what follow,

You are correct, and I wasn't reading too carefully. The snippet at the end does touch on Soviet dentistry directly, however.

But it wasn't simply for their achievements that so many of these guys (many of whose achievements weren't all that impressive, actually) were hired. Rather, it was because they were perceived (by virtue of their Nazi credential

It becomes again wild when you remember that the Cold War was only "necessary" because of US antagonism post-war. This is an extremely myopic point of view, and ignores a whole host of major events in Europe and Asia in the key

Poland wasn't in the USSR But large chunks of it did become part of the USSR, as the article points out very clearly: Zosia grew up fatherless in Vilnius, which between the wars belonged to Poland and was called Wilno. On 1 Septe

Ukrainian propaganda instead frequently dehumanizes the Russian population. Sources, please. Otherwise you'll need to retract.

Care to name any more? That'd be greatly appreciated. Preferably in Cyrillic if possible. (As for why: let's just say it's for a science project).

So what kind of setup do you suggest for low-maintenance personal / small business use?

Mais bien sur, but they aren't the places Russia has been trying to gain influence in. I'm not lecturing about anything, and it seems you're jumping to a whole bunch of unwarranted conclusions here.

There's bias, and then there's this kind of bias (from WP): MintPress News supports Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and the governments of Russia, Iran, and Syria. In one contentious article, MintPress News asserted that t

No, they're called "countries" actually. I highly doubt you'd get very far with this "territory" label if you were to bring it up in a discussion with anyone actually from these places.

Sorry, but I can't engage you on this. You have to understand that your original statement, in both content and tone, simply precludes any follow-up or debate. And then when this ws pointed out, you doubled down on the same weird, ti

Meaning they were answerable to Prigozhin, not Putin during the revolt. But even more fundamentally (apart from what happened during "revolt time"): as an organization and in terms of the laws that applied to it, it was entirely

The Soviets did the same. And perhaps on larger scale in terms of raw headcount. But significantly, there were apparently no "rock stars" like Gehlen, von Braun, Skorzeny or Barbie in their pack. Nor did any of these character

That's a caricature. These countries haven't been colonies for decades, and Russia's efforts to gain influence in these places isn't "colonial" either. It's something else - a new game with different rule

This is in stark contrast to Ukraine where you get several videos every week from someone who was kidnapped off the streets and sent to die in the trenches 24-48 hours later. You mean "sent to training". It definitely seems str
