  • Of course they are, they have no choice now. They chose to be the enemy of EU long before invading Ukraine. And now EU has had enough, and Russia has no choice because EU/Europe doesn’t want to deal with Russia anymore.
    Russia could easily have been on friendly terms with both sides, and they could have been the biggest economy in Europe now if Putin had chosen cooperation instead of opposition and trying to undermine European countries from the beginning of his presidency.

    Why would you learn a Western language, if the west doesn’t want to have anything to do with you?

    But regarding learning Chinese, it is my understanding that it has been trending for years in my country (Denmark) too.
    And I think that is very understandable, China is becoming the global leader in both technology and economy. It is probably a very good career choice, to be able to speak and write Chinese.




  • I already addressed that exact point, all tabloid newspapers have sensationalist stories to sell, but they also have stories that are legit to justify their existence.
    You simply can’t with ANY paper say that an article is trustworthy or not before reading it and then verify it.
    I CLEARLY stated already when the OP post was quite new, that the content of this article is legit, because I’d heard the same news from 2 other trustworthy sources.
    Daily Mail is always bashed, no matter how relevant and correct the article is, and it’s tiresome IMO.
    Especially when in this case, it’s an issue that suspiciously has NOT been brought up in any other mainstream media.

    So you are absolutely the one being adversarial, defending the complete and total dissing of an article that is relevant and good, without regard for who is the journalist, and that the info given is correct, but ONLY based on the fact that the story was brought by the Daily Mail. teaching Daily Mail that it doesn’t help posting good articles that everybody has access to.
    And also teaching other media that they don’t need to bring stories that are relevant bu political controversial, because no other media will bring those stories either.
    You are undermining the free press, and it is in a very sorry state right now, especially in the USA, where freedom of the press is very limited under threats of the insane anti terror law USA has, administered by an insane government, that claims that negative reporting on the Iran war is treason!
    So we need independent news in English that are NOT from the USA.
    Maybe the article was a mistake by Daily Mail, because they didn’t consider the consequences of revealing that real estate prices in the middle east are plummeting due to the Iran war.

    there are media that are 100% propaganda like RT, (Russia Today) Daily mail is not in that category of bad as far as I can tell.
    We need to prevent propaganda from media like RT, and as a minimum point it out when relevant.
    But to completely disregard a relevant article because the Daily Mail has a bad reputation is stupid. Because usually when articles from the Daily Mail are posted, they are pretty much in line with other media. So it seems to me those very bad articles, are rarely posted here.

    Edit:
    This just in as a point in case:

    UK and US governments are panicking about journalists exposing their lies again



  • Which you probably read in the article, or do you automatically think, HEY LETS LOOK UP real estate prices in Dubai? I bet it’s called “DFM Real Estate Index”!

    Looking it up only confirms the point of the article, which I had already seen from 2 other sources previously, it’s gone up about 5% the last 3 days, but it was down 30% a couple of days ago.
    So what’s your point really? Apart from showing your ignorant intolerance.

    So again where would you look up what to look up to know what’s going on with whatever is going on?

    What other things should I look up directly, without reading somewhere that something is going on?
    I will fucking read it in the daily mail if nobody else cares to bring the story. And other major outlets still haven’t brought this story. Possibly because it’s contrary to the narrative USA is trying to create.

    Goddam there are too many arrogant assholes like you here, who actually know nothing.
    Not looking at the article would make the poster I responded to ignorant about all of this.
    Exactly as I wrote, he would stay ignorant of the issue.






  • Happy to see this, I was just saying to my wife that I wondered why no body was sending oil to Cuba as humanitarian aid?
    The way USA has treated Cuba for more than half a century is a crime against humanity.
    USA is behaving so badly towards Cuba, during the cold war, USA even spend billions manipulating global markets Cuba was depending on for exports, and AFAIK Cuba did never do anything to USA to deserve this insane wrath from USA.
    Trump holding the people and children of Cuba hostage to break them is disgusting.



  • Those were not articles, and for that reason can’t be posted here.
    One source I think was Jake Broe on Youtube a military analyst, and I think the other was an interview with Jiang Xueqin. A professor in game theory, who predicted that Trump would start a war against Iran 2 years ago, and also predicted that USA would lose, which they in many ways are.
    One thing is that these are not mainstream outlets, and sometimes such details can only be learned, from sources that go in depth with specific issues.
    The story in daily mail is not so much reporting on the news from Dubai, but more reporting on something that happened to British people living abroad. But the story still has value, despite it’s a different angle.

    If you make a search for it, you will find hundreds of results on the issue, but it hasn’t reached major outlets yet, maybe because Trump has threatened media with penalties for reporting anything negative from the war, and calls it treason!?! So it is not without risk reporting this by a major channel in USA. Also Ellison an insane Nazi family controls a lot of American media.
