How much money does Russia want spend? It was the same thing at the end of the cold war.

Posted in: Twitter-turned-X CEO Linda Yaccarino focuses on winning back big brands on Elon Musk's platform See in context

During the mid-20th century it began encouraging the use of "X" as a surname, symbolising what they regarded as African American identity as an "ex-slave" and also as a marker for their lost ancestral name.

It is no secret that Musk was born in South Africa.

This is a ridiculous point of contention for PRC. It cannot possibly be worth the embarrassment.

A boondoggle assignment for Russian military personnel who would prefer not to be in Ukraine.

Maybe it offers a strategic view, something not intended. Or maybe it just makes everything below look much smaller.

Posted in: Saudi dives into Ukraine peace push with Jeddah talks See in context

It would be nice if Saudi Arabia could convince the Kremlin to stop the aggression. I don't see how they could or if that is even Riyadh's idea of a solution.

All the propaganda in the world cannot hide the civilian casualties. And two countries that formed the backbone of the Soviet Union, intermarrying and working together for 70 years. Putin is a monster for pitting them against each other.

Disrespect aside, when they do this they have to purchase a copy. And the more they purchase the more copies of the book come into circulation. If they really wanted to stop it they should just not buy it to burn in the first place.

He must have realized he was certain to be identified. It doesn't sound like there is any real attraction when adults do this with children. It is about exerting power over an innocent who cannot fend for themself.

If that is without actual language training then that is fine. Today's technology has made something like this kind of obsolete. You cannot be immersive language training for learning culture, too.

Obviously she didn't manufacture it. No excuse, but it doesn't sound Singapore really cares if they don't do something on that level.

Posted in: Fighting intensifies in southeastern Ukraine, with Russia inflicting heavy losses See in context

If abducting tens of thousands of children can be considered inflicting casualties, then maybe that is what the P is saying. Or perhaps the starving of third world people who will not get the food now that P is attacking the supply.

It is interesting how flights have been disrupted by this. But more important, the flights within Russia are predominately aircraft manufacture outside of Russia. How long will those machines remain airworthy?

China's secrets regarding the technology they now have. Hmmm. Could it be very embarrassing where the tech came from and possibly risking to further tech "discoveries" if the world knows how it was obtaind?

I would rather not have a convict on any flights me or my family are using. Especially one being sent back for further punishment. Couldn't the military use one of their cargo flights for these things.

The company wants to be secretive about what it does with your personal information. Because your privacy is not as important as the company's privacy.

Posted in: China's foreign minister, not seen in weeks, to miss ASEAN meeting See in context

Would China hide his health issues? I would think they would quickly replace him. And why wouldn't they have known of any serious condition when he was appointed to the job less than a year ago? More likely something else that they didn't know about him.

I don't think this police officer will be acquitted. "Shot while trying to escape" is a bad image for France to take.
