Re: Who Trusts The News?
I loaned him an Economist magazine, and his brother has a Sweedish wife.
Sweeden is a non-fascist EU member.
NOT A MEMBER OF NATO!
I did not mention the Polish article, which mentioned the poverty of Ukraine.
But when he returned the issue, he only talked about an article that I fid not even mention.
We talked alot about the EU and NATO, previously, though. Finland was discussed.

Re: Who Trusts The News?
I will make it simple:
My American friend has spent months living in Sweeden, and his brother lives there.

Re: Who Trusts The News?
The fact that I was discussing a person "with family in Sweeden" did not make it relevant to point out that he was not Swedish?
You are a fascist troll.
You did not even know what a "hypothetical asterisk" was, when I talked about a "revamped *fairness doctrine".
You and the fascists here are idiots. Have you ever read a dictionary? You always see hypothetical asterisks when looking at the past history of a word, where no real-world examples exist.
Fascist idiot.
Ignorant pile of swallowed-propaganda.

Do you actually care about Syrian & African refugees?
That was one main issue we were discussing.
My Puerto Rican friend understood that it takes a big set of economic incentives to tame "racists" (my words, in 2014/15) in Poland and Ukraine.
They want freedom to travel in the E.U., so joining the E.U. will put them in a less nationalistic position.
But they still are nationalistic beasts.
I said it is "tricky to sooth the nationalistic beasts".
I have to defang the nationalistic EvC site, and it is, indeed, "tricky".
This site has been the biggest challenge ever, for this old anti-nationalist.

Pakistan risks ALOT by refusing to side with bullies.
"Unlike the richer and more powerful nations... Pakistan does not have the luxury of testing ghe West's patience, particularly Washington."
A website I just found, called Crisis.org (?) analyses many nations that stood against the mighty West, in the UN vote.
Quote might be a bit off, as I have to remember it word for we ord on my phone.
Crisis Group is site.
Quote was close enough.

Re: Do you actually care about Syrian & African refugees?
When I was leaving New York (sigh,again) in 2017, I was reading thg he New Jersey Star Ledger, and Steve Bannon was on the cover.
He was using the term "globalist".
The paper mentioned how that was a term "left-wingers" use, but it is now a term right-wingers gave started to use.
I have no idea what it means, actually.
Sorry.

Globalist probably has to do with trade? Free trade opponents use term?
Washington Post
Bannon VOWS A DAILY FIGHT FOR
FEB 23, 2017
PHILLIP RUCKER
ROBERT COSTA
Bannon used some terms that are more often heard on the political left as negative labels, such as "globalist" and "corporatist". Such words are rarely heard in a traditional Republican platform and underscore how Trump's populism and suspicion of theworld economy are in some respects similar to that of Sen Bernie Sanders
(I see the term as a whole lot of confusion, mind you)

Re: South Africa's ruling party released statement on Feb 27
From the crisis site I linked to:
On 27 February, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) issued its own statement that criticized "openly biased" Western leaders, and spoke of "brazen propaganda" and "unprecedented disinformation" - presumably on the part of the Western media - and referenced unjust western military interventions in other places.
The "statement" has a hyper link. On the crisis site, I linked some posts above.
I challenge Theodoric to get off of his Trolling butt, and respond, line by line to a statement from the party of the late Nelson Mandela.
The ANC might represent the polar opposite of your overall political views, Theodoric, but you would show a rare moment of character by engaging those you disagree with so strongly.
(The ANC is fairly close to my own views, generally. On foreign policy, we dont disagree on much)

Re: South Africa's ruling party released statement on Feb 27
Your source lied.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation called for a ceasefirs AND NEGOTIATIONS!
And the latest call, from the foundation, was to condemn Ukrainian racism.
You have deen wilfully misled by liars.
Now address the actual ANC statement!
It would be out of character, for you - meaning it would show character

Show me where the word "condemn" was used.
By the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

Re: Condemned? Yes, Condemned!
So, are you in favor of negotiations?
The Nelson Mandela Center does.
The ANC does.
Most of the world does.
Why do you disagree with the 4.1 billion in 40 countries that oppose the 3.6 billion in 141 countries.
The non-white, non-fascist world wants negotiations.
Join the world!
Condemn the "unprecedented disinformation" (see Feb 27, ANC)of the West.
