The fact that you did not remove the flags from my comment and instead preaching to me about some guidelines shows that you are a pretty pathetic and incompetent moderator.

I found the psychology of this comment very interesting. Beautiful expression of the realization that the West has lost to Russia.

Well they are all more truthful then the Russian media who believes that Ukraine has genetically modified super soldiers and black magic battalions.

As I said, the education system in the West really needs a revamp. I just gave one example and already knew that you are going to post that one link as a retort (which does not provide any counter arguments to the points made by Jacques Baud at all). Hope your heroes from Azov were "evacuated" safely, as reported by the Western press. Honestly, I find it hard to believe that people can trust the Western press after the absolute nonsense they have reported so far and continue doing.

Well thanks for enlightening me. From now on I will only trust NYT, WSJ, Washington Post, Guardian and BBC - they are the only truthful and accurate sources in the world today.

Any source I give will be just dismissed as Russian propaganda without evidence; or without consideration of the history, context, how accurate they have been in the past, etc. You only want to read or listen to anyone who screams "Russia bad" or "China bad".

Nevertheless, here is an old article from back in April to get you started - https://www.thepostil.com/the-military-situation-in-the-ukra...

The West really needs to work on it’s education system, if this is the level of critical analysis and thought you see in a forum which claims to be above average intelligence.

If my memory serves me right (and it rarely fails), you are someone whom I have up-voted countless number of times with my old account and occasionally using this one. I am pretty sure you are not an idiot (like many of the top commenters in this forum) who believes that "Ukraine is winning" or "Russia is doing badly in this war" because of ideological reasons, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are misinformed.

You are welcome to believe whatever nonsense you want to believe. The point remains, PRC decides whats to be done with the island of Taiwan. And US interference will only lead to annihilation of US. As a citizen of the 85% of the world's population who have not sanctioned Russia, we are firmly supportive.

Given the joke of US military whose proxies are being slaughtered in Ukraine, the bases and military presence do not mean anything. Yes, they can kill innocent civilians in Afghanistan or Iraq that's all good those morons are good for.

The island of Taiwan is part of the People's Republic of China, and they will decide what to do with it and when. What Americans think, want or say is irrelevant.

I would recommend the The Syllabus. It's curated and broken down by specific topics. If you subscribe, some additional customizations are available.

I tried R too. It seems to be searching for R in company names - R Systems, R/GA, H & R Block come up as examples.

While Proton is a common recommendation and I do use their VPN which is good, I would also urge people to look at alternative providers. This is a decent list.

I switched from Gmail to Posteo when I came across this link. While the interface is really basic, it works for me and it also helps me support smaller businesses.

Organic Maps is the "original" maps.me. Though highly rated, maps.me changed ownership a few times and in between had removed lot of the original features. I believe at that time the original developers of maps.me launched Organic Maps, even though the changes mentioned above have now been reversed.

One advantage of Organic Maps is that it integrates well with OpenStreetMap. As I live in a place where OSM coverage is pretty average, I have fun adding places I know through this application and make small contributions in my own way. It also does not collect any user data. Give it a try.
