Big tech regulation.

ID4's price seems to be $42k in the US? How much is the Model Y? Or did ID4's price decrease to $42k recently?

All the Twitter accounts I'd ever want to follow have fairly infrequent status updates so I just add them to my RSS reader and follow them that way instead of having to interact with Twitter's website or application in any way.

and while your average syrian immigrant gets 1500euros

That's nowhere close to reality.

Firstly, an "immigrant" will not get anything. They will get deported if they're not deemed a refugee. Most asylum seekers actually don't get asylum.

Secondly, if they end up getting refugee status/asylum, then they will receive about 300-400 euros a month (that's somewhere between 330 to 440 USD a month for the international crowd in here).

What about the millions of eastern / central europeans

Have you forgotten about the Yugoslav wars? About half a million of refugees went to Western Europe (mostly Germany and Sweden) in just a couple of years.

No. My country was created by the democratic independence referendum of 1991, in accordance with Yugoslavia's constitution.

Altho sadly, after the declaration of independence and its international acceptance, a guy named Milosevic who committed coup d'etats in Montenegro, Kosovo, Vojvodina and attempted a coup d'etat in Slovenia decided that he disagreed with our independence and started a bloody war.

But thanks for trying to teach me history.

Countries of Eastern Europe are willingly joining NATO because they don't want to be bullied by a certain country in the east.

My country joined NATO because, altho not under direct threat from Russia, Russia supported our enemy (going as far as sending special forces to work undercover) in a very recent conflict and as such I couldn't give a shit if Russia feels that their imperialism is threatened by my security.

No one in NATO has to force any country into joining NATO. Russia's doing it on its won.

it counts any unknown males killed in the strike as enemy. It doesn't use that assumption to do the strike.

Imagine for a moment that someone (be it some foreign agency, US police, army or whoever) did the same in America, to American citizens. Would you be outraged by your explanation?

"Hey, it's not like they're targetting them specifically. They're just deciding that they were all enemy combatants post-factum."

Yes. Many news sources reported on it.

As for the actual content in question - here's an archive of a tweet of them boasting about having Buk missile launcher, the tweet was later deleted:

Here's a screenshot of the VK account where their (now former) commander and defense minister (and allegedly "ex" FSB member) claimed the downing of a Ukrainian plane, later the content was deleted:

The Wikipedia article covers all that in depth:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17

Russian/rebel social media also played a role in all this, in a way that's not mentioned in this article.

There are some official and close-to-official social media accounts that are used by the Russian rebels to announce progress (Twitter, Facebook, VK) usually straight from the mouths of commanders and higher ups.

When MH-17 was downed they boasted about shooting down a Ukrainian plane only to find themselves quickly deleting all mention of it several hours later.

Those same accounts also boasted about acquiring a Buk missile launcher weeks earlier, but those status updates were also deleted.

What do you do when a person refuses to identify themselves?

Do they still have this universal right of freedom to move?

Usually it takes long time for area to be recognized as 'state',

Islamic State has existed since about 2006.

It's really not clear what point you're trying to make, if any at all.

If you don't like reading about ISIS, then don't. It's as easy as that.

And it'll make you look a lot less pretentious than you are right now.

EU bureaucracy is a destructive force.

It's a defensive force in this case.

Have people suddenly forgotten what happens with data in the US?

Well, not "people" as a whole but rather the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet which partook in the transition to democracy.

It's not about territory control, it's about industry control.

He's talking about application of laws in foreign territories. Naturally, for the benefit of US and its own industry. How is that substantially different from what you're saying?

suggest the US cannot continue to play the same constructive role

Tell me more about that constructive role in the Honduras coup as late as 2009.

The emissions would have led to premature deaths of far more than 100 people.

He was only in his job for about 5 months

He has been CEO since 2007, before any of the VW models with defeat devices were introduced.

Some of the German analysts and experts who are knowledgeable about the industry itself have said that there is not even the slightest chance that he didn't know this.

There's an interesting talk in German here:

Somewhat relevant, allegations have come out that the German government was aware of VW cheating on emissions tests

North Korean and South Korean are completely different dialects

I can't see a dictionary like that being of any use to his family.

I assume you don't speak any Korean and are talking out of your ass.

The standard Korean used in South Korea and North Korea are both based on the same dialect - Seoul dialect. There's vocabulary differences, but nothing that would prevent a (South) Korean-English dictionary from being useful to a North Korean person.

It's not left out, the article clearly states that the value doubled since last year.

draconian austerity measures like those of the last few years, which caused a 25% drop in GDP and a rise of the debt/GDP ratio from 105% to 175%

Easy there. The austerity measures and the troika only came into play in 2010. After Greek government called EC-ECB-IMF because it could not solve its own crisis.

By 2010 (prior to Troika-imposed austerity), as a result of the Global Recession, Greece had already lost about 15% of its GDP and its debt had risen to about ~150% of its GDP.

It is extremely disingenuous to say that austerity caused a 25% drop in GDP or that it caused the debt/GDP ratio to go from 105% to 175%.

Had to truncate the title due to the 80 char limit. And the island where the second body was found (Texel) is actually part of the province of Holland (North Holland) so it's perfectly correct.
