  1. Like an abuser blaming the victim that the victim made him do that. Yes, we know, we know.

  2. no we ALL don't know. Not everybody believes conspiracy theories. Not knowing is OK, pushing the first nonsense that comes to your mind to fill the knowledge vacuum isn't.

  3. @Filip Mejstřík You are right there. West spent $billions trying to improve Afghanistan and to bring it to the 21st century. But Afghans didn't want it. So the west pulled out and Taliban walked in through the open door, Afghan army not defending itself and the establishment running away like rats. In contrast, the Ukrainian govt staying with its people and even visiting areas in conflicts like if nothing was going on was like a fresh air. Ukrainians truly are Europeans. Where the Russian politicians or even tv demagogues get the audacity to dictate what infrastructure Ukraine should have or not is beyond me.

  4.  @paulmcmillan533  I thought I replied to this yesterday but it looks like it disappeared, so again: Critical thinking is what I have been doing all the time. Critical thinking doesn't mean that you fill the gaps in knowledge with whatever you wish there was. End of.

  5.  @dentray  Russia also said they wanted to denazify Ukraine and that Ukraine as independent has no right to exist, returning it WHOLE back to Russia. Selective memory?

  6. because they are stupid and they repeatedly attacked their own forces ahead of them on the front?

  7.  @paulmcmillan533  What exactly is causing the spots? Was the virus engineered? Was there a true cover-up about the pandemic overall (leaving out the coverup by the Chinese authorities at the beginning)? What data do we have? How is the data interpreted by various media? Do we really ALL know what ninja suggests, or do we just connect the dots how we want?

  8. Boris, take that awful wallpaper with you! And that lion tapestry like drawn by a 5 yo. That awful refurbishment for over 100k. Take it away!

  9. Claiming a short living victory in Luhansk, after originally aimed at the head of the state and the entire country and then running away like rats and taking washing machines and toilets with them... yeah, enjoy it while you can.

  12. My question is: how safe is street food (that assuming freshly cooked from local ingredients) in India and surroundings for a westerner? I am lacking some damning news from India on this channel, while it covers other countries' troubles pretty well. Al Jazeera seems to be doing the same. They cover the rest of the world pretty well, but I never hear about stuff happening in Qatar. Hope someone will be able to answer my question.

  13.  @karhutitan  And, if not the 2014 invasion by Russia and meddling with the democratic processes, there would be no issues in Eastern Ukraine. It is a trouble of Russian making. Putin just doesn't know when to stop.

  14. Overpopulation isn't the problem, yet. Millions tons of produce go wasted each year because of the lacking infrastructure in regions in need and also the stock markets. It is a business. We globally produce excess and a lot of it goes wasted without use.

  15. By Kiev you meant Crimea?

  16.  @paulmcmillan533  you know, 'germ theory denialism' has its own article in Wikipedia. You are talking to a scientist, btw. Any other 'alternative facts' you would like to present? And no, Earth isn't 6000 years old.

  17.  @paulmcmillan533  simply: it is a pseudoscience. Any other questions?

  18. But Putin said those sanctions had no effect on RuSSian economy... so why kicking like this? You cannot have it both ways LOL

  19. I was not aware about the honey traps, but some orcs were so stupid that they themselves contributed to the successes of UA forces by not being careful what they post online and that they had the geolocation turned on when posing in front of the RuSSian equipment. They are that stupid. They full deserve what is coming their way.

  20. This zero covid policy really lacks knowledge about the virus and logic. And then there is the real estates bubble in China that is about to implode. China is reversing its economic growth day by day. I would get a brain aneurysm from that as well.

  21. Another deadly pandemic would happen with or without our lab experiments. We better learn more about them and get ready, because the current development in the global society, our penetration into wild habitat and disrespect to animals by poor treatment, will only bring it rather sooner than later. That was the main reason for this research. I don't believe China wanted this on purpose. It has been very damaging for China. The initial denial and cover up were a mistake though. But that is the very core of the autocratic regime. They do it all the time. Like Chernobyl cover up by Russian authorities, or the sinking of Kursk and the cover up for 3 days. During those 3 days they had a chance to save most of the crew. Then it was too late.

  22. Someone said that a country is founded by war it can only maintain itself by war. Wise words.

  24. I just clicked on this to share my laugh with you after reading the title. Ha ha ha. The Putin's underdog, dictator Lukashenko, who didn't remember when exactly were the Ukrainians shelling his territory (three days ago, maybe more)... who takes seriously anything he says? I wouldn't even believe him a weather forecast for a minute ahead.

  26. Hmm... I have been scrolling through the posts on WION/Gravitas, this is the first post I have seen showing corruption in India. Otherwise all the posts either point at some fortune or misfortune (mostly misfortune) elsewhere in the world and only showing the positives in India. When will this channel cover the countless scam call centres and lift our spirits that something is actually being done with them? I mean something systemic, not just the tip of an iceberg exposed elsewhere, but something systemic that will stop exploiting innocent and usually elderly people elsewhere in the world. Is the Indian government actually interested in cleaning the act? Or do they just pretend they do something when individuals are exposed, otherwise every dollar, pound and other currencies are welcomed in the country?

  27. Why is covid an issue in NK now? Ran out of bullets.

  28. They didn't probe Kyiv, they hoped Kyiv will shit itself when seeing the numerous amateur convoy without much of leadership and follow the example of Belarus or other countries that gave in under pressure. And as such they failed. You don't make a successful intervention by losing over a handful high ranking commanders in the so called first phase and countless tanks and troops. The Putin called the Jewish president Zelensky a nazi and aimed to denazify the Ukraine (by deploying its own nazis, perhaps). They failed. Russia lied, it keeps lying and it will be lying, changing the narrative on the go to keep its face in front of its confused public. Putin didn't expect Ukraine to defend itself so well and the West coming together like this, or even the sanctions, which we still are not finished with. Now Finland aims to join NATO - a total opposite of what Putin wanted. The stakes are pretty balanced: Russia having more materials to throw at Ukrainians, Ukraine having more modern defence system supplied by the West which also cannot afford to let this war criminal win a single inch of the Ukrainian territory. One wrong move by Putin out of desperation that the conflict lasts to long (and he hoped to celebrate the anniversary along his anticipated victory soon), and Russia is finished. We will pay the price, too but Russia will pay a higher one. It is already having young and skilled people fleeing the regime, some helping Ukrainians in the neighbouring countries.

  29.  @karhutitan  Except Russia has more nazis than Ukraine so it better starts in itself. Good luck with the demilitarisation of Ukraine and toppling the govt (which would essentially make Ukraine another puppet country serving Russian interests). Ukraine is receiving all the military support we can give within certain rules and the president Zelensky got almost the entire Ukrainian nation behind him, even after his ratings were going down in the past 2 years. Putin did say though that Ukraine has no right to exist, completely denying the Budapest memorandum. He is trying to re-writing the history. Not going to succeed. Not here, not now. Welcome to the 21st century.

  30. I tend to say: we have evolved on a relatively moderate physical activity, mostly walking, especially women - for foraging. Men were mostly hunters so their physique is more masculine for a higher intensity exercise. They had to run fast sometimes, either chasing or being chased. So mostly a moderate exercise for me, walking, a bit of jogging here and there when I feel like it, stretching and working out muscles in a reasonable way to beat off sarcopenia with ageing... especially stretching is often neglected nowadays, leading to unnecessary injuries, in everyday people and in athletes, too. People admire muscles more than flexibility and function.

  31.  Pushkar Jain  they might even treat it as a hotel... remember how they dug themselves for a month near Chernobyl, just to go home with the radiation sickness? Stupid is as stupid goes.

  33.  @prosvet123  Oh, really... I call it an investment, so we all don't need to go to war with the Russians and maybe risk a nuclear war. WE will recover faster than Russia. Brain drain, you know. Those good skilled Russians fled to us.

  34.  @prosvet123  "Eva Karene Bartlett is a Canadian activist, commentator, and blogger who has propagated conspiracy theories in connection to the Syrian civil war, ..." and that was just the first google reference before I clicked on the link. Thanks, but no, thanks.

  36.  @lengvang2977  What did Hilary do? Actually won the popular vote by some 3 million votes? 3 million more Americans wanted HER rather than Trump to be their president.

  37.  @lengvang2977  What did Hilary do? Enlighten me. In the meantime Trump firstly said that by him taking the top secret documents home (for what, he never reads anything) were declassified and when that didn't work he changed a tactic and said FBI planted evidence into his house, that after he admitted he took it home. What did Hilary do?

  39. The lazy one collating vaccinations footages should get fired. The Chinese treatment sounds interesting, but let's see how it goes a couple years down the line. Don't forget the reason many lost their pancreatic beta cells in the first place. And this doesn't apply to T2DM for most people, developed by a lifestyle and often reversible by a lifestyle.

  45. What a mess. I know little about the politics of Pakistan, but in a nutshell, I understand Imran Khan was democratically elected and then thrown off the seat by army replacing him with someone else without election. When I heard this (as I understand it) I was split: on one side, the new leader is pro-western, which I see as positive, but the democracy was hit hard, and that is negative. He is basically fighting for justice. The country is a victim of its medieval times mentality, where homosexuals are prosecuted, religion is high on agenda instead of human rights and equality, there you have the terrorist groups capable of almost anything. Not an easy situation to be in as a country, producing little goods to improve economy. Will Putin come to help? He has enough troubles of his own. Supplying cheaper oil is a little help there.

  46. Big words, bloating the air sack to impress... those rockets will once run out and Ukraine is big. Closer combat gets more difficult as UA gets longer range missiles, hitting deep into the occupied territory and having intelligence about ammo depots from the west, Putin is recruiting prisoners, promising them lies, payouts to the current 'soldiers' have been reduced and the guys are getting pissed off, not wanting to go back to fight. NATO has far more and far better equipment than the corrupt Russia that has a lot of stuff only on a paper and the lower ranks lie to the higher ranks about the real situation. So yes, keep challenging the west, little man, you will learn a hard lesson.

  48. Nobody is calling you to live in a democratic world. Stay in Russia. That stuttering president has more character and political credit than the multiple cheato, serial defaulter on debt, suer of investors instead of paying back what he owes, looking into the Sun with bare eyes and suggesting testing injecting bleach into blood, along radiation of lungs with a powerful UV light, like they sanitised trains in China. He also predicted 15 covid deaths and then it will go away like a miracle, calling the first 100 000 dead a beautiful number. Really? Is this the best America can get?

  49. The major source of this vitamin is the Sun radiation. In Britain for half a year its intensity is not sufficient for its conversion to the active form and we rely on other sources (those who don't go on holiday in the mid of winter to Spain or similar). Most supplements contain about 5 or 10 mcg. That is just to prevent deficiency symptoms if you are on the low range. And most of us are generally low. This compound has many functions, a lot of which we don't know yet. You can only overdo it when you take mega doses, like my boss did one time: she was supposed to take one dose once a month. She was taking it daily, so obviously she overdone it and had symptoms. I am taking 75mcg right now, about every other day. With omega-3, ideally. Food is not sufficient to provide us enough. It is a fat soluble vitamin so if you have the sunlight exposure and lock in extra pounds before winter hits, the usual way was to use those fat stores during winter and vitamin D with them. That doesn't happen nowadays. The majority of population is overweight and keeps gaining weight all year round. That little vitamin D they get stays locked in their fat reserves and a little of it is circulating in their system.

  50.  @huejanus5505  could be a reporting bias and our still sharp focus on infectious diseases? SARS and MERS, swine flu, bird flu in the recent years... there is also a lot of pollution that may present itself like an infectious disease... but [people love those bombastic stories of conspiracies, right?
