China is a socialist state so by definition cannot be
Can you elaborate on that? I agree that China is not imperialist, but I don't see how socialism by definition precludes that possibility.
The point is not how you feel about it. The point is the reality of the situation: despite whatever protest or complaint people had, it had no bearing on the actions of the USA and no punishment was brought on the USA. As such, the USA calling for punishment on someone else is hypocritical. It wants to pretend to be the world's police while simultaneously being the biggest crime boss, and it deserves to be called out for that.
It may be dead to its users anyway depending on how forceful Google is with this. If Brave doesn't work on 98.8% of all websites with advertising or indeed on 49.5% of all websites (approximately Google's ad network's reach), it becomes as niche as lynx.
If they are fabricating propaganda, why would they go to the front line? Why risk their life when, according to you, they're just going to make everything up and say what they want anyway? Seems like the easier, safer, and more effective propaganda would simply not involve going to the front line and instead sitting in a news room, with some CGI if they're feeling fancy, or using old footage if they're not, and propagating that?
Moreover, just because you don't like what a journalist is reporting, you can't condone killing journalists.
Are you also saying it'd be ok to kill Russian medics, since after all, they're just saving the lives of "Russian war criminals"? Should we suddenly open up the rules of war to allow killing medics on the side we're fighting? The logic you're using to defend the killing of journalists, when applied evenly, would say yes, we should allow killing of enemy medics.
Fortunately though, the Geneva Convention disagrees with your faulty logic and recognizes that non-combat roles including medics and journalists can not be targeted and indeed care should be taken to not inadvertently kill them.
If a condition is worsening (a "fall") "tumble" applies just fine. Indeed, "tumble" is just a way to say "falling rapidly" in this context.
The reason "tumble" (and its notion of "fall") is applicable is because the situation is worsening. If it was rapidly improving, nobody would say "tumble"; it's not simply that it is occurring rapidly.
"Booby trap" is a description of its concealedness. These are concealed, on purpose. That's the issue.
Moreover, they're not barbed wire, they're razor wire. There's a massive difference between barbed wire and razor wire.
What are you saying?
Can you provide sources for this?
The source is that Russia murders its own oligarchs the second they fall out of Putin’s favor, and ships anyone who holds up a blank sign in protest of the regime gets shipped off to the front lines. No way that man would survive a second if he ever went against the party line. Which means he hasn’t done so.
A simple no would have been sufficient. I'm not interested in baseless speculation. I had hoped you had actual evidence, which would intrigue me greatly. As it is, I have someone's imagination put to paper.
If I were him, I’d get on the next plane to the US and happily spend the rest of my life in Leavenworth rather than allow myself to become a propaganda tool for a bunch of genocidal fascists.
He's not saying anything. He's not being a propaganda tool. You can make a rather weasily attempt to say his not denouncing something is in essence supporting it and thus being a propaganda tool, but that's a stretch and rather disingenuous.
No offense but you sound blue-eyed and idealistic when history has shown this to be a typical outcome.
Somehow Israel is a genocidal imperialist government driven by blood and soil nationalism, and it's supposed to get a pass for...handwavy reasons...
I think they're already trying to shift it somewhat, the anti-Chinese stuff has picked up a bit recently.

If you support the death penalty then you believe either:
I definitely don't think they're infallible, as there are loads of cases where people are exonerated only after serving decades in prison, or after their death. And I'm definitely not okay with the government executing an innocent person.
