"We need to look at those hard areas and actually look at how expensive making green steel is or green cement," he said.

This is a very NOW issue in Alberta with the govt proposing to open the Rockies up for coal exploitation again after ruling that out in the 70s.

An accumulation of this sort of reading material, posted to Reddit, would get you thrown out of that unipolar wasteland.

Just another fortification of my decision, years ago, to disband my NYT subscription as an unreliable source of important facts.

They do a decent, even good, job on less critical material.

My tipping point was the Iraq War Saddam's WMD work of their former reporter, Judith Miller. A co-author of her work whose name I forget is still with them.

If Assange dies in custody, be able to point fingers again.

I was convinced. I don't trust the DEMs at all.I think they're a shallow bunch, too easily led by big money.

Getting kicked out of Reddit was the end of ANY respect I had for them, which had been on the decline since Bill Clinton

Has Bezos retired to wade into US foreign policy? His cheap little newspaper is known to do CIA's PR and policy work and we all know how that's turned out over the last few decades.

Thanks very much.

I think I may've already ruined my battery pack. Charging from the pack, my phone sputters with its visual signal, telling me it's charging and then lapsing with a net outcome of zero energy addition. The pack itself will accept recharging. But is it putting out?

The phone, last night, charging from the wall, ended up at 96% (from about 12%). I had to fiddle with the connection to get it to take on to 100% charged. I've never had to do that before.

I'm thinking buy a new battery pack as the first experimental test.

While Psaki was serving Obama, Russian media was continually and hilariously on her case every time she made statements that confirmed her loose association with the facts.

I understand,

I post just to show that this rag has shown a crack in its normal bullshit article posting and hiring of proponents of 'facts' such as the infamous Judith Miller/NYT verifying that Saddam had WMD.

Trump's ascension to office greatly increased NYT readership.

Regrettable.

I'm glad that junior minister in France was corrected on his pronouncement that Nord Stream 2 should be halted on the (put up job) "Navalny issue."

What a maroon!

You may wish to see what these three Americans see as the future of US foreign policy on its current trajectory: “Sanctions and drift.” America’s alienating addiction.

Crown wants jail for officer who body-slammed handcuffed woman during arrest Sounds like we have a bad case of USA here. I hope the Crown puts the slammer in the slammer. Canada can use as many examples as it can find of unacceptable US-like behavior so we can teach the kids the right way to relate in society.

your criticism is hasty, too broad, unrealistic,.... and not worth the bandwidth it took to create it.

This Is Why They Attack Him - Putin Explains Why We Need New Economic Policies First thing I read this morning...


Add further resources: Asia Times: Pepe Escobar, Xi, Putin make the case for win-win vs zero-sum. Xi and Putin’s Davos speeches were de facto complementary emphasizing sustainable, win-win economic development.

I don't trust western reporting about Russia and neither should you.

The second factor relates to some enduring and seemingly incorrigible flaws in most Western reporting and analysis. One of them is the tendency to personalize issues, whereby “Putin” is used as a synonym for the whole Russian state, and “Navalny” is now being presented as a synonym for the entire, enormously disparate Russian opposition. The merest glance at the groups represented at the pro-Navalny demonstrations reveals that together with genuine liberal democrats, there are also numerous Communists and extreme nationalists whose anti-Western positions are much more extreme and reckless than those of Putin himself.

radical move but with the DEMs in charge in the USA, might become necessary.

DEMs = Reddit and Twitter & Facebook bannings etc.

Freedom of speech my ass.

Russia has more freedom of speech than the USA at present.
