Not even cherry picking here - Thailand just kicked out a bunch of Western expats, it is said to please China. Some have been living there for over a dozen years there. Last I heard you arent even allowed to buy land there. people are free to challenge their govt from all sides, every side. Quote

I mean its no small sum of money. Some countries' GDPs dont amount to $18 billion sure. I'm more interested why white nationalist gangs and police nexus is not written about in NYT when its as clear as day in cities like Portland. you don't see me complaining about it. So I was just curious why you think you are unbiased. Quote

Also those documents have probably gone through multiple rounds of sanitization before release. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitization_(classified_information) Also nice attempt at gaslighting here but no - the issue in the vid is very much current & of vital importance to the safety and security of the nation. Someone a while ago said Indians are a naive bunch. Didnt think much of it. I had no clue that just beneath the surface of news events even educated folks had a very deficient understanding of said events and the forces behind them. I was saying this the other day in another thread. Even supposed analysts are opining on matters that they have very little expertise in or comprehension of. Most of it is partisan. A selection of such talking points may appeal to some while another selection may appeal to another clique. ( Video below is a case in point ) We have to beyond these cliques, even in this post-truth world. So in the interest of enlightenment, I wish you share viewpoints that have some grounding in truth. Citations, primary sources, thoroughgoing scholarship with high standards are things we should aim for. Quote
