How many of those yes from Africa are dictatorships or nations that pay colonial tax to some Euro power or how many of them are blackmailed by USAID?

Instead of yapping a question why didn't you just go look up the "colonial tax" country map yourself and post it.

Noble heroes clearly, Russia should go extra hard.

Well they have just admitted to war crimes and it has now been documented the world over.

saw bbc telecast live from Moscow yesterday.
BBC is the biggest propaganda arm of the British.
So Russia is more democratic than uk. Proof of the pudding.

Its selective "freedom of speech" those of us living in Asia can identify the odious machinations of authoritarianism ten miles away, that is why were are quick on the uptake.

Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Kherson was under Russian soldiers' "complete control".

He said that the city's civilian infrastructure, essential facilities and transport were operating as usual and there were no shortages of food or essential goods.

Mr Konashenkov said talks between the Russian commanders, city administrations and regional authorities on how to maintain order in the city were underway on Wednesday (local time).

Russia's Defence Ministry said 498 Russian soldiers had died and another 1,597 had been wounded since the start of the invasion, the first time Moscow has given detailed figures on its casualties.

It said more than 2,870 Ukrainian soldiers and "nationalists" had been killed, Interfax news agency reported.

Well that's one aspect covered what about rest of the means you use to blackmail nations?

You were literally blackmailing Africans for humanitarian aid. If they pass pro LGBT laws. Imagine. You consider homosexuality and smearing your own sh!t all over yourself civilization?

Video of moving ‘corpse' in Ukraine is actually from climate change protest in Vienna

Many on social media assumed the video of a reporter in front of several bodies on a road was from Ukraine. One tweet said the Ukrainian 'PR disaster' was falling apart.

Dude, what Russian do is what Russian do. How does it related to what EU do? Also UK is NOT PART OF EU have not been since 2021 (The whole Brexit thing, ringing any belln?) ........And UK Ofcom is still deciding whether or not to ban RT.

Have it ever occur to you they need the license fee? Or anything from BBC to have them keep operating? Russia already banned DW by the way, which mean they are no qualm on banning EU Media.

SMH..........

A senior foreign correspondent at CBS News apologized Saturday after he said on air that the war in Ukraine can’t be compared to those in Iraq and Afghanistan — because the Eastern European nation is more “civilized.”
Correspondent Charlie D’Agata was reporting from Kyiv, Ukraine when he said Friday that Ukraine “isn’t a place, with all due respect, like Iraq or Afghanistan, that has seen conflict raging for decades.
“This is a relatively civilized, relatively European — I have to choose those words carefully, too — city, where you wouldn’t expect that or hope that it’s going to happen,” he continued.
D’Agata issued an apology on the broadcaster’s streaming network Saturday, after his comments went viral — racking up more than 1.5 million views on Twitter — and were swiftly condemned as racist and historically inaccurate.
“I spoke in a way I regret, and for that I’m sorry,” he said, adding that he was trying to convey that Ukraine hasn’t seen “this scale of war” in recent years, unlike other countries.

People on the internet were quick to point out that Iraq has long been called the “cradle of civilization” because ancient Mesopotamia — now Iraq — is where “civilization” as the West largely understands it emerged. And Ukraine, of course, is no stranger to war and conflict, with the Russian annexation of Crimea happening less than a decade ago.
Cornell professor Dr. Mostafa Minawi asked on Twitter why D’Agata thought it was permissible “to compare the value of peoples’ lives and who qualifies as ‘civilized.'”
“CBS News dropped the dog whistle for straight racism today,” Chicago Sun-Times reporter Nader Issa tweeted. “If that’s the version where he chooses his words carefully, was the alternative just going to be “these are civilized white people and not uncivilized brown people”
Laleh Khalili, a professor at Queen Mary University of London, echoed Issa’s sentiment.

“Oh yes, the deserving civilised victims and those uncivilised non-European savages undeserving of sympathy where war just “rages for decades” (never mind it is US and its allies starting the wars),” she tweeted in response to his comments. “Thanks @cbsnews for explicit laying it out.”

Viewers also were shocked that D’Agata bothered to say “with all due respect” on Friday given his words.
“He hears himself sounding racist, he acknowledges that he should be careful to hide the racism, but ultimately is unable or unwilling to actually stop the racism,” writer Head Amry tweeted.





D’Agata has been a reporter with the network for two decades.


Yes that fvcking redneck white trash known as Charlie D'Gata.

Someone should that racist pig that Iraq and Afghanistan were once centres of great knowledge and learning and it is the outsiders or people from the West who destroyed them

Why am I not surprised, I can't find the clip from 2021 Airlift where this wingnut was talking garbage about Afghans, at one point they had to cut to the weather or sports, I can't fully recall. As I keep saying, sometimes the mask falls off .
