    is no more or less "predatory" than US. Suggest you all read Economic Hitman. China spends their peace dividend* on massive infrastructure projects that will help them while we prefer making and selling wars and weapons. *since unlike US they do not start wars of choice

    Italy is a major global economy and a great investment destination. Endorsing BRI lends legitimacy to China’s predatory approach to investment and will bring no benefits to the Italian people.

    Ignoring eyewitnesses to an event you are tasked with investigating is a pretty big deal. I know that that happened w because I watched them interviewed on video and then see that they are omitted from the report. Why?

    Some people forget that was a USB intrusion on an air-gapped network. returned the favor with the Saudi Aramco attack. US built that VZ hydro plant. If we or our opposition proxies are playing SCADA games in , it is a highly illegal, offensive act of war.

    Cyber attack? After the battle of the bands and Guiado’s demos failed, I’d say it’s possible. Neocons must be getting desperate.

    Because they willingly believed all the lies and so called “open-source” voodoo analysis done by the in-bred kids and other phonies who were aggressively pushing for US intervention in to save their jihadi penpals.

    Why are MSM so quiet about latest Report on Chemical Weapons? Ironically, their report proves that US, UK, France lied to public about WMD evidence (sounds familiar). Read this excellent breakdown of the facts... …

    I do not like what is going on in Venezuela,however, it amazes me how you are leading the charge on this humanitarian crisis yet you have remained quiet on the crisis in Puerto Rico.

    Because of what it is alleged Russia did, we will have a much freer and fairer DNC-led nomination process. If HRC had been successfully secretly coronated by Donna Brazile and Podesta, the rigged game would have continued. Now we may pick a visionary maverick like .

    We OWN Social Media. Crying about Russians buying a few anti-Hillary ads and picking at our socio-economic/racial scabs is so cry baby. And if they hacked the DNC and leaked to Wikileaks, it was good for transparency net-net. Why do you think they call it WikiLEAKS?

    A reminder that the US and its NATO allies have spent at least 200x what Russia has on manipulating social media

    Fake news from the NYT Real income in Russia has stagnated since 2014, sapping domestic support for foreign interventions like Putin’s campaign to prop up Assad. Real news from Opinion polls indicate that a majority of Russians support their country’s military campaign.

    As a sailor, I've had my ass kicked by women forever. Isabelle Autissier was an early hero of mine, as is Ellen MacArthur. taught me that it's not about what's between your legs, but what's between your ears, and ribs. Happy

    Just using the word "massive" belies The bias: "The opposition leader is planning a massive rally Saturday." The last "massive" demonstration had less than a thousand attendees. You can't get away with so much spinning today. People are awake and paying attention.

    The investigation was heinous The "attack" hasn't even conclusively been proven to have happened. Some strange cylinders appear emplaced. Another identical cylinder was found in a jihadi weapons storehouse. No proof what came from cylinders killed people.

    The March 1 Fact-Finding Mission report supports what the United States determined in our assessment of the attack in , Syria last April - the Assad regime is responsible for this heinous chemical weapons attack that killed & injured civilians.

    Was/is this (a) physical sabotage similar to illegally mining Nicaraguan harbors and blowing up fuel depots when Abrams was active before? (b) Stuxnet-style cyber attack (by Americans or Venezuelans?) or (c) legitimate, accidental blackout due to negligence/poor maintenance?
