Exactly. 0 consideration that the media may be constructing narratives and feeding them to us, instead of being objective.

And, India needs cheap oil and gas to make fertilizers to feed its population.

You are free and rich enough to do this, be my guest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD_6L_ktkM8

Not everyone shares those sentiments -- and that's all they are, just sentiments.

And, why hasn't the EU shut off all oil and gas purchases from Russia immediately?

Why should a poor country support this sanctions regime and then witness massive internal disruption?

Most of the countries and populations of the world have in fact NOT imposed sanctions.

TWN, SK, and JPN were all authoritarian when industrializing. Similar with US too, to be honest.

> India received Lawrow recently, he is not allowed in any EU country.

And? Your point? Speaking to diplomats is suddenly taboo?

> India is not dependent on Russian oil

No. But, it is dependent on oil and gas being cheap enough to make basic inputs with. It is a region and country on the brink of poverty in many ways. What did you expect?

Wow. The manufactured consent generating machine is still working as expected.

Thanks for this info.

I wish they did offer Cloudless in their regular version.

Thanks.

Does Rust support it?

Does this SOCKS5 tunnel support UDP?

What about UDP?
warner_of_doom··on RDP Clients for Debian: An incomplete review
Can it be run independently OR does it depend on Jump Desktop's servers as a connection mediator?
warner_of_doom··on BiglyBT is a feature filled, open source, ad-free, BitTorrent client
qbittorrent-nox-static (go with 4.3.9 for now, 4.4.1 still has a memory leak) is the way to go, IMO, on a linux server.

Funny. NoMachine is exactly what I use right now. Decent functionality. Reputable company. Etc.

But, RDP's bandwidth efficiency on Windows is unbeatable AFAIK. I wish the Linux and macOS world had something like that.

What's a good RDP Server on Linux?

China, yes.

India, no.

Most of the water entrapment areas of India are within India's borders.

And, the rest come from the Himalayas, where it isn't easy to divert the flows, and most of those mountains are under Indian control. See: https://www.thetibetpost.com/en/features/44-environment-and-...

The real threat is China launching attacks from Tibet, against India.

Why? Because much of Chinese trade goes through the Indian Ocean, where India has negative control.

So, it is easy to see China getting wary of India and launching a territorial war from Tibet, in order to gain dominance over India. And, of course, Pakistan would join in.

Where in that does he deny it? LOL. Agenda much?

> Is it too radical to assume that Ukrainians were acting out of self interest?

Zelenskyy ran on a platform of peace with Russia and neutrality vis-a-vis Russia and the West.

What changed?

The puppet-masters pulled strings or he was lying all along.

> It's possible that history will play out in a similar way - Putin thought taking Ukraine would be easy but loses that and then loses power at home and ends up replaced. Perhaps by a normal democracy, looking on the optimistic side.

This usually doesn't work. We've tried this before, believe it or not.

> Which doesn't really make sense with a democratically elected jewish former comedian being president. (thats from https://www.rt.com/russia/551294-kremlin-goal-ukraine-offens...)

Is racism in America gone because we had a black POTUS?

Zelenskyy is backed by an oligarch who funds right-wing neo-fascist groups.

Dig deeper.

Ground-based hypersonics and right-wing neo-fascist terrorist groups right on your border are not threat you can respond to quickly enough.

Dude. This is just not true. He didn't deny genocide. There are many reasons not to like Chomsky. I don't like him as of late. But, genocide-denial isn't one of them.

warner_of_doom··on Why John Mearsheimer Blames the U.S. for the Crisis in Ukraine
Yes, I agree. Russia doesn't have an inherent right to a sphere of influence. But, it is also a principle in international relations that one nation-state should not increase its security at the expense of another. This situation is reminiscent of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
warner_of_doom··on Why John Mearsheimer Blames the U.S. for the Crisis in Ukraine
Ukraine is far from a democracy. Far from it. Look deeper than this. This isn't a Chamberlain moment.

Do you realize just how fundamentally undemocratic and disenfranchising the 2014 putsch was in the short and long term?
