Democrats thought Azov were white supremacist nazi terrorists in 2019, but now are all “Pray for Ukraine”. Never been there, but Russian style jail tattoos with swastikas on your nipples is quite a fashion statement.Typhoon wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 4:31 am
If memory serves, it was not right wing extremist that looted and burned US cities recently and committed numerous murders.
Yet these schmucks are "concerned" that some small battalion in Ukraine does not hold the correct political orientation as per parochial US norms.
Although this may change, the probability of being killed in downtown Kyiv is currently lower than that in Baltimore.

Opposition parties were able to secure 174 votes in the 342-member house in support of the no-confidence motion, the house speaker said, making it a majority vote.
There were just a few legislators of Mr Khan's ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party present for the process.
The vote means Mr Khan will no longer hold office and the country's lower house will now elect a new prime minister and government.
The Pakistani parliament's lower house will meet on Monday to vote for a new prime minister, the acting speaker said.

There were also signs he had lost the support of the military, analysts said.
“Pakistan became an independent state in 1947; but the freedom struggle begins again today against a foreign conspiracy of regime change,” Khan wrote
Like a demagogue, he reduced all of Pakistan’s problems to a single issue — corruption — and presented himself as the solution. In the form of ‘Naya Pakistan’ he promised a utopia that was both moral — the state of Madina — and material — Scandinavian countries.
His narrative contained a theory of change and a logical explanation of how Pakistan would change under his command. According to this theory, a bunch of politicians are responsible for the rot in Pakistani state and society, and it is their greed and corruption that is pulling us backwards.
In order to clean the Augean stables, we need an incorruptible leader at the top. Once such a leader is elected, a cascade effect will follow, cleaning up the system downwards. As soon as the system is cleared of corruption, Pakistan will start making tremendous progress.
But under Khan’s rule, the promised change did not happen. The very first ingredient of the promised change, end of corruption, failed to materialise as Pakistan’s position on the Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index constantly declined during the PTI’s government. Pakistan’s economy that was in a boom-bust cycle for decades, also turned bust-bust as no stabilisation happened after turning to the IMF.
Failing to deliver on his earlier promises, Khan started looking for a new narrative. He tried to work with the truncated version of his earlier narrative, focusing only on corruption of other politicians, without referring to the blessings that were to shower on Pakistan due to his honesty.
Since the time a no-confidence motion was launched against him, Khan has come up with a yet another narrative that links the democratic opposition against him with a conspiracy hatched by the US government to overthrow him. In his new narrative, only those who support him are patriotic citizens while everyone who opposes him is a traitor.
With his indomitable will, charisma and determination, Khan is a larger-than-life figure who made great achievements in the world of sports and philanthropy. In the political realm, however, many of the same qualities that served him well in sports turned into liabilities and he failed to leave a positive legacy in the country’s highest political office.
For his failure he may blame his hubris, his opportunism wrapped in moral garb, his narcissism, his single-minded pursuit of personal ambitions, his burning desire for vendetta, his flaws of intellect and his lack of experience.
Khan’s success in the forthcoming elections depends on the success of his new narrative. Like his earlier narratives, he has borrowed it from past military dictators and civilianised it. Will his new narrative succeed, while he bids adieu to the old one that became such a rage with a section of society and won him millions of followers?
In the narrow sense of narratology, the new narrative may be considered to be winning, as he has sucked both the media and the opposition into the discourse. A narrative wins not only through affirmation but also by denial, just by turning into a central political discourse. This may at least help him keep his core followers loyal to him, despite a lack of corroborating facts.

Iran already nuclear power since long time (Washington Post)
The 36-year-old crown prince ended up shouting at Mr. Sullivan after he raised the 2018 killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The prince told Mr. Sullivan he never wanted to discuss the matter again, said people familiar with the exchange.
And the U.S. could forget about its request to boost oil production, he told Mr. Sullivan.
