Which news' source are you seeing this?     

Ap, nyt, npr, cnn, nbc, huffpost, washington post, fox, bbc, etc.

Western news are blind to human rights violations by countries with pro-west government like Colombia and Israel.

Israel is currently stealing land, doing force expulsions on muslims, locking children in detention facilities, using excessive violent force on protesters and enforcing apartheid againts its Muslim citizens while at the same time conducting assasinations against foreign countries like Iran, violating foreign territories by flying warplanes in Lebanon and bombing sovereign states like Syria.

Today is May 9, 27 million soviet citizens, mostly Russians died fighting the nazis. While Russia is celebrating their victory rightfully with a military parade, neighboring US and EU-backed Ukraine celebrated with a parade honoring nazi soldiers. 

I dont see nothing of this but with the Holomodor.........they wont remember soviets too well.

They are not from Xinjiang or named Nalvany, so who cares?

Not sure about other places, but online I mostly see Israel being synonymous with aggression. Quite a lot of people care (at least it gets a shitload more attention in the online world here than something like the horrific situation in Xinjiang).

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
