Pretty good tbh. I was torn between Zorin, PopOS and Mint and settled Zorin because it also syncs nice with Graphene/Android via the App. You can choose between Mac, Windows and other type of Desktop looks and don’t need an Terminal if you don’t want to
For those that seek an African perspective on the matter:
Sovereign countries can’t choose their allies? Really? When long-time neutral countries have decided that not even being neutral will protect them anymore from invasion, your answer is that they should be invaded?
History started only in the 2000s for you. I understand.
You don’t care about the invaded people.
Putting just randomly invading Ukraine. No interests, no security concerns, no geopolitics involved, am I right?
Oh so you don’t care about the people then, got it.
Oh so you don’t care about Israelis, just letting the Palestinians take hostages, got it.
Russian military bases are visible on google maps

I guess this building was also seen on Google maps
Ukrainian troops have been training in nato countries since close to the beginning of the war
It’s one thing to train and supply a force, it’s another man that supply
The NATO long range missiles are dependent on (NATO) satalite intelligence, meaning the west provides targets to Ukraine. Also apparently the NATO provided systems take a while to learn, so NATO personell has to be mounting them. How this is not considered a direct involvement of NATO and a major escalation is beyond me. Fucken libs are gonna get everyone killed, just to make a nice dividend on their defense stock
Can you explain why supporting US interests in the middle east is bad (among others arms sales in “Israel”), but supporting US interests in Ukraine (arms sales, privatization) is good somehow?
Free Palestine, Fuck NATO.
NATO expansion
gulag
modern day Russia
Doesn’t understand the difference between a Russian legal term (SMO) and a general military strategy
You seem severely confused. Are you ok?
occupying large parts of Russia
Good one lol
Western chauvinism at display
I hope you read the fine print of your article
Along with the usual mix of government mismanagement and corruption are two unexpected and devastating events: the war in Ukraine, which has sent prices of grain and oil soaring, and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to raise interest rates 10 times in a row, the latest this month. That has made variable rate loans to countries suddenly much more expensive.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement to the AP, disputed the notion that China is an unforgiving lender and echoed previous statements putting the blame on the Federal Reserve. It said that if it is to accede to IMF and World Bank demands to forgive a portion of its loans, so should those multilateral lenders, which it views as U.S. proxies
…
China argues it has offered relief in the form of extended loan maturities and emergency loans, and as the biggest contributor to a program to temporarily suspend interest payments during the coronavirus pandemic. It also says it has forgiven 23 no-interest loans to African countries, though AidData’s Parks said such loans are mostly from two decades ago and amount to less than 5% of the total it has lent.
…
In high-level talks in Washington last month, China was considering dropping its demand that the IMF and World Bank forgive loans if the two lenders would make commitments to offer grants and other help to troubled countries, according to various news reports.
…
On this point, experts who have studied the issue in detail have sided with Beijing. Chinese lending has come from dozens of banks on the mainland and is far too haphazard and sloppy to be coordinated from the top.
Some poor countries struggling to repay China now find themselves stuck in a kind of loan limbo: China won’t budge in taking losses, and the IMF won’t offer low-interest loans if the money is just going to pay interest on Chinese debt.
Basically Bejing is asked to swallow the debt when Washington increases interest rates. Its also a lot more unreasonable when private and multilateral debts is a much larger part of Africa’s debt pie than bilateral debt with China is
I think it is a mistake to assume this article reflects the position of the New York Times because they chose to run it.
It may not reflect the position of the NYT, but does reflect their views in some regard. You don’t think they’d publish a guest essay portraying Stalin in any light other then a negative one?
Which had to pass the nyt editorial board.
Thank you for your hard investigation on Wikipedia and cautioning us to read oriental news with skepticism! I might’ve believed China to have a strong economy by reading CCP propaganda like this
I have you tagged as “shit lib and running for imperialism”, it tracks that you have the same view as the US state department.
China is one of the few countries deploying UHV transmission lines to minimize the loss Brazil has a UHV grid too

It was you that initially “corrected” the headline
That’s why you always read the reports from all perspectives to fill in the gaps. You literally discount the “our freedom fighters” vs. “Their terrorists” speak yourself, instead of your convenient solution of appealing to mbfc (appeal to authority)
It would be great if you actually lived by your own words and engaged with the topic at hand and not lazily cite mbfc.
