vendredi 28 juillet 2017 à 02:00

The head of the Boy Scouts of America apologized for the troll's politicization of his address to a meeting of scouts.

Wallenberg relatives sue Russia

vendredi 28 juillet 2017 à 02:00

The relatives of Raoul Wallenberg are suing Russia, demanding more information about his fate. The Soviet Union admitted imprisoning him and said that he died in prison of a heart attack at age 44.

To die of a heart attack that young is unusual. It seems unlikely that a political prisoner of the Soviet Union would become obese. So if he did die that way, it raises the suspicion that some kind of maltreatment caused the heart attack.

Britain global heating

vendredi 28 juillet 2017 à 02:00

In particular, just as cod are recovering in the North Sea, the heat is starting to chase them out.

State department hypocrisy

vendredi 28 juillet 2017 à 02:00

The State Department's Office of Global Criminal Justice is hypocritical because it turns a blind eye to human rights abuses by the US and its allies.

To close that office would be a step in the wrong direction. When an entity's bad actions don't match its good principles, which one should it change? The actions, of course. Dropping the principles eliminates the hypocrisy but in the way that makes the entity worse.

Senate further sanctions

vendredi 28 juillet 2017 à 02:00

The US Senate voted to impose additional sanctions on Russia and Iran, plus North Korea.

This may be a very bad idea.
