Biden ‘knew of Ukrainian plan to attack Nord Stream’ three months before explosion by DerKrieger105 in worldnews

[–]green_flash 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're leaving out this part:

Officials in multiple countries confirmed that the intelligence summary posted on Discord accurately stated what the European service told the CIA. The Post agreed to withhold the name of the European country as well as some aspects of the suspected plan at the request of government officials, who said exposing the information would threaten sources and operations.

That sounds like thorough cross-verification on behalf of the Washington Post. Not sure what your concern is. If you consider the WaPo to be guilty of piss-poor sourcing on the regular, what journalists do you consider more reliable?

Officials in multiple countries confirmed that the intelligence summary posted on Discord accurately stated what the European service told the CIA.

According to the Washington Post, it was confirmed by officials from multiple countries that it's legit though. Just like the other stuff he leaked was legit - before some Russians blatantly fudged the numbers to match their narrative. He's a racist piece of shit for sure, but he didn't fabricate the stuff he leaked.

The European intelligence reporting was shared on the chat platform Discord, allegedly by Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira. The Washington Post obtained a copy from one of Teixeira’s online friends.

In a rare attempt to bolster China's yuan, a self-regulatory body overseen by the country's central bank has told major state-owned banks to lower dollar deposit interest rates, four people with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters by green_flash in worldnews

No, it was specifically the devaluation he was salty over. Because it was messing with his tariffs.

“Don’t forget, the head of the Fed in China is President Xi. He’s the president of China. ... He can do whatever he wants. They devalue, they loosen or you would just say they pump a lot of money into China, and it nullifies to an extent, not fully, it nullifies the tariffs,” Trump said.

"They devalue their currency. They have for years. It’s up to them at a tremendous competitive advantage, and we don’t have that advantage because we have a Fed that doesn’t lower interest rates. We have a Fed that raises interest rates the day before a bond issue goes out, so we have to pay more money,” said Trump.

No, it's the opposite of what Trump kept complaining about - without any evidence by the way.

Palestinian toddler shot by Israeli troops in West Bank dies of wounds by Lionel54321 in worldnews

[–]green_flash 293 points294 points  (0 children)

That's true, but it also was a somewhat unique case. Azaria was caught on video executing the disarmed terrorist in cold blood - by a Palestinian bystander, so there was undeniable evidence. Besides, he rejected an offer from the IDF for leniency and even accused the IDF of a criminal offense for making that offer. If he had complied with what the IDF requested, he would have walked free.

Nevertheless, he was still released early, after spending 9 months in jail.

Christian youth in Pakistan gets death sentence for sharing blasphemous content by Dry_Slice4531 in worldnews

[–]green_flash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jail is probably the safest place for him for now. Pakistan has not yet carried out any execution for blasphemy. But if you're accused of blasphemy, there's a risk a mob will hunt you down. Blasphemy accusations are often used for solving property disputes or settling other scores in Pakistan.

Navalny Supporters Rally in Russia, Worldwide on Jailed Kremlin Critic’s Birthday by green_flash in worldnews

[–]green_flash[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Of course in Russia those supporters were immediately arrested:

At least 90 people were detained across Russia for showing their support for Navalny on Sunday, including 53 people in Moscow and 12 people in St. Petersburg as well as protesters in more far-flung locations such as Barnaul, Yelabuga and the Samara region, the OVD-Info police monitoring group reported.

In Russia's fourth-largest city Yekaterinburg, activists spray-painted the slogan “Freedom to Navalny” on buildings. People also staged pickets in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk, the northern Russian city of Yoshkar-Ola and the southern city of Rostov-on-Don.
