Wow, that sounds pretty damning. If they have evidence of illegal arms sales, they may be on to something after all. I'll just read further in the original article here to find the evidence and...got it:

Try?
Catch-22: use information from bulgarianmilitary.com to show the website is fake news; but if the website is fake news, it's information is unreliable. Ergo, the website is not fake news.

No, it really isn't. That's like, step one of verifying information from news media. First check to see if the body of the article contradicts or otherwise nullifies the claims in the headline.
In any event, I wasn't "trying to show the bulgarianmilitary.com website is fake news". I was simply cursorily reading the article you cited and found these admissions right there in the text

Yes thats a good description of how it works. Its been called the Jekyl and Hyde news network.
They do reasonable news reporting during the day followed by obnoxious right wing commentators after 7.30pm. That guy was one of the daytime journos.

Fair enough, but I've seen a lot of similar information. Here's a report from RT who actually made contact with one of the sellers, though they didn't finish the transaction.

1. NATO expansion too close to its borders 2. Mistreatment of ethnic Russians in Donbas 3. Recognition of Crimea and the Independence of Donbas (both of which happened in 2014) 4. Ukraine's unwillingness to discuss any of the above

@ CHeifM4sterDiezL Different scenarios present a number of options. A disagreeable course of action may be taken to prevent something much worse. And that may be for all parties concerned.

Yes the karaoke post's were a good laugh, christopera has a great sense of humour.
I don't think you're being overly racist, Chinese drivers do have a bad reputation. Saying that, I found it quite challenging driving in Vancouver so maybe I shouldn't criticise the Chinese! There's no way I'd drive in Thailand either, it's organised chaos.
Whilst I don't agree with your posts 100% I've enjoyed reading them and think your English is pretty good. Keep posting

I'd bet so. there are signals in this direction in other industries like electronics and textile. Not saying they will, but that they will eventually be able to. ATM i think they have the priority to satisfy a growing inner request for goods that need to be cheap. Textile/apparel industry is a good example of that: less than 20 yrs ago Chineese products were synonimous of bad imitation and shitty quality. Many Italian fashion industries went there to exploit low salaries, but bringing there good raw materials and designers. Today most of Italian top products are produced in China but labels, who are put on the clothes here to make them legally made in Italy. In the meanwhile a lot of chinese 'fake' became undistinguishable from the original and I also bet they made their own brand of good quality products. If they'll have interest and will, they'll eventually do the same with cars. I think the real question here is 'where will the car market go?'

If one of the Russians main concerns is Nato expansion, I expect a response to Finland (and Sweden) attempting to join. Otherwise it just looks like Russia is attacking whoever they can find an excuse to.

If they can approach a Japan-like quality to products in general, whether cars or not, they will be pretty much unstoppable. They have a huge labor force of workers, that are Chinese workers. I can't speak for all Western labor markets, but I would bet on their workers over ours.

Wars are always about territory. I never believed any other explanation for this war. Ukraine wasn't on the verge of joining NATO. They probably wanted to, but we were cautious about that kind of friction. So now they're going to have all of Scandanavia in NATO, and Western Europe and other allies upping their defense budgets significantly. Russia does gain some affinity with countries who are anti-U.S., but I don't see them getting a net advantage on cost-benefits.

I went to the University of Illinois for 11 years. it's usually top four in engineering, and filled with Chinese grad students. Other than I can't understand my T.A., driving was a big complaint.

True, but will the West come away with a net advantage on cost-benefits for keeping the war going?
Ukraine just announced they're going to need another $750 billion to cover reconstruction.
Plus, all the Western companies that are now struggling as a result of the sanctions.
