объяснили разницу

В МОК объяснили разницу между отстранением России и ситуацией с Израилем - там ссылка в тексте на заявление MOC по-норвежски (по-норвежски, Карл!)

не без усилий нашел английский текст IOC threatens ‘swift action’ for discriminating against Israeli athletes. Russia says that’s not fair. объясняют, что ЭтоДругое

на эту тему местами забавное и познавательное обсуждение в жж, лучшее там от одного rus4:

Всё справедливо. Спорт вне политики. Евреи могут поддерживать Израиль. Арабы могут поддерживать Палестину. Украинцы могут поддерживать Украину. Русские могут поддерживать хоть Израиль, хоть Палестину, хоть Украину.

on your doorstep

"It sends a message -- intended or not: we can park 100-odd nuclear warheads on your doorstep and you won't even know it or be able to do much about it. And the reverse isn't true and won't be for a good while," said Thomas Shugart, a former US Navy submarine captain and now an analyst at the Center for a New American Security. -- One of the US Navy's most powerful weapons makes a rare appearance in Guam

Weaponizing Migrants

Belarus Is Weaponizing Migrants Using Putin’s Playbook. Europe Must Legally Fight Back. - здесь нужно отметить простое хорошее слово Legally

а что до Putin’s Playbook - в статье пишут, что

In 2016, the E.U. accused Russia of facilitating growing migration flows along an “Arctic Route” into Finland in retaliation for economic sanctions that the E.U. imposed on Russia because of its illegal military actions in Ukraine.
но тут стоит вспомнить Turkey weaponizes refugees against Europe - это год назад

bomb Stockholm



source

еще не настало время для гуманитарной интервенции? bomb Stockholm anyone?

интересно, какова была бы реакция международной общественности, если бы кремлевские власти затеяли такой эксперимент.

Cuomo expressed concern

Trump suggested on Sunday that hospitals have been hoarding ventilators and that something more nefarious may be afoot when it comes to their mask supplies. - это NY Mag буквально час назад, и WaPo еще раньше отметились.

однако даже msn.com, которых невозможно заподозрить в симпатиях к Трампу, в статье на ту же тему пишет: Earlier this month, Cuomo expressed concern that face masks and other medical equipment were being stolen from hospitals in the state.

nobody noticed Cuomo remarks earlier this month though...

punish ICC

John Bolton vows to punish ICC after court announces probe of alleged US war crimes in Afghanistan

sure, only Serbs can be subject to ICC. ok, maybe Russians in the future. but not the Americans, are you crazy?

Which reminds me of this passage from Graham Greene’s Our Man in Havana, where Captain Segura explains who can and can’t be tortured:
‘Did you torture him?’
Captain Segura laughed. ‘No. He doesn’t belong to the torturable class.’

suggestive pose


“Thérèse Dreaming” (1938) by the painter known as Balthus.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art [героически - вс] will not remove a controversial painting by the French painter known as Balthus from public display. - nyt

The painting, entitled “Thérèse Dreaming” (1938), depicts a young girl in a suggestive pose that leaves her underwear visible.

An online petition containing over 8,000 signatures on Monday urged the museum to rethink its decision to include the painting in its offerings.

“Given the current climate around sexual assault and allegations that become more public each day, in showcasing this work for the masses, The Met is romanticizing voyeurism and the objectification of children,” it reads

пьяные мальчики в Британии

Forensics 'manipulation': 10,000 cases in England and Wales reviewed: Policing chiefs say confidence in the criminal justice system has been rocked by the alleged manipulation of data at a forensics laboratory that has led to the review of 10,000 cases across England and Wales.

Police said so far two cases involving road deaths had been referred to the court of appeal. Around 50 cases of drug-driving have already been discontinued.

golan crimea

During her trip in August, the Israeli government invited Patel to visit the Golan Heights, which was captured from neighboring Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War and has been settled by Israelis.

Britain, alongside most of the international community, considers the Golan occupied territory. Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will retain full control of the high plateau forever and will never return the region to Syria.

- British official quits over talks with Israeli officials

Netanyahu has vowed - крымнаш, в общем

текст в mercurynews.com исключительно осторожный, но кое-что можно понять:
Patel said she was investigating ways for Britain to support Israeli efforts to treat Syrians wounded in the civil war. They are taken across the border by army medics serving in the Israel Defense Forces and treated – at Israeli taxpayer expense – in Israeli hospitals.

at Israeli taxpayer expense - как трогательно

везде кроме mercurynews.com - еще большая невнятица

но в Google News по словам golan crimea находится, в частности, America, Crimea and the Dangers of Hypocrisy, там есть про Golan Heights все, што надо. но это, конечно, антисемитизм в чистом виде.

вот Independent честно признается: Priti Patel ‘visited Israeli military hospital in illegally occupied Golan Heights’

и, наконец, The Times вносит еще бо́льшую ясность:  Priti Patel sought cash for Golan Heights hospital treating Syrian jihadists

not a terrorist

Martin McGuinness was "not a terrorist" but a "freedom fighter", Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has claimed. - bbc

там же далее по тексту President Clinton, who was central to the Good Friday Agreement peace negotiations, told mourners he "came to treasure every encounter" with Mr McGuinness.

но пока никто не говорит ничего такого про Осаму

впрочем JFK diary calls Hitler 'stuff of legends', так что, как говорится, дайте только срок

misreporting

Who supplies the news? - Patrick Cockburn on misreporting in Syria and Iraq in LRB

достаточно прочесть одну фразу в начале последнего абзаца: There are many similarities between the sieges of Mosul and East Aleppo, but they were reported very differently.

похоже, свежий ветерок подул из Вашингтона.
