12·2 months agoAmid a growing partnership between China and Russia, Mandarin has been growing in popularity across Russia as a foreign language of choice, a trend Putin said was due to developing contacts across economics, politics and society.
Putin, who speaks fluent German but has also taken lessons to improve his English, said that pupils should not forget the importance of English.
Russian, English, Tatar, German and Chechen are the most widely spoken languages in Russia, according to the 2022 census. While Mandarin is spoken far less, it has been growing swiftly in popularity in recent years as a foreign language.
English is the world’s most spoken language with about 1.5 billion speakers, followed by Mandarin Chinese with about 1.1 billion speakers, and then Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, French, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian and Urdu, according to Ethnologue, a language research centre.
TIL entertainment personality wrestler continues his persona that he is famous for and goes viral for controversial commentary again while advertising his new product.
Hogan, an ardent Donald Trump supporter, made the comments on Monday night at the Thirsty Cowboy bar in Medina, Ohio, while promoting his new beer, TMZ reports.
“Want me to body-slam somebody? You want me to body-slam Kamala Harris?” he asked the roaring crowd, as seen in a video obtained by TMZ. “I said, ‘Do you want me to body-slam Kamala Harris?’”
“You want me to drop a leg on Kamala?” he asked.
“Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?” he asked.
“I am going to get heat for that one, brother. That was not me. That was the beers talking,” he claimed to the crowd.
In 2015, Hogan was abruptly fired from World Wrestling Entertainment after tapes surfaced of him repeatedly using a racial slur in 2007. Hogan eventually apologized and was reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018, BBC News reports.[1]

- Noob Guide to Installing Linux Mint on 2014 MacBook Air [07:47 | FEB 05 2024 | jailbrayk] https://youtu.be/x4nbafBOB4Y
This process should work on any Intel Mac pre 2018 (without T2 security chip & secure boot). Thanks for the suggestion to install Linux on this old MacBook Air! It has brought new life to this old computer and I am really enjoying getting to know Linux, as I have never really used Linux in this capacity. Let me know if you would like a more in depth video of how I set up my Linux environment!
It was known by people that read and listen to independent journalists. Good to see main stream media finally talking about this possibility.
Here are some short videos where it is mentioned:
- Hostage families accuse Israeli army of killing loved ones [06:22 | JAN 30 24 | The Grayzone] https://youtu.be/h9iFiuqkmbE
- Prof Mearsheimer: IDF killed a ‘good number of Israelis’ on October 7 [01:33 | DEC 18 23 | Middle East Eye] https://youtu.be/iZlQOjq4EvM
The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss new allegations by family members of Israelis held in Gaza that the Israeli military is deliberately killing their loved ones in order to prevent a prisoner swap and prolong the war.
Renowned scholar Professor John Mearsheimer recently asserted that on October 7th, it was the Israeli regime, not Hamas, responsible for the deaths of many Israelis. He also delves into their official “Hannibal doctrine,” which involves the controversial practice of killing their own people.
This was not the first order given by the division with the intent of foiling kidnapping even at the expense of the lives of the kidnapped, a procedure known in the army as the “Hannibal procedure.”
This is the procedure when an enemy invades Israeli territory, upon which a division commander can assume extraordinary authority, including the employment of heavy fire inside Israeli territory, in order to block an enemy raid.
“Everyone was shocked by the number of terrorists who had penetrated the base. Even in our nightmares, we didn’t have plans for such an attack. No one had a clue about the number of people kidnapped or where army forces were. There was crazy hysteria, with decisions made without any verified information,” he continued.
“Everyone knew by then that such vehicles could be carrying kidnapped civilians or soldiers,” a source in Southern Command told Haaretz. “There was no case in which a vehicle carrying kidnapped people was knowingly attacked, but you couldn’t really know if there were any such people in a vehicle. I can’t say there was a clear instruction, but everyone knew what it meant to not let any vehicles return to Gaza.”
Over all the months that have passed, the IDF has refused to say whether this procedure was employed against civilians who had been taken hostage. It now seems that even if the answer is positive, the question may have been only a partial one. The actions of Hiram may have simply been congruent with the way the IDF operated that day.
Keep fighting the good fight, OP!
Props, keep up the good work!
I will try and do the same, hahaha
Awesome!
Thanks for the additional information, about INSTC!
New of BRICS and going away from petrodollar, it will be in the history books, if allowed.
Interesting news keeps coming out.
India has been ramping up purchases of both coking and thermal coal from Russia since Moscow redirected exports from EU countries and offered substantial discounts to Asian buyers. Despite its efforts to expand renewable energy projects, India continues to rely heavily on coal as its primary source of power generation. Huge increase in Russian coal exports to India
Consulting firm Yakov and Partners (formerly McKinsey Russia) has projected that India will surpass China as the top buyer of Russian coal within the next decade.
Moscow is seeking to both ensure interconnectivity throughout the INSTC and launch regular freight shipping lines, President Vladimir Putin has said. The volume of goods shipped via the INSTC is expected to almost triple over the next seven years. The Russian leader has suggested establishing a logistics hub for the corridor on the African coast.
Nice!

- [16:08] - Introduction and interview with Jaz Brisack and Casey Moore, organizers of Starbucks stores and of Inside Organizer School (IOS)
In this week’s Economic Update, Professor Richard Wolff comments on US megabanks once again taking new off-the-books risks, Elon Musk endorsing right-wing undemocratic census proposals and Fossil Fuel industry executives bribe Trump with campaign donations. In addition, we highlight the many US and global labor unions and workers who have joined the movement in supporting of ending the Israeli military actions in Gaza.
Finally, we Interview with Jaz Brisack and Casey Moore, organizers of Starbucks stores and of Inside Organizer School (IOS), a new organization that trains workers how to unionize their workplaces.
The Inside Organizer School (IOS) is a unique program aimed at making inside organizers as effective as possible in motivating and mobilizing their co- workers. The IOS branches off from traditional union organizer training which addresses staff development, focusing its curriculum instead on developing inside organizers who organize from within the workplace.
Chinese President Xi Jinping is on his first trip to Europe in five years, which is likely to be dominated by Russia’s war in Ukraine as well as economic strains between Beijing and Brussels.
The first stop will be France, with Xi due to hold talks in Paris on May 6 with French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, before travelling south to the Pyrenees.
After that, he will travel to Serbia and Hungary, two countries that have maintained close ties with Russia despite its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
But the trip also comes amid a deteriorating global security climate, with the war in Ukraine now into its third year and at least 34,683 Palestinians killed in Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza.
In February, McDonald’s cited boycott campaigns in the Middle East, Indonesia and Malaysia for sales growing just 0.7 percent during the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with a 16.5 percent growth the previous year.
Yeah, not too sure why you would forcefully see it as a threat…
If you already see it and think of a country as an enemy (boogeyman) than anything people from that country or gov’t says would look like a threat or to be a scary statements…
At least that is how I see it…
I hope we shall continue to analyze our own way of thinking and talking about such topics!
And we will continue to support them 100% of the way, so as to keep the duopoly and the status quo of supporting genocides all over the world.
More forever wars where the working class continue to be killed off, while the owner-class and their lackeys rake in their profits and natural resources.
