It does not mention if India is selling off this oil to other nations or if India just keeps it.

Russian crude made up a record 44% of India’s overall imports last month, rising to a record 2.07 million barrels per day (bpd), 4.2% higher than in June and 12% more than a year ago, data on Indian shipments from trade and industry sources showed.

Indian refiners have been gorging on Russian oil sold at discounts after Western nations imposed sanctions against Moscow and curtailed their energy purchases in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Iraq continued to be the second-largest oil supplier to India last month, followed by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Read rule 1.

This will most likely get removed as well.

I agree, but that should not stop people from calling out and protesting our governments and owner-class media.

Many independent journalists continue to do real journalism while they continue to be smeared, and some are even jailed.

Stay hopeful and continue to fight for a better future!

Yes.

A push for censorship of the leaks and for not censoring Telegram as the government wanted.

Again…

Interesting.

edit: improved format a bit

Owner-class media bias/fact check does not see it as “Low Quality Source” though, so they are more false reports to continue censorship.

Interesting! Thanks for expanding on your thoughts a bit!

No Doubt is a great band.

As an American

I add that due to encounters with non-Americans.

We are strangers on the internet; feel free to think what you will, I will not try to force it on you, hahaha.

More forever wars.

Quick search:

However, the weapons are not expected to get to Israel anytime soon, they are contracts that will take years to fulfill. Much of what is being sold is to help Israel increase its military capability in the long term, the earliest systems being delivered under the contract aren’t expected until the 2026 timeframe.

rebranding oligarchy

How? The billionaires and corporations own the most important resources while having great influence over our elections and politicians.

We are only a republic or a “democracy” in our dreams, but in reality, we are also already a fascist country with our police state.

Not to mention the Patriot Act and the many more policies that follow.

The USA PATRIOT Act was a landmark Act of the United States Congress, signed into law by President George W. Bush.

As an American, I know about our regime-change wars and about our military leaks, including some of our real civilian causalities in our forever wars.

Not to mention our civil rights activists keep dying, as well as other information about the three letter agencies.

I try to avoid races to the bottom, especially when comparing citizen deaths in the US and Russia.

It will not make any nation more popular.

That would be a sideways move.

Changing from one oligarchy to another oligarchy.

Well, if you become a whistleblower or if you are a journalist that the west wants to arrest, or get rid of, that might be your best bet.

Edward Snowden is alive and kicking.

Ah, but that seems like a race to the bottom.

As an American:

I prefer to compare the best of society, not the worst, so that we may work towards improving our society instead of being happy with the status quo.

We are funding these wars and the mass murder of the working class with the push for more proxy wars and our constant interference in elections in foreign countries.

History has shown that our actions result in civil wars, famine, and mass migration in these regions.

We must stay hopeful while doing our best to build a better society for the future.

Are you holding ‘Option’ down when it boots? So as to access the GNU GRUB menu?

• 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!
