All the Twitter accounts I'd ever want to follow have fairly infrequent status updates so I just add them to my RSS reader and follow them that way instead of having to interact with Twitter's website or application in any way.
>and while your average syrian immigrant gets 1500euros
That's nowhere close to reality.
Firstly, an "immigrant" will not get anything. They will get deported if they're not deemed a refugee. Most asylum seekers actually don't get asylum.
Secondly, if they end up getting refugee status/asylum, then they will receive about 300-400 euros a month (that's somewhere between 330 to 440 USD a month for the international crowd in here).
>What about the millions of eastern / central europeans
Have you forgotten about the Yugoslav wars? About half a million of refugees went to Western Europe (mostly Germany and Sweden) in just a couple of years.
No. My country was created by the democratic independence referendum of 1991, in accordance with Yugoslavia's constitution.
Altho sadly, after the declaration of independence and its international acceptance, a guy named Milosevic who committed coup d'etats in Montenegro, Kosovo, Vojvodina and attempted a coup d'etat in Slovenia decided that he disagreed with our independence and started a bloody war.
Countries of Eastern Europe are willingly joining NATO because they don't want to be bullied by a certain country in the east.
My country joined NATO because, altho not under direct threat from Russia, Russia supported our enemy (going as far as sending special forces to work undercover) in a very recent conflict and as such I couldn't give a shit if Russia feels that their imperialism is threatened by my security.
No one in NATO has to force any country into joining NATO. Russia's doing it on its won.
>it counts any unknown males killed in the strike as enemy. It doesn't use that assumption to do the strike.
Imagine for a moment that someone (be it some foreign agency, US police, army or whoever) did the same in America, to American citizens. Would you be outraged by your explanation?
"Hey, it's not like they're targetting them specifically. They're just deciding that they were all enemy combatants post-factum."
Here's a screenshot of the VK account where their (now former) commander and defense minister (and allegedly "ex" FSB member) claimed the downing of a Ukrainian plane, later the content was deleted:
Russian/rebel social media also played a role in all this, in a way that's not mentioned in this article.
There are some official and close-to-official social media accounts that are used by the Russian rebels to announce progress (Twitter, Facebook, VK) usually straight from the mouths of commanders and higher ups.
When MH-17 was downed they boasted about shooting down a Ukrainian plane only to find themselves quickly deleting all mention of it several hours later.
Those same accounts also boasted about acquiring a Buk missile launcher weeks earlier, but those status updates were also deleted.
>It's not about territory control, it's about industry control.
He's talking about application of laws in foreign territories. Naturally, for the benefit of US and its own industry. How is that substantially different from what you're saying?
He has been CEO since 2007, before any of the VW models with defeat devices were introduced.
Some of the German analysts and experts who are knowledgeable about the industry itself have said that there is not even the slightest chance that he didn't know this.
