The brain fog of war ‘We all know they’re Iranian, but the government won’t admit it,’ Russian arms expert blurts out on live TV — Meduza

Ruslan Pukhov, a pro-Kremlin Russian military expert appeared on a live “What Does This Mean” RBK TV show on October 19. Minutes before his appearance, the hosts Bogdana Prikhoda and Yury Tamantsev mentioned that the West is accusing Iran of supplying Russia with Shahed-136 and Mohajer drones. Pukhov then came on stage, greeted the hosts, and — without realizing that the mics were on — instructed them not to lean too much on the Iranian topic:

Let’s not rock the boat too much. I’m asking you, don’t — these Iranian things are just like the classic joke, “there’s an asshole but no such word,” yes? We all know they’re Iranian, but the government won’t admit it.

The hosts interrupted Pukhov, signaling that they were on air.

Rwanda refugees: life in a camp | openDemocracy

At the end of 2020, I flew from Rwanda to the EU, where I was offered asylum. From my experience, there is no clear democracy in Rwanda. The land is very clean but the people live in fear because the government keeps them under surveillance. You can’t criticise the way things are run, and if you try to, you will find that your voice is suppressed. Source: Rwanda refugees: life in a camp | openDemocracy

Review: La Tulipe Noire, and Surprises On How Reading Can Save Lives!!

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

    I found this book surprisingly good, and an excellent vindication of literacy, thanks to Librivox.   I almost didn’t bother with it because it seemed like a sappy romance at first, and about flowers!  And this particular reader, Ezwa from Belgium, is exquisite to listen to.

Boy was I wrong, and boy am I glad I listened to it just to practice my French!  Can’t go wrong with Alexandre Dumas, pere!!

Moi aussi, “je suis trop heureux.”
Quelle histoire. Du meurtre dès innocents, vol, imprisonment injustes, un peu comment Omar Sy d’Arsenne Lupin, d’allieurs , jusqu’au révélation de la vérité. C’était une histoire intéressante et aussi une qui donne de l’espoir au fin. Excellent lecture avec une excellente lectrice sur librivox.org.

I am also “very happy.”
What a story.  Innocent men murdered, theft, unjust imprisonments, a bit like Omar Sy’s Lupin, and then the truth revealed. …
