- Recipe for disaster: BBC adds politics & history to borscht and serves it up to add more bitterness to Russia-Ukraine relations
Borscht has been a popular soup across Europe for centuries. Now it’s also a political weapon, and, if nationalism makes sense in the context of what we eat, it’s ironic that a blood coloured soup is making people’s blood boil. - Trump unchained: How the ‘God-Emperor’ is ending American Empire with Syria gambitUS President Donald Trump’s decision to pull US troops out of Syria is drawing fire from Democrats, media and some in his own party as well.

- Zuckerberg lays out grand vision of Facebook-fueled utopia – too bad it bears no resemblance to the platform he's actually builtFacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave an impassioned (for him) speech defending his platform as a tool of empowerment with the potential to give everyone in society a voice.

- Catalonia ‘separatists’ bad, HK ‘pro-democracy protesters’ good: Orwell’s 1984 becomes user’s manual for Western ‘free media’When supporters of Catalan leaders jailed for organizing a democratic vote advance on Barcelona airport, media make a fuss over ‘separatists’ causing chaos.
