Yemen conflict: US cuts arms sales to Saudi Arabia

It is one of the few sites with links to Russian government web sites. You know the official on record of Russian Government officials. As opposed to many unexceptional countries who use unofficial, not authorised to comment because of, or the usual redacted/"here one second and deleted the next" sites.

That's a fanciful description of a "state propaganda website" eh.

Robust discussion is allowed, but posters should stay on topic and refrain from personal attacks.

No problem for mod? Why to keep this caution?

Klondyke, a personal attack is where I headbutt you in the face and stick a red hot poker up your arse.

No-one likes a grass son.

Of course it is it is linked to the Government web sites where you can actually read and search easily. Useful to put the official report up rather than a hacks edited version.

...the ease of reading and searching is irrelevant if what you find is propaganda...unless, of course, the propaganda reinforces what you already believe to be true...sounds like RT is your echo chamber...

There is actually a scientific name for this: It's called Confirmation Bias.

Essentially it means they are Putinesque versions of Trumpanzees and will believe anything or interpret anything their hero does as being good, and characterise anything that contradicts that belief as lies.

OhOh is a big sufferer of this condition; Neo less so; Klondkye just lives in a little word of his own parroting them.

Thank you both for the analysis of my intellectual abilities. You appear to be suggesting that the Russian government reinforces my suggestions. Unfortunately they have their own brains and, unlike many who paste here , have far more extensive assets to determine their actions. I understand my special status here but to lay Russian actions solely on my head is exaggerating of even my special powers.

But keep idolising me if you must, I can take that and alo the insults , "water off a ducks back". I can also take the Kgs of AU The LORD kindly deposits for me on a regular basis, plus the SP from the UK.

As regards using search engines to obtain information one has to recognised that the results, offered to regular and searchers, are prioritised accordingly to suit it's own country's state funded and directed search engines preferences, the amount of money the advertisers pay and decisions not to include contrary links. As such there is ample opportunity to adjust the positions of the returns and make locating any possible reference, which may conflict with the above criteria, necessitating looking through many pages of false returns. Which is why going to the named, official spokesman's accredited web site is not only quicker but also is as some say, "from the horses mouth". No twisting of language and no biased interpretation of facts.

Use which search engines you like, post here what you like it doesn't alter the facts. I will continue to shoot holes in your biased, unsubstantiated fake news.

As for my persistence on posting here views which some might disagree with I will continue unless the blog owners suggest it isagainst their own intrests to allow free and varied postings. To date I have not received any such note. I will continue to be one of the few here, who offer information which possibly the majority consider idiotic.

I have strong shoulders to bear the weight and no signs, well less than Luigi, of dementia, as measured by MK's link to a diagnostics page.

It's an obvious sign of your lack of intellect that you can't tell the difference between "idolising" and "ridiculing".

I will continue to be one of the few here, who offer information which is idiotic.

FTFY.

Russian wheat output shocks markets

Russian wheat farmers have been partying this year, and the world market is likely to be nursing a hangover for two years, say analysts.

The massive size of the Russian wheat crop not only pushes their grain exports to the limit for this year but will leave huge stockpiles for the 2018-19 crop year.

“With a crop of this size, it just means that they’re going to be a market presence 365 days of the year,” said Neil Townsend, analyst with FarmLink Marketing Solutions.

Russia is stunning world markets with a crop estimated at 81 million tonnes, which is eight and a half million tonnes more than last year’s crop of 72.5 million, and part of a rising tide of Russian wheat production that began in 2013."

Sell it to Syria, I understand that quite a few are going hungry thanks to Vlad.

There is a large world of hungry people, not just Syria.

Yes but do Syria first. After all, it's all Vlad's fault.
