Partizan fan Nikola Jovanović was seriously injured and lost his spleen when a group of people in black beat him in front of the Belgrade Arena after the EuroLeague match. "Vreme": It was most likely an ambush, probably because of something that Jovanović wrote on Twitter about Ratko Mladić. ⬇️

A great illustration of the way social media has essentially shredded society’s informational immune system: The USSR spent a fortune trying to spread conspiracy theories, without success because they couldn’t crack newsrooms. Today, you can reach the globe with a post that costs $20 to make.

I see Trump apologists getting apoplectic at this, which is pure childishness. The President of the USA openly and repeatedly threatened Canadian sovereignty and belittled Canadian independence. It would have been dereliction of duty if Carney did not consider this.

It's amazing how many Russian commentators clearly know their war is pointless, it is being fought for nothing, to serve no-one. But like this one, having acknowledged the fact the war is pointless, they then dismiss it and insist they must invent or implement some ideology which it could serve.
