The 2004 International Court of Justice decision has no bearing on the Gaza Strip and Israel's or any occupying country's right to self-defense. -
“…nuclear arms control is a special responsibility of the U.S. and Russia.”

Contrary to rewriting World War II history, Canada’s leadership expressed embarrassment, apologized and took appropriate steps to rectify the incident with the Nazi veteran. Russia's intervention in Ukraine is not a special operation but a war aimed at bringing Ukraine under Moscow’s control. -

“To say they [Chinese press outlets and social media users] ‘made up or spread disinformation’ is completely unfounded. If anyone was ‘making up or spreading disinformation’, it would be The New York Times, not them.”

“We’re not [punishing] anyone at all. Who are we [punishing]? This [foreign agent] law has been in force since 1937, I think, or 1938 in the USA, ours is almost a copy, only it’s much more liberal.”
The Russian government has been using the “foreign agent” law as an effective tool for public disrepute and criminal persecution of dissent, including in suppressing press freedom.
