I had to look this up because, as Anglophobic as I am, I figured there might be some kind of context or Swiftian satirical bluff I'm missing.

The article is from like 20 years ago, but it's absolutely as insane as the headline suggests.

yeah, pretty fucked up, makarenko had the children grinding lenses to micrometer precision, making cameras and the soviet unions most advanced electrical drills utilizing a child designed structure of labour division, including a team of child drafting techs, and what were the children of amerikkkans doing, making basic shit like cigarettes in an outhouse, shameful

yeah in those days before the internet and social media they preferred to just completely bury those kinds of stories so there'd be no need to defame the reporters (other than turning a blind eye when the CIA assassinates them.. err, i mean they commit suicide by shooting themselves twice in the head)

https://fair.org/article/big-papers-give-drug-story-small-play/

In fact, New York Times stories have consistently disparaged allegations of Contra drug-running. Three stories that ran over one week last month contained some variations on this theme from the July 20 edition:

Investigators, including reporters from major news organizations, have tried without success to find proof of … allegations that military supplies for the Contras may have been paid for with profits from drug trafficking.



Without validation by the elite press, crucial evidence of Contra drug involvement gets thrown away with yesterday’s newspaper, never entering public discourse. Yet this evidence when assembled, points to a pattern of widespread, officially tolerated drug trafficking that may reach the highest levels of the Contra hierarchy and into the US government.

The first US report linking Contras to drugs came in a Dec. 20, 1985, Associated Press (AP) dispatch by Robert Parry and Brian Barger. They wrote that US and Costa Rican law enforcement officials and American Contra supporters told them Nicaraguan rebels in Costa Rica were financing their war through cocaine smuggling. The story also cited a secret CIA report that the Contra army ARDE had used cocaine profits to buy $250,000 in arms.

Hard-hitting as it was, the story distributed by AP was considerably watered down from the reporters’ version. According to the September/October 1986 Columbia Journalism Review, AP editors omitted, at the US government’s request, allegations involving John Hull, an American rancher who was the CIA’s Contra coordinator in Costa Rica.

“Hull has enough problems right now,” a US official reportedly told AP.

Even in this form, the story almost didn’t run. Only the unauthorized release of the story on AP‘s Latin wires on December 16 forced AP to offer it to their English-language customers, according to the Columbia Journalism Review.

The occupying regime claims kids in Palestine are taught in school how to deploy truck bombs. Framing this headline as a question raises a more troubling one: are they being taught well enough

Lavrov is over 70 now and is showing his age a lot more than his colleagues and imo they need to send him off to the old diplomats' home before that bites the rest of them in the ass

like, some of the Lavrov's peers have said comparable things before, but Putin's biggest world-facing statement on the U.S. recently instead traced the country's problems to the legacy of AmeriKKKan slavery, because he still knows how to make hay while the sun shines.

the other thing to consider of course is that the Moscow Times, hated foe of the eXile clan, is still the Moscow Times, and has seamlessly transitioned from sucking Khodorkovsky's toes in the opinion section to slurping the delicate Nazi piglets of Alexey Navalny. Like the last thing I saw from them was an op-ed about how Navalny's incredibly unpopular in his home country and is seen as a sort of sad little pathological liar by most Russians, which the Moscow Times explained as the country shrinking, vampire-like, from the shining light of St. Hitler's holy teachings. So it is really rich that they are scare-quoting Lavrov muttering like a grumpy old cracker about BLM.
