The big issue is that one group of refugees from an attempted Genocide is creating another group of refugees from their attempted Genocide.
All else is lies.
That's an outrageous lie. Israel defeated armies fifty times its size. If Israel was looking to create a genocide of Palestinian arabs, there wouldn't be any Palestinian arabs a long ago.
The White House takes suggestions, doesn't it? Someone should start a petition to treat Rick Rolling as a capital offense. Oh, and yeah, get OFF MY LAWN!! Damn dumb millennials.
That was me. Russian oligarch's are the "it" boys which maldives so attractive to Russians with money. And once again. They became oligarchs before Putin tightened the screws. The fact that they survived and thrived in the environment in which murder and fraud were par for the course of doing business should tell you that they are prepared for almost any contingency. Their wealth is virtually guaranteed to be impossible to connect to them or to trace in its entirety. The only real restrictions on them is that they cannot receive US visas at the moment. But 5-50 people having visa restrictions is hardly rises to the level of what is called "sanctions."
Actually, the US sanctions are currently an ongoing joke in Russia. I saw someone post a photograph showing that some local gym was advertising that they were having sanctions against McCain and Harry Reid. The sanctions cover a few (very few) individuals. They are about as much "sanctions" as Obama's administration is "the most transparent in history." The Oligarchs managed to make their money in Russia in which every business, at the time, was ran the way the narco businesses are ran in the US (in complete absence of the law). Having a few accounts frozen is hardly a contingency they haven't anticipated.
Maldives is yielding to pressure both from the US (which probably did kidnap the guy) and from Russia. Russians see Maldives as THE PRIME DESTINATION for anyone with money. The name "Maldives" in very, very common in modern Russia. But the reason they were pressured to take responsibility is that kidnapping a direct relative of a Parliament Member makes this potentially an Act Of War. US doesn't want the possibility of such such interpretation being made. And neither does Russia. Russia is in no position to let go of even a minor act of war right now. The internal Russian media has been blaming the West for Ukraine's asserted independence and has created a war-path climate. Russia would HAVE TO respond to even a minor act of war at this point. And they don't want to be forced into this position over someone nabbed on fraud charges.
Maldives doesn't give two craps about the US. The reason it would lie (if it were to lie) would be to placate Russia. Russian tourism money is one of its main sources of revenue. Not just general tourism, but specifically Russian. Vacationing in Maldives is the considered the main indication that one "has arrived" in modern Russia. It's where the Russian Big Money go when they want to prove that they are BIg Money. If there is even a hint that they served as US lap dogs, this particular little vacation destination will be abandoned. They are gonna have to prove now that a son of an MP was on Interpol watch list. Because he almost certainly was travelling on a diplomatic passport and was most likely outside of the reach of Interpol's jurisdiction.
The Russians are masters of passive aggression when it comes to law enforcement when it suits them: the place is corrupt from top to bottom, and it manifests itself in a complete lack of desire to cooperate in international law enforcement.
No argument there. But this didn't happen in Russia.
What's more interesting is that Maldives almost definitely would not have agreed with it. It depends on Russian tourist money because Russians somehow think it's the destination of those at the very top of the pecking order. There is almost no way Maldives would have agreed to piss off Russia over a mild fraud case. So this was in violation of the local laws. Given that he may have had a diplomatic passport, it could have been an act of war, too.
The more interesting part is that Maldives actually agreed to it. It's the favorite tourist destination of the the Russian money. It's one of the few places that depends on Russia much more than it does on the US.
Putin has already lost power to the murderous thugs currently running Russia. The current occupation of Ukraine is nothing but a deliberate attempt of the Russian upper military class to reassert its relevance to the level which it enjoyed during the Soviet Union and which it has long lost in the current climate of peace.
It is most definitely about burdening Russian companies. If the police raids their Russian offices they don't have the excuse "our data is stored abroad" anymore. Such an admission in itself would become and admission of guilt.
While the question is interesting, it's off topic. You may as well ask the same question about any development task. Clearly the person asking the question already decided that the advantages of Python outweigh the advantages of C,ERLANG and COBOL. He is now asking whether the advantages of R outweigh the advantages of Python. Which is an entirely different topic.
Nah, that one will be much easier to fight. NYC, for example, made segways illegal despite being the best market for it and having a lot of bike lanes which can be used by segway users. It's easy to outlaw a technology which can be visually identified (police can ticket its users). It's much harder to enforce a ban of technology based purely on information.
Interesting. So are you pro or against the AGW hypothesis? Because when I argue that AGW hypothesis is a thinly-disguised neo-Communist agenda, it seems to have a whiff of paranoia. Would you care to affirm that you a primary example of such a confluence?
If a plant managed to find a process to capture all chemicals and have 0 pollutants other than CO2, this would give them a way to also be free of CO2 regulations.
would be nice if a lawyer could comment if a branch of canadian government has standing in dictating policy of foreign corporations. does google.jp, for example, really have to comply with canadian court orders?
This time they may have stepped into it. Whoever created the myth that the emails were destroyed will probably go to jail. The very claim that the electronic records could not be produced because they were destroyed (while they clearly haven't been) is tantamount to attempting to destroy those records. There is no question that this lie gets them on abstraction of justice and lying to Congress. But attempting to destroy electronic records of a crime brings in a whole new set of charges (think wire fraud and such). They can't back peddle this anymore. Expect them to double down and dig in.
I am still confused how the fourth amendment applies to the boss-employee relationship. These computers are owned by the federal government. The Congress, as the entity holding the purse, pays for these computers. The Congress has the power to audit everything on these computers. These are not her private records. These are records created in the process of conducting official government business.
what's to stop nsa from "losing" metadata? As long as the ultimate check on the President's power is off the table (as it is with this President), the executive branch is unaccountable. Short of a veto-proof majority, the Congress has as much power (or even less) than the UN. It's a debate society.
Are you joking? The complexity of data handled by the IRS is probably rivaled by NASA. These are the guys who could detect fraudulent patterns of receipts 30 years ago. Exchange? You are talking about them as if they were some 2-bit bureaucracy. The IRS is the all-feared standard for record keeping and processing. Their detection of record inconsistency is near absolute. Loss of records? Exchange server? Are you seriously making this argument? The fact that they mentioned "computer crashes" as the reason should tell you everything there is to know. It's an excuse made by someone without enough technical understanding of how things work. Never mind that is has nothing to do with reality. It has nothing to do with technology. Nor does the person who came up with this myth.

They do if the comments promote violence.
did you say line 138? And then line 255? That's a LOT for a python script. Sounds like python is doing most of the setup work.

If by that you mean, that it was you talking out of your ass (the inside of it), then you are probably right.

Cooperating with the US would have been (and still is) a terrible PR move for Maldives. Russian oligarchs are their main customers.

Why Python and not C or ERLANG or COBOL? ..

SQL server is down and the boss is in the elevator coming to fire you is a pretty critical bit of information.
So as to fix it himself? Fear is how you negotiate down your life.
