The Indians are now dealing with the British the same way they are dealing with xiaomi, as they had claimed xiaomi was evading taxes?
An American family living in Antep (one of the worst hit areas in Turkey) came across a Russian rescue team. But they didn't answer back at the rescue team when they heard "davai davai". They were rescued 189 hours later. They told the rescuers they thought Russians wouldn't rescue them from the collapsed building since they were Americans, so they didn't answer back. The tweeter heard this story from the bulldozer operator who personally participated in the said rescue. Sad indeed.
Lucky bastards living another 189 hours... Superstition could have cost their lifes' !
I don't think it's him playing dumb. I think Marcos is trying to get a provocation which would justify further agreements with United States.
Philippines is an American-phile nation. They want our (American) protection, and United States is happy to play ball. I wouldn't be surprised to see ever-more bases and larger collaboration between the two countries in the next few years.
What it looks like from Chinese spy balloon pov.
I wonder about the options they were evaluating at the time - To not get rescued because they were Russians vs to not get rescued if nobody else came.
That family made it sound like the Russians were gonna murder them if they found out where they were "hiding".

There is a long history of unwelcome books and films in India being banned, subject to official harassment, campaigns of intimidation, etc.
Two examples that come to mind are Satyajit Ray's 1971 film Sikkim recorded a few years before the Kingdom was annexed by India, and Wendy Doniger's "alternative history" The Hindus.
My basic attitude towards such things is that if powerful folks are trying to ban or suppress something, it is definitely worth checking out, which is why the latter is in my bookshelf, though admittedly I have been too lazy to read past the introduction.
Intense and entertaining finals and Oliviera's (TIME) post win interview was pretty emotional that I think the interviewer herself was getting emotional as well.
Propaganda (the bad kind which is made of lies) clearly rots one's brain. These people clearly thought death was preferable to being rescued by Russians. My mind boggles at the idea of such an extreme. What kind of media were they consuming to reach such nonsensical ideas, to think of a rescue team no less?
