Hey, Greek letters are used in school maths and physics! One with high school education should know how they look...

P.S. I do not speak Chinese or Japanese or Korean, but I know visual difference of symbols in those languages; can tell what is language of sign, etc.

There is no mistake. I mean we see news and those are also verified from other sources such as blogs. Mistake is to consider that 'free western mass media' are better than Russian; both tell ******** and both are brainwash machines.

No media is reliable Alik.

We are still way off topic.

Back on topic.

Alik, do you have any good information from your colleagues in-the-know about what's happening or happened that you could share with us?

So can I tell the difference, but many cannot or do not care enough to try. Ignorance, if we fall, will be the reason.

Alik, Is this privileged information you only boast about or are you simply ignoring me now?

Happy New Year to you my friend.

While western news media has its problems with objectivity and activity, it's miles ahead of countries with state-owned or directly state-controlled outlets.

What you're saying is on a par with claiming there's no difference between an American President and North Korea's new 'Great Leader,' Kim Jong Un.
