Mixing up C and S, leaving out articles, confusion of simple present and present progressive tenses. Hmm these are common English errors Russian speakers make.

What do you think of weeb’s take that this is a spoiling attack?
If the source is 'Iran Observer' or some crap then people will make fun of you.
Moscow Times was posted a few months ago, and there was surprisingly little ridicule. But that was off the mega.
I missed this one. It appears the RF is trying to set up reciprocal foreign asset seizures ahead of expected formal seizure of RF assets in the US. Here’s a very short article in Xinhua.
This actually looks like an attempt at de-escalation to me. The seizure of foreign property is an act of war, and the Putin administration seems to be looking for a way to appease RF entities holding those frozen assets in the US without a war declaration, should those assets be subject to formal seizure by the US. Am I reading this correctly?
The Cuban Communist Party is mad at the German Embassy over a Facebook post.
On that same date, Press Freedom Day, 8 161 kilometers from Berlin, the German Embassy in Cuba, and through the Facebook account of that legation, consummated a gross act of interference and flagrant violation of international standards for diplomatic relations, by altering the text and photo on the front page of Granma with erasures typical of (un)classified documents, even on the name of Palestine. "There is not much to see here," the publication added.
To my ear, this style is the Nashville version of "Adult Contemporary" ca. 2010. Similar things were happening in Evangelical Christian music at the time.
does this style actually sound good?
It sold a lot of records. A more interesting question might be "is it country?", or "who gets to decide what country is?". It's probably better not to argue about that sort of thing on the internet though. Instead, here's a video of a contemporary christian group from Nashville performing a minor novelty country hit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ow1pV2MqN8
The hilarious part is that there's plenty of tungsten deposits in the US, but getting it out of the ground would require, you know, industrializing.
Thank you for this update! I didn't follow Bentley closely, but he has been on my mind a lot since his reported death. It's the kind of thing that won't be widely reported in English because his existence was embarrassing to the American project in Ukraine. WTF happened to Texas???
a stalemate is when the enemy captures your cities. and the more cities they capture, the more of a stalemate it is.
The most in-depth coverage I could find is from Russian state media.

From what I’m reading, it looks like a full-on coup has taken place. Both Russian and American media have reported the seizure of the parliament building, with Russian media further reporting the seizure of the presidential administration building.
American-aligned media report heavily referencing US State department media reports:
