There are plenty of other international news channel with Ukrainian reach like RT, CGTN, AJ, DW etc. Why must it always be US/UK liberal news channel? Also this particular article does not even involve any war time reporting and Bloomberg is a financial news channel with limited insights, so why of all possible sources on this matter ST choose this article which frankly sounds more like a US State Department press release than a factual reporting?
Nowadays I find reading other ASEAN papers like Bangkok Post, Jakarta Post, The Star and Phnom Penh Post much more insightful on international affairs than ST. I read ST might as well directly go and read US/UK media much faster and more comprehensive.
The Star?
jhk spotted.
No wonder so pro-commie.
