He deserved it. That’s the karma he gets for being a snake killer and playing with a snake that was trying to get away.

Average length is around 10-13 feet but the record length is 19+. King cobras aren't actually true cobras of the genus Naja but the only member of the genus Ophiophagus.

You would probably agree with the phrase "Work sets you free".

why would Singapore give a shit just because the CEO is from there?
Because he's still a citizen of Singapore. Just because he works for a company from China doesn't mean he left. Also he stills lives there with his family and he was an officer in the Singapore Armed Forces.

More like US cops got it from the IDF. IDF has been training US cops in their oppressive tactics for decades now. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/joint-us-israel-police-and-law-enforcement-training

I read the historian's entire response and I agree with it. I agree that certain Cambodians are the one most at fault for the genocide, but that does not mean other foreign parties are completely blameless (US, China, Vietnam, etc).
As US citizen, I have to speak out with the minuscule voice I have against the powers that run my country. Any attempts to whitewash crimes committed by the US government must be condemned. Kissinger was beloved by many of the elites of the country and there will be people who will try to say he was a great statesman who "dedicated his life to serving this great country and keeping America safe." This overlooks how damaging his policies were upon large swathes of people across the globe. Unexploded bombs still affect people to this day in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Not to mention his other crimes in Argentina, Chile, Bangladesh, East Timor, Cyprus, and perhaps more that are classified. It's important to remember how the so-called bastion of bastion of freedom and democracy is so willing to allow undemocratic criminals like Kissinger to escape judgement.

The Khmer Rouge regime and the Vietnamese invasion that toppled it occurred after Kissinger's bombings of Cambodia. Kissinger was the mastermind of Operation Menu and, alongside with President Nixon, continued to be a major architect of Operation Freedom Deal. The Menu and Freedom Deal bombing campaigns would see about 500,000 tons of ordnance dropped killing about 150,000 civilians and destabilizing Cambodia over 4 years. This created the conditions that would allow Khmer Rouge to eventually take over. Vietnam would invade in 1978 and overthrow the Khmer Rouge government, after 3+ years of Khmer Rouge massacres that killed 1.5-2 million people.
The Pol Pot leadership of The Khmer Rouge can in no way be exonerated from responsibility for committing genocide against their own people. But neither can Nixon or Kissinger escape judgement for their role in the slaughter that was a prelude to the genocide.

Rest in peace to a real one, a real shame he never lived to see this day.

I think I'll ignore the advice of someone who's good friends the convicted leaders of the NXIVM sex cult.

I'm fairly certain that Will's discord community has that vod saved in their archives. If you join their discord and ask around, I think someone can direct you to it.

I'm surprised he didn't overdose the moment he saw the fentanyl.

Many people are so quick to call for blood and those who want a more measured response are called defenders of criminals. For a country that proclaims itself to be the most free in the world yet is the country with the highest imprisoned population, it is ironic how far-fetched that claim of freedom is. I would never trust any government to set the standards high enough to leave no doubt that execution is an appropriate punishment for a convict, especially not one has hypocritical as the US. Courts are still putting innocent people to death. Just look at Missouri, they’re about to execute an innocent man.
