Best of 2023: Editor’s picks from the Asia Pacific
John Pilger, one of the greatest investigative reporters of our time died yesterday.
He exposed the horror and crimes of US and Australia in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. He wrote about subjects most people wouldn't dare or care writing about.
He was like a shining light in the dark world of journalism with raser sharp pen to poke into the bubble of power controlling the information released to the media and amplified by the paid propagandists who called themselves reporters.
He sure will be missed.

Vietnam jails environmental activist for three years over tax fraud
Ukraine wants to receive long-range missiles from the West to attack targets in #Russia, #Iran and #Syria, where the #Shahed #drones are produced.
This is reported by The #Guardian with reference to the secret 47-page document that #Kiev has sent to its Western partners.
"The above may be carried out by the Ukrainian defence forces if partners provide the necessary means of destruction," Kiev suggests.
According to the article, "52 electrical components manufactured by western companies were found in the Shahed-131 drone and 57 in the Shahed-136 model, which has a flight range of 2,000km and cruising speed of 180kmh."
Meanwhile, almost all imports to Iran come from #Turkey, #India, #Kazakhstan, #Uzbekistan, #Vietnam and #CostaRica (funny they excluded China and UAE/Farhad)
According to the document, Iran has already diversified its production by using a Syrian factory with delivery to the Russian port of #Novorossiysk. It is also moving drone production to Russia's #Tatarstan.
The document says that the Iranian government is trying to "disassociate itself from providing Russia with weapons" and "cannot cope with Russian demand and the intensity of use in #Ukraine".
