An entrepreneur is not defined by the number of times he or she fails, but what they learnt from those mistakes.

Twisted Ukraine narrative

Sensible people stopped taking the western media seriously at the time of the 2003 Iraq war, when it became little more than a cheerleader for the western war machine, ridiculing dissenting voices as it destroyed an Arab country in a war based solely on lies.
