Die große Lüge, das Land als „Drogenstaat“ zu bezeichnen
Der frühere Leiter der UN-Behörde für Drogen- und Verbrechensbekämpfung zeigt die tatsächlichen Verhältnisse im internationalen Drogenhandel auf. Das venezolanische „Cártel de los Soles” ist demnach so legendär wie das Monster von Loch Ness, dient aber den USA dazu, Sanktionen, Embargos und Drohungen mit militärischen Interventionen gegen ein Land zu rechtfertigen, das zufällig über einige der größten Ölreserven der Welt verfügt.

Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm. "We as Ukrainians believe that the truth is on our side, whether it's truth that you're proclaiming about the war and everything else, why would you want to hide it?," he said. In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram.
