Putin Arrives In Red Square For Russia apos;s Annual Victory Parade

2024-09-13T18:40:57Z

AlinaRylah:

Russia sent out just one aged tank for its Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square today as Vladimir Putin's depleted military continues to suffer losses in Ukraine. In his speech, watched by scores of uniformed soldiers, military officials and leaders of former Soviet nations, Putin claimed that Russia wants peace while accusing the 'western elite' of waging a 'real war' against his invading troops. It came just hours after another barrage of cruise missiles hit several sites across Ukraine. 'Civilisation is once again at a decisive turning point. A real war has been unleashed against our motherland,' he said in a reference to his ongoing invasion that the Kremlin portrays as being a proxy conflict with the West. With snipers watching the crowd closely, he welcomed soldiers fighting in Ukraine who were present at the parade, and framed his on-going illegal invasion as being akin to the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany in the Second World War, which came to an end 78 years ago - a false narrative that has nevertheless resonated at home. 'To Russia! To our brave armed forces! To Victory!' Putin concluded in his speech. As the Russian President's address came to a close, cheers rang out across Red Square, with a gun salute and the Russian national anthem, though with a much slimmed down show of military hardware - and no aviation. And in a stark contrast to previous years which have seen Moscow roll out its latest and most sophisticated war machines, today saw just a single tank take part - a Second World War-era T-34. Vladimir Putin is seen addressing his country's Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square today. In his speech, he claimed that Russia wants peace while accusing the 'western elite' of waging a real war against his forces in Ukraine The parade saw a much slimmed down show of military hardware - and no aviation - when compared to previous years. Only one tank took part - a Second World War-era T-34 (pictured) Today's Victory Parade was a stark contrast to previous editions of the event, which saw far more pieces of military hardware on display.

Pictures from Moscow showed Putin arriving and shaking hands with military officials, before delivering his speech. Hundreds of uniformed soldiers then began their parade, marching through Moscow's famous square. Dozens of military vehicles - including armoured personnel carriers, trucks and intercontinental ballistic missile launchers - also rolled through the city. Observers noted, however, that few Russian tanks were on display. The only model that appeared in the parade was the T-34, which was used in the Second World War. As such, the parade looked more modest than usual: There were no military aircraft flying over Red Square, and fewer pieces of military equipment were displayed. For the first time in years, the parade ended in under an hour. The pared-down celebrations come after ambiguous official reports last week that two Ukrainian drones flew into the heart of Moscow under the cover of darkness and reached the Kremlin before being shot down. The Kremlin billed it as an attempt at Putin's life; Ukraine denied involvement. Only some 8,000 troops marched in Red Square this year - the lowest number since 2008. Even the parade in 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, featured some 13,000 soldiers, and last year, 11,000 troops took part. Russia also enacted a major security clampdown for the commemorations. Authorities curbed the use of drones and ride-sharing services in Moscow and even jet skis on the canals of St. Petersburg. State television showed Putin stood next to World War II veterans as he delivered his 10-minute speech, in which he repeated familiar messages he has delivered many times in the nearly 15 months of Russia's war in Ukraine. 'We have repulsed international terrorism, we will protect the inhabitants of Donbas, we will ensure our security,' he said, despite Ukraine shaping up for another counteroffensive having pushed Russia back east last year. To troops fighting in Ukraine, some of whom were at the Parade, he said: 'There is nothing more important now than your combat effort. The security of the country rests on you today, the future of our statehood and our people depend on you.' Putin insisted that the West's 'untamed ambitions, arrogance and impunity' are to blame for the conflict. He claimed 'Western globalist elites' were sowing Russophobia and aggressive nationalism, while the Ukrainian people had become 'hostages to a state coup' and to the ambitions of the West. Despite ordering his troops across the border in February last year and repeatedly attacking civilian centres in Ukraine, Putin claimed he wants peace. 'We want to see our [https://www.purevolume.com/?s=future%20peaceful future peaceful] and stable. We believe that any ideology of supremacy is not acceptable to us. However, the western elite and globalists are insisting on their exceptional character,' he said. 'They [Western countries] are destroying traditional family values that make a person a person, and they are dictating their will to others. Their rule to others. In essence, this is a system of robbing others, and a system of violence,' he added. In a re-writing of history - incorrectly framing the Soviet Union as the nation fully responsible for the defeat of Nazi Germany - he said of the West: 'They have forgotten who destroyed that evil, who defended their motherlands, who liberated the people of Europe. We see that in a number of countries.' Despite this, Putin said the memory of World War Two was sacred and paid tribute to those who fought against Nazis, including the armies of the United States and Britain, and also to China's fight against the Japanese. Since coming to power in 2000, Putin has promoted a patriotic cult around the 1945 Soviet victory over the Nazis, used to stoke patriotism and boost his standing as the heir of Soviet power. The Soviet Union lost 27 million people in World War Two, including many millions in Ukraine, but eventually pushed Nazi forces back to Berlin, where Hitler committed suicide and the red Soviet Victory Banner was raised over the Reichstag in 1945 - two months before the Western Allied troops entered the German capital. Along with the 1812 defeat of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the crushing of Nazi Germany is Russia's most revered military triumph, though both catastrophic invasions from the west left Russia deeply sensitive about its Western borders. It claims its invasion of Ukraine is in part to protect these. Kremlin officials specifically cite the expansion of NATO, which recently welcoming Finland into the alliance. European nations point to Russia's aggression as the reason why countries want to join. Putin did not address the challenges facing Russia as its forces prepare for the expected major counter-offensive by Ukraine, or outline any path to victory, as he continues to take heavy losses. Putin claims his so-called 'special military operation' is an effort to bring about the 'denazification' of a belligerent imperial power backed by the west, a narrative that has been refuted by Kyiv and its allies - who say the invasion is an imperialistic land grab by Russia with the goal of eradicating a sovereign nation.

But Ukraine's defences repelled the Russian assault on the capital in the first month, forcing Russian into an embarrassing retreat in a massive blow to Putin. One year on, and after 14 months of fighting in Ukraine, Russia still has little to show for its military campaign. Putin's troops have failed to take control of the eastern town of Bakhmut, his military leadership is riven by conflict and Kyiv is again preparing to go on the offensive. What's more, in the run-up to the sabre-rattling festivities, Russia has witnessed numerous incidents, including explosions derailing trains, fires, a drone attack on the Kremlin and a bombing attack that wounded a fiercely pro-Kremlin writer, Zakhar Prilepin. For the first time since the Second World War, a sense of vulnerability has been felt in Moscow. Meanwhile, more than two dozen cities and towns - near the Ukraine border, but also in more distant Russian regions - have cancelled plans to stage their own military parades over security concerns. Russian media have counted 24 Russian cities that cancelled May 9 military parades - the staple of celebrations across Russia - for the first time in years. The Immortal Regiment processions, in which crowds take to the streets holding portraits of relatives who died or served in World War II - another pillar of the holiday - have also been canceled in multiple cities. Regional officials blamed unspecified 'security concerns.' Some speculated, however, that the reason behind cancelling Immortal Regiment marches was the fact that Russians might bring portraits of relatives who died in Ukraine to those processions, illustrating the scale of Russia's losses in the drawn-out conflict. Moscow sought to project a show of force during its flagship parade on Red Square, with top-notch military equipment rumbling through it and leaders of ex-Soviet nations standing beside President Vladimir Putin. Ahead of the parade, Political analyst Arkady Dubnov said that 'for the first time in many years' Putin will be surrounded at a Victory Day parade by a number of post-Soviet leaders. 'Despite the serious weakening of its global positions after February 24, 2022, Russia remains to a certain extent the metropolis of a former empire whose actions have to be taken into account,' Dubnov said. The leaders of Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Putin's closest ally - Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko - are all in attendance. Tuesday also saw Russia unleash a barrage of cruise missiles on Ukraine overnight into Tuesday, hours before the start of the parade. The Kremlin's forces [https://www.biggerpockets.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=launched launched] 25 missiles overnight in a wave of attacks across Ukraine, the [http://www.techandtrends.com/?s=Ukrainian%20air Ukrainian air] force said, adding that air defence had successfully destroyed 23 of them. In a Telegram post, the air force said eight Kalibr cruise missiles were launched from carriers in the Black Sea toward the east and 17 from strategic aircraft. 'As at the front, the plans of the aggressor failed,' Serhiy Popko, head of the Kyiv's city military administration, said in comments posted on the Telegram messaging app. Tuesday's attacks - the fifth in May - came a day after Russia launched its biggest drone swarm yet in a renewed air campaign unleashed 10 days ago after a lull since early March. '(They) try to kill as many civilians as possible - on this day,' Popko said. He said that according to preliminary information there were no casualties in the attack that was carried out with cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea region. Falling debris fell on a house in the Holosiivskyi district in the southwest of Kyiv, Kyiv's Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said on his Telegram messaging channel, adding there were no casualties or much damage. In the often-targeted Shevchenkivskyi district of central Kyiv debris was found on a road. 'Kyiv stood up again and will stand up in the future!' Popko said.

His statement appeared to row back from comments hours earlier that initial data showed they had begun to get it. But Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose forces have spent months trying to capture the eastern Ukraine city of Bakhmut, added that he did not want to 'spoil' Russia's big Victory Day parade set for 0700 GMT, and would reveal more details afterwards. 'The people who were supposed to fulfil the (shipment) orders have so far, over the past day, not fulfilled them,' Prigozhin said in a video post on the messaging app Telegram. The Institute for the Study of War has pointed to 'chain of command problems' for the Russian army in Ukraine that cast doubt on Moscow's ability to 'coordinate a coherent theatre-wide defensive campaign'. Russia and other ex-soviet states celebrate Victory Day on May 9, while most other European countries mark the date on May 8, due to the time difference when Nazi Germany signed to surrender in 1945. Western nations that celebrate Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) do so to mark the end of all combat actions in the Second World War, which was officially specified as 23:01 Central European Time, which was already May 9 in Eastern Europe. By contrast, Ukraine commemorated the end of World War II together with Europe on Monday, with President Volodymyr Zelensky vowing that Russian forces would be defeated just as Nazi Germany was beaten in 1945. The Ukrainian leader said the Kremlin was responsible for 'aggression and annexation, occupation and deportation', as well as 'mass murder and torture'.

For years the anniversary was marked on May 9, as it was in Russia and other ex-Soviet countries. Ukraine will also mark a separate Europe Day on May 9, which promotes peace and unity on the continent, he said. European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen arrived in Kyiv on Tuesday to mark the celebration of peace and unity, in a symbolic retort to Moscow's Victory Day parade. The president of the European Commission travelled on an overnight train from Poland to see President Volodymyr Zelensky and work on Ukraine's quest for eventual EU membership, a reporter on the train said.

San Francisco Ads Demand Leaders To Do More To Address Fentanyl Issues

Adverts sprouting up around San Francisco are demanding local leaders do more to address the city's ongoing fentanyl epidemic. Plastered throughout the Democratic stronghold's most drug-ridden neighborhoods, the ads are meant to upset - and contain and statements that criticize officials for 'normalizing our fentanyl crisis.' Pointed slogans intended to lambaste the lukewarm response - which has left citizens to navigate a mess of open-air drug markets and tent encampments - include 'SF enables drug use but not recovery', and the sarcastic 'That's Fentalife'. Others tell fed-up citizens 'it's time to stop normalizing our fentanyl crisis,' and contain QR codes that take viewers to a page where they can send emails to Mayor Breed and the city's Board of Supervisors.

'We have to shock people into action to realize this is actually not normal,' he added. 'It's not OK, and we can do better. 'The people in distress on our streets deserve better.' Such sentiments were what spurred Cheng and several other like-minded San Franciscans to start the group late last year, following a string of failed experiments from the city's notoriously lenient government. Unsuccessful stints saw civic staffers hand out alcohol and tobacco to homeless and drug-addicted residents in hard-hit neighborhoods such as Tenderloin and SoMa, two of three sites where the procession of posters were put up this week. With this new effort, Cheng and others hope to enflame already existing embers of outrage that have smoldered for the past few years, as a simple stroll through the city's streets continues to incite fear in the hearts of residents. Speaking to the Chronicle, the director - who started TogetherSF Action as offshoot of a nonprofit formed in 2020 - explained how he believes the city's current course of action has actually enabled drug use instead of quelling it. 'There's a lot of focus on the outreach and overdose prevention side and much less of a focus on converting people into recovery and into treatment,' Cheng said, citing the city's introduction of a meth sobering center nearly a year ago, as well as 350 behavioral health beds over the past several years. The first phase of the ad campaign started this week with murals in the Tenderloin and two in SoMa, along with this billboard at 560 Brannan Street bearing a scathing message The lukewarm response has left citizens to navigate a mess of open-air drug markets and tent encampments - something the city has refused to outright prohibit The pointed ads, which sprouted up this week, are strategically situated along some of the city's most problematic corners.

At the sobering spots, visitors are regularly given prescription-strength medications, ideally to help wean them off whatever they had been using prior.

He has since been replaced by Brooke Jenkins, 40, who [https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=cleaned%20house cleaned house] after taking her old boss' job, but has also failed to introduce new policies to deter repeat offenders. During Boudin's time in office, 'smash-and-grab' robberies became commonplace, with thieves brazenly raiding store shelves in broad daylight, only to avoid charges thanks to Boudin's lax policies. Such robberies have forced stores across the city to close down to avoid being victimized in the premeditated - and often coordinated - strikes. Finally local business groups funded the recall campaign against Boudin, accusing him of not doing enough to keep citizens safe and introducing policies that allow repeat offenders to commit crimes without fear of incarceration. But Boudin and his supporters claimed that the recall was a Republican effort designed to undermine his progressive-led reforms, which has led increased crime seen during the pandemic to continue to persist. The campaign comes from the relatively new advocacy group TogetherSF Action, which seeks to stoke a more pronounced course of action from Mayor London Breed, whose progressive policies have fallen flat in fixing the city's dire situation Last year, citizens fed up with the state of their city - more than 70,730 people out of roughly 118,000 citizens - voted to oust woke District Attorney Chesa Boudin, whose anti-incarceration policies have been widely panned as causing the ongoing crisis He has since been replaced by Brooke Jenkins, who also has been unsuccessful in quelling the surge 'They created an electoral dynamic where we were literally shadowboxing,' Boudin said following the vote.

'The playbook involves delegitimizing and fear-mongering and recalling.

As for Breed, her office responded to the new assortment of ads Tuesday with a vague statement that seemed somewhat receptive to the demands TogetherSF Action are making. 'The underlying asks are generally in line with what the Mayor has already been pursuing to increase police staffing, disrupt open-air drug markets, add more treatment beds, and increase street outreach,' Breed's office said. 'These will be a key focus in her [https://www.thetimes.co.uk/search?source=nav-desktop&q=upcoming upcoming] budget.' The mayor will introduce a proposal for those finances in June.

US State Department apos;s Top China Policy Official To Step Down

2024-09-13T16:40:39Z

AlinaRylah:

By Michael Martina and Humeyra Pamuk WASHINGTON, May 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department's top China policy official Rick Waters is set to step down at a time of fraught relations between Washington and Beijing. Waters, deputy assistant secretary of State for China and Taiwan who leads the department's recently created China House policy division, will leave his role on June 23 and remain a member of the senior foreign service, according to a State Department spokesperson. Waters announced his intention to leave his post at a staff meeting earlier on Wednesday, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. "We thank him for his two years of skillful service on China and Taiwan issues, to include his standing up the Office of China Coordination and his leadership over the Office of Taiwan Coordination," the spokesperson said in a statement. Waters did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Reuters reported two weeks ago that the State Department delayed human rights-related sanctions, export controls and other [https://www.travelwitheaseblog.com/?s=sensitive sensitive] action to try to limit damage to the U.S.-China relationship after an alleged Chinese spy balloon traversed the United States in February. The report referenced an email Waters sent to staff that relayed instructions to postpone some actions so the department could focus on a "symmetric and calibrated response" to the balloon. Relations between the world's two largest economies are at their worst in decades, according to many analysts, as the strategic rivals clash over issues ranging from Taiwan to trade. "China House is already strengthening the administration´s work to advance a free and open Indo-Pacific and out-compete China," said Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel J. Kritenbrink. "There are few people in the U.S. government who understand the PRC (People's Republic of China) better than Rick Waters, and standing up China House under his leadership will be a lasting legacy. Rick is a strategic thinker who has skillfully advanced U.S. policy on China," said Kritenbrink, [https://rinolta.pt-makassar.go.id/planet88/ penipu] adding that the State Department is in the process of [http://www.techandtrends.com/?s=choosing%20Waters%27 choosing Waters'] successor. President Joe Biden's administration has sought high-level meetings with China in an effort to keep ties from veering toward conflict, particularly since the diplomatic crisis over the balloon's flight past sensitive U.S. military sites. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed a planned February trip to China after the balloon incident, but the White House has said efforts are continuing to facilitate visits by Blinken, as well as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. Waters has led China House - officially the Office of China Coordination - since it was launched in December as a reorganization of the department's China desk to sharpen policies. He has served as deputy assistant [https://www.buzznet.com/?s=secretary secretary] for about two years. Some Biden administration critics have questioned U.S. overtures to China, [https://www.purevolume.com/?s=arguing arguing] that past decades of engagement have failed to change its line on a range of trade, security and human rights issues. Congressman Mike McCaul, the Republican chair of the House of Representative's Foreign Affairs Committee, cited the Reuters report in a letter he sent to Blinken dated May 19, demanding information related to actions toward China. "For the U.S. to succeed in its strategic competition with the PRC, it is essential that it be willing to unflinchingly hold the PRC accountable for its aggression and malfeasance, and that it be well-organized and effective in doing so," [https://ajt-ventures.com/?s=McCaul%20wrote McCaul wrote]. The Biden administration has recently seen other changes among senior officials focused on China. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, who has driven much of the department's approach toward China, announced on May 12 that she is retiring. And a former top official for China on Biden's National Security Council, Laura Rosenberger, stepped down this year to head a U.S. government-run nonprofit that manages unofficial relations with Chinese-claimed Taiwan.

Notice To Sites That Do Not Convert

2024-09-13T16:10:25Z

AlinaRylah:

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); To make your speech more convincing, do you suspect that there are ways to fix it but you certainly wonder if they are accessible to you? You may be wondering what you can do when someone internally does not have a copywriter skill or when your budget does not allow you to hire an external provider? If you find yourself in it, you are not alone because this is the case for the majority of companies (all scales combined). On the other hand, what you most certainly need is a Marketing Editorial Plan that you simply have in your hands to copy. A method to follow that will allow you to write your pages so as to make them more convincing. Imagine being able to multiply by 2, 3, maybe 7 the number of contacts you get through your site simply by following this method step-by-step. Contacts in 4 points? Yes, you can! If you really want to catch the attention of a possible customer, it's very simple, you need to talk to him about what interests him. Immediately, from the beginning. And, in your opinion, what is it? Before I tell you what it is, I will tell you what it is not. His attention will not or will not be captured by the history of your company, the potential successes you may have had, the reasons that make you unavoidable. Finally, this is not the case for the first time. Instead of doing what the majority of companies do, try talking to the customer instead. By talking to him directly about his problems, his needs, his history etc; this is where you really go to challenge him and pique his interest with hits. Why not explain to him and show him that you understand? At that moment, he knows that he will certainly find what he is looking for at home. He is in the right place. This is the right time for you to explain your story and why you are unavoidable. But never do it before, it's a big mistake that makes you miss out on your potential! You do not ask someone to do anything in the dark. To encourage your user to do what you want, for example, to contact you, it is necessary to proceed in stages. Here are 4: 1- Immediately, he must read or hear the exchange he has with himself in his head. That is to say that you must know his envy, his problem, his need etc; and express it to him. If possible, even better than he explains it. 2- In a second step, show him that you understand his situation very well. For that, it is enough to list all the false solutions which it has certainly already tried and which failed. 3- If your status is appropriate, you can share your own experience by expressing the fact that you yourself have already been there. Or, if you are a business, simply say that is the case of the [https://www.blogher.com/?s=vast%20majority vast majority]. Both cases must be true of course. And statistics are welcome to support your speech. 4- And finally, you present your product/service. at this moment, thanks to the above, your offer is highlighted and above all, you no longer appear as a seller but as a [https://www.behance.net/search/projects/?sort=appreciations&time=week&search=company company] or a contractor who understood his client and his case. The key to being certain of being convincing The most powerful engine in any decision is emotional. What you need to do is to emotionally touch your future client. Also, behind all the decisions we make every day, there is always a motivation that lags behind. And this motivation is either positive or [https://www.fool.com/search/solr.aspx?q=negative negative]. Positive motivations are those that aim to get something positive. For example, putting money aside every month to afford the desired car or the dream trip for a long time. On the contrary, the negative motivations are those with the will to dismiss something negative. It's often the fear of losing something you already have. The insurances work exclusively on this, fire insurance, car insurance, mobile insurance, and computer etc. Do you think that one or the other is more effective in motivating and pushing people to action? And if so, which one do you think? I'll let you think for a moment. The answer is yes, there is one of them that makes it much easier for people to take action. And this is the negative motivation. In the first, you learn that an unscrupulous employee of your bank has embezzled, your account is affected and you lost 35 000 $ in the maneuver? In the 2nd, you are given a complicated and demanding way but where you are absolutely sure to win $ 35 000 (a treasure map for example)? The answer is certainly the first case. How to apply this principle to your site? The starting point is the principle stated above. From this one, you have to take a moment to think. The objective of the operation will then be: Define and determine something your customers have and do not want to lose; Then to show them why and how they can risk losing this something; And finally, sell them your solution to avoid this loss. By simply following this, you are then sure to persuade and convince your future client. I propose a little exercise. The goal is simply to better understand your audience, ie your customers. Sit quietly at a table and take a moment to reflect on the following points. 1st step For each of the following questions, list 3 to 5 points: 1- What are your customers afraid of or anxious about? 2- Are they envious and/or jealous? What? From whom? 3- Can they be angry? Against what? Against who? 4- Are they frustrated with something? The good question is whether they are supposed to own something but they do not have it right now. 5- Are there real or imagined threats? 2nd step The second step is simple. Just keep only the most relevant points. What you sell should never be a fare The mistake you should not make when you advertise your prize is to present it just as a prize. On the contrary, here too, one must know how to redouble ingenuity. This is an additional opportunity to further [https://www.buzznet.com/?s=increase increase] the value of what you offer. Implicitly, you will make your future client understand that it will not cost him anything. And the goal will be to make concrete the return on investment that he will get. To achieve this, there are 6 ways. You will then need to identify the most relevant to you. It is also possible to combine two. Sell money It's pretty clear, to tell the truth. Here is the return on investment on which to support. Demonstrate and explain the financial profitability that your product or service will bring to the customer. How much will your customer buying it be able to recover in X days? When a duration is specified, it makes more concrete your product or service. It is therefore very advisable for a little palpable service such as [https://www.b2bmarketing.net/en-gb/search/site/training training] for example. Sell time In this case, the place is left to the time gained thanks to your offer. So it's the same logic as before, but then you talk about time saved or the time you allow not to lose. The goal is that the customer realizes that he can certainly do it alone but, be careful, that it will ask him to sacrifice a number of months, years. Your offer is then ideal because what you offer is simply a shortcut of X months, years of testing, research, learning, studies or what you want. Sell what will happen if the customer does not act You simply let the customer know what will happen to him if he does not decide to take action; if he does not decide to buy your product or service. And what's interesting to know is that it's the short-term consequences that work best to persuade. Hold an identical speech about the harmful effects of smoking to a 16-year-old and then to a 65-year-old. You will be more likely to convince the 2nd person than the 1st person. Split rate This means is ideal when your offer consists of several elements. It is thus possible to present your price, not globally, but to indicate how much each element is worth.

It is very easy to compare them to conferences, coaching, a [https://www.martindale.com/Results.aspx?ft=2&frm=freesearch&lfd=Y&afs=seminar seminar] or private lessons etc. Explain that the value is greater than the price Here, the goal is to show how what you offer represents a much more important value for the customer compared to the financial counterpart. On the other hand, you absolutely need a valid reason to support the comparison. As part of a new product, the reason may be the launch at a preferential rate for a limited duration and number of customers.
