Coincidentally, the first article that came out of that thing from a poster was Israel lobby propaganda that said that Russian propaganda on social media is the source of worldwide antisemitism. It has no credibility. It disseminates state run propaganda because "if it comes from the government, or a politician, it must be true" and the think tanks that work for them.
Culture is identity. Isn't that obvious from looking at different people all over the world? It is true, there is a clash of cultures because everyone is proud of their identity. Nationalism is extremely powerful because it is human instinct to look upon kinship. Humans are social animals.
Does it really matter if he really is against it or not? Is he supposed to get a point for displaying some kind of compassion; compassion points, yet the Gazans are still bombed, starved, and utilities are out.
The problem with the US military capacity is what libertarians long argued about and even predicted. When you have essentially infinite people, taxes & money printing, with all peer competitors remove, thus no perceived rivals, including the low threat from Russia. Free to roam, the US engaged in a nation-building, and deposition of world leaders to refashion the world into a liberal world order that is subservient to US influence. The Saudis had their security quid pro quo, European countries cut military budgets to below the minimum, and all was great...for a little while. That is until the US ran into Russia, ignoring the conditions of Ukrainian statehood, which is neutrality. Yes, the people who watch CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, read The Hill, NY Times, listen to Joe Biden, Blinken, Hillary Clinton, Nikki Haley, Mitt Romney, Mike Pence, Jack Keane, David Petraeus, John Brennan, John Kirby, the list goes on, & the secret women & men who hold talks and meetings behind closed doors, believe information that tailored for their consumption, as to have a specific perception by false narrative. Their minds are a product of a militant democratic state that uses propaganda as to fill the lack with autocracy. These are products of the US psy-op operation. They are programmed drones.

These elites make up the establishment, which can be termed "The Deep State". It is a conformist and loyal fraternity of people who clearly have too much time and power in their hands.
Demand is relative. When the USSR collapsed, NATO countries, especially European members, dramatically cut military spending below the minimum mandate they agreed upon, which contradicts the Russophobia narrative. A reason why for "high demand" is that since the US was picking on small, weaker countries, it never had to face an adversary in a war of attrition. Instead, the US military during the unipolar moment. Uncle Sam focused on high-tech gadgets that focused on precision while gutting the true and proven kings of battle, like artillery and their dumb shells. Even the M777 shoots a high-tech GPS guided 155mm shell. Because the US government never provided checks on pricing, no bargaining, the US hyperinflated the costs for military procurement. Things that should be reasonably priced with their military contemporary equivalents, are ludicrously priced. Paying more for less. There is your price gouging there. They have done it to themselves. This is more than just attributed to higher income. The military suppliers purposely maximize profits over volume, and only produce just enough as not to lower their profit margins than necessary. American politicians won't tell you about this, because their profligacy creates its own constituency, and a revolving door of politicians becoming lobbyist, and vice versa. You know, like Nikki Haley, who some moderate democrats find apparent qualities about her.
That is a real possibility.
I didn't believe the initial claim that Putin will order a hit on a political enemy that is imprisoned in an isolated, frozen, environment.
He is fully aware Ukraine can't win. His advisors tell him, including general Milley.
That is correct. Congress have their own discourse while they deal with the public differently. There is a lot of stuff that goes on that clearly does not represent the will of the American people.
You do know there are other possible hurricanes that could be a threat? Where is the money? Where is it? What if another hurricane hits?
