    I think people in many other countries aren't as prudish as we are in the US.

    I just hope Musk is the man people are wishing him to be. He's a billionaire, after all, and most of the world's billionaires don't care for free speech.

    Ironic that Trump was banned but Putin is still allowed to post, as is Xi and the Taliban.

    I'm wondering if NewsMax is controlled opposition.

    1) Their main sponsor is a jab pusher.
    2) They never report on the Azov battalion or other Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
    3) The Ukrainian people are consistently presented as heroes.
    4) Vladimir Putin and Russians in general are vilified at every opportunity.
    5) The global cabal is never mentioned.
    6) Their many highly paid reporters and anchors and their high production quality indicates a budget not justified by the level of viewership.

    ... pretty damning, I think.

    Part of the war or pre-war propaganda. Many of the "elites" want a war with Russia. I don't really understand what the motives are. I understand Putin's motives I think, but the West painting one dictatorship as better than another is something I don't get, although Ukraine is a U.S. puppet state apparently, so who knows? Did anyone see the the "angel" Zelensky just had his principal political rival arrested and jailed a few days ago? Nobody in the west has covered it much.

    He's also closed down all opposition papers. We're headed that way.

    No matter what you hear, Ukraine is not"...a democracy with a democratically-elected president...", but then, I am sure WE are not a democracy, and I'm not sure about whether the president was elected or appointed.

    In possible response to the sinking of a major ship of the Black Sea Fleet, Russia appears to be moving tactical nuclear weapons to sites near the northern border of Ukraine. CIA commentators say this means nothing. Others state (Russian media) that since Russia is apparently fighting the infrastructure of NATO and NATO weapons systems, they might as well make it a real fight, and Putin has sent a message to Biden indicating a possible response if the U.S. does not stop supplying weapons to the Ukrainians. We'll see.... If Russia decides to use its real weapons, our satellites could go dark.

    Here is new video of fighting in Mariupol. It confirms that the Azov battalion is shooting people because they can speak Russian or are wearing a white armband. Civilians wear a white armband to show that they are neutral or even pro-Russian. DPL stands for Donetsk People's Republic.

    The video is age-restricted, and I guess I am just too young to view it:)

    Click on 'watch on youtube', then on 'I understand and wish to proceed'. You should be able to bring it up.
