    You, like many 'Americans', like the 'idea' of what the militarty is supposed to be, yes.

    But the more becomes known about what it has been and is,
    that changes.

    I don't expect anything really. I wish they would only be at war if we had to. I don't know any world leaders who I trust,do you?

    No.
    Whatever you think the bad news is,
    the actual happenings (and motives and purposes) are thousands or millions of times worse than any of the news 'allowed'. (since wwI at least, it seems)

    Ukraine and NATO countries are accusing Russia of launching a missile attack on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, according to Euronews and American mainstream news.

    So let's get this straight. Russia occupies the plant, has personnel inside and outside the plant and launches a missile strike on their own military. Anyone who suspects Ukraine of the attack is a lunatic and conspiracy theorist and possibly a terrorist.

    It's good news, really. It means Russia will lose the war because their military is suicidal.

    Don’t know what’s really going on.
    Throughout the 6 months war, McDonald’s has been closed in Ukraine even though they have kept paying the nearly 10K employees.
    Now, Mickey D’s is reopening a large number of their stores and people are going back to work.

    Eating at McDonald’s isn’t all that healthy anyway but ……..?

    (Maybe they have a new item on the menu called the Bomb Burger served with glow in the dark missile fries.)

    Russia seems to be winning the war, as the amount of territory controlled by them continually increases. It is undoubtedly the Ukrainians attacking the nuclear plant, as the Russians are using it as a shield for their weapons systems. Ukraine IS getting more aggressive against the Russians, however, using the long-range missiles Biden said we would never give them. They are attacking inside Russian territory, which Putin has said would be a so-called Red Line. Maybe Putin's Red Lines are just like Obama's and they don't mean anything. We'll see....

    "the Russians are using it as a shield for their weapons systems."

    Do you have a source for this? I wasn't aware or it. Still, it's not as bad as the Ukrainians setting up around hospitals, schools and apartment buildings, using their own citizens as human shields.

    Most are biased western news but I found a few that are more trustworthy than the mainstream. There must be something to the story.

    15 Most Unbiased News Sources 2022 [Researched-Based] - TechPresident.com

    (excerpt)
    Al Jazeera: Al Jazeera is based in Qatar. Qatar is quite different from America, where "freedom of the press" is sacrosanct. However, Al Jazeera remains unbiased and fact-based. It is surprising that many Americans prefer an Arabic news source over an American one. That is the reality of the world today.

    From RT; Medvedev says it like it is.

    Western “half-wits” from “stupid think tanks” are leading their countries down the road of nuclear armageddon with their hybrid war against Moscow, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel on Tuesday. Endlessly funneling weapons and support to Ukraine while pretending not to be directly involved in the conflict will not work, added the deputy chair of the Russian Security Council.

    The “security guarantees” proposal unveiled by Kiev on Tuesday was “really a prologue to the Third World War,” said Medvedev, calling it a “hysterical appeal” to Western countries engaged in a proxy war against Russia.

    If the West continues its “unrestrained pumping of the Kiev regime with the most dangerous types of weapons,” Russia’s military campaign will move to the next level, where “visible boundaries and potential predictability of actions by the parties to the conflict” will be erased and the conflict will take on a life of its own, as wars always do, Medvedev argued.

    “And then the Western nations will not be able to sit in their clean homes, laughing at how they carefully weaken Russia by proxy. Everything will be on fire around them. Their people will harvest their grief in full. The land will be on fire and the concrete will melt,” Medvedev wrote, before citing a Bible verse from Revelations 9:18.

    “Yet still the narrow-minded politicians and their stupid think tanks, thoughtfully twirling a glass of wine in their hands, talk about how they can deal with us without entering into a direct war. Dull idiots with a classical education,” Medvedev wrote.

    Does anyone really think the west is afraid of that murdering thug and his lackey's. He should be afraid of his own people because they are getting ready to snuff him and the other war mongers out for good. Most Russians are pretty normal and only want to live a normal peaceful life. People forget they already removed the KGB once and rescued Russia until this lowlife slug crawled out of the rubble and re established the murdering and what we see happening today. Ukraine is pummeling the Russians and are fighting a real war, not murdering civilian populations and infrastructure. When this is over and Ukraine is safe again the NATO countries need to make sure the Russians rebuild or pay for the rebuilding of the destruction. Ukraine had done nothing to Russia but declare their true Independence. Ukraine is not Russia and most other little countries around Russia are all or were sovereign nations before the communist came into power and stole their land. There is so much territory it has never been populated do to the barrenness. There is one common enemy for all free nations and that is Communism. Today the entire world realizes how dangerous a communist is, why we even have them trying to establish themselves here in America in such places as Austin Texas of all places. Now if those commies are prepared to continue they will find out what it was like at the Alamo. :)

    it's people that are either deranged, or have no education on exactly what communism means. I can understand why so many of our young people have chosen to go for communism because they've see what our "democracy" has become. They want to survive, and I'd be damned depressed and scared if I was a young person looking at what is going on in America.
