    One of my favorites is Sky News Australia. They have more accurate news about the USA than any USA source.

    Another great source is following @Beth Gallagher right here on SOC. :)

    There are a host of sites if you wish to look at them all. So many hate us, I ignore them. Al Jazeera is ok if we aren't slamming someone in the Middle East. Oddly Pravda hasn't been that hard on us at all. But RT would bury us in a blink of God's eye. The UK papers run hot and cold on us as do our own news sites. Reuters and AP are mostly neutral and 1440 simply reports the news as it happens. Leave Italy and France out as they are too involved with themselves to care much about us. But, in the long run, by reading so many outlets, one can grasp a grain of truth of what is really behind the nefarious doings in DC and other capital cities as well. Scotland and England are at such odds with one another and Wales is weighing in against England as well. To say nothing of the French one day and then Macron making up to Boris the next when the Netherlands gets going over Brexit. I do know this, Missiles are aimed at all sensitive military installments in the US and I guess Bobby Cole and Yvonne are well aware of what that means for where they live. ICBMs are also aimed at the most populous areas. Conversely, we are positioned the same way. So, a nuclear war will not resolve one thing if anyone is fearful of what's going on in Ukraine. Even if Chernobyl is blown again, it may now be moot as I am sure they know to throw those boron rods soonest.

    Looking at the recent pictures of Putin just strengthens my suspicion that he is seriously ill and intends to go out with a legacy of power. Even if it is one of total negativity. His face is fuller and rounded and I don't think it's his diet. I am thinking medications of some nature along steroids and corticosteriods. Among other things. Perhaps I am wrong. Sad though that so many innocent people are tragically dying. Reminds me of the Blitz of London in the early 40's.

    I think you nailed it perfectly! He is mentally ill and doesn't care about himself or other humans. I hope the incompetent Biden and crew haven't messed with our missiles and have them ready to go and launch at the first sign of any heat changes in all Russian and Chinese missile silos. I still don't understand why we don't just take out Putin like Trump did the terrorist leader. Wait maybe it is because Putin and Biden are in this together. Putin takes out Ukraine and erases Biden's debt to them. This invasion would have never happened under Trump. The world is in deep do do and only those with tall boots are going to survive.

    I get my news from several sources, but my good mind is where fact is sorted from fiction, and my ability to solve puzzles comes into play.

    I get my TV news with an antenna which gives me ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and Newsy. I avoid PBS. I take it all with a grain of salt. The "analysis" I avoid. "Just the facts, Mam" to quote Sgt. Friday. Then there are radio news breaks and talk radio. Lately I've been going to the Daily Mail online for news on the war in Ukraine. At the end of the day though, I don't get invested in the news that much. What happens, happens whether I know about it or not unless it's at my front door.

    I mentioned talk radio. How come there are few progressive/liberal talk radio programs? https://messagingmatters.com/2019/07/10/on-radio-the-right-wing-is-swamping-progressives/
