“We need to change the paradigm and move into war economy mode. This also means that the European defense industry must take more risks, with our support,” said Breton, previewing the package.

>This evil has its roots in the West and the USA in particular and NATO is the military wing of this evil ideology.<

The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one. “Let us break their chains,” they cry, “and free ourselves from slavery to God.” Psalm 2:2-3

Re: 24 - I’m a fan of not adding or subtracting from posted news articles, because I trust FReepers to come to their own conclusions.

Hmm. I posit common knowledge about al-Reuters that all Freepers know and that’s how you respond?

Opus?

You can write “Opus” all you want. It’s a meaningless word in the discussion.

I will suggest you need to work on your discernment.

Media sources, no matter who they are, often contain information that allows people to make a data informed decision about current events, etc.

And “that all FReepers know”? I believe what you really meant to write is “I want FReepers to believe what I believe and think what I think about a media source.”

Let me know if you need help with discernment - am glad to help.
