In the Vietnam War era, the major media companies had their own people in South Vietnam every day.

We are manipulated on all sides. The first victim of war is the truth.

Putin started this war so I tend to favor Ukraine simply for that fact. I recognize that Russia has some valid grievances with Western action right up to his border, denial of water to Crimea, and mistreatment of Russian nationals in Donbas particularly by the Azov Battalion, but not enough for war. On the other hand, pro-Ukraine propaganda is pushed on us by the tech and media giants, George Soros, the Bidens and New World Order advocates throughout the world, a group of people I look upon as enemies to me and all average Americans. Their background machinations and what they expect to gain out of this is a concern.

I am OK with some supporting Ukraine with arms and equipment. I think the best outcome is to bleed Putin’s government out on the battlefields of Ukraine using Ukrainian forces so the Russians can not pursue wider ambitions. So far Ukraine is succeeding at that, but I do not believe Ukraine will ultimately stop Russia from taking Donbas.

Putin pulled the trigger because of Biden’s weaknesses combined with anti-Russian policies. My biggest fear is we get directly involved because of incontrollable escalation that could come from that and the demonstrated military incompetency of this administration. So far our sanctions are failing as the Russians are coping amazingly well and the US Dollar’s position in the world is becoming the biggest victim. Any direct conflict with Russia leaves us distracted and weakened, fatally in the worst of all scenarios. We have bigger problems with China who is also reading our current weakness and weighing it against attacking Taiwan and dominating their neighbors throughout the region.

” I also believe deep state pretty much controls the U.S. media.”

You’re not wrong about the criminal deep state weenies dumping loads of cash onto the media traitors. Advertising revenue in the media has dropped by 90% in some media sectors, yet the media continues to roll.
