In my view Free Republic has become increasingly insular and is not much interested in the world.
World events have impact on America and having a little understanding better than what is now presented is valuable . Great change is in process in for instance China and the mid east. The Ukraine war is being waged here so no need to comment on that
I don’t watch US news. Actually there are some news channels based in India I watch, that are probably the most objective about what is happening in Ukraine.
Fair point.
