Context is everything, and something mainstream media seldom gives us. We're supposed to think the west is right and everyone else is crazy. And many believe it.

And the real crazy thing is, is that the information systems are so powerful that I can't help second guessing myself when swimming against the current, even when I rationally know that it's not true.

I know what you mean, Robert. Recently I told a friend about the genocide in Gaza, who then thought I'd gone down a disinformation rabbit hole. Crazy making, for sure.

Excellent work, Robert.

Yeah, the machine is hard to crack and makes it easy to doubt the truth.

Everyone should do their own thinking but here you're echoing Russian talking points and I need to call it out.

NATO is defensive. No one is planning to attack Russia.

Ukraine is sovereign and gets to choose for itself.

As I mentioned elsewhere: you're revering Maersheimer too much.

There's justice and the whole rules based order at stake.

Stop the appeasement tactics.

Peace through strength is the only way out.
