    [QUOTE="Esau, post: 1073316063, member: 68331"h]Most conspiracy theories are true, apart from the ludicrous ones like ....hmm, flying motorbikes equipped with homing missiles developed in siberia.[/QUOTE]
    I trust my recollection of things and try to connect the dots. I have solved some historical mysteries and even had one published.

    There are though conspiracy theories that have no basis on reality. The biggest one was the Trump Putin collusion, and even though it cost our nation a fortune with the intent of destroying his presidency, people don't think of it as a conspiracy theory simply because it was never mentioned as being one by the media.

    Goes to show you how easily people can be manipulated and brainwashed.

    The whole Trump-Russian collusion was incomplete IMO. The Special Prosecuter, who was appointment by a GOP Congress and approved by a GOP President, aka Trump, failed to do one interview, DJT, on the charges and specifications listed in the special prosecutor's request. To this date, even from the office of Inspector General for the DOJ, only one person has been charged with any crime, exept for those from the Speical Prosecutor who were pardoned by trump.

    For someone who never gets facts from the media and press, because all they do is spit out their own 'conclusions', why are you discarding my conclusion so readily since I've never been caught in a lie, while they've been caught in a million and one lies?

    Not that it matters, I could care less.

    When white is black and black is white,

    how happy we'll all be.

    For we'll be told we're living well

    and we will all agree

    and should one say that they're in pain

    and doesn't see their gain.

    we'll pity them for we'll all know

    that they must be insane.

    The first stage is denial -- then comes grudging acceptance - soon after you will be on the band-wagon ;P

    Its not about calling bluffs its about looking at it from both perspectives. Western/europe media censors russian perspective, basically nato has declared war on russia by arming ukraine.

    Some of us are better informed of current and past events than others. Jeannette is one of those well-informed individuals.

    In contrast, some individual posters are like Joe Biden--they need a link to tell them what day of the week it is.

    Ladies and gentlemen, sorry I deviate from the topic of discussion. My question has no relation to conflict in Ukraine. How much is gasoline in the USA?

    There is too little information right now. As I know, they exploded a building of Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology. There was a nuclear reactor. That reactor was made by the USA. Our officials are sure there a nuclear bomb was developed. But this reactor wasn't too large, so we don't wait serious radioactive contamination.
    Zelensky lost control over army. There are mostly scattered pockets of resistance. Russian army move fast enough, but they try avoid civil victims. It is not easy, because Ukrainian fascists hide behind the civilian population. Unfortunately, all Ukrainian Army now during last 8 years took part in crimes: murders, robberies, rapes. Local population hates them. American formed Ukrainian army such way that now all officers are Nazi.

    It depends on the distances people have to travel to go to work. Then again each state has different prices because of the amount of tax they impose. But Russia's not to blame. Biden's policies are to blame and since it hurts companies like Exxon Mobil which is in Texas, I can't help but wonder if it's because Texas didn't vote for him.

    I believe that Biden's policies is the only possible. According Russian point of view the USA economics goes to collapse. As during WWI and WWII he wants make serious war in Europe. In this case capital from Europe has to move in the USA.

    Every country has their own media bias from the major world players such as US, UK, Russia, China, etc to the minor players such as Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines, Mexico, etc.

    United States news and Russian news have one thing in common though, they only report international news when they believe it affects, directly or indirectly, the local national news audience. Walter Kronkite wanted more international coverage. However, the difference is that in the US and most western countries, news media is a profit making business, not an institution. In most SE Asian countries, they report the international news, especially Europe and the US from their own bias.

    Point is, that all media has their bias from their cultural perspective. It is not myopic to think of "West vs East" mentality. I would suggest you start reading South China News, especially their international coverage on Ukraine. It does not follow Fox or CNN or MSNBC, Newmaxx, OANN, or any other major news outlet, but they are quite good IMO and one of the least biased. The Guardian, Financial Times and a few others are a close second, but not Russian state TV or RT network or CCTV or Chinese Comunnist TV, etc. These organizations get their marching orders from the political powers that be. .

    Different states have different gas prices based on how the gas is to be manufactured and what type of crude oil is used, the state gas tax, if any, which is used to help pay and maintain public roads, and the amount of refineries in the area. Federal gas tax is uniform throughout the country, but state gas tax can very from state to state and that variation is not that much between the high and the low.

    Texas traditionally has lower than national average gas prices, as seen in the link I provided about state gas tax. Some of the highest include California, Florida, Michigan, and Illinois. And if you look at the map, the states with the highest state gas taxes tend to have the highest per capita population density of the country, with one or two exceptions. Also in Texas, or more specifically the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast corridor, we have I think about half of all US oil refineries in the country. California I think is second and Mississippi is third I believe.

    Maybe you're able to distinguish right from wrong, but that doesn't mean that you always prefer the right side.

    You do prefer the pro-Russkie Putinist agenda and that's definitely the wrong side.
