    Yes, the US always sticks up for the little guy because
    the big guy expects to win so won't buy weapons from us.

    The little guy can't afford the weapons but that's OK
    because the US govt buys the weapons and gives
    them to the little guy, and then the longer the war
    lasts the more money the 'defense' industry gets.

    Of course the 'little guy' gets more and more trashed
    the longer the war lasts, but we don't care about that

    because the weapons makers get more money and
    Congress people get more kickbacks.

    Has this forum ever deleted a post of yours?

    If so, companies like this and other social media make users abide by their rules.
    And it's legal.

    Not if they are doing it at the behest of the government which the twitter files clearly demonstrated the government was.

    That isn’t true.

    Not one former President ever came close to whining about his press coverage as much as Trump does.

    ‘At the same time, he obsesses about it, spending large amount od his days consuming it.

    His childish rants, idiotic attacks, and sleazy attempts to hijack the news (not to mention his obvious self serving corruption and disloyalty) has earned him the press he got.

    Most elected officials learn to not to depend on being liked by the press, and never to take bad press personally.

    And politicians who whine about it look weak and pathetic

    Indeed, Harry Truman (who was a real leader) got lousy press coverage.

    His response: “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”

    trump has been whining for nine years, but he can’t stand the heat.
    .

    Truman would have slapped your carnival barker of a fuhrer right in the face for his efforts to betray the legacy of Churchill and Roosevelt. And then told him to man up for a change and stop his pathetic whining.

    No other President had so hostile a press. And sorry however much he complained as long as he took no other actions is not an attack on free speech.

    As revealed in post 1, the topic is whether anyone can justify our
    (the US) supply of weapons to Ukraine.

    The US proxy war with Russia is an historic first in aggression and
    stupidity, both characteristics of Biden.


    In 1963 during the Cold War our President JFK included in a speech concerning relations between the US and the USSR:

    Among the many traits the peoples of our two countries have in common, none is stronger than our mutual abhorrence of war. Almost unique among the major world powers, we have never been at war with each other.

    - until Joe Biden arrived.

    Dipshit Blinken just promised that Ukraine will become part of NATO. This is a provocation of idiotic proportions. What Western young men are willing to fight a war against a nuclear armed Russia? The time for a peace agreement is now.

    Twitter files say other wise so do public threats by Democrats to break up Twitter if they didn't do what they were told. Fake news appears to mostly be they stuff you actually believe in preference to the truth.
