Why is it that only foreign countries have evil oligarchs who buy and sell politicians, and the US is free of them? Something in the water? This list obviously only scratches the surface:

How dumb do you have to be to believe that journalists - who work at Bloomberg and the Bezos-owned WPost or Comcast or CNN - are worried about billionaires controlling media ().
They're only petrified that the *wrong* billionaire, one who may not censor for them, might reign.

Yesterday was a flagship day in corporate media. It was the day they were forced to explicitly state what has long been clear: they not only favor censorship but desperately crave and depend on it.
Even if Musk doesn't buy Twitter, never forget what yesterday revealed.
This German woman perfectly understands liberalism/libertarianism as John Mearshimer described it: "The Great Delusion: Liberal Dreams and International Realities." “They have no concept of a liberal, post-modern, life. A concept of life [as something that] each individual can choose.” As Mearshimer explains, or at least suggests, the idea of each individual choosing their own “sweet mystery of life” (Scalia) is the essence of liberalism/libertarianism and, despite what the German woman says, it is not the vision of a society conducive to human thriving that most people—when the implications smack them upside the head—prefer. We’re seeing that rejection now with the parental led uprising against the aberro-sexual and racial agenda being pursued in government schools. The parents, even if they don’t phrase it quite like this, want their children to be raised by the government as normal humans, in a traditional sense. That’s the delusion they live within—a government that’s responsive to normal people. However, the German woman is expressing the vision that our ruling elites are willing to have us die for in a WWW3:
True/False, sourcing? It does seem clear, based on the video of Dr. Phillip Karber at West Point that a lack of a US/NATO presence near the front lines—or even at the front lines—would be totally improbable:
Lastly, here’s an interesting perspective on why this Russian action has been a “special military operation” up to around now—not a war. But it will probably become a war soon:

But here’s a war:
Can you hear the faint echo of the World War Two German mindset in that woman? Slavic untermenschen or lebenunwertes leben. Not exactly the same but, just the faintest echo of the Hitlerian ethos regarding "The East." She can't quite put her finger on it but they're. just. not. the. same.
