People shouldn't lose sight of the bigger picture. Ukraine is being pushed out front but of course, as we know it's far bigger than that.

I have long suspected that as a simple resident without political ambitions, life in North Korea is more peaceful and quiet than here. In part, probably even luxurious compared to some countries in poorer regions of the "Western" sphere of influence.

On a serious note... I don't know what Bolsonaro is doing in Moscow.
He's going to lose to Lula in the coming October 2022 election.
Russia will just wait it out i think...

https://anti-empire.com/bolsonaro-is-in-moscow-precisely-because-the-white-house-told-him-not-to-go/
this^^^ piece is nonsense imo trying to make Zio/Bolsonaro look like a 'maverick'

he's just following the clandestine orders of CIA Chief Burns who flew into Rio de Janeiro for a tete-a-tete several months ago.
the 'orders'? while the CIA deals w/ Lula..... I suspect Bolsonaro is to try to portray himself as a 'rebel'... a 'Global South Trump'..
instead of a footstool for the global corporations that are decimating Brazil's rainforest and indigenous tribes.
He is without a doubt 'controlled' opposition. Better to wait for Lula.

Imagine if “dictators” Putin, Nicolas Maduro, Assad, & Xi Jinping forced banks to freeze peoples’ accounts on a whim,
without any legal protocols & with impunity? How long would the U.S, Canada & NATO
allow before an invasion to “restore democracy & stop human rights violations”?

I'm guessing the roommate Tucker traveled down to Nicaragua with to support the Contras was Neil Patel,
who served as Scooter Libby's deputy and Dick Cheney's chief policy advisor
before co-founding the Daily Caller with Tucker.

I'm sure this has already been covered, but I wanted to make note of it myself.
Today's RQ-4 flight is currently making similar patterns to the other day,
suggesting that today's flight is likely manned (i.e. guided by a human, instead of waypoint to waypoint). 1/2
