Ravenlocke, I do hope you saw and read my post #5751 on the previous page.Posted by Ravenlocke (here)
I also assume the mods will let me know if what I post is inappropriate and they are free to delete all my posts.
It does take a lot of time and energy to find, discern and post most of this and I’m sorry that it offends some of you, it doesn’t make me feel good either, nor help me health wise but I want to know what’s going on from the “other side” , the unpopular side. So sorry to all of you that complained and are offended.
Also I wasn’t aware that you couldn’t post news contrary to what news I post. And I do not comment because it’s mostly self explanatory information.
I wish you all a good evening🌞
Nothing you've posted is inappropriate. It's very much appreciated. If I've been out for most or even half of the day, the first thing I do to see what's been happening is skim through your updates on this thread.
(And the useful thing with Twitter and Telegram is that one can indeed skim them quickly, impossible with long videos and not at all easy with long articles.)
You do a great job on the Turmoil and Chaos all over the Planet thread, too. Twitter and Telegram work well there, for exactly the same reasons. Who knew there was turmoil in Malawi? Or Panama? Or New Zealand? The quick-scan posts there, often featuring one-sentence summaries with an image or a short video, allow readers to then to dive more deeply into those specific news stories if they want to.
But they have to know the stories are there first, so they can be dived more deeply into.
TargeT, accusing you of being a bot (he really meant it!), was out of order — and I'll state that publicly here.So sorry to all of you that complained and are offended.
It's SO simple for anyone to see from your 2271 posts that you're not!And they're all easy to search for and find, dating 11 years back to 2011.
"all of you that complained and are offended" may be a couple of people. Meanwhile, besides all the members who regularly follow this thread every day, I suspect for the same reasons I do, there are regularly 20, 30 or more guests reading the thread much of the day.
Why? Because this thread is an excellent, user-friendly, running real-time truth-committed ongoing news digest. (And searching the thread, an archive of events, too.)
You won't get that on CNN.

Hi Bill,
Thank so much, I really appreciate your encouragement, I apologize for taking so long to reply for personal reasons, and yes I did see your posts, Thank You!
I’ll continue to do my best as much as I can and thank you again and thank you Mods and everyone.
News is happening very fast and in large quantities and all of it connects the dots so I’ll try to bring it as quickly as possible.
Ravenlocke🌞🌞🌞🌻

Why do you think that Europe is obliging the USA? It appears to me that Europe is at least as complicit in the destruction of Russia as the USA. I have always marvelled at Europe's ability to ask the USA to do their heavy lifting and then lay blame on them when things go awry. Almost all the European nations have been duplicitous in their dealings with Russia.Posted by Rizotto (here)
But what is unclear to me is why are there people in Europe ready to oblige the USA's intentions of destroying Russia, even though the Soviet threat is long gone. I'm specifically talking about some EU people's apparent hatred against Russia from countries like Ukraine and Poland. This isn't a rhetorical question. Understanding this matter might be part of the key to resolving this conflict. Or maybe it's just the elite leaders of Poland who are insane, like Ania and Scott are saying in the above interview, and not the ordinary citizens. Would especially like to hear from any Polish person who might be following this thread.
When Trump started questioning the benefit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization it sent the Europeans into a tailspin. Trump actually considered on many occasions pulling the USA from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. At the very least he wanted the European nations to pay the minimum agreed amount which is 2% of GDP. European countries pulled out their ATM cards and started lining up to fill the NATO coffers. Even before Putin went into Ukraine not one country (to my knowledge) said no we don't want NATO. As a matter of fact, more countries wanted entry into NATO than most Europeans were willing to accept. Now that the war is in full swing NATO's popularity seems to have hit an all-time high since its inception 73 years ago. In many respects, the people of the USA would be well served to remove themselves from NATO and let it become a stand-alone European organization.
The destructive actions of Putin and NATO are forcing countries to choose sides. This inevitably never ends well. I will be amazed if we can avoid a world war in the next few years.
