One of the biggest problems on the internet today is equalisation. Our politics is falling off a cliff, but let’s give both sides. On the one hand, it’s bad to fall off a cliff. But on the other hand, surely there must be something good about falling off a cliff?

Not necessarily free & fair. Greg Palast has the numbers. Millions of voters were disenfranchised. Harris should have won. Also--weird stats in swing states show Trump votes suddenly greater than Harris votes after tabulator vote threshold. www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-v...

President Vladimir Putin escalated a tense showdown with the West on Thursday, saying that Russia had launched a new intermediate-range ballistic missile at Ukraine in response to Ukraine’s recent use of American and British weapons to strike deeper into Russia. nyti.ms/3YWXvlH

Russia openly invaded Ukraine on the assumption that the Western response would be weak. Since then, each time Russia escalates it's also on the assumption that the Western response will be weak. Weakness and indecision cause escalation, not forcefulness and decisiveness. ©️Danylo Mokryk (twitter)
