Total cost of the construction and maintenance of The Berlin Wall over its existence … 481 million USD. Just sayin’ …

Actually…no pants for the Navy seems to fall right in line with the woke agenda anyway. We’ll be getting our full-on LGBT armed forces PDQ. With friends like this…who needs enemas?

Sent pants link to my nephew who is in the Navy at Virginia. He said he’s training the next generation of sailors and he’s not even 30 years old.
Aug 19. He said hadn’t heard or seen any thing about it, news to him. Other articles on the site seemed like anti military propaganda IMO.

“Idiocracy” is too kind . . . We need a word for “rule by the self-interested and malicious.”
The entire site. military.com smell like a dead mackerel on the beach. It is not endorsed by any of the branches of US military, but has pages for data mining for future “recruits”. Author of the piece Konstantin Toropin and his social media imprint is even more suspicious. This website and their agents are to me a sophisticated pieces of Kremlin propaganda.

… ALL “news” as is, is to be taken ALWAYS with the caveat “If true …” Humor is very often possible if one allows every premise posited to be taken as True. After all, we are expected to baaahhh-lieve every item presented by the “News” as “news” and to baaahhh-lieve that it is in fact “news” and that it is True. In addition, we are to baaahhh-lieve that any and all “argument(s)” and or “fact(s)” offered /given as “evidence” in support of the argument are True regardless of their ability to be proved True or their fallaciousness and lack of validity and or soundness.
Hence … the Reductio (of sorts) argument (of sorts) with the given as True premisses.
P1: It is reported that the US funneled 3.9B USD though a number of entities ultimately ending up in the World Bank to be laun… er… ah… “placed on pallets and HERRKA stretch wrapped” and airlift*… er … ah … “loaned?” to Ukraine so that the US could somehow claim that it is not sending additional direct aid to Ukraine.
P2: It is reported that the Navy can no longer maintain an adequate supply of pants for its members. Obviously, since money was sent by the US destined for Ukraine via The World Bank at approximately the same time that it is reported that the Navy was out of pants, the money sent to the World Bank were the funds that should have been used to acquire the lower portions of their uniforms.
Conclusion: Indirect funding of Ukraine by the US results in no pants for the Navy.

I for one never have believed that cold war has ever ended. There is plenty of Russian disinformation in the west especially in US in present day, as much as US disinformation in Russia and post-soviet republics. Discernment, discernment, discernment.
Agree. The Information War never stopped, too many jobs on the line, especially since civilians were granted access to the Internet. It was literally an explosion not unlike a nuclear bomb.

So I guess because our information (news, books, magazines, Internet etc.) is filtered to allow only what is wanted dispersed, then only in fragments, and we know longer have many investigative journalists the reader is required to piece the pieces together to come up with their own understanding of what, why, where…
… Bill, I think the situation regarding “information” is in fact much, much worse than you describe.
I knew I was wasting my time trying to figure things out😂.
