There is fake news everywhere. We don't know who to believe. I am convinced that the news here is totally politically motivated and sanitized to suit the purpose. Just like in the old days back in Europe. The regime controlled what news from the "bad West" should be conveyed to the people. If it was bad, we could hear it, it was good, no.
In my time there was no reporting of crime or anything negative. Only good things were told. We lived in a paradise. That was what we had to believe. Now, we are told what they, the powers to be, want us to hear. So, why is this any different than what it used to be?
But there is a problem with this freedom of reporting. The US is reporting one thing, and other parts of the world reports other. I am not questioning what goes on in Ukraine. I know the Russians can be pretty brutal but when one watches a lot of news it can be noticed that they show the same bombed out buildings and neighborhoods over and over again.
We spoke to our families in Hungary, and they told us that there is no natural gas and gasoline shortage at all. The store shelves are full, Russian products are readily available, even vodka. They also told us that in Europe they see the situation differently. They do not like Zelensky. They blame him for stretching out this conflict. They also do not like the US and mainly Biden. He commands no respect at all.
Whatever respect he may have had he lost after Afghanistan. How can the world listen to a leader who withdraws from a country with his tail between his legs? Saudi Arabia, one of the staunchest ally America had do not even want to take his telephone call but invited the Chinese leader for a visit.
This is a kick in the balls! And he wants to solve the Ukraine crisis?
