Can't help it but just smile the way things are in this world. We live in very interesting and peculiar times. I am European, my family is European. We take a deep interest in how things proceed and how things will turn out. Listening to other than American news outlets I am convinced that the news we hear is sanitized to suit the American public. That is akin to censorship.
News coming to Europe paints a different picture on the Ukrainian events. At one point they said that Zelensky did not want to talk to Biden saying that after the Afghan fiasco he did not think Biden was the right person to give advice. In Europe they openly blame America for these current events. Unfortunately, we got to a point where it will not be safe for an American to walk the streets of Europe. It's a shame.
Biden, hat in hand is trying to revive soured relationships in order to compensate the loss of Russian oil. He is already in talks with Venezuela and attempted to talk to the king of Saudi Arabia. The shame was that the king apparently did not take Biden's call. Now, that is a slap in the face!
The US unfortunately has less and less prestige in this world. Our military is not much to brag about, our president and other political leaders have absolutely zero reputation. The only pull this country might have is on the money front.
This country is deeply involved in policing the world. Got involved in almost every affair since WWII, but won very little. Actually only the Kuwait war and the Grenada affair was won by American military. Not much to brag about. Kuwait was a fairly serious war. Grenada was occupied by Cuba and when the Americans landed to liberate the Grenadians they only found three drunk Cuban soldiers who were more than happy to give up.
