If I was giving advice to anyone the CIA tries to recruit abroad, or tempted to work with the US military, or otherwise rely on the honor of the representatives of the US abroad, I would advise to run the other way. Why should anyone trust our government to abide by their commitments, and even if you can trust the people you have currently, a change in administration can mean instant reversal with total betrayal of any previous assurances. Our politicians don't even stand by our own, look at the Benghazi disaster. Sorry, Ukraine, wish you the best Israel, and I hope that the fine citizens of Taiwan have been taking note... People criticize Zelensky for his efforts at gaining and retaining Western support, but look at who he has to try to convince!

It’s very interesting speaking with Canadian citizens. They are so polite when in groups that they all genuflect to each other and never disagree about anything Canadian.

When you are in a conversation one on one, they tell you their honest opinions. Like waiting 2 years for health procedures that eventually prove sub standard. They ask honest questions about Trump and why he has as many supporters as he does. Then listening to the answers without interruptions or meltdowns. Admitting that Trudeau is a nitwit and his policies are catastrophic is frequently brought up after the Trump explanations.

Yet, here we are in America, chasing the Canadian social agenda? I’ve read repeatedly, the USA is 2 years behind them with the same programs.

Our Legacy Media is supporting the knuckleheads that are pushing these policies and, sadly, our teachers have stopped teaching critical thinking. So we will continue to spin to lower standards of education and correspondingly lower standards of living.

At this point the royal family are the Kardashian's of Great Britain. Frankly who cares.

Biden taking Bibi to the woodshed! Biden also told reporters that when he was alone with Putin that he told Putin “You have no soul” to which Putin replied “We understand each other!” Since when did Biden start speaking Russian since no interpreter was present?

Interesting, I never heard that one, but if Biden repeated the exchange, did he understand that Putin just turned the insult right back on him (as I read it)? "takes one to know one" is what we used to say.
