None.
I read rather well, and watch the news on the TV.
Don't watch Fox, take EVERYTHING you hear on NPR (national petroleum radio) with a grain of salt. Check references and authority of citations in support of propaganda.

"We" don't trade with China at all. Huge, multinational corporations trade with China. Why? because over there, you can pay someone 25 cents/hr to make althetic shoes that sell in the U.S. for 200 bucks.
Capitalism is grounded in sociopathy. It entails the pursuit of profit at all costs, even damage to the environment and death of countless "lesser" (poor) people. That is why the root word of capitalism is capital.
Ukrainians are racist as are most Slavs. However, I would support a racist regime in the overthrow of a MORE IMMINENTLY POWERFUL RACIST GOVERNMENT in order to stop the latters progress toward its ultimate goal. It's a "the enemy of my enemy is my (temporary) friend" thing.
It has ALWAYS been a matter of economics. Even slavery in the U.S. was based in economics.
"Our own issues": the issues of those of us without significant wealth and power, which does not matter one bit to the assholes in charge.
The problem here is "we" are not in charge. The wealthy are. 5 multinational corporations own ALL the major media in the USA. The idea of "freedom", the "free world" and "democracy" are all slogans meant to keep us enthralled in the service of a country based on the genocide of my father's ancestors and the enslavement of those of my mother.
You ever been to Russia? Because I know people who have.
Bruh you really don't know what you're talking about. You have no clue on what's at stake. You really don't.
Besides a Nuke which they won’t use they’ve already been doing that to the point they’re running out of “bombs” and begging North Korea and China for weapons in exchange for oil and technology secrets
Bruh what are you talking about? The govt has fooled you into believing who our enemies are. The military industrial complex wants to create an alter ego that you root against...even though this enemy hasn't done anything to you, this country, or anybody else. White people are trying to cling to power over the money and resources and use tools like you to push their agendaEither we support our allies or we aid our adversaries. China is keeping an eye on us to see if we show signs of weakness because they will launch an assault on Taiwan if we do.
We are the only ones preventing these communist nations from invading other nations. That will activate Article 5 once they assault a NATO country, and then we have to send troops to that region.
You really do not know what the fuck you're talking about. This shit has no repercussions on anything happening here. The Donbas region is what's in play.
Says the person who just left his shift at Walmart
Forget it bruh...cant have a grown ass man covo with ya. Been there/done that bruh
You’re a lurker who came in this thread randomly on some childish shit then you got the nerve to talk about grown man get the fuck out of here Nigga
Point is you have no real clue what’s going to you just have your opinion
No.
I know people from: Poland, Russia, and Ukraine.
All racist as fuck. It is part of the "dark slavic soul".
@rangerman:
Sometimes...
when you don't know shit...
and several other people on a porn board who DO know shit try to explain why and how you clearly don't know shit...
it might be a good idea to just sit back, have a hot, steaming cup of shut the fuck up, and read, my brutha. READ.
Just a suggestion.

Canada's House speaker resigns over inviting a man who fought for a Nazi unit to Parliament
The speaker of Canada’s House of Commons is resigning for inviting a man who fought for a Nazi military unit during World War II to attend a speech by the Ukrainian president
TORONTO -- The speaker of Canada’s House of Commons resigned Tuesday for inviting a man who fought for a Nazi military unit during World War II to Parliament to attend a speech by the Ukrainian president.
Just after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered an address in the House of Commons on Friday, Canadian lawmakers gave 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka a standing ovation when Speaker Anthony Rota drew attention to him. Rota introduced Hunka as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.
Observers over the weekend began to publicize the fact that the First Ukrainian Division also was known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, or the SS 14th Waffen Division, a voluntary unit that was under the command of the Nazis.
“No one in this House is above any of us. Therefore I must step down as your speaker,” Rota said in Parliament. “I reiterate my profound regret for my error in recognizing an individual in the House during the joint address to Parliament of President Zelenskyy.
"That public recognition has caused pain to individuals and communities, including to the Jewish community in Canada and around the world in addition to Nazi survivors in Poland among other nations. I accept full responsibility for my actions," he added.

The Peace Corps Gets Dragged For Giving Questionable Advice To Black Volunteers In Ukraine
As Blavity has previously reported, the ongoing crisis in Ukraine has revealed uncomfortable racism, with Black people fleeing the country facing discrimination in the evacuation efforts and blatant discrimination between white and non-white refugees from the Russian invasion.
That's sad, because a little research would have provided them with more information.
Once upon a tIme the Peace Corps had issued a warning to potential racist encounters that Black volunteers might experience in Ukraine on the Peace Corps website.
The Peace Corp "mysteriously" removed that page (I believe I saved it).
Diversity and Inclusion
This page contains personal stories from select Peace Corps Volunteers who served in Ukraine. They represent authentic individual experiences. They do not reflect official guidance of the agency nor the experiences of all Volunteers who serve in the country.The Peace Corps uses first-person...www.peacecorps.gov
Possible Considerations for African American or Black Volunteers
Volunteer Voices: “'People of color' face many challenges living in Ukraine, as a Peace Corps Volunteer. However, African-Americans will confront far more complicated issues. For modern parts of Ukraine, African-Americans are part of the community and day-to-day life. However, there are many Ukrainians who have never seen a Black person before. Their understanding of African-American culture is fueled by the media and African stereotypes. You will generate lots of interest and curious stares.
So, these stares can make you uncomfortable and annoyed. Ukrainians' initial perception of you may be that you are from Africa; it may not. It does help if they understand that you are an American, and the training in PST will help you consider ways that you will engage with these assumptions."
"It is not uncommon for Ukrainians to refer to African-Americans as “[N-Word]”. Volunteers of color may be called 'a monkey' or may see children’s games with Blackface. Being aware of the history of dehumanization for people of African descent may help inform where this comes from; it does not justify it. It will be at your discretion to determine the intent. No matter the intent, staff recognizes the impact that hearing that word may invoke hurt and anger. If you view it as unlearned [something the person has never been exposed to], it may be an opportunity for you to educate that person. We are here to support your successful service, and these comments and images can be a huge distraction and obstacle to you. Know that Peace Corps staff is here to support and encourage you. Do not hesitate to remove yourself from such situations. You are not expected to be subjected to such treatment. You can also find support and understand from other African-American Peace Corps Volunteers serving in Ukraine."
Any volunteer or staff member who has experienced racism can contact any Peace Corps Ukraine staff member. This can include the Program Managers, Safety and Security Manager, Director of Management and Operations, Director of Programs and Training, or Country Director.
‘It Does Not Justify It’: Peace Corps Guidance for Black Volunteers In Ukraine Causes a Stir After Being Exposed on Twitter
Some corners of social media are in an uproar over the U.S. Peace Corps guidance on handling racism in Ukraine. Peace Corps positions in Ukraine […]news.yahoo.com
I have discovered (just like Columbus) people who THINK they want things to change REALLY want things to remain the same. So unless you are being compensated, I would advise stop going back and forth with others because it’s like arguing about religion (you’re getting nowhere). Also, if it makes you feel any better just remember they need you more than you need them to retain the status quo.
But they can’t pay off everybody’s student debt or give reparations. Lmbaooo this country a fucking joke
BOTH SIDES!!!!!!
@THREAD_CRITIC You never watched the film in question and you also didn't answer the question I mentioned to you.
You sure you know what you're talking about?
That's MY president y'all!
Get em!
Get em!
Man, we gotta stop evil Putin.

Ukrainian men dragged out of nightclubs by army recruiters

A mobilisation raid before a rock concert in Kyiv - X
Ukrainian military recruiters launched targeted raids at restaurants, shopping centres and a rock concert over the weekend, detaining men and press-ganging them into the army.
“Get away from me!” one concertgoer shouted at three policemen as they pulled him towards a recruiting desk that had been set up on Friday outside the Palace of Sports in Kyiv, where Okean Elzy, a Ukrainian rock band, had been playing.
The man’s face contorted in fear as he strained against the policemen, video footage showed. Several women filmed the policemen on their smartphones, shouting: “Shame! Shame on you!”
Policemen also waited to intercept men at Goodwine, a nearby shopping centre, and Avalon, a popular restaurant, according to reports.
Eyewitnesses said the police checked all the men’s documents. Those who refused to show documents exempting them from military service, or whose documents were considered faulty, were dragged away.
Police checked the documents of young men en masse after a recent tightening of conscription laws in Ukraine - X
Under Ukraine’s martial laws, all men between the ages of 25 and 60 are eligible for the army. Men between 18 and 60 are also banned from leaving the country.
Facing a severe shortage of soldiers, Ukraine reduced the mobilisation age to 25 from 27 and scrapped an “only partially eligible” loophole in April. Punishment was also stiffened for men who did not arrive at their summons. Ukraine has also followed Russia by mobilising its prison population.
Western intelligence analysts estimate Russian casualties to stand at more than 650,000 soldiers. The data for Ukraine’s war casualties have not been released, but its casualties are estimated to be a third or a quarter of Russia’s.
Fatigue and fear of being killed on frontlines have sapped Ukrainians’ enthusiasm for signing up to fight in a war that has now lasted for more than two and a half years.
Oleksandr Danylyuk, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London, said: “Mobilisation has begun to be perceived as a one-way ticket, where the only way to end service is to die or become disabled.”
Some men are so desperate to escape mobilisation that they are risking their lives to break out of Ukraine.
In April, the country’s Border Guard Service said at least 30 men had died trying to flee the country since the start of the war, often drowning while trying to swim across fast-flowing rivers or freezing to death on mountain passes.
Russian forces have been making slow but steady progress along the frontlines in Ukraine, but on Saturday evening Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, said hisforces had secured the frontline in Russia’s Kursk region, which Ukraine invaded in August.
Prosecutors also said that they were investigating the alleged killing of nine Ukrainian soldiers captured by Russian forces in Kursk. They were allegedly stripped naked before being shot.
