Some of your impressions are mistaken, and I think you're using a lot of passive voice ("the iron curtain was created") in order to avoid assigning responsibility where it belongs. The USSR created the Iron Curtain, to keep people in when they wanted to leave.
Is the West perfect? Of course not, neither is NATO. But Russia invaded a peaceful country. Russia started a war. Russia is murdering, raping and torturing civilians. Russia is at fault.

This is russian propaganda.
For someone wearing transitions lenses, you got awfully upset when I shared my preferred pronouns.
They really, really want to see those Hunter Biden dick pics.

re: uspol
I'm not in government, but I'm not allowed to let a vendor pay for my lunch because it could appear to be unethical.
A Democratic president got impeached for a lie about a clandestine blowjob. A Republican president got a pass on trying to overthrow the government.
I think you're entitled to something stronger than opinion, at this point.
Margaret Atwood had words.

I have no words for whatโs happening in our red states. Itโs truly frightening.
Ukraine๐บ๐ฆ not going to bargain with russia over Crimea, stated Adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podoliak.
โAbout basics. The basis for real negotiations with russia is the complete withdrawal of russian armed groups beyond the internationally recognized borders of #Ukraine in 1991. Including Crimeaโ
Adding that, there is no question of any territorial concessions or bargaining of Ukraineโs sovereign rights.

'What do you do for a living?'
I eat, drink water, breathe, try to get enough sleep and exercise, and maintain my health as best I can.. And you?
I realized you were talking about weights and exercise after spending several (too many, really) seconds wondering how many extensions it would take to get to 205 pounds worth...
No one should ever be forced to abort a wanted pregnancy. No one should ever be forced to surrender a wanted baby.
No one should ever be forced to endure an unwanted pregnancy. No one should ever be forced to bear an unwanted baby.
It really is that simple.

The KKK, the Proud Boys, the 3%, the militias - not classed as terrorist organizations, because white people can't be terrorists. They can be "disturbed lone gunman", or "mentally ill radicalized person".
Good morning, friends. ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ
It's Friday and I know it's 5 PM somewhere so enjoy.
Yesterday, I had lunch with some of my former coworkers. Hmmm ... I started to use the work "old" instead of "former," but some of them are indeed not old. Okay, my train is trying to jump the track. Oops, there it goes.
I used to look forward to weekends, sometimes. My old job would often require me to work up to 20 days without a weekend break. During those times I would joke that "Thank God it's Friday. I did this with a smile because other than the weird hours, it was a pretty good job. When actual "take a break," weekends came they were usually pretty long, sometimes several days. I have to say, the anticipation of a weekend was usually much more exciting than the actual weekend.

Another economic success story from the Biden Administration๐: The prime-age employment rate is now higher than the pre-recession peak.
And it did so in record time, despite starting from a lower base.
It's been a historically rapid and complete recovery. Took over 12 year to get back to pre-recession peak following the Great Recession -Skanda Amarnath
And yet, somehow, the people who publish economic stories are still beating the drum for recession, and issuing memos to companies they invest in and control that there must be layoffs to offset this recession they're talking about.
Recessions are good for Republican politicians and the oligarchs who control them.
