9th August, 2023. Tweets, videos, quotations. Contrasts to note: Col. Douglas Macgregor or Gen Ben Hedges? How important is national identity and values? What is globalism? Will European countries gradually withdraw their support for the war of attrition against Ukraine? What will be the outcome of the US elections in 2024? Interesting video concerning the anti-woke culture that is evolving in the US, Hungary, other EU countries, the UK. See Bloomberg and beer advertisement. Corruption … viewpoint that corruption in Ukraine ranks with corruption in Mexico?

A changing world.   Woke appealed to so many but now they are being forced into retreat.  The pendulum can swing too far right or left and change is ahead.  It is time now to be ahead of the curve.
