Need to Know News (30 June 2022) with Carl Herman and Principled Vegan

The move to war with Russia grows stronger with every passing day. Biden sends US troops to the border of Ukraine, six destroyers to the Mediterranean Sea, and two F-35 squadrons to the UK. None of this is defensive but to position forces for an attack upon Russia, where, under international law, if a nation is about to be attacked, it is justified to make a peremptory strike. Do not be surprised should that happen--and soon. Meanwhile, the "woke" US military becomes weaker and weaker, where training in the use of pronouns has displaced marksmanship and none of the services can meet their recruitment quotas, even when they abolish the requirement of a high school diploma or GED. Pathetic. While the Democrats lauded the testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson, even The New York TImes has had to admit it was either old news or hearsay, much of which turns out to be false. (I am reminded of the hysterical testimony against Bret Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings of gang rape and the like, all of which was completely baseless and concocted. A new justice has been sworn in for the US Supreme Court, where i8t has yet to be determined if she has anything to contribute to the good of the nation in that role. A new Ken doll can become pregnant and even have an abortion in an hilarious parody that is all-too-close to the truth. Colin Powell appears to have died from COVID shots, which he naively took in the mistaken belief that they were "safe and effective". Sad. And Lionel Nation rants against abortion and the (perceived) absence of any constitutional grounding. While Americans attitudes toward gender are changing, they are not moving in a leftward direction.
