Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but ......
I can't seem to find any 'Readers Comments' on main stream media articles. I could be wrong but if anyone knows of 'Comments Allowed' to current world affairs on any MSM (CNN, ABC, BBC etc.) I'd sure appreciate that link.
I don't mean the 'Baby Section' or the 'DIY section or Sports Page' etc. but current world news articles that concern everyone.
I enjoy reading the comments on current events made by the 'man in the street'. Those comments are non existent these days or am I mistaken?
“I know what awaits us. As soon as Vladimir Putin has done his work in Seversk, Bakhmut and Soledar, after reaching the second line Slaviansk-Kramatorsk-Avdeevka, he will come up with a proposal, then all hell will break loose,” he predicted, without providing any details onhe would-be initiative.
The Serbian president also offered the reminder that his nation maintains close relations with Russia and China, adding that pursuing such policies does not come easy for Belgrade right now.
Proposal????
Treat others as you would like to be treated.
When you have the urge to go out and look for a fight in a bar rather than staying at home with a confrontational machete wielding woman, choose going on a sea fishing boat trip.
This way only the fish is in danger.
That's how I stay out of trouble.
Have a great day.

I think sanctions is going to make Russia more resilient and wont work at all.
JMO
I recall sanctions against SA.
Cut the Fuel... We made fuel out of coal.
Cut the weapons... We manufactured weapons for the export market.
SA was even a Nuclear Power, not to mention the best defence force on the globe. (relatively speaking)
The list goes on and on.
Even our currency was stronger.
The UN banned all imports of fresh fruit from SA. What a joy for the locals
Sanctions make a country stronger.
JMO.
Had a kiddies meal today at McDonald's. The meal was quite nice as well as the atmosphere in the restaurant, well that was until the kiddies mother had an anger attack and gave me a whopper on my eye....
Timed myself today.
Takes a 5 minute walk from my home to the bar.
Takes 35 minutes from the bar to my home.
The difference is staggering.

At times I'm quite happy to be in the most southern tip of Africa
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia has successfully tested the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, saying the weapon capable of carrying nuclear charges will make the Kremlin’s enemies “think twice”. The Sarmat – dubbed Satan 2 by Western analysts – is among Russia’s next-generation missiles that Putin has called “invincible”, and which also include the Kinzhal and Avangard hypersonic missiles.
one of America’s preferred methods of confronting its adversaries is to ‘wage war by proxy’ against them, that is, to support the war of a group or country against a rival without militarily engaging themselves.
The history of the Cold War is littered with such examples, such as America’s backing of the Mujahideen against the Soviets in Afghanistan, its assistance to Saddam Hussein against Iran in the Iran-Iraq War, or, on a more contemporary note, its failed attempt to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad via local rebels.
Proxy wars allow the US to minimize its own losses by having someone else die for its aims while also procuring geopolitical gain by undermining rival states, at the same time maximizing profits for the military-industrial complex by keeping the arms flowing.

More and more scholars estimate that the possibility of a new worldwide ?onflict are getting higher
The Russian-Ukrainian armed conflict has become protracted, making the world a more dangerous place. On the surface, it is a military struggle between Kiev and Moscow's forces in the western and southern theaters. However, in essence, it's a total outbreak of a Cold War-esque confrontation in Eastern Europe, and it is also a full-scale counterattack by Russia against the endless strategic expansion of the US and its NATO military bloc.
Despite not formally sending troops, the US and NATO have used almost all means of mixed warfare such as financial sanctions, an information blockade, intelligence support, satellite navigation, and air and space technology to comprehensively strangle Russia.
In the almost two months since the conflict began, the West has imposed more than 5,000 sanctions on Russia, which is 50% more than the US has imposed on Iran over the past 40 years. More military assistance and financial sanctions from the NATO states are still on the way. This is undoubtedly adding fuel to the flames, stimulating Russia to fight back more. In particular, President Joe Biden’s words about his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin leaving power have made Moscow see this as a threat to its survival.
More and more scholars estimate that the possibility of the outbreak of World War III is increasing, and have even concluded that this could lead to a nuclear war. The situation is moving in the direction of global disaster. Putin cannot tolerate failure, and Biden is unwilling to give up, which will could compel Russia to use nuclear weapons.
Besides war, more disasters are happening. The war has displaced millions of Ukrainian farmers from their homes and led them to miss the spring sowing season, resulting in a decline in Ukrainian agricultural exports. Ukraine was previously one of the world’s important exporters of agricultural products, with its wheat and corn respectively accounting for 10% and 15% of the globe's exports of these staple crops. Fourteen countries are more than 25% dependent on Ukrainian wheat imports. They include Libya at 43% and Bangladesh at 28%. Without adequate affordable import substitutes, cities in some developing countries are likely to face a severe famine.
Food shortages and the rise in energy prices, caused by the fighting, have limited the production of more and more countries. The US, the EU, Argentina, and Turkey have experienced serious price increases, and the inflation rate in Europe and the US has reached its highest in 40 years. If we continue, will Elon Musk’s prediction of an economic crisis “maybe happening around spring or summer 2022, but no later than 2023” become a fulfilled prophecy?
Totalitarianism Definition
Often regarded as the most extreme form of authoritarianism, totalitarianism is generally identified by dictatorial centralized rule dedicated to controlling all public and private aspects of individual life, to the benefit of the state, through coercion, intimidation, and repression. Totalitarian states are typically ruled by autocrats or dictators who demand unquestioned loyalty and control public opinion through propaganda distributed via government-controlled media. An even darker description of living under totalitarianism comes from George Orwell’s classic dystopian novel 1984, when the main character Winston Smith is told by Thought Police interrogator O’Brien, “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever.”
