Here is an article talking about this... Ukrainian Soldiers Risk Their Lives to Keep Weapons From the Black Market They can’t track every shell, but at a time of heightened scrutiny in Washington they know they can ill afford slips with the big ticket items. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/12/world/europe/ukraine-weapons-tracking-corruption.html As far as I'm concerned, when even a small portion ends up hitting the black market, the market is being flooded. The U.S. has a bad habit of it's weapons saturating the world over. Just ask the Taliban. We (U.S.) have a long history of sending weapons to foreign countries to fight proxy wars for us. And our weapons hit the black markets during, but especially after a war is fought. The USSR had the same problem once upon a time. I'm just tired of history repeating itself over and over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch either but i can see when they are doing advocacy journalism but go ahead and pretend that's not what it is when CNN does it. Look how emotional they are, thats not news.

I have views that span the spectrum. That said, my brother is mainly a conservative. He loves the Epoch Times. I try telling him that they aren't the most trustworthy of news orgs, but he loves them too much to listen to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 11 minutes ago, aGENT said: This has nothing to do with "heart". You're attempting to deflect. Conservative governments historically run larger deficits, with short term economic gains/long term losses, all at the at the expense of short changing infrastructure and social programs. All of which overwhelmingly helps the wealthy and hurts the poor and middle class. Race to the bottom. By all means, I see why that helps YOU (at least financially), but it does not help the vast majority of Canadians, or the long term economics of the country. Nor does your myopic focus on oil (or your fellow conservatives insistence decades ago that Canada not be as prosperous from it as we could have been). That ship sailed long ago. You guys F'd that up with your short sighted selfishness. And again, that is not suggesting the Liberals have all the answers. But the conservatives DEFINITELY do not. You cannot compare Harper’s landscape to JT’s. I explained this in great detail. Both have completely different landscapes and challenges. We navigated through the finical crisis far better than the US and most of the world. Covid and the FC were equally as challenging. We were far more insulted and economically diverse back then. We are fixing to get humbled. No matter what you feel there will be a paradigm shift. This current environment isn’t sustainable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easier to list who does straight news these days rather than activism/state/advocacy news. I've even noticed Reuters getting a left lean to it and it saddens me that they are beginning to be like all of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are two different entities for one thing. You lumping them together is a cheap trick. The convoy had issues with mandates that effected their lively hood and others had different issues.

It was a plant by the liberal government, they're prone to do this type of thing and have been caught doing it numerous times. You wouldn't believe the gaslighting and and straight up lying from the state run media, sycophant CBC.

Sorry friend but your views here are craperolla. Antivaxxer truck convoy people were (still are) a serious problem to our great nation. IMHAO we need to get rid of these types. They are bad seeds.
