I would like to think we are doing something on the cyber front. I would also like it if we never read anything about it.
My thought is the more things go south for Putin in Ukraine the more likely things go south for the rest of the world. When you feel cornered or your back is against the wall sometimes “crazy” or “insane” is a little less so right?
I'd rather hear about the giant yellow and blue cocks on the desktops of the Russian military than what weapons we've sent them.
You won't. I know something is going on from my SIL, who is Army Cyber, but very hush-hush.
I’m totally ok with that. I learned a long time ago, if I’m not going to like the answer, don’t ask the question.
I don’t agree with this - I think if you turn off social media and the news and you interact with a wide variety of Americans, I think we are still a solid Country that cares about each other and the world. I think it’s very easy to jump on the fringe bandwagon on either side, if you consume social media or the news, and have a skewed view of reality. When I talk to “average” Americans across the Country, most are somewhere near the center. I still have faith in this Country to rise to meet challenges and adversity when we need to. History might prove me wrong, but I don’t think I am.
HT is the only social media I ingest.
Facts say otherwise. I mean have you followed immigration policy in the last 40 years?
I don’t disagree that if you talk to someone who watches Fox News, CNN, logs into Facebook throughout the day, then you will run into this viewpoints/ statements. Often these people are the ones who will bring whatever information they were fed the evening before right out at the start of the conversation. At least in my experience, these people are a vocal and outspoken minority. Most of the hundreds of people I interact with throughout the week are tired of those vocal minority. Most people have views near the center, falling on either side but not by a lot. Most folks agree on 85% of things dispute which side they fall on. The media and the crazy fringe people what to give the appearance that everyone is divided and angry, that’s just not what my real world experience supports. Just one persons experience/ opinion.
I live in red county in a recently purple state. I work in a liberal arts department at a nearby university. I interact with the entire spectrum and I think I tend to agree with you.
I haven’t really, but this link seems to show that we are still a nation that is open to allowing others in (not saying that we don’t have our issues and I’m not as smart as most of you)
