    American exceptionalism is just a concept, either you buy it or you don't. Exceptional in many ways as most European/American nations are. Exceptionally white. The 'others' buy into another form of exceptionalism. Cultural and moral exceptionalism, the liberal common folk that is.

    Capitalism began as sales and trade and was considered a 'moderately' honorable pursuit. The balance swanged in the nations that had the resources to squander and then hoard by the most exceptional, exceptionally f*cked up. Ownership and wealth then became King and its moral underpinnings conversely became morally bereft and completely lacking ethical fiber.

    Capitalism is only fucked up, not broken. For the last century, society has been staring the solution in the face. The guillotine for the Kings and a few potatoes for the rank-and-file.

    You have numerous choices though, Fred...

    Well, yeah, I guess you could call that balance. But I'm not interested in alt right douchebags counterbalancing the Pentagon mouth pieces.

    How about just what's really going on minus the agendas?

    Over here in Belgium, the media are doing what they do best, which is selling drama with a pro-western and anti-intellectual slant.

    It reminds me of how the glorious invasions of Iraq and Libya were presented, but opposite. Righteous when we do it, the most heinous act ever when someone else does it, and think no further than that.

    Oh, and not to mention if you have your own ideas about it, there's something terribly wrong with you.

    Ukraine says it’s pushed Russian troops right back to the border near the city of Kharkiv.

    Ukrainian forces have been counter attacking and retaking territory in the north-east of the country in recent days.

    The city of Izyum – known as the Gateway to Donbas – sits above the main body of Ukrainian forces holding back Russia's eastern push.

    Yes I do have my take on things. And no I don't think the western media has a firm objective grip on this thing.

    At the same time, I do often hear that there's something odd in the way I view the world.
    That said. the victors will write the history and the voices of the odd ones out will eventually get lost in the anals of time.

    I think with age I learn to care less about my take, what it represents and it's intrinsic value.
    Something like that..
    Have a great day today

    The development of Hypersonic missiles opens the door to a new arms race. Where competing countries develop weapons that cannot be countered by current defence systems. Are these weapons too dangerous to have?
