Location data can be messy. It is a mix of VPNs, travelers, false positives, and yes—some bad actors. But an IP address alone is not proof of a foreign influence operation.

"Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" was published in *1941.* People today do not have any conception of the level of ambient poverty, malnutrition, and just general backwardness that existed in the US prior to WWII. These are people who remember the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦 Zelensky: USA is very active and Europe is very active, as are our other partners. Everyone has the same agenda, and only in Moscow does war against Ukraine remain their first priority.

Strikes like today confirm this. It is extremely important for all of us not to forget the real situation.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition
