  1. America took the bait .

  2. Not thrilled about these new wars, having lost the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but at least we won the battles and took down Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. Having a proxy war with Russia and China over Ukraine and a minor war with Iran in 2023 just will fill up the agenda for the USA military. It is amazing that it marks 20 years since the invasion of Iraq and now we have new conflicts and wars on the way. Unfortunately the war on terror was never going to be over and it is something we have to fight to protect the United States and the world from ISIS, Al-Qaida, Hamas, Hezbollah and other radical Islamic Jihadists. Although the USA historically has won majority of its wars with rare stalemates at least 10 wars have been lost in history including the last one's in Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. I think President Biden is doing a much better job in the Ukraine vs Russia war then the failure and embarrassing loss in Afghanistan to the Taliban.

    Almost 2 billion Muslims in the world, 3 million of them in the US, and yet NBC decides to ignore any mention of Islamic celebrations and holidays like Ramadan, the month of fasting. ABC and CBS are surprisingly ahead in this area, why not NBC? No mention of it on the Today Show, and yet a few weeks ago they mentioned the festival of Holi, a Hindu celebration. What happened NBC?
