Russian media isn't blocked, but it has been deplatformed in many places. I think RT is still on LBRY. You can still get (for example) https://www.youtube.com/@Firstpostt on YouTube (not Russian, but Indian which is pro-Russian these days).

I laughed when the Pentagon said that the casualty numbers appear to have been modified in the recent leak, the ones that were leaked as photographs.

I can't remember a time when the US lied more frequently to it's own people. I know they are doing it strategically (noble lies), but too frequently and not good enough so the net result is just a massive loss of trust. And sometimes it feels like they have contempt for the citizens.

That doesn't mean I accept the Russian viewpoint either. Not entirely. And I definitely don't think Russia or China are better governments, the are a highly corrupt oligarchy and an authoritarian dictatorship respectively. But not as bad (talking to their citizens) as those labels would lead you to believe.

And the idea that the Dollar is about to crash is, well, not realistic. Yes, the world is moving to multipolarity and the dollar will lose it's status over time, but these things won't happen quickly. For example Saudi Arabia pegs it's currency to the dollar, and holds huge numbers of US bonds, they don't want their own wealth to collapse, so they will move out gently over time. What's amazing is how openly they have declared their intentions though, the crown prince, but also so many other countries aligning with the BRICS and refusing to sanction Russia. I see it as a commitment to the beginning of a new direction that will take some time to come about.
