Some inconvenient History:
Putin didn’t destroy Afghanistan, the US & NATO did
The USSR invaded Afghanistan, in 1979. and retreated in 1989. An estimated 2 million Afghan civilians were killed. The USSR invaded to save the ruler they had installed.
I'm not defending our miserable presence in Afghanistan.
Putin didn’t destroy Yugoslavia, the US & NATO did
Yougoslavia was on it's way to internal genocide and self destruction, when theUS and NATO intervened. Yougoslavia was made up of 6 States. After Tito died, in 1980, the country began tearing it's self apart.
Serbs had dominated Yugoslavia since the end of WW II. They dominated the other states. They were hated. Added to the hatred between the various groups, a religious war broke out between Christians and the large Muslim population. The situation was chaotic.
I have no doubt the the US-NATO intervention saved lives.
Putin didn’t destroy Syria, the US & NATO did
Putin's Russia had ground troops and his air force, in Syria. They did lots of destruction.. Putin's wound up with a Syrian seaport, where he has Russian warships stationed in the Mediterranean Sea.
This kind of crap is put out by Blame America Firsters and I'll deride every chance I get.

I LOVE Route 66. In 1953 ( I was 16), Mom, Dad & I drove our spark'n new Olds 98, from Oklahoma City(is mighty pretty) to LA. I can still feel the excitement of Amarillo, Albuquerque, Gallup, Flagstaff, Barstow, Pomona, San Bernadino and the Pacific Ocean.
Hollywood, Knotts Berry Farm, Signal Hill.
I also remember our shock and looking down at LA.s smog , as we approached San Bernadino.
Man! Did I ever get some kicks on Route 66!

I saw a Little Rascals movie, about 20 years ago, that I'm sure has been Woked.About6 of The Rascals wanted to walk acrosstown. They saw a truck headed that way, stopped at a red light.
All but the little Black kid got aboard. He was chasing the truck, as it pulled away.
"Run faster, Run faster" shouted the Rascals.
" I couldn't run no faster, if dat truck wuz full of watermelons!"

I've wondered if today's Americans could have won the Resolutory War. IMO, not likely.
I did some research into what those people were like and what their experience were. First of all, the people that boarded those sailing ships, out of Britain, France, Span and Holand were not pansies.
It took strong people to set sail, for a weeks long voyage to The New World. They had little idea what they were getting into. I did a word search for "Indian & Settler massacres.
I came up with a Wiki table, of massacres, of at least 5 people. The table began with Cortez, landing, in Mexico. I read the table, up to 1776. I was astounded at how many massacres, there were.
The Spanish were far worse than other Europeans. There were many massacres of several hundred, to a a few thousand. One prolonged massacre took the lives of 10,000 to 40,000 natives..
In the time covered, little but America's eastern seaboard had been settled. Beginning in the early 1600s, scores of attacks were made by both sides. The killing of more than a hundred was common.
If you read the Wiki table, note how often it says "captives were sold into slavery"
Not only did Europeans steal their land and slaughter them, they were sold as slaves. Where are the cries for Indian Reparations?
The men that stood at Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill Got there the hard way.
God Bless America.

Thanks for the nostalgia, Gmen. Television came into my life, in 1950 @ 13. Howdy Doody ansd Smile'n Ed McConel were my staples. I was out of high school, in 1955, but I was a Dad by 1956. Most of those cartoons remained a part of my life
By far--my favorite and still is.

Anti-American propaganda from presstv.ir:
presstv.ir is operated by Iran's government
he director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has warned that the United States is planning to stage new false-flag operations,--
We can be sure that the Russian Intelligence Service Director, is giving us the World News, according to Vladimir Putin.
Funny. Not a ward about Russia's military presence, in Syria.

The Entire Wind Energy Industry Could Be Facing Serious Technical Problems
John Hugh DeMastri on July 3, 2023
https://dailycallernewsfoundation.org/2023/07/03/the-entire-wind-energy-industry-could-be-facing-serious-technical-problems/
The high-profile announcement by Siemens Energy that a large portion of its wind turbines could be suffering from faulty components sent its stock tumbling last week, but many industry experts are concerned that the problems it is facing may not be unique, CNBC reported Monday.
The company announced on June 22 that between 15% and 30% of turbines installed by subsidiary Siemens Gamesa are currently suffering from component failure, prompting the company to withdraw profit estimates and sending stock plunging 36% in the immediate aftermath of the announcement. Christian Burch, CEO of Siemens Energy, said in a call with reporters Friday that “too much had been swept under the carpet” at the energy giant’s subsidiary and that the quality control issues were “more severe than [he] thought possible,” according to CNBC.
“We have to acknowledge that putting brand new machinery — whether it’s on-shore or even more difficult off-shore wind farms — and the pace of change in that machinery has put us into slightly uncharted territory,” Nicholas Green, head of EU capital goods and industrial technology at AllianceBernstein, told CNBC. “Although it’s hard to tell at the moment, my best guess is that this probably actually is an industry-wide issue. It wasn’t that Siemens Gamesa is a bad operator as such, it’s that actually some of the normal protocols and time in use, operational data in use, is relatively limited.”
The sheer size of modern turbines — cutting-edge prototypes can generate 15 megawatts (MW) of power, compared to the 1 MW that was industry standard 20 years ago — can exacerbate quality issues, Christoph Zipf, spokesman for European industry group WindEurope, told CNBC. Despite this, Zipf said that turbine failures are “extremely rare” and that “the problems at Siemens Gamesa are limited to Siemens Gamesa,” CNBC reported.
However, he noted that “the competition in the sector is pushing [original equipment manufacturers] to come up with bigger and better turbines at a fast rate, maybe faster than in other sectors,” according to CNBC. While turbines are often certified for a 20-year lifespan, most turbines contain components that will fail during that time as a cost-saving measure, industry analytics firm ONYX Insights told CNBC.
“We have been aware for some time that turbine failure rates across the industry can — and should — be more widely understood, given the scale of their potential impact on the overall profitability of projects,” Evgenia Golysheva, vice president of strategy and marketing at ONYX, told CNBC. “It’s not that they are made badly, but we now have a compromise between the cost of energy and targeted reliability. Everyone who builds, finances and operates wind turbines needs to have a realistic picture of how many failures to expect.”
ONYX expects that the industry will spend $4 billion on major repair projects by 2029, and notes that roughly 65% of maintenance costs in the industry are unplanned, CNBC reported.
“It’s a conversation that is overdue, because the underlying issues aren’t going away,” Golysheva told CNBC.
