Michael, I have to believe that one of the reasons you read and post on CM’s blog is that you are somewhat mistrusting of the main/maniacal stream media. Don’t you think that a lot of the Anti-Chinese especially but also anti-Russian coverage of late is somewhat bogus and appears to be manufactured similar to the Saslisbury novichok poisonings which you have stated elsewhere you disbelieve? Why are you so keen on AUKUS which represents more unnecessary military build-up and spending, money that probably could do more for ordinary people elsewhere?
