The DEMISE of TWITTER ? - Freedom Curtailed ?

Guardian: Reports " Twitter to promote only paying users’ tweets, Elon Musk announces.....From 15 April, ‘For you’ tab that curates popular posts will feature just Twitter Blue subscribers  "

Lets Get Real:

Is this the end of Twitter as the public square of the World, charging will not help those poor people who suffer from harsh regimes, they might not have the money and the Government will know were your direct debit is going.  One understands you do not become the richest man in the World by doing things for FREE, you want to make you money back, Mr M did not use his last $ to buy twitter, if I recall it cost 44 billion, not the kind of money you get from behind your couch.   Thus those with the money will run twitter, form the left to the right, younger and tech smart individuals will use other platforms that do not charge, but even then this blog expects Mr M to make his money back, that is the way of the World.   Next it will be Facebook, money runs the WORLD, Adam Smith would be proud. 

German Tanks in the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Ukraine war: Germany sends much-awaited Leopard tanks....Challenger 2 tanks from the UK have also arrived, according to reports from Ukraine.  "

Lets Get Real:

The expected Ukraine offensive against the Russians should be ready in a few weeks, when the West has supplied all the tanks they have promised then the Kyiv Government  can take the fight to the Russians, thus Russian offensive has stalled, the inch by inch taking of the Russians has been stalled by the brave action of the Ukraine Forces, in their trench's, with Drones and in their old Soviet Fighter Jets.  The West needs to send modern Western Fighter jets to the Ukraine, the Russians have moved tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, this is sabre rattling by Putin, he has nothing else in the shed, in many ways the Russian Army is a busted flush, it has shown that it has bad generals, that it has bad strategy and is WEAK when it counts.  This is the time for the West and the Ukraine to smash Russia, push it back over the border and retake Crimea.  There can only be one winner, and that is the Ukraine.
