He's not. He's waiting tables and taking orders.

In competitive states, he won by only 43k votes as opposed to the many more votes he won by in the popular vote. In other words, had those votes been cast differently, the electoral college would be very different

Israel doesn't really need the aid. They're doing just fine militarily

I don't really have a guide anywhere, but there are a number of them on the web. One of the OSINT powerhouses is BellingCat. They make finished products. There's https://liveuamap.com/en for a map on the RU/UA war. Oryx is a good estimate for equipment losses there (I bet you can tell where my interests lie) I'd recommend getting to know some of these finished products first. That, and reading about the history of where you are looking at. Learning about the politics of Coal? Read some books about it. Get some perspectives. Want to know about the Isreal/Palestine conflict? Get to know the last 100 years of conflict since the Ottoman Empire fell

There's a real big difference in bits and bites investigating and actual finished products. A lot of the tools out there are for getting these bits and bites like https://osintframework.com/. One can buy commercial satellite photos, but those are expensive. They're usually already bought by people on Twitter anyway. Putting together products is the hard part though, and there are quite a few pitfalls that one can fall into between unreliable sources and deceptive imagery persuasion or DIP. Ryan McBeth is a great source to look at to help you spot this sort of thing.

I suggest getting into the world of OSINT. There's a lot that can be learned there, and many sources are independent of any government.

True. Al Jazeera is a Qatari state run media enterprise. They're pretty reliable on news on things outside the Middle East, but tend to have a massive bias when it comes to matters of Qatar's interests.

It has to do with Christianity. Many Christians believe that Christ will come back raising the dead and restoring their bodies

Very true. Russia doesn't care what the US house thinks. They started the war after all. Russia continues to mobilize the war machine while the US fails to act decisively

I mean, if ~~Twitter~~ X keeps changing like it is, there will be a whole bunch of differences
