Kazakhstan is a hot-spot and so is Mozambique. Both at the same time. Though different social /economic issues are at play.

It is clear to everyone that NATO is not an organization where good fairies rule the ball and pink ponies walk. Rather, on the contrary, it is a completely unpredictable organization that at any moment can pull another bottle of laundry detergent out of its sleeve and declare that it threatens the security of the whole world. That's why we want written guarantees. Although, all these guarantees are not worth the paper on which they will be written. Nevertheless, there will be at least some official document, and not just words. You are great masters of throwing words to the wind there, but you do not know how to follow this word.More geo-political not being covered fully here in the US:

Mainstream media is very selective about the news we all hear.
It's not an open forum, as many citizens think. Every country has their own version of the news.

Interesting post from a member of the Danish press (I posted the translation below):
For ALMOST two years, we - the press and the population - have been almost hypnotically preoccupied with the authorities' daily coronatal. And we have been given the significance of the pendulum's smallest movements laid out by experts, politicians and authorities, who have constantly warned us about the dormant corona monster under our beds. A monster just waiting for us to fall asleep so it can strike in the gloom and darkness of the night. THE CONSTANT mental alertness has worn down tremendously on all of us. That is why we - the press - must also take stock of our own efforts. And we have failed. WE HAVE NOT been big enough at the garden gate when the authorities had to demand answers as to what it actually meant that people are hospitalized with corona and not because of corona. Because it makes a difference. A big difference. Exactly, the official hospitalization numbers have been shown to be 27 percent higher than the actual figure for how many there are in the hospital, simply because they have corona. We only know that now. OF COURSE, it is first and foremost the authorities who are responsible for informing the population correctly, accurately and honestly. The figures for how many are sick and dead from corona should, for obvious reasons, have been published long ago, so we got the clearest picture of the monster under the bed. IN ALL, the authorities 'and politicians' messages to the population in this historic crisis left to wish. And therefore they lie as they have ridden when parts of the population lose confidence in them. ANOTHER example: The vaccines are consistently referred to as our 'superweapon'. And our hospitals are called 'super hospitals'. Nevertheless, these super-hospitals are apparently maximally pressured, even though almost the entire population is armed with a super-weapon. Even children have been vaccinated on a huge scale, which has not been done in our neighboring countries. IN OTHER words, there is something here that does not deserve the term 'super'. Whether it's the vaccines, the hospitals, or a mixture of it all, is every man's bid. But at least the authorities' communication to the population in no way deserves the term 'super'. On the contrary.
