Glory to Ukraine
Grifters who are supposedly policy geniuses (and ones who are obviously not) advised Ukraine to try to negotiate or just outright surrender when Russia invaded. Ukrainians did not take this advice because they understood they were in an existential battle for their very existence as a people. There was no point negotiating with Russia because Russia is a bad faith actor who could not be trusted.

Will The Newly Passed Inflation Reduction Act Leads to Higher Inflation. Top Story - September 2022.
This will result in a possible 3% tax hike for individuals making under $10,000 year, but because the affluent are receiving tax credits, no one seems to mind. The Inflation Reduction Act is well known to raise taxes for everyone; in fact, the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation have both come out and said as much.

Can We Do Anything About Our Eroding Freedoms?
Freedom has been won and lost a million times over thousands of years. Small groups and large groups have attempted to define and implement freedom. Everyone you ask will assure you they can tell you what freedom is. Unfortunately, as with all things, every person has a different opinion, making a "one size fits all" definition of freedom nearly impossible. There is a plethora of components that people agree on, but no two people will ever agree on every aspect.

The U.S. Treasury Department personally came forward to type India: You should know that India's behavior will be sanctioned
The United States once tried to weave a large net of "energy blockade" to completely block Russia's oil trading channels. However, due to the protests of some EU countries, as well as the opposition of Japan, Brazil and India, this "energy blockade" network has basically been full of loopholes. Such loopholes also make the United States very unwilling, so there is a "second action". Just like India, it was beaten by the US Treasury in person.

America To Participate In Decapitation Practice
Let’s face it, some world leaders are thorns in the humanities side. There’s a cavalcade of responses that diplomats and world leaders could choose to use, but one, in particular, seems like an interesting approach. That is if you want to stir the pot.

We can't solve our domestic problems by abandoning Ukraine.
The war in Ukraine no longer dominates headlines in America. Gone are the days of Russia's rapid advance towards Kyiv only to be forcefully pushed back. Now the battle front has condensed to slower moving frontlines across Ukraine's Southeast. By concentrating their forces Russia has made itself more formidable. However, its war machine doesn't look suited for the long term. They've lost twice as many troops in the Spring of 2022 than they did in their nine year war in Afghanistan. Russia has expanded the age limits of soldiers and is sending in reservists. They've dug out antique T-62 tanks to send into battle.

Freedom Means Responsibility
Widely traveled, I say with certainty there is no better place to live than the United States (in my humble opinion). Americans have freedom to travel across the country and outside of it, at will. The pandemic over the last two years has placed some restrictions on the American people we are not used to; however, we're not oppressed nor experiencing the destruction of homes, schools, hospitals, churches, and apartment complexes. We don't have soldiers rampaging towns, raping, murdering, and committing genocide, as the Ukrainians currently are at the hands of the Russians. We can't imagine explosive mines on our streets, yet the Russians have mined the cities of Ukraine as they exit. Obviously, Putin is committing war crimes, and just like the Nuremberg trials so many years ago, those guilty should be found and tried.
