It is up to Russia how long the war lasts. This isn’t like a conflict where if you pull the US out that ends the war.

The article mentions Republicans. I didn’t see that they would police online content—that would be up to the social media companies. The government can’t compel them to remove it without running into first amendment issues. I’m not sure how they intend to “counter” so I oppose it until I find out more.

And 1 in 5 that are infected develop a mental health issue which I can’t afford to have. I have vaccinated and wear mask even though it is uncomfortable being the only one wearing one.
