    I had no intention in the initial tread to bring Trump in to the discussion.
    Yes, I was critical of admin, and voiced an opinion that projecting weakness that Putin and China are exploiting it, that's all.
    Since I do watch international news channels and read international news commentaries, it is expert analysts on channel 9+ and guest speakers
    from UK, Ukraine and US etc., very unbiased, they make sure to show all sides of the situation, and have guests debating on air. But it's one of many sources for the info.
    In Israel, the people love President Biden are very thankful for the US support and hard work of Anthony Blinken and the rest of the administration, and also remember Trump and his good work, it goes back all the way to Carter and further back.
    Even if I read mostly US news sources, I do allocate time for international sources as well.

    Plus, it's reasonable to assume that Putin isn't necessarily receiving the most honest information with which to make decisions.

    A Russian submarine that just left Cuba is 'falling apart' with its soundproofing panels falling off.

    • Russian naval ships left Cuba on Monday after a five-day official visit.

    • Among them, the submarine Kazan — with visible damage including panels falling off.

    • Though a shabby look, it won't affect the sub's performance, experts told BI.
    One of Russia's most advanced new submarines, which just left Cuba, is "falling apart" with damage on its hull, according to an OSINT analyst.

    Marijn Markus, a managing consultant at the Capgemini IT firm, shared four photos of the nuclear-powered Kazan in a LinkedIn post on Monday.

    Markus pointed to soundproofing panels "falling off" the front part of the submarine's hull. That would ruin its stealth capabilities, he said, making it "very" loud underwater and causing it to light up on sonar.

    He also pointed to what he described as a "gaping" hole at the sub's midsection.

    "While docked, Russian divers were seen around the sub, presumably trying to repair the tin tub," he said.

    Markus didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

    Retired four-star Army Gen. Jack Keane explained on that the growing alliance between Russia, China, North Korea and Iran is becoming more dangerous for the United States.
    Senior strategic analyst said the country has not seen a threat this serious since World War II, which should be communicated to the people more effectively.

    While it's not new, it's more official and demonstrative, desperate Russian leadership can be more dangerous.

    "The intelligence chiefs said this is very serious. We haven't seen it in decades. We're saying we haven't really seen anything like this since World War II. Where is the administration having a frank conversation with the American people about the seriousness of this threat and how it would impact American security? It is not happening, and that is pretty outrageous and shameful.
