Now you have a bit more insight into the mindset of China and Putin's Russia, when it comes to North Korea. A place where they can get some of the best minds from the internet world that most of us have never seen and probably never will.

Here's the problem again.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, who has developed a reputation for making the occasional gaffe, went viral again on Wednesday — but this time, the error was not his.
A deceptively edited video, appearing to show him embracing the white nationalist cultural idea that the US’s identity is the product of its early white European immigrants, was shared repeatedly on social media. The only issue? The 13-second clip, picked from a December 30 speech in New Hampshire, was part of Biden’s critique of that European culture.
“Our culture is not imported from some African nation, or some Asian nation,” Biden says in the clip. “It’s our English jurisprudential culture. Our European culture.” It sounds like a line more likely to be heard at Trump rally, or an alt right protest, but the context of the comments was lost in a creative edit.
In actuality, Biden was talking about American culture allowing sexual violence to continue unchecked. He argued that rape culture has descended from English legal permissiveness toward sexual violence and violence against women before detailing his own role in trying to change that culture.
“We finally got a lot passed through when the secretary of education, who was a great guy that I worked with and others, under Title IX,” Biden said in his speech. “Then along came Betsy DeVos and ended it. Folks, this is about changing the culture. ... It’s not imported from some African nation, or some Asian nation. It’s our English jurisprudential culture. Our European culture.”

Yeah, I saw this. It's a reminder that there are bad actors on the left too and that we need to be critical of everything we see and read.
Biden is a bad candidate, but this was a bad smear.

Didn't feel like starting another thread, so here's the latest from Russia according to Reuters.
On Saturday, a Reuters witness saw a tailback of dozens of ambulances queuing outside a hospital handling coronavirus cases in the region immediately outside Moscow, waiting to drop off patients.
One ambulance driver said he had been waiting 15 hours outside the hospital to drop off a patient suspected of having the virus.
However, they are only reporting 13,500 cases and 100 deaths...........'nuff said.
Stay safe and healthy.

ALL countries' leaders are lying about the numbers.
