Morning Joke had a headline "chaos" also today...

...but they showed people shopping at a market, a women standing on a street corner, and traffic driving around. No gunfire, soldiers, or riots.

Maybe things will get worse, but the video didn't look like "chaos".

I wonder when they'll find a new word. It's starting to sound lot like the RWNJ networks on all channels. I guess it's just too much for the corporate class when a money fountain get cut off. War is very profitable and those who were profiting from this endless war were counting on it never ending. Hit dogs will holler.

It's rather disappointing to see that, after all this time, some of the news companies fall right in line to pile on trying to continue to promote an already exposed lie.
