 Anti-war and American Conservative

    Have you ever noticed in the mainstream news that you don't hear about anti-war? You might be wondering why that is, well let me tell you.  If you are seeking to find more information on anti-war you may need to dive deeper into Google and find sources that you may not use in your day-to-day life. It is always important to look for multiple sources since you might not be aware of which one is telling you the truth and which is not. I know for me I have never seen, nor heard of the anti-war website so for me to read what I did was quite interesting in my opinion. As you may see and hear today, most information spread in all mainstream and the voices of some are not heard because if someone does not like one person's opinion, then they do not wanna hear more of it. If you see any mainstream news platforms promoting anti-war, then they will probably be told that they can no longer publish information of that sort. 

    The mainstream news is not really sharing what is important. They are dramatizing it making it so everyone will believe what they say, but the truth is they are not actually sharing the truth about our world with you. For example, say two countries are just having a disagreement going back and forth with each other. Our news might say these two countries are in a war which leads people to either panic or think that a war will solve all the problems between them. 

    Found within the website the American Conservative you see an article called "Mr. President, Stay Out of Ukraine" which states that "Instead of flirting with a proxy war strategy to torment Russia, the United States should be making a concerted effort to repair bilateral relations." You will notice while reading this article or maybe even by the title alone that you do not hear about this information from our mainstream news sources. The article goes into detail on how a war between NATO and Russia would be too much and could lead to it being a nuclear war so the administration decides to find a middle ground where a war could be avoided. In comparison to a mainstream article, you would probably notice that they would not give you all the details and just explain how a war would be a high possibility. That is why both the anti-war and the american conservative are extremely important websites to look back on because within them you will be able to find the information you do not typically see throughout your day.
