This means the Biden administration is now sabre rattling with three nuclear powers: Russia (by proxy via Ukraine), China, and Pakistan. Soon to come: more agitation of Russia via Africa in backing ECOWAS intervention in Niger which (as of yesterday) the US government's official stance won't rule out.

> My take: In case you haven't been keeping up with recent movements in censorship and the fight to prevent the US government from telling publishers (most notably Twitter, Google, Facebook, and the like) whose work to censor, hide in search results, shadowban, or otherwise obscure. Most recently, Scott Ritter's channel was kicked off of YouTube (read his own words about this in https://www.rt.com/news/581415-scott-ritter-youtube-ban/ ) and Glenn Greenwald covered the new Twitter CEO, Linda Yaccarino, pushing the latest ill-defined-on-purpose "lawful not awful" publishing in https://rumble.com/v38k5vc-system-update-132.html . Sadly, it looks like constantly suing the US government is the only way to get it to stop doing unconstitutional things (no surprise here, really).

Rumble has a history of going up against state-sponsored calls for censorship such as when France told Rumble to stop carrying RT and other Russian outlets Rumble reacted by continuing to carry those channels and telling France that they'd rather give up the French market than comply with censorship. France blocked Rumble and we get one more place to pick up the news that we're not supposed to see or hear.

On any topic that the US government, powerful people, or powerful industry considers relevant you can safely assume that Wikipedia articles are propagandized. Very little in the article is safe from this (perhaps the current logo for commercial operations might be truthful).
