WW3 started a couple years ago. We are just in a slow buildup phase right now. Countries are pushing into others and finding out nobody does anything about it. Until one day it all kicks off at once.

Because the mainstream media represents the elites. It is essentially PR for the wealthy. Let's not forget many news networks are now owned by Trump loyalists as well. And that to get access to interviews, they agree to provide positive or coverage that doesn't shine a negative light on the current administration.

I mean yeah media has long been a branch of whatever government it answers to.

maybe not an act of war, maybe Maduro isn't a POW. It's an act of terror, he is being held hostage by state backed terrorists.
