United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken has announced the launch of a "strategic dialogue" with Indonesia on issues that include defending freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. 

Indonesia is the largest country and economy in the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), a bloc Washington sees as key to its efforts to stand up to China's growing influence in Asia. 

Meeting in Washington, Mr Blinken and Indonesian Foreign Minster Retno Marsudi also committed to work together against COVID-19 and the climate crisis and to boost bilateral trade and economic ties, the State Department said.

I might watch a video. but a person should accurately describe it in a phrase or a sentence, so you know how it related to the blog post.

2:39's watch this for a url link could be a youtube for product or something equally unrelated.

My apologies, it's the American journal, a centre right publication under the infowars umbrella

They discuss in depth news of today, including but not limited to the great reset, covid 19 etc...


They report on things the media often buries or slow walks, eg they reported on the Wuhan virus lab leak more than a year ago and provided circumstantial evidence over that year that hasn't made it to the mainstream news yet, but eventually will, it often does
