Lessons From The Korean War – M. K. Bhadrakumar

An Exceptional Nation: American Double Standards – Kristian Laubjerg
The hypocrisy of the US is obvious: It says one thing but does quite another. Washington has been claiming to defend “human rights” all day long.

Only a bloodthirsty country behaves […]
The Media’s “New Narrative”: Niger Is Now “A Global Epicenter Of Jihadi Terrorism” – Andrew Korybko
It’s full-blown fake news to claim that Niger is now a global epicenter of terrorism, but the MSM is expected to maximally amplify this false narrative in an attempt to scare the public into supporting the planned NATO-backed Nigerian-led ECOWAS invasion of that country. This approach risks discrediting itself, however, if it triggers the wrong […]

Shocking Extent Of Ukraine’s Unrelenting Demographic Collapse
Prior to the unfortunate dismantling of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was one of its most prominent republics, even rivaling Russia itself in numerous aspects.

Beheading Leviathan – Aaron Kheriaty
Two unanticipated events in 2016 completely shocked our ruling class: the election of Trump in the U.S., and the Brexit vote in the U.K. Our elites did not respond by examining the disconnect between their core assumptions and the will of the people.

Unraveling Israel’s Identity: From Atheistic Zionism To Religious Nationalism – Ramzy Baroud
The late Israeli commentator, Uri Avnery, expressed his concern about the Israeli-Palestinian struggle taking on a more religious character. At first glance, the statement may seem baffling.

NATO Isn’t Defending Ukraine. It’s Stabbing It In The Back – Jonathan Cook
The Nato summit in Lithuania this week served only to underscore the utter hypocrisy of western leaders in pursuing their proxy war in Ukraine to “weaken” Russia and oust its president, Vladimir Putin.

That message was formally announced by Nato Secretary […]
Has The US Lost The UAE To Russia, China? – Stephen Blank

Here’s How NATO Trainers Knowingly Sent Ukrainian Troops To Their Deaths In The Failed “Spring Offensive” Against Russia – Scott Ritter

NATO Has Been Nothing But Disaster For Ukraine – Tim Black
At the Vilnius summit this week, NATO leaders have been telling anyone who will listen that Ukraine’s future lies within NATO.

US Soldiers Don’t Belong In The Ukraine – Eve Ottenberg
So how many American soldiers fight in Ukraine? The Biden bunch is careful not to reveal or refer to their presence, mercenary or otherwise, but the question keeps coming to mind.

Is Psychiatry “Fake Science”? – Mark Keenan
With the seemingly endless fear-generating narratives of the corporate-owned mass media in relation to catastrophic CO2-induced climate change; virus pandemics; nuclear war; or whatever else they can come up with to keep you shivering under your sheets – is it any wonder that stress and so-called mental health issues have been in ‘pandemic’ mode?

Biden’s Presidency Is Sinking Deeper And Deeper Into Failure – Eric Zuesse
Both in domestic matters and in foreign affairs, there have been few U.S. Presidencies that have failed as thoroughly as Biden’s is failing.

CIA Running Ukraine Blows Biden’s Lies About No US Boots On The Ground
Ukraine is ground zero for the CIA’s fascist origins The American magazine Newsweek published a big “exclusive” report this week purporting to reveal the extent of CIA involvement in the Ukraine proxy war against Russia.

Russo-Turkish Relations: The ‘Indivisible Security’ Principle Is No Longer Binding – Richard Hubert Barton
