What Sanctions Has the World Put on Russia?
The Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Фотобанк Moscow-Live, https://flic.kr/p/ApSBzZ; CC BY-NC-SA 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/) Over the past week, the United States and its allies have responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with some unprecedented actions of their own. But instead of engaging militarily, they have struck back at Russia’s economy. The sanctions have escalated over the course of the week. What began on Feb. 21 as a purported set of targeted measures aimed at isolating the two breakaway Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk ha... read more

Biden colluding with Russia on another bad Iran deal
Robert Spencer: Just when you think the Biden administration couldn’t possibly get worse, it finds a way. Gabriel Noronha, a former State Department official, tweeted Wednesday that State, NSC, and European Union officials are warning that “what’s happening in Vienna,” where Biden’s handlers are negotiating a new nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran, “is a total disaster,” and that they’re hoping that “Congress will act to stop the capitulation.” It’s about as likely that Congress will stop this, of course, as it is that Biden’s handlers will send Donald J.

Pompeo says US should formerly recognize Taiwan
Epoch Times: Washington should formally recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on March 4 during a speech in Taipei. He said it is an imperative move that “can no longer be ignored, avoided, or treated as secondary.” “The United States government should immediately take necessary and long overdue steps to do the right and obvious thing—that is to offer the Republic of China [Taiwan]—America’s diplomatic recognition as a free and sovereign country,” he said in a 20-minute speech.

Russia block social media
National Review: Russia’s state media regulator, Roskomnadzor, announced Friday it will block access to the social media platform, just over a week after Russia first invaded Ukraine. The regulator claimed Facebook violated federal law by restricting access to the accounts of several state propaganda sites. Asked about the agency’s decision during a press briefing on Friday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the Biden administration is “deeply concerned” about Russia’s decision to cut off its citizens’ access to Facebook. “This is part of their effort, as you know,... read more

Democrats think high prices for gas are a good thing
PJ Media: While supporters on social media desperately try to paper over Joe Biden’s disastrous energy policies, which are causing near $7.00-per-gallon gas prices, Democrats in his administration are doing the opposite. And for once, they’re telling the truth. High prices are by design, and they don’t care if it hurts your family, your job, your food supply, or your ability to move freely about the country as long as their windmills and Chinese-made solar panels operate your cars and planes. Don’t ask questions. The timing is spectacularly bad. Democrat authoritarians have beg... read more

US Support For Self-determination In Ukraine Is Political And Conditional

So he thinks our divided nation is a weakness exploited by Putin (and I'd agree). Here he barely condemns Biden's weakness on protecting Ukraine, yet blame... read more
