Putin, Lenin, Imperialism And The (Real) History Of Ukraine
Ukraine is a place few people in this country can find on a map. Far fewer have any idea of when and how the Ukrainian state originated, or how it has related to its neighbors over time. So I might make up any random narrative about it, weaving in bits and pieces of truth here and there, and perhaps the majority of my listeners would nod agreeably at my presentation finding no flaws. There are a whole lot of ingredients to work with and to play with when it comes to Ukraine’s history.

The status of a superpower brings wealth, resources, and glory to a country, but it doesn’t bring wisdom, clean conscience, and a clean pair of hands.

In the West, media outlets are claiming that Russia’s agenda to “denazify” Ukraine is unfounded. At the same time, public opinion in Western countries is totally alienated from the Ukrainian reality, tending to believe only what is reported by the hegemonic media. The result of this is strong disapproval of the Russian attitude based on the lie that there is no trace of Nazism in contemporary Ukraine.

Ukraine & Nukes
The New York Times recently published an article by David Sanger entitled “Putin spins a conspiracy theory that Ukraine is on a path to produce nuclear weapons.” Unfortunately, it is Sanger who puts so much spin in his reporting that he leaves his readers with a grossly distorted version of the what the presidents of Russia and Ukraine have said and done. read more

The fascist mythology behind the demonization of Russia & its denazification effort in Ukraine
What the headlines aren’t telling us is that if not for Russia’s intervention, the newly independent DPR and LPR would at this point likely be getting crushed by the belligerent regime Washington has installed within Ukraine. Not only that, but the ethnic Russians within the Donbass region would be subjected to an even more severe genocide than they already have been. This was essentially articulated last month by a DPR pro-independence activist, who said that “We can't live in the same country as the Nazis. We can't forgive all that we experienced through the years. How can I live ... read more

NATO: Crisis Creation
We've seen how the problem, reaction, solution paradigm applied to Covid. Now let's see how it applies to the Ukraine. Greece is having anti NATO demonstrations for provoking a conflict with Russia. October 1962 American deployments of missiles in Italy and Turkey were matched by Soviet deployments of similar ballistic missiles in Cuba. We all remember that Russia put missiles in Cuba but we all forgot that was in response to the US putting missiles in Italy and Turkey. The US intensionally created the conflict. Hillary Clinton sold Russia Uranium for nuclear missiles. Now she's tr... read more

How Ukrainian Forces are Defeating Russian Electronic Warfare
*Kris Osborn* *Russia-Ukraine War, Ukraine* Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges explains to The National Interest why Russia's electronic warfare capabilities haven't been effective against Ukraine. Ukrainian forces may be dispersing some of their command structures to limit the impacts of Russian cyber attacks. Russia’s electronic warfare capabilities have been noted since its 2014 invasion of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine. More recent efforts to conduct cyber warfare and electronic warfare against the Ukrainians appear to be less successful, though. “On the Ukrainian... read more

Russian propaganda fails
AP/Houston Chronicle: Russian state media is spreading misinformation about the location of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in what analysts said is an attempt to discourage resistance fighters and erode support for Ukraine around the globe. A story published by the Russian News Agency Tass this week quoted a Russian lawmaker saying Zelenskyy “hastily fled” Kyiv for Lviv in far western Ukraine, despite photos and video clips showing him leading Ukraine's defense from its capital. It's one of many distorted claims to emerge from a Russian propaganda and disinformation ca... read more

* World faces 'energy starvation' as oil and gas prices soar even higher* * "Across the world" is misleading. Australia is an exception. Australia has an abundance of coal and gas and exports much of it. Canada is in a similar position. So supply of both commodities to Canadian and Australian householders is likely to remain little affected by international shortages. * Households across the world are facing “energy starvation”, analysts have warned, as gas prices hit a fresh record and oil surged an 11-year high. Experts warned prices at the petrol pump would push fresh records a... read more

Pollster gives Biden an "F" for the week
Jeb Babbin: ... It was one of those weeks we must be glad is over. From Biden’s appeasement of Russia to Harris’s pronouncements, it was another “wait, what?" week for the administration. Someone proposed a drinking game for Biden’s State of the Union address in which you took a shot of whiskey for every lie spoken. If anyone was unwise enough to play, they’d have died of alcohol poisoning. Biden essentially promised to make everything free. He said he’d cut the deficit and secure the border. He confused Ukrainians with Iranians and didn't even call on Russian President Vladimi... read more

Russian forces in Ukraine take a break?
Institute for the Study of War: Russian forces in Ukraine may have entered a possibly brief operational pause on March 5 as they prepare to resume operations against Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mykolayiv, and possibly Odesa in the next 24-48 hours.

* SHOCKING: MI Governor Admits Promoting This in Public Schools* According to national data, American schools are failing, especially in larger urban areas run by national teachers’ unions. Instead of raising standards, far-leftists are instead feeding social justice into the schools, increasing racial tensions, while promoting more and more gender identities. On the darker side of their efforts, in line with other dictators who from the beginning of world history have targeted children, an increasing amount of new curriculum is being used to indoctrinate the youth. One of the wo... read more
