The West’s century-long war against Russia — part one Part one of a series of articles in which I argue that the current NATO-Russia confrontation is simply the latest chapter in a century-long Western campaign to weaken, isolate and contain Russia. In the wake of Trump’s

#Truth, but incomplete. The war in the Donbass had already been in progress for 8 years, and the series of provocations of the Anglo-American empire that brought about war in Ukraine date back long before that.
@ZelenskyyUa Fact Check: Ukraine bombed Donbas for more than 25 days prior to Russia’s intervention. Ukraine very literally started this war.

The professor summed it all up in one brutal line: “Israel is the biggest lie of the century… only you still believe the propaganda.” Then he tore the narrative apart: • No victory in Gaza — a full year of slaughter… outcome: zero. • Hezbollah hits the north daily, while

Every subsequent deal for Ukraine will only be worse — because we are losing. We are losing people, territory, and the economy. The EU (which by the way has paid Russia more than €311 billion for energy and goods since February 2022) has no real strategy, no way to stop fueling

Any ideas how to get CB researchers to check out how their neutral rate assumptions/foundations are only applicable to fixed fx policy and stop applying it to floating fx? https://t.co/9uWy5cP6du

Vous vous trompez depuis le début. L’Ukraine ne peut gagner la guerre sans entraîner l’OTAN dans la guerre et déclencher une 3eme guerre mondiale qui serait un nouveau suicide pour le continent européen . Un siècle après la catastrophe de la première guerre mondiale vous êtes
Je l'évoquais hier : le discours du président @ZelenskyyUa était bouleversant. Ses paroles sonnent comme un appel à ce qui peut encore demeurer en nous de digne, de juste et simplement d'humain. Nous sommes dans une lutte entre le bien et le mal radical. https://t.co/TVWj3fpN9R

@MyLordBebo Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and UK’s Boris Johnson committed the cardinal sin, provoking the war Donald Trump can’t finish. And, never in history has the losing side that provoked the war received a ceasefire so they can rest, recruit, regroup and rearm.

La voix de Moscou. Pourquoi ne pas le préciser ? C’est exactement ce que dénonçait C. OCKRENT sur le contenu de cette chaîne.

What is actually insane is asking countries that have been forced by the EU to bear massive austerity measures over the past 15 years — resulting in the hollowing out of the welfare state, the destruction of basic services, rising poverty and unemployment, deindustrialisation —
Countries like Sweden and the other Nordics are bearing a disproportionate burden in supporting Ukraine, while Italy and Spain contribute almost nothing. It’s way beyond time to call this out. If you say you have fiscal space, why are you not contributing?

Many cannot even comprehend that the postwar economy in Britain - and in other European countries as well - was effectively planned. It was more similar to the Chinese economy of today than to the British economy of today. Since the planning stopped it has gone to the wall. 🇬🇧

I’m absolutely shocked by what I’m seeing Europeans write on X right now. They’re preaching that Ukraine must “keep fighting” and that Trump’s peace plan is terrible. Where on earth are you fighting? In the restaurants of Paris and Vienna? Ukrainians are the ones fighting and

Yours truly on Ukraine’s corruption pit: “The total amount of money pumped into Ukraine since 2022 is ~$360B. I estimate that corruption accounts for 15–30% of the total aid. That means $54B–$108B is lining the pockets of the corrupt."

This captures an important dimension of the Ukrainian dilemma: best think ahead & prepare for the after war situation.

It should be painfully clear by now: Ukraine’s greatest enemies are those posing as its supporters — indeed, always have been. Anyway with a Ukrainian flag in their bio is, consciously or unconsciously, rooting for Ukraine’s complete destruction.
Everyone shrieking that the new US peace plan betrays Ukraine has in fact betrayed Ukraine by exploiting its divisions, backing a coup, sabotaging reasonable diplomatic opportunities, and using it to bleed Russia. Zelensky said it best back in March 2022: “There are those in

All the talk of “capitulation” around the latest US-Russia peace deal ignores a fundamental fact: that from a strategic and nation-building perspective, Ukraine wouldn’t gain anything from taking back the lost territories. As I explained in a recent article for @compactmag_, the
