It is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the West’s unsubstantiated narrative that Russia sabotaged the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines. Now, even some German officials are beginning to admit that there is no evidence to blame Moscow for the crime. Indeed, as the question about the real culprit remains, at some point Berlin will have to investigate the possibility of sabotage by count [...]
NATO members over the past few days have started beating the drum that Ukraine is collapsing and are talking about next steps including putting western NATO forces into the battle. Putin just issued his strongest warning yet to NATO. Stay out or else.

While there are divisions within NATO, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock –who assiduously studied foreign policy in Klaus Schwab’s WEF Forum of Young Global Leaders (YGL)– confirmed in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) (January 25, 2023), that Germany and its allies [NATO] are at war with Russia: [...]
Freddie Sayers speaks to financial analyst Louis Gave about the West's self-made economic crisis. On one front are sanctions against Russia responding to the invasion of Ukraine. In February, the EU canceled long-term, favorable contracts which sent the West into an unprecedented energy crisis. Gave puts the hastiness of these decisions down to the pressures of social media activism, or what he c [...]
90 Seconds to Midnight according to the Doomsday Clock. The Nobel Peace Laureates are casually blaming Russia, without recalling the history of nuclear war, not to mention Joe Biden’s 1.3 trillion dollar program to develop “more usable”, “low intensity” “preemptive nuclear weapons” to be used on “first strike basis” against both nuclear and non-nuclear states as a means of “sel [...]

Fores, a Russian chemical manufacturer, is offering bounties to soldiers for destroying Western-made battle tanks that have recently been pledged to Ukraine by the country's Western backers. The news comes after Washington and Berlin approved deliveries of heavy armor to Kiev last week.
Russian servicemen that destroy or capture a German Leopard 2 battle tank or an American Abrams will receive [...]
Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s "war with Russia" comment has backfired. Several opposition leaders and others from Germany have trained guns at Baerbock. She has been tagged "unfit for the job" and "insane" publicly by German leaders. German MP Sahra Wagenknecht accused Baerbock of "trampling" with Germany’s image.
Alice Weidel, the co-chair of Alternative Germany, said tha [...]
Germany may have resigned itself to war with Russia. After dragging their feet on sending weapons, they have decided to just bite the bullet, so to speak.
This could cost lives and it will absolutely cost them money. The Institute of German Economics calculated that the conflict in Ukraine will cost €175 billion, which equates to €2,000 per person and 4.5% of the country's GDP.

I am an American and I can say that Scott Ritter speaks for me, NOT my government. There is so much propaganda in my country about Russia, but thanks to men like Scott, many of us are realizing the truth about the situation and the great Russian people [...]
The United States’ efforts to isolate Russia have long depended on Germany joining the contest against the Eastern giant, and now with the Ukraine War deeply entrenched, those efforts have borne fruit. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock recently announced that, for all intents and purposes, Germany is at war with Russia. And even if the German people don’t want it, Germany will continue [...]
On February 19, Washington, DC, will witness a protest against the war in Ukraine that marks a sharp departure from past demonstrations. The lead demand is simple and direct, “Not One More Penny for war in Ukraine.” It is a demand that emphasizes what we in the US can do to end the war, not what others can do. After all, the only government we have the power to influence is our own.
Above a [...]

In January 2023, all masks were thrown off. The Euro-Atlantic elites, motivated after their meetings in Davos, realized that there was no more need to cover their true intentions with hypocritical appeals to “save the young Ukrainian democracy for the sake of world peace.”
More and more representatives of the so-called “golden billion” from the West recognize the real goals of the belli [...]

From the United States to China, from Europe to Latin America and from Afr [...]

There is no doubt, war is ugly. Atrocities are committed by all belligerents involved in conflict.
Propaganda is heightened and intensified not only by the major participants, but also by countries, governments, organisations, corporations, and individuals who aren’t directly involved in the conflict. Each has their own motivations, reasons, and self-serving interests for doing so.
Fog of [...]
