Washington has spent $1.8 trillion over the 20-year failed military campaign in Afghanistan to defeat the Taliban, whilst aid to Ukraine in just a little more than two years has already reached $175 billion dollars, according to a Council on Foreign Relations report published on May 9. [...]

The Answer comes from the Horse’s Mouth. But the Horse’s Mouth concept does not seem to be on the agenda of this Conference. On September 7, 2023, NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, in a presentation to the European Parliament, formally acknowledged that: “the war didn’t start in February last year [2022]. It started in 2014.” This far-reaching declaration confirms his earlie [...]

War is being treated by the sociopaths in Washington, Israel and parts of Europe as if it is something to be casually entered into in one’s spare time. The back-up lies, regularly spouted in Congress, are that Israel is a democracy and an ally. It is, of course, neither, as it is a Jews-only apartheid regime that has no fixed borders and no reciprocal security arrangements with the US. [...]

Victoria Nuland's departure from the Biden Administration signals a significant shift in US foreign policy, especially concerning Ukraine and Russia. Nuland, known for her hawkish stance on Russia and instrumental role in US-Ukraine relations, leaves behind a legacy marked by interventionism and covert interference. Her exit raises questions about the future of US military aid to Ukraine, particul [...]

Al Jazeera investigates the shocking truth behind a deadly Israeli attack on a US naval vessel. In 1967, at the height of the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War, the Israeli Air Force launched an unprovoked attack on the USS Liberty, a US Navy spy ship that was monitoring the conflict from the safety of international waters in the Mediterranean. Israeli jet fighters hit the vessel with rockets, cannon fir [...]

Clare Daly on "the European Chips Act" The bravado about the vibrant European industry, the Chips Act actually is just another example of Europe’s scrambling to respond to unilateral US moves to protect its interests – something the US always does with zero care for the consequences of anybody else. And the irony, of course, is that of all of those US-dominated multilateral institutions – [...]

“Vladimir Putin adores Fyodor Dostoevsky,” I recently read in an article. “A close reading of the legendary author’s texts reveals the feeling might have been mutual.” Before long I also read that in Italy a university had cancelled a literature course on Dostoyevsky over the Ukraine crisis. [...]

A whistleblower from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) which has itself a shady reputation mainly for its biased reporting, always in favor of the western wannabe empire and its vassals, has revealed the discovery of Ukrainian Nazi Groups harvesting children’s organs in underground laboratories. These labs were exposed after the buildings were destroyed in the war. [...]

April 12th, UN spokesperson Dujarric announced that the UN was discussing the issue of Russia's banks being allowed to rejoin the SWIFT payment system. The SWIFT payment system is one of the most crucial financial infrastructures globally. In February 2022, the US and other Western countries issued a joint statement that excluded some Russian banks from the system. The War You Don't See traces th [...]

The foreign ministers of the United States, Germany, and Ukraine have told the world “you can’t be neutral” in NATO’s proxy war with Russia, recalling President George W. Bush’s infamous declaration, “You are either with us, or against us”. In doing so, these Western officials are implicitly criticizing the vast majority of the countries on Earth, which are in the Global South, and [...]

The destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline was a gangster act that reveals cancer at the heart of the “rules-based order”. How can there be peace and security when the world’s most powerful nation can destroy the critical infrastructure of other countries without deliberation or judicial proceedings? If Hersh’s report can be trusted—and I think it can—then we must assume that senior- [...]

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. Russ [...]

On December 21, the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, spoke to Congress in an effort to get more financial and military support from the American government. Zelenskyy spoke of peace, freedom, and interconnection as the main goals of the Ukrainian fight but that Ukraine needed American resolve. Zelenskyy stated: From the United States to China, from Europe to Latin America and from Afr [...]

Force the adversary to expand recklessly in order to unbalance him, and then destroy him. This is not the description of a judo hold, but a plan against Russia elaborated by the Rand Corporation, the most influential think tank in the USA. [...]

On Sunday, the foreign policy blogs were abuzz with the news that Scott Ritter had done “an about-face in his assessment of the war”. It appears that the ex-Marine had examined recent developments in Ukraine and concluded that it’s going to be much harder for Russia to win than he had originally thought… [...]

The twists and turns of the Nord Stream 2 (NS2) saga have yielded yet another stunning game-changer. It started with Gazprom revealing that the Line B string of NS2 is intact; not only it escaped Pipeline Terror but may “potentially” be used to pump gas to Germany. That confirms once again that NS2 is an engineering marvel. In fact the whole system: the pipes are so strong they were not broken [...]

The sabotage of the two Nord Stream pipelines leaves Europeans certain to be much poorer and colder this winter, and was an act of international vandalism on an almost unimaginable scale. The attacks severed Russian gas supplies to Europe and caused the release of enormous quantities of methane gas, the prime offender in global warming. [...]

Davos elites would rather push for war with Russia than admit that the multi-polar order has arrived. This year’s premier gathering of world elites, the 2022 Davos World Economic Forum, concluded May 26. Topics of discussion included the climate crisis, global epidemic concerns, continued efforts to grow the prominence of ESG investing, and looming food shortages. One issue, however, far and awa [...]
