Ukraine Exposes White Supremacist Foreign Policy
White supremacy is at the heart of US war propaganda. The exhortation to “stand with Ukraine” is no exception to this rule.

The crisis, and especially the reaction of the ‘west’ to it, is much worse than I had feared.

The U.S. government and ‘western’ media claim that the World condemns Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
