Ukraine – The West’s Response As It Meets With Reality
This morning I watched an hour long discussion (vid) by ‘experts’ at the Center for Strategic & International Studies about assessing Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Putin Addresses St Petersburg International Economic Forum Plenary session

China doubles down on vision with Russia
The most animating template of the West’s “information war” lately against Russia is, perhaps, its distorted projection of the China-Russia relationship in the context of the Ukraine crisis. This dubious enterprise has practical implications for the “endgame” in Ukraine, the West’s efforts to “erase” Russia and the US’ struggle with China — above all, it… Continue reading

Has Russia turned the Western alliance into an unstoppable behemoth?
