Russia calls on U.S. to withdraw nuclear weapons from Europe, cease joint nuclear drills with non-nuclear allies
This is a serious issue, perhaps the most serious of issues in Europe, but coming as it does immediately on the heels of Russia’s prior list of demands being resolutely rejected by the U.S. and NATO yesterday, the prospects of Washington and Brussels positively responding to this one either don’t appear good.

The formal US response to Russia’s demands for security guarantee was delivered to the foreign ministry in Moscow on Wednesday.

The vast anti-Russian psyop campaign that’s brought us to the brink of nuclear war
There’s an absurdity to humanity’s current predicament of standing on the brink of World War III. This is that the decisive factor behind why the U.S. and Russia are close to war has not been the geopolitical struggles, the economic competition, or the imperialist military encirclement around Russia, but the strange and insipid tools that… Continue reading

PATRICK LAWRENCE: Russia’s Red Line
“They must understand,” Sergei Lavrov said in one of his many public statements last week, “that the key to everything is the guarantee that NATO will not expand eastward.” The Russian foreign minister has repeated this thought almost ad infinitum lately.

Europe Faces a Moment of Truth Over Russia’s Demands on the United States Presence in Europe

Ukraine: Russian intervention highly likely

CSTO’s mission accomplished in Kazakhstan
The readout of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “working meeting” in the Kremlin on Wednesday with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu regarding the Collective Security Treat Organisation’s mission to Kazakhstan needs careful analysis.
