Angela Merkel’s Revelation: The Minsk Agreements Were Not Intended To Be Pursued
Saturday, 4 January 2025 — New Eastern Outlook
The EU was born as a peace project. Is it still so? The former German Chancellor reveals in an interview and in her Memoirs that Europe preferred conflict to peace with Russia.
The Minsk Agreements: A Tactical Pause, Not a Path to Peace
The former German chancellor Angela Merkel sparked controversy with her candid reflections on the Minsk agreements. These accords were ostensibly negotiated to de-escalate tensions in Ukraine after Russia’s accession of Crimea in 2014 as a result of a referendum by its residents and the subsequent outbreak of hostilities by the Ukrainian army and the Azov Battalion against ethnic Russians in the Donbas and Donetsk regions.

Malak Mattar (Gaza, Occupied Palestinian Territory), Prematurely Stolen, 2023.Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
A study came out in December that made me cry. Titled Needs Study: Impact of War in Gaza on Children with Vulnerabilities and Families, it was conducted by the Community Training Centre for Crisis Management (CTCCM) in Gaza. Written in a clinical style, nothing about the language should have impacted me in the way that it did. But the study’s findings were shocking. Here are some of the cold facts:

Targeting civilians in Gaza: The Israeli military’s unchecked policies
Wednesday, 1 January 2025 — Al Mayadeen English
Reports reveal alarming practices by the Israeli military in Gaza, where civilians face risks from repeated attacks on buildings labeled by “Israel” as Resistance sites, even after those buildings are no longer in use. Haaretz correspondent Yaniv Kubovich highlights disturbing policies, including the targeting of civilians entering such structures and a military culture of competition over casualties. These actions have devastating consequences, with attacks on designated humanitarian zones like Mawasi resulting in numerous civilian deaths.

The criminality of the Kiev regime knows no bounds. It is mind-boggling. But the putrid reality is covered up by the Western media which indulges the fantasy of “noble Ukraine defending Europe from Russian aggression.”

2025: A second Renaissance, or chaos?
Tuesday, 31 December 2024 — Strategic Culture Foundation
From Renaissance Florence, one of the – few – peaks of humanity, now living in memory, tread carefully across this flame-filled 2025.
FLORENCE – It’s a dazzling Tuscan winter morning, and I am inside the legendary Dominican church of Santa Maria Novella, founded in the early 13th century and finally consecrated in 1420, in a very special place in History of Art: right in front of one of the monochrome frescos painted in 1447-1448 by master of perspective Paolo Uccello, depicting the Universal Deluge.

After NATO’s Romanian Coup, Where Next?
Sunday, 29 December 2024 — Global Delinquents
On December 6th, Romania’s constitutional court made an extraordinary decision to inexplicably overturn first round results of the country’s November 24th presidential election. Conveniently, the ruling was made mere days before a runoff that, according to polls, would’ve seen upstart outsider Calin Georgescu win via landslide. In the process, citizens of all NATO member states were provided with a particularly pitiless, real-time crash course on what could now happen in their own countries, should the ‘wrong’ candidates be elected fair and square.
