A bold and honest account of the events and history that led to the coup in Ukraine in 2014, and the current Russo-Ukrainian conflict, an event many observers see as a proxy war (so far) between the US bloc and Russia, the latter supported by the great Eurasian powers.

KIM PETERSEN—I grant that Chomsky is indeed a polymath, but is he an expert on military operations? Scott Ritter and Brian Berletic (The New Atlas channel), on the other hand, are Americans steeped in militarism. Berletic is a former US marine and Ritter is a former intelligence officer for the US marines. Both of them explain the Russian strategy in shaping the battlefield. The reason for this is to minimize Russian casualties and Ukrainian civilian casualties. This is unlike American Shock and Awe warfare where “collateral damage” (as killing of civilians by US military is trivialized) is accepted to attain US military objectives.

ANDREI MARTYANOV—The explanation for the consistent failure to forecast or anticipate anything from Russia is easy: it is a combination of arrogance and incompetence, exacerbated by a deep-seated complex of inferiority. That is why this history of the events will be steadily erased from the Western historiography until the world of fantastical history, in which the United States is an omnipotent and omnipresent power “for good” will substitute reality. 

France and Germany pressured African Union leaders for months to join a brief Zoom call with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky. 51 of 55 African heads of state (93%) boycotted the meeting, showing clear neutrality over the Western proxy war with Russia.

GONZALO LIRA says some things that just about everyone knows but never utters, that many Jews in the West are rabidly Russophobic. This presents a huge problem for the peace of the world, given the role played by Israel in the Middle East and world politics, and their over-representation in media, politics and the professions.
