ERIC ZUESSE—Instead of fearing to be held to account like the Nazis were at Nuremberg, America’s tyrants face no such international prosecutions whatsoever. Only good leaders become assassinated in America. The Deep State gets rid of them. Today’s American Government is clearly fascist — and not like Franco was fascist but like Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito were fascist: imperialistic fascists.

MOA—Since February the Ukraine built up a force to retake the renegade Donbas region in east-Ukraine by military force. After waiting several weeks to see the situation more clearly Russia started to assemble a counterforce backed up by statements that were sufficiently strong to deter the Ukraine from continuing its plans. The danger of a Ukrainian assault has now receded.
Today the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu gave orders for the troops to return to their bases. Much of the equipment though will stay on training grounds near Ukraine until the regular fall maneuvers later this year take place. That minimizes transport costs and gives a little time advantage should someone in the Ukraine again have silly ideas.
Russia has clearly won this round.
But that is not how it looks when seen from the ‘western’ narrative. In that version the Ukrainian plans and its assembling of heavy weapons and troops near the Donbas border never happened. The narrative says that the whole incident started as a ‘Russian aggression’ when Russia very publicly showed its potential force.

Maupin: Is the empire really opting for peace? What’s behind the Afghanistan withdrawal?
12 minutes readCALEB MAUPIN—Watch this video with Caleb Maupin, arguing that the Biden admin, while seeming to retract US imperialism’s overt military tentacles (i.e., Afghanistan troop withdrawal), and singing tunes of peace and diplomacy with Russia and China while also ratcheting sanctions, may be trying to spark conflagrations by proxy in multiple areas—Ukraine, South China Sea/Taiwan, Syria and Iran, Xinjiang, etc.—so as to inflict both hybrid and kinetic war defeats on Moscow and Beijing. This type of strategic approach was originally recommended by Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger, both Trilateral Commission advisors to what Caleb (correctly in our view) identifies as the “ultra rich/managerial/long term” wing of the US capitalist system (think big oil, big tech, Rockefeller money, Wall Street, CIA/deep state and Democratic party and legacy media assets), that is the “more effective evil”, more sophisticated wing of global capitalism.

FRANCIS LEE—Present day neo-Nazi groupings in Ukraine – Svoboda (Freedom) party and Right Sector – have been the direct descendants from the prior ideological cesspool. Heading Svoboda is Oleh Tyahnybok. Although these are separate organizations Tyahnybok’s deputy Yuriy Mykhalchyshyn is the main link between Svoboda’s official wing and neo-Nazi militias like Right Sector. The Social-Nationalist party as it was formerly known chose as its logo an amended version of the Wolfsangel, a symbol used by many SS divisions on the Eastern front during the war who in 2004 a celebration of the OUN-UPA, stated in 2004, that ‘’they fought against the Muscovite, Germans, Jews and other scum who wanted to take away our Ukrainian state.’’ And further that ‘’Ukraine was ruled by a Muscovite-Jewish mafia.’’ Tyahnybok came under pressure from the then President, Yuschenko, to retract his inflammatory statements, which he did, but he then retracted the retraction!

The West’s dishonest maneuvers toward Russia: Of Faux De-escalations, and Enlisting the Czechs to Run Interference for Washington
20 minutes readThe expulsion of Russian diplomats from the Czech Republic has demonstrated that this country’s authorities lack independence in their foreign policy and relations with Russia, Zakharova noted.
“Prague’s actions are absolutely caricature. Thus, yesterday it demonstrated the lack of any independent policy in international affairs, and, in particular, in bilateral relations with our country,” she said.
“This is the 21st century vassalage,” she noted. “The United States has triggered – in the active information and political space – a mechanism of vassalage at a new technological level, but the principle behind it is the same. Both Warsaw and Prague are serving the United States’ interests.”
Russia will soon announce concrete steps in response to the expulsion of Russian diplomats, Zakharova pointed out.
