WASHINGTON’S VASSALS

It is worth noting that earlier information appeared that the wounded of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were being taken out of the basements of Azovstal for treatment in the DPR. Our observer Nikolai Varsegov comments on this news:

“To tell the truth, I initially had … a misunderstanding of this decision on our part. By accepting enemy wounded, including the Nazis of Azov, we, of course, make life much easier for those who hid under the plant. Now they do not have to share the meager remains of water and food with those who came out of the sunken galleries…No need to waste physical and moral strength to help them, and therefore the surrender of these basement warriors will drag on for some time, tying down our military over Azovstal.” I have no doubt that many Russians, who worry about our soldiers and wish for a speedy victory, think the same way.

Although Western media, as usual, have done a great job of simply lying to the US/EU public, and thereby keeping the fog around the Russian discoveries of dozens of bioweapon labs in Ukraine, Russia presses on relentlessly with the story, and as time goes by more and more irrefutable (and highly embarrassing) details emerge from their carefully hidden crevices. Washington realises that, despite its gigantic propaganda machine, this signifies a huge threat to its ultimate credibility and operational hypocrisy. And the entire West is caught in this ugly business.

Economist Michael Hudson discusses the decline of the US dollar, the sanctions war on Russia, his concept of “free-trade imperialism,” and financial parasitism. We talk about these concepts explored in his new book “The Destiny of Civilization: Finance Capitalism, Industrial Capitalism or Socialism.”

Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Polyansky stated that the Russian position on Kiev’s desire to join the EU has changed. It is now similar to the position on Ukraine’s accession to NATO. He also noted that he does not see diplomatic options for resolving the situation in Ukraine at the moment, given Kiev’s position. Polyansky added that without demilitarization and denazification, peace in Ukraine cannot be achieved.

Multipolarista host Benjamin Norton and journalist Robbie Martin discuss how neoconservative US imperialists like Fox News host Tucker Carlson (a CIA applicant) and Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis cynically tried to rebrand as “right-wing populists,” while pushing war on China, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and Palestine. These bogus “populists” portrayed Donald Trump as an “anti-war” president, while he killed top Iranian and Iraqi officials, imposed suffocating sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela, waged a hybrid war on China, bombed the hell out of Afghanistan, expanded the war on Yemen, strongly supported apartheid Israel and Saudi Arabia, militarily occupied Syria and Iraq to take their oil, and tore up arms control agreements with Russia.
