Jackson Hinkle comments on the latest developments in Ukraine, especially how the battle for Ukraine (and what it implies) has now changed dramatically with the recent Russian mobilisation and referenda, the latter returning to Russia four important oblasts in Eastern and Southern Ukraine. It’s worth noting that Putin’s latest speech celebrating the restoration of these lands to Russia also made history by its frank language, forthrightly acusing the West of bad faith, hypocrisy, appalling disloyalty, and vast criminality, including acts of terror such as the blowing up of the Nordstream pipelines, which may sink the EU economies and penalise EU populations. Putin also attacked and rejected in forceful terms the West’s “identity” values implicit in its “Woke philosopy”, which the US seeks to impose by force and coercion.

Propaganda Wars: Who is actually spreading disinformation?
Who but the most expert at disseminating the Big Lie?18 minutes readEAB—What about the USA? Fifty years ago the USA arguably had the highest standard of living in the world, hence US citizens largely trusted their government (ignoring the fact that US wealth, particularly following their deindustrialisation, was largely acquired through foreign plunder, exploitation and parasitic freeloading via the Petrodollar). As a nation founded on genocide, slavery, bigotry and racism, with US citizens taught disdain for foreigners from childhood, average Americans would automatically believe any negative news about “the other” (Russia, China, Iran, etc) whether it was true or not. No need to fact-check. Even Americans “of colour” subscribed to such xenophobia and jingoistic nationalism, they were victims of Stockholm syndrome.
A Dissection of Ukrainian Nationalism: Fascism and Nazism
Behind a thick curtain of hypocrisy and disinformation, the West continues to defend the spread of fascism in Ukraine and the rest of Europe.26 minutes readANTON—As part of decommunization, naziism and communism were equated. The government banned the communist party. However even though the communist party was banned, Svoboda and the Radical Party continue to exist without any persecution. The 2015 decommunization law on political parties allows the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice to ban any party from participating in elections. And even now, the Ukrainian government outlawed the opposition parties that it views as “anti-Ukrainian” which consisted of the Opposition Platform for Life, Left Opposition, Union of Left Forces, Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialist Party of Ukraine, etc. Which would mean that all parties remaining are “pro-Ukrainian” which means to the eyes of the Ukrainian government Svoboda, Radical Party, etc, they are on the “same side”.
REGIS TREMBLAY—While everyone is focused on Ukraine, we are insisting to focus on the really important events that are unfolding daily on the planet. The multipolar world envisioned by Russia and China is what everyone should be focusing on. The blowback to US sanctions on Russia, and the US doubling down on Russia and China.
Five months into the Special Military Operation – a summary
THE SAKER—The West, which despises and hates the Ukrainians almost as much as it hates the Russians was delighted to see the hated Ukrainians and the hated Russians killing each other (well, mostly Russians doing the killing). Furthermore, being military incompetent, the leaders of the West apparently believed that supplying weapons, money, instructors, and special forces to the Ukrainians could, if not turn the tide, slow down Russia enough to create fear, uncertainty, and doubts in the Russian public opinion.
