RHADIKA DESAI—It is a sign of the difficult choices Europe has had to make in this conflict that even the most loyal US mouthpiece across the Atlantic, Britain’s The Guardian, had to demur: “declaring someone a war criminal is not as simple as just saying the words.”

Meanwhile, it is useful to consider Ukraine itself. There has been attention to the racism of reporters, opinion columnists, and policy-makers, and even many ordinary citizens of Western countries who favour refugees from Ukraine, along with the racism of some Ukrainians, who keep underling how “European” they, their country, and their cities are. Unacceptable as this is, however, it does not exhaust the racism that is at work in the Ukraine conflict.

Those rightly decrying the aforementioned racism do not appear to realise that, ultimately, racism is also the consolation prize that poor whites receive from white elites, the prize that permits the latter to consolidate support among the former, whose economic subordination continues or even gets worse.

Putin’s warning….weapons you have never seen and have no answer for – hypersonic Kinzal, Avantgard missiles. Russia security and survival is existential and real…but USA doesn’t seem to realize that or understand it. China – Russia joint statement on Feb. 4 in Beijing – we’re going in a different direction without you. Join China Russia statement, Feb. 4 Beijing. We are going in a different direction without you (USA). Can USA realistically fight the two major superpowers simultaneously? Denazification – what does that imply?

The real roots of the Ukraine war, explained by the admirable Danny Haiphong. This is what the mainstream media and the pundits will never explain as it reflects badly on the criminal system they support.

EVA BARTLETT—From my Donetsk rental (cheaper than the cheapest hotel—which was booked when I arrived).
By the way, water cuts every day in Donetsk from 7 or 8 am till around 5 or 6pm, sometimes earlier. This is, as I understand due to damage to the pumping station in the north, which I assume is likely due to Ukrainian shelling.
The people here are resilient and have adapted to life under 8 years of Ukraine’s war on them. But, enough is enough, its time to restore stability…(and their water)

Colonel McGregor: “Putin set out to honor his word from 2007 at the Munich Security Conference where he said ‘We will not allow the expansion of NATO to a point where NATO is touching our border, specifically, Ukraine and Georgia. We see these as Trojan Horses for NATO’s military power and US influence… He repeated that (warning) over and over and over again, in the hopes that he could avoid taking action to effectively clean-out eastern Ukraine of any opposition forces whatever, and to put his forces in a position vis-a-vis NATO to deter us from any further attempts to influence or change Ukraine into a platform for the projection of US and western power into Russia.
