Ryan Grim, Kim Iversen, and Robby Soave discuss Rising YouTube’s suspension.
Russian orthodoxy is effectively an arm of the Russian state. In fact, in 2019 the Ukrainian orthodoxy became separately ruled from Russian orthodoxy. This angered Putin greatly. Also, orthodoxy is a lot like Catholicism but specifically is different in being led federally instead of a unitarian model. So […]

By Caitlin Johnstone Western powers insisted that they were trying to prevent this war while doing everything possible to ensure that it happened. Now they say they are trying to end this war while doing everything possible to ensure it continues. Normally when western powers are involved in […]
By Keaton Mansfield, Center for Political Innovation Why does the liberal antiwar movement often side with NATO by default of their faux “neutrality”? The difference between antiwar and anti-imperialism may hold the answer. With the Russian Federation’s decision to recognize the independence of the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s […]
By Keaton Mansfield, Center for Political Innovation The “New Left,” born out of the hippie era and social justice movements of the 1960’s, has been a disaster for the socialist cause. When the Communist Party USA was founded in 1919, it quickly became a political force to be […]
She’s not wrong. Building up the mujahideen as an anti-Soviet resistance force in Afghanistan in the 1980s had the effect of creating groups like Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Dislodging the Baathist regime in Iraq had the effect of opening the gates for the ISIS insurgency. It’s called blowback […]
By Taras Bilous am writing these lines in Kyiv while it is under artillery attack. Until the last minute, I had hoped that Russian troops wouldn’t launch a full-scale invasion. Now, I can only thank those who leaked the information to the US intelligence services. Yesterday, I spent […]

By Brigid Kennedy The Week As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to unfold, CIA Director William Burns predicted during a congressional hearing that onlookers can expect an “ugly next few weeks.” “I think [Russian President Vladimir Putin] is angry and frustrated right now,” Burns told the House […]
By Jason Fields The Week The Russian war against Ukraine has so far been fought largely between trained soldiers on both sides, and with tanks, planes, and artillery. But according to many experts, that’s not where this conflict is headed. Russia’s military is just too powerful, and Ukraine’s […]
By James Pethokoukis The Week It’s one thing for North Korea — a country that hasn’t fought a war since 1953 — to saber rattle with its small nuclear arsenal (the nation’s “treasured sword,” according to dictator Kim Jong-un). It’s quite another when Vladimir Putin does it. Russia […]
By Damon Linker The Week If the past two weeks of war in Eastern Europe have shown us anything, it’s that lots of Washington-based foreign-policy analysts and journalists love the idea of America imposing a no-fly zone over Ukraine. The first calls for declaring one came just a […]
By Jordan Jardine, Center for a Stateless Society Muammar Gaddafi was, is, and always will be a controversial figure. Though his rise from Bedouin nomad to ruler of Libya is impressive, many of the things he did while in control of the country were unquestionably authoritarian and criminal. […]
By Joel Kotkin and Hügo Krüger Quillette Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine will be remembered as one of the great crimes of the 21st century. The ensuing humanitarian crisis has already caused more than two million refugees to flee their homeland. With the imposition of sanctions, policymakers will […]
Right on schedule. By MAX TANI and ALEX THOMPSON Politico Starting a new job as a diplomat at the fault line of Russian territorial ambition just a few days before the outbreak of the biggest war in Europe since World War II is not ideal. But that’s the […]
She may be crazier than other politicians, but she’s just like the rest by saying war is bad while profiting off of it.
Looks like she studied “unintended consequences” and made a good argument based on rational logic.
If Western countries really wanted to scare war criminals around the World, perhaps even enough to make them stop their crimes, we could simply prosecute our own war criminals. Nothing would scare them more, than seeing such powerful proof that we really, truly mean business about international law […]
I’ve been hoping the Russia/Ukraine situation would distract the USA and help lessen the heat on the Global South, and that may be happening.
Sounds about similar to the average US citizen’s opinions about the invasion of Iraq. A few for, a few against, a few without opinions.

By Peter Zeihan on March 9, 2022 The Biden administration is shopping around with some less than savory potential partners in order to lessen the blow of energy sanctions against Russia. Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Iran – all well known and fairly maligned regimes from right, left, and center […]
This is from the Gateson Institute, an international neocon think tank of which John Bolton was once the chairman. By Richard Kemp, Gatestone Institute [Putin] is now also demanding the nuclear disarming of Europe. Putin’s next targets could be Moldova or the Baltic states which, like Ukraine, he […]
Bryan Caplan, March 02, 2022 Ukraine is offering amnesty plus five million rubles to anyone who deserts from the Russian army and agrees to go to a Ukrainian prison. That’s about $48,000, probably several years’ pay for a young Russian worker. On the surface, this sounds like a […]

By Caitlin Johnstone Just your regular reminder that the US empire (A) had solid intelligence that this war was coming, (B) knew they could prevent it by making very reasonable, low-cost concessions like promising not to add a nation to NATO that they didn’t want to add anyway, […]
By Gábor T. Rittersporn TELOS I was completely wrong when I opined on February 9 that the Russians would not invade Ukraine. I mistakenly took them for more rational than they turned out to be. Mea maxima culpa. For the rest, I was not mistaken at all when I […]

By Peter Zeihan on March 8, 2022 Russia is finding it increasingly difficult to sell its oil in Europe and other traditional markets, as a mixture of sanctions, market pressures and consumer choice are shifting against Moscow. It’s not that Russia is barred against selling oil. It’s that shippers, […]

By Maximus Brown, Sof Mag Sen Graham is truly unhinged. Even after being called to resign for the sake of Americans with publicly stating that Putin should be assassinated, he continues to be defiant. Even after the corrupt U.S. State Department and Biden explained the illegality of his […]
