By Matt Taibbi How many examples of “regime change” blowing up in our faces do we really need before realizing that it’s a disastrous policy? Will we really try it with a nuclear-armed adversary? Not long ago, candidate Joe Biden’s most troubling behavioral tendency was the surprise outburst […]

This map created something of a stir when I posted it on social media, in part because its claims are so counter to conventional wisdom in many instances. An enlarged version is available here. The conventional wisdom is that we are moving toward an era of multipolarity with […]
As the war in Ukraine rages on, Putin may have set his sights on another target. Find out the full story here…
By Sohrab Ahmari, The American Conservative Much has been made of Joe Biden’s instantly reversed call for regime change in Moscow. Speaking in Warsaw, the president said of Vladimir Putin, “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.” The words sent his staffers scrambling to cleanup on […]

By Joel Mathis The Week The Western world has a Goldilocks problem in Ukraine: It wants to support that country’s defense against Russia’s invasion, and to do it just the right amount. Too little help and Ukrainians might be left at Russian President Vladimir Putin’s mercy; too much […]
NBC host Chuck Todd said the idea of negotiating a peace deal with Russia makes him “uncomfortable,” which shouldn’t come as a surprise since the corporate media almost always gets in line 100 percent behind war. He also inquires whether “we” should let Putin and Russia back into […]
This past week, on Meet the Press, NBC host Chuck Todd acknowledged that there may be neo-Nazis fighting in Ukraine against Russia, but in such cases it’s important to support the “lesser of two evils,” meaning the neo-Nazis. Sometimes, he says, you need to have “ambiguity” about these […]
Briahna spoke with distinguished fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft in Washington, D.C & former president of The Ploughshares Fund, a public grant-making foundation focused on nuclear nonproliferation and conflict resolution, about the cold hard facts of hot nuclear war. How is the security of “mutually […]
Krystal and Saagar respond to the media coverage supporting Biden’s call for regime change in Russia in a summit with NATO leaders in what would be a major escalation to the war in Ukraine
The fact that there’s even a possibility that Putin saw Vaush’s tweet and prompted this response in his Ukraine Invasion speech is fucking crazy.
It can be naive to think that someone saying something to the media is the same agreeing something to the people who matter (like the actual Russian government)

By William S. Lind, Traditional Right As of this writing (March 19), the Russian invasion of Ukraine is stuck in the mud. That is bad news for Russia, because time favors Ukraine. As Western military aid pours in and Ukraine mobilizes all its resources, the correlation of forces […]
Peter Zeihan gives his presentation on the changing character of war at the Maneuver Warfighter Conference.
One thing that I respect about Peter Zeihan is that in spite of his own “pro-Atlanticist and pro-globalist” views (his own self-description) he still does serious and seemingly accurate geopolitical analysis, even if his perspective is the polar opposite of my own anti-imperialist perspective. Demetri Kofinas speaks with […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley In my lazy little corner of rural Central Pennsylvanian Trump country there has always been a sizeable minority of Russian emigres. I honestly have zero idea why but at some point, some lonely Soviet refugee found this bucolic […]
“The line was not in Biden’s prepared remarks, a separate White House official said.” Bullshit. I suspect this speech was written for him by some neocon douchebag in the State Department. Biden probably had no idea what he was reading from the teleprompter. When he speaks off the […]
By Murtaza Hussain The Intercept Despite being browbeaten by the U.S., a growing number of Asian, African, and Latin American countries are charting a neutral path. IN THE LATE 1990S, at a time when U.S. global dominance still looked invincible, Singaporean diplomat and academic Kishore Mahbubani raised questions about […]

By Anya Zoledziowski Vice Shortly after Russia first invaded Ukraine in February, Polish civilians started flocking to shooting ranges to learn how to use AK-47s, Glocks, and more.

Katie Halper discusses mainstream media narratives regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The move toward urbanization and the packing in of Russian families into state-built tenement multifamily housing pushed birthrates down. As did the economic downtown of the late Soviet era. We see this everywhere. In Russian industry and innovation. In their crumbling infrastructure. And most important, in their government […]
The fact that the media is more hawkish on Ukraine/Russia than the media illustrates the differences between the old guard foreign policy elite, from which Biden received his tutelage and the younger neocon/neoliberal types who dominate the media. The new wave of foreign policy elites is more extreme […]
Sean Hannity pretending to care about “dead women and children” is equal parts hilarious and sickening.
After Putin’s attacks on Ukraine, the US White House, the EU and much of the rest of the world hit Russia with strong sanctions targeting their access to key technologies and the global financial system. From chip imports to SWIFT, the sanctions are hard and many companies also […]

The Iraq war was the height of American arrogance. Premeditated, unsanctioned, unlawful, and last but not least unilateral aggression against a country that did not threaten the US in any way.
