Nexus X HumectressImagine if there was a revolution similar to what the USSR and Warsaw Pact experienced in the late 80s/early 90s only on a much larger scale with the Russian, American, and Chinese regimes collapsing at the same time. Krystal and Saagar cover Russia’s domestic crackdown on outside social […]

By Grayson Quay The Week The U.S. and NATO are not imposing sanctions on Russia and offering military support to Ukraine with the goal of bringing about regime change in Russia, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation. Blinken told host Margaret Brennan that sanctions […]
As long as the war is confined to Ukraine, it’s just another war, like Russia’s previous wars in Georgia and Chechnya. The danger for the rest of the world involves the possible expansion of the war to NATO countries and the invocation of Article V. By Brigid Kennedy […]
By Clint Siegner, Money Metals Exchange Money Metals The dishonest fiat Federal Reserve Note “dollar” is slowly dying and will eventually need to be replaced with something more trustworthy. Perhaps it will be presented to Americans as a series of dramatic monetary reforms. Maybe people will be using […]

This guy gets it. Some of his talks are available on YouTube. Idris Robinson, Ill Will August 16th, 2020 The following is a transcript of a talk delivered in Seattle on July 20, 2020, lightly-edited by the author for readability. A video recording produced by Red May is […]

It’s funny how little free-market capitalists can handle free-market competition.
By Patrick Cockburn, Counterpunch Russian tanks and artillery are deploying to attack Kyiv and Kharkiv, but, even if they succeed in capturing the cities, this will not alter the fact that Russia has already been defeated in the war in Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin started a war he […]
My recent appearance on Cotto-Gottfried. LISTEN HERE
By W. James Antle III, The Week The Russian invasion of Ukraine has turned out to be a much tougher slog than the Kremlin anticipated. The Kyiv offensive appears stalled. The morale of Russia’s conscripts is poor. Instead of swiftly folding, Ukraine is fighting back. None of this […]
By Ed West There is now neither German nor French, Swiss nor Swede… A few years back we were holidaying in the Vendée, a gentle and family-friendly part of France famous for the horrors of Jacobinism. In one of those deserted French villages where the median age is […]
By Damon Linker The Week Prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it was common for analysts in the West to presume a war on Europe’s eastern edge would provoke rancorous division over how to respond within the European Union and NATO. Some economic sanctions would undoubtedly be imposed. But […]
By Christopher Cadelago Politico DUBOIS, Pa. — In the pandemic’s darkest days, a man living across the street from a Methodist church in this small town raised a flag in front of his house emblazoned with the words “Fuck Biden.” Neighbors were so repulsed they brought it up […]
By Matt Taibbi Reports suggest Putin tried to outsmart even his own troops, and checkmated himself instead. Farida Rustamova of the BBC’s Russian service, in a piece written for Substack, described the demeanor of Putin’s closest advisors days before the invasion: As a former security officer, [Putin] always […]
Anders Åslund on the shock of global isolation and the escalating risk of economic ruin. “Russia’s economy is experiencing serious blows,” the Kremlin acknowledged on Wednesday. Which may be putting it mildly, given the scope of the reaction of world leaders, international corporations, and other powerful global organizations since […]
By Caitlin Johnstone Multiple American podcasters who speak critically of the political status quo in their country are reporting that their channels have been shut down as the censorship campaign against Russia-backed media continues to escalate. These include Moment of Clarity with Lee Camp, The Politics of Survival […]
By Caitlin Johnstone We’re risking a very fast, very radioactive World War 3 to defend the “democracy” of a nation whose government bans opposition parties, imprisons political opponents, shuts down opposition media, and takes all its orders from Washington due to a US-backed coup in 2014. “Defending Ukrainian […]
By Caitlin Johnstone The war is not going well for Kyiv, and it would be unreasonable to expect that to change. As a vastly superior military force overwhelms the US client state, reality is in the process of crashing down hard in the face of western liberals who […]
By Elon Musk, The Week SpaceX founder Elon Musk said Saturday that he would not ban Russian news sources from his Starlink satellite network, Business Insider reported. “Starlink has been told by some governments (not Ukraine) to block Russian news sources. We will not do so unless at […]
By Grayson Quay The Week Over 11,000 Russian troops have been killed in the 10 days since the invasion of Ukraine began, the Ukrainian military’s general staff said on Sunday, according to Reuters. On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky put the number of dead Russian soldiers at 6,000. […]
By Saoirse Gowan The Week Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggressive, immoral, and illegal invasion of Ukraine that began last month has only continued to escalate. Putin’s troops have begun shelling civilian populations in Kharkiv and Kyiv, and the risk of nuclear strike or accident continues to loom. But where Ukrainians […]
The Signal Publishing in public beta since 2021, The Signal has looked at the challenges to democracy in the world as a central theme—and the evolution of the Putin regime in Russia as a key aspect of it. Recently, we spoke with Garry Kasparov about how this regime has worked, […]
By Jon Schwarz, The Intercept Sincere internal criticism of the U.S. — or any country — often sounds a lot like insincere foreign criticism. A minor squall on Twitter this past week may have largely gone unnoticed amid the larger hurricane about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But it’s […]
By Ryan Grim, The Intercept YouTube knocked a show I co-host, The Hill’s “Rising,” off the air. The politics morning show “Rising,” produced by The Hill and which I currently co-host, was suspended by YouTube on Thursday for allegedly violating the platform’s rules around election misinformation. Two infractions […]
By Liliana Segura, Jordan Smith The Intercept Dr. Thomas Young is adamant: Melissa Lucio should not be put to death. “This would be a horrible, horrible tragedy if she ends up getting executed over this,” he said. “It’s just not right.” Young is a veteran forensic pathologist and […]
By Koh Ewe VICE Women have played a vital role in Ukraine’s national defense since 2014, as the number of female recruits has grown in response to Russian aggression. Kristina had been living with her family in Italy for over a decade, working at the supermarket and singing […]
LA Progressive By now everyone knows that Ukraine’s flag is blue and yellow. It is impossible to miss as the Empire State Building in New York, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris have all been bathed in those colors. Nearly every city and […]
Another Michael Kelly. By Natalie O’Neill New York Post A Sky News journalist was wounded in a terrifying gunfire ambush while covering Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, he said in a report Friday. Chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his team came under fire by Russian attackers near a […]

Goals, Goats, and Guns Vladimir Putin has become the pivotal figure of the 21st century. Of that there is no doubt. The size and breadth of the ground operation in Ukraine, despite some mistakes, has been impressive. Before I go any farther I want to make sure that […]
Caleb Maupin’s suspicion that this guy is a mole or an asset must be correct. For many years, I have attacked these leftist-anarchist people as “anarcho-Democrats,” anarcho-MSNBCers, anarcho-SPLCers, or “State Department anarchists” but this is the first I’ve seen them actually embrace these labels on this level.
A bit of perspective is needed. Ukraine is only one of many wars going on today and nowhere near the worst one. Most people wouldn’t even know about it if television hadn’t turned into an extension of the Olympics. Now that coronavirus hysteria is passing, a new hysteria […]
By Bill Roggia, Anti-Empire Wishful thinking has the upper hand in the battle to shape Western perceptions of the war in Ukraine. Sympathy for the outnumbered and outgunned defenders of Kyiv has led to the exaggeration of Russian setbacks, misunderstanding of Russian strategy, and even baseless claims from amateur […]
By Malaka Gharib PBS It’s a fact of modern life that some wars get more attention than others. And Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has captured the public’s attention in the West in a way that other recent wars — like those in Yemen or Ethiopia — simply haven’t. […]

You can always count on Sean Hannity for deep intellectual thoughts
The reason these companies are doing this is so they can make themselves look good. They don’t actually care. They’re just pretending that they’re doing something, whereas in reality they are making things increasingly worse.
“Everyone’s cheering for Germany to build up its military” is not a phrase I thought I’d be hearing in my lifetime, lol
