Russia also intensified its bombing of cities on Tuesday, […]
By Grayson Quay The Week Simon & Garfunkel once described a scenario in which “friends just can’t be found,” and one can easily imagine that, following Wednesday’s United Nations vote condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin and company might find solace in listening to “Bridge […]
Even in Vietnam, the Soviet Union realized that they couldn’t completely humiliate the United States because they didn’t want to risk massive escalation. They wanted to weaken the US but not start a nuclear war. Towards the end of the war, they were pushing Hanoi to the diplomatic […]

Ferocious shelling in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv has killed at least 21 people and injured over a hundred in the last 24 hours, say local authorities
Free Thought Project In case you haven’t noticed, a line is being drawn in the sand: you either stand with Ukraine and unquestioningly parrot the establishment narrative — or you are an agent of the Kremlin. The war propaganda is palpable and we haven’t seen anything like this […]
by Brian Czech People tend to think of Russia as a wide-open country with plenty of space for economic growth. While it may take days to ride the trans-Siberian railway, any notion of an empty Russia is as antiquated as Dr. Zhivago. European Russia, especially, has been cultivated, […]

By Craig Murray I could not believe Putin really would invade Ukraine, because I could see no sensible outcome for him. I still cannot. Initiating a war on this scale has no legal justification, and no moral justification either. Russian troops are in areas which have no wish […]
By Jack Mirkinson People following the mainstream coverage of Ukraine are getting an excellent lesson in media double standards. Running alongside the ongoing horror of the war in Ukraine has been a pernicious thread of racism and hypocrisy in some of the coverage of the conflict. If you […]
The last time wheat exports from the former Soviet space were limited, it was due to a poor Siberian harvest in 2010. Within a few months wheat prices doubled globally, tripling in the markets heavily dependent upon Russia’s low-quality output. The region most affected was North Africa and […]

By Caitlin Johnstone Kremlin-backed media outlets have been banned throughout the European Union, both on television and on apps and online platforms. RT has lost its Sky TV slot in the UK, where the outlet is also blocked on YouTube. Australian TV providers SBS and Foxtel have dropped […]
By Caitlin Johnstone It’s just incredible how even after all this time, after all those wars, after all those lies, it’s not even occurring to most mainstream westerners to investigate whether the US could possibly have had anything to do with starting the war in Ukraine. There’s one […]
By David Livingstone Facebook has been targeting QAnon ads towards those interested in alternative health, resulting in what academics have identified as “Conspirituality,” a strange blend of the New Age movement and right-wing conspiracy theories.[1] The merger of these seemingly paradoxical influences can be traced back to David […]

By Agya K. Aning The Cut Last August, only a week after Onnie Brown had moved into a rust-colored, ranch-style home in Phoenix, Arizona, a stranger started banging on her door, looking for someone named Ricky. “Ain’t no damn Ricky here,” she retorted to the scraggly white man. […]
By Natalie Winters, The National Pulse The stories have also been peddled by so-called conservative representatives and news networks, none of which have issued corrections yet.
