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 […]

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 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.

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.

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. […]
