Even in the best-case scenario that their tensions remain manageable, NATO will still solidify its presence along Ukraine’s southwestern flank which also serves as the Black Sea’s northwestern one, thus doubling the potential trouble that the bloc could one day pose for Russia. Moldova’s ruling “Party of Action & Solidarity” […]
This would result in the de facto new Iron Curtain and associated NATO influence stretching up to whatever the new Russian-Ukrainian border might be by the time the conflict ends. Poland and Ukraine signed a drone warfare cooperation agreement that’ll see Ukraine share its relevant experiences with Poland, both of them jointly […]
Even worse, it would be all because of Zelensky’s lust for money and power, not any legitimate reason. Trump’s flip-flop on Ukraine was explained here as being partially due to him responding to the whispers of warmongers like Zelensky, who boasted afterwards that “Gradually, (Trump) realized that Putin was simply sharing some information that […]
It’s difficult to believe that Russia would so brazenly provoke NATO at the risk of ruining talks with the US and consequently escalating tensions, but that’s what some want Trump to think so that he’ll respond to the three such claims this month thus far in precisely that way. Western […]
Banning the AfD, more “statistically conspicuous” deaths of its candidates, and even a repeat of the Romanian scenario can’t be ruled out as the nationalist opposition continues growing in popularity. A poll from publicly financed German media revealed that the AfD once again ties the ruling CDU in popularity at […]
These are being advanced through a combination of information warfare and support for anti-government (Brussels-organized) “NGOs” (BONGOs). Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto warned in a Facebook post last month after talks with his Slovak and Serbian counterparts that Brussels is plotting regime change against them. This comes after Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service […]
The most that Poland might gain is remaining in the US’ good graces in the hope it’ll at least retain its troops there instead of curtail them like some have reported it might do, but the trade-off is that Poland might fall further out of the EU’s good graces and […]
The EU would plunge into a full-blown recession if it complied, but that might be what Trump wants so as to bankrupt its companies and thus give US ones a greater edge in the newly tariff-free EU market. Trump proposed in a social media post over the weekend that NATO stop buying […]
He finally accepts the impossibility of restoring Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders. Zelensky recently told ABC News that “Victory, to my mind, Putin’s goal is to occupy Ukraine, this is to destroy us, occupy, and did he occupy it?…He didn’t occupy us, we win, and I think so, because we have our country.” This […]
Some commentators on both sides think that this might lead to World War III. NATO forces directly intercepted Russian drones for the first time since the special operation began after some of them veered into Poland earlier this week, with this unprecedented incident arguably being due to NATO jamming as explained here. Some commentators […]
