The Chancellor was in Lithuania, where the opening ceremony of a new military base was held. For the first time, Germany decided to deploy a tank brigade outside its borders. This is happening against the background of the incitement of revanchist sentiments in Europe, which are mainly fueled by […]
You need to decode — interpret accurately — the actually relevant facts that are behind ‘the news’, in order to know the REAL news. A good example of this was reported by me on 4 December 2024, under the headline “Reuters reports Trump is set to continue Biden’s policies on Ukraine.” It decoded what […]
Much has already been said about the European Union’s deep-rooted crisis. In 2019, Ursula von der Leyen declared that she wanted to lead a “geopolitical” European Commission, stressing that the EU should become a united global actor.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg remarked that “President Putin started this war because he wanted to close NATO’s door [to Ukraine] and had to deny Ukraine the right […]
He’s known for being a realist, not a wishful thinker, which is why his prediction was so surprising to many observers. Putin predicted a few weeks back that Russia will inevitably reconcile with the EU and Ukraine. Regarding the first, he said that “I have no doubt whatsoever that we will, in […]
In 2022, after the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Europe unequivocally sided with Zelensky, severing all contacts with Moscow. In order to minimize the flow of foreign currency into the Russian budget, Europe even stopped buying energy resources from Russia, switching to the United States and increasing […]
Russia considers it to be a series of military logistics projects sold to the public as economic ones.
