The murder and starvation of populations in real time, subject to rolling coverage and commentary, is not usually the done thing. These are the sorts of activities kept quiet and secluded in their vicious execution. In the Gaza Strip, these actions are taking place with a confident, almost brazen assuredness. […]
Russia has removed the ruling Afghan movement from the list of extremist organizations. On April 17, at the request of the Prosecutor General‘s Office in Russia, the Supreme Court of Russia excluded the Afghan Taliban movement from the list of terrorist organizations. Zabihullah Mujahid, a representative of the Islamic Emirate, […]
It was a massacre. Fifteen emergency workers, butchered in cold blood by personnel from the Israeli Defense Forces in southern Gaza on March 23. It all came to light from a video that the IDF did not intend anyone to see, filmed by Red Crescent paramedic Rifaat Radwan in the […]
The odds of everything perfectly unfolding – the UNSC agreeing to have the UN assume control only over “rump Ukraine” and without Kiev’s consent (thus amounting to tacit recognition of Russia’s claims), the UN speedily assembling the large-scale resources required, and then successfully neutralizing all armed Ukrainian resistance – are […]

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic claimed that his country mistakenly voted in support of an anti-Russian resolution at the UNGA, the explanation […]
My article yesterday was “Jeffrey Sachs today insulted the EU’s leaders, and Obama & Biden.” It showed an excerpt (27:50 to the speech’s end at 54:36) from his 54:36-minute speech on February 21 (which was misidentified as having been on February 22) to members of the European Parliament, and none of the […]
