On Friday, the United States granted approval for Germany to transfer 125 long-range artillery rockets and 100 Patriot air-defense missiles to Ukraine, a congressional official confirmed to The New York Times.

Once and for all, we can lay to rest any notion that the Biden administration ever did anything to stop the Gaza genocide.

Walking along the thoroughfares of the Russian capital these days, it’s easy to feel as though you’ve gone “Back to the Future.” Like Marty McFly in the classic 1985 movie, visitors to Moscow might imagine they’ve traveled back in time to the Soviet past, when socialism beat Hitler and the future of communism beckoned on […]

The details of the ceasefire negotiations between the U.S., Europe and Ukraine continue to make headlines despite being largely irrelevant for an end of the conflict in Ukraine.

Although perhaps not yet obvious to Washington, a U.S. war on Iran will be viewed as one against Russia and China too. Both Putin and Xi know that Trump’s war is singularly directed at the transformational global ‘changes they are driving together.’

The way to prevent the Ukraine war from being understood is to suppress its history.

Some world events can look different to those of us onthis side of the Atlantic, also, more precisely, in Berlin. God knows, here too I’m frightened at what Trump, Vance and Musk are doing and planning. Nor do I love Putin. But what I hate above all else is war—and is closer over here. I’m […]

The outcry spread quickly across the Western world: Donald Trump dared say Ukraine started the war.

The Trump administration is increasing its pressure on Ukraine’s (former) president Zelenski to swallow the shit sandwich.

As part of reading up on the JD Vance speech I stumbled over an outrageously arrogant attempt of reader manipulation in the New York Times.

Today the Trump administration told the Ukraine war party that their game is finally up.

Trump Speaks With Putin, Says Talks To End Ukraine War Will Start ‘Immediately’. The Kremlin said the call lasted almost an hour and a half.

Today we are at roughly the same point, but oligarchs think in commercial terms, not social or ethical ones. For the oligarchs, the point on both sides is that the sanctions war over the past three years has created the largest gap between true asset value and trade value which exists in the global market today–this is the gap between the pre-war bankable value of Russian commodities, resources, and corporate assets and their discounted price under sanctions.
