In recent days, the architect of Ukraine’s misery, Victoria Nuland, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, kind dispenser of cookies and terminal advice to the EU, and a woman (yes, I assumed her gender) with a visceral, some would say psychotic, hatred of all things Russian, has, it seems, opened her mouth and accidentally spoken the truth about the military conflict in Ukraine…

In early December, the Russian-language Internet was abuzz with the Washington Post (WP), which published a story on 4 December stating that indirect supplies of South Korean 155 mm artillery shells to Ukraine had made it a larger supplier of ammunition to Kyiv than all European countries combined. It has been claimed that Washington’s own production capacity for this type of ammunition is just over 1/10 of Ukraine’s demand, which reaches over 90,000 shells per month. In this connection, the US President’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan drew attention to South Korea…

It makes one wonder with “glee and awe”, a strange combination of words, and is almost as good as shock and awe, as if they actually believein the headlines they write, and if they are so naïve to actually believe in the fairy tales they are spreading. Now it seems that the U.S. and Ukraine are searching for a New Strategy after a Failed Counteroffensive, as reported by the NYTs.  “We can’t let Putin win” said Biden as he pressed Congress for a new round of funding for Ukraine…

In mid-August as Ukraine’s offensive remained stalled on the battlefield, Russian officials claimed the US was pressuring Southeast Asia to transfer Soviet-made arms to Ukraine. In a TASS article titled, “US twists arms of Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia to send Soviet weapons to Kiev — top brass,” it was claimed that the purpose of doing this was to “prolong the conflict in Ukraine by all possible means.” The development reflects a much larger problem the US and its allies face as they continue encouraging Ukraine to fight Russian forces…

NATO member names true sponsors of the Ukrainian conflict

On the 78th anniversary of the liberation from fascism in World War II, the world’s attention is increasingly focused on the causes and developments of the Ukrainian conflict. Even today, it is no secret in the United States and its Western allies that the main reason for the conflict in Ukraine is the recognition by the Western political elite that the defeat of a Nazi regime in Ukraine, raised by Washington, means the end of the unipolar world. That is why NATO countries, led by the United States, are doing everything possible to prolong the military conflict, to inflict maximum damage on Russia and, ultimately, its defeat. Following American financial attempts…

South Korea and the scandal with the leak of secret US documents. President Yoon Seok Yeol

Several Pentagon and CIA documents relating to the Ukraine crisis surfaced on the Internet in early April. If the contents of the revealed documents are accurate, we are currently seeing the biggest leak of private American records since Edward Snowden’s 2013 exposures. We are, however, interested in the Korean aspect of the controversy because…

When the scenario is all mapped out, with different and various levels of conflict between the West and Russia, it is easy to conclude that lots of preparation and game theory has gone into the proffered reports by various think tanks, RAND, Atlantic Council, NATO, EU, etc. But include that with the level of diligence, it is highly ironic…

“The West is Playing with Fire in Ukraine,” “The Russian-Ukrainian Conflict and the Achilles’ Heel,” “Why Europe is Splitting over Ukraine Arms Deliveries.” These and similar headlines in the Middle Eastern publications reflect the response of local media and political circles to the West’s recent increase in arms deliveries to Kyiv. According to local analysts, the West…

In recent weeks, the United States and its NATO allies have begun discussions about providing Ukraine with a wider array of weaponry ranging from Western main battle tanks and longer-range munitions, to even Western warplanes. The “doubling down” by the West comes at a time when NATO’s stockpiles of Soviet-era equipment runs…

From the most recent lunacy propagated by western “democracies,” my recent suggestion that Washington wants to give half of Ukraine to Poland may have merit. But, news, the Germans have been blackmailed into sending some old Leopard tanks to Ukraine bears watching since this move will undoubtedly sever Russo-German ties for good...

Some powerful people – especially, the Neo-conservatives (Neocons) – in the US are getting desperate to defeat Russia in Ukraine. They think the US and NATO are not doing enough, leading Russia to win in Ukraine. Their basic premise is that the US must do much more than it has been doing i.e., providing weapons worth billions, to Ukraine, because...

US appears to be in the process of transferring its Patriot air defense missile system to Ukraine. CNN in its article, “Exclusive: US finalizing plans to send Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine,” claims the US will approve and then quickly ship the system or systems into Ukraine in just days after the decision is made. Paradoxically...
