Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

These are very dangerous conversations -- saying that Europe has nothing to fear and that, in the event of an invasion of Western countries, Russia would not win, since Putin couldn’t "even" defeat Ukraine.

It is not merely that one must under no circumstances continue appeasing Putin by keeping Ukraine out of NATO -- now every thinking person should be practically praying for a force like Ukraine to be part of the free world's collective defense.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Trump's bridge blockade is an aggressive act of economic warfare against Canada designed to undermine us. No one should doubt Trump's willingness to impose a larger economic blockade against Canada to coerce Canadians into submission. The US is pursuing its aggressive goals.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Over the past few months, Russia has attacked this critical infrastructure site 13 times with ballistic missiles, yet the chimneys are only a small part of the damage.

History teaches us that when the Americans behave that way -- from South Vietnam to the Kurds -- their intent to betray is already decided. Therefore, it is time to deceive them. Smile, pretend to go along, but prepare to go alone. Survival is everything. America is just another country.

the questions the story raises are uncomfortable:
Why the hell aren't we doing anything to stop Ru? Why is Europe not introducing a sky shield over Ukrainian cities? Why are we going through the motions of doomed "peace talks" instead of punishing Ru's warmongering?

Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure bear the characteristics of the crime of genocide, a war crime, and a crime against humanity, as they predictably lead to mass suffering and are a policy of "destruction of living conditions."

Tracks of missiles and drones used by fascist Russia in its latest Blitz air raid on democratic Ukraine. Putin's latest tactic has been to use sham peace talks and a fake "energy truce" to ward off sanctions and buy more time to destroy Ukraine's energy system.

It isn't just "abolish the EU". The 🇺🇸regime is also trying to dissolve the Canadian federation by supporting #Albexit.
The reasons are the same: It is much easier for America to vassalise a small or medium country, whether it be Alberta, Hungary or the UK, than it is to control a large federation.
