The articles are pretty accurate and fair. As a person living there until recently I had no idea Sri Lanka had taken 17 - seventeen - IMF loans, as ci...

I looks like it is totally upto President Zelesnkyy and his brothers-in-arms in the West, so it is his call. So it makes to sense as to what will sati...

While we are at it, what about the Obama- Biden regime? Would't that be a nice change?

Check the number of people leaving Ukraine before the SMO and their incomes vs Russia. Not all that great.
April 14, 2022 at 08:14
I am not for the death of the good Vlad. A more subtle exit strategy would be to finish off the SMO one way or another declare 'victory' and step down...

Well if that is the way the Biden Regime thinks then it all makes sense to surround China and prepare for the ultimate war with China. It only require...

This is all possible by the manufacture of consent, and the two-party - divide-the-country approach to US politics. The ultimate triumph of any evil e...

Judging from the media lead-up, there is a perfect opportunity now for Ukraine to use chemical weapons with 'impunity'. Not saying that they will, how...

I just saw that, thanks, quite enjoyed it. It is the kind of thing that Prime Minister Johnson does from time to time, and we have to figure out what ...

The opinion of the rest of the world is that this horrific conflict should end as soon as possible. However, as you mentioned, President Putin may not...

Which only proves that people have to constantly maintain efforts avoid the outbreak of war. This time 'diplomacy failed' I guess.

Didn't the war start because of the 2014 coup in Ukraine, and if Russia had somehow prevented the coup from taking place, then it would have avoided w...

I agree, the war itself, any war, is a sort of atrocity. It is a macabre twist of civilized conduct to have conventions for the conduct of war, the Ge...

As discussed before, an United States of Europe is a threat to the United States of America, which may explain the dynamics of the current situation.
