Highlighting civilian deaths is a proven propaganda tactic. So is making believe that this is the only war ever fought in history - recent history. Ob...

One of the sacred traditions of this earth is to laud mass-killers as great men. I deplore it, but that it is. I refuse to use the title "Alexander th...

About 'poor' nations which I have some familiarity with, it is the external shocks that prevent them taking the path of peaceful development. One opti...

Being specific about who benefits, who has the upper hand, etc is very welcome. Some suspect that certain politicians also get paid sums of money by a...

You are on heck of an optimist. Yes, I hope so, we all need to eat.

Here is a new one: BBC hosting a clip from Russian TV accusing the Nationalists of using human shields in effect. Whom does it help, really? Russian s...

It is nice to have a scholarly analysis of the options that were available. How people can coolly discuss military actions that will kill and injure m...

This is certainly good news. Which port will they use to export it? https://www.producer.com/daily/map-of-ukraines-wheat-producing-districts/

Another predictive piece: Interesting: These pressures could set conditions for what we assess to be Putin’s preferred course of action, which focuses...

This instance of tiresome propaganda needs highlighting: I guess they could report that the Ukrainian troops met 'little resistance'

Worth it? The number of people killed in the 911 WTC attacks and the number of soldiers sent over to Iraq so that the enemy could conveniently kill th...

I began to suspect this from the way the U.S. has been acting with regard to Ukraine and Russia, creating division between the two. As I read this, ab...

What the Russians believed is besides the point. We can easily verify if they have met their objectives if a peace deal is signed (assuming it is sign...

I finally understand this land bridge thing. So there will have to be a border and a passage through the Eastern regions? Sounds risky, prone to gueri...

How this could have been prevented: Well let's imagine the President of the United States (whoever he is could be even Donald Duck for all I care, sai...

You have to agree that from a military point of view, nuclear weapons are very attractive. Generals do not have to worry about politics. My question i...

Well yes, but I look at the Wikipedia facts on the recent history of Ukraine. While Russia or NATO can be blamed for the conflict there were a string ...

In that case, let me ask you, if you were in put in President Putin's position: What do you think are the threats to your country? "Existential Threat...

I think you are all missing something here. President Biden is voicing the increasingly popular statement that "Putin cannot remain in power" - maybe ...

I agree, but from the view of military experts, whether they are capable of achieving objectives or not, taking those two territories may not have bee...

What you say makes sense, however, there is analysis and there is cheer-leading. I am prepared to do both, however, with the information I have, some ...

One can support invasion or acting in bad faith to prevent something worse from happening, I do not advocate either, just pointing out the options.

Russia would have lost less lives surrendering to the Nazis. There seems to be more at stake here, a flag perhaps?

I believe he knew the risks, sanctions were already in place, and more were threatened. The question is, if he did nothing about security threats to R...

Another case of news-shaping here, this time from Britannica and Wikipedia. If the rot has got to the encylcolaedias and our history books, we are in ...

Here is the Ukranian summary version, which, if accurate, does provide some background.
