    This time around it’s against Israeli occupation, in the backdrop of the looming defeat of the United States and NATO in the Ukraine War — presenting a spectacle of history repeating unabridged.

    How did they justify this statement? A press release from Putin. Not really interested in what else they have to say.

      Effectively, yes.

      The consortium just linked to the original story from Indian Punchline (the author’s personal blog) where the author quoted the statement from a TASS article.

      It’s not hard hitting, factual news. It’s an OpEd piece from a blogger.

      If we wrapped Robert Parry’s corpse with copper wire and surrounded his casket with magnets, we could probably power a small city with the electricity from him turning over in his grave at how far Consortium News has fallen in publishing articles like this.

      Even in the absence of any other considerations, Russia can grind Ukraine down. The US needed an effective counteroffensive, because a war of attrition only benefits Russia. Unfortunately, that counteroffensive was an abject failure.

    Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the coverage of actual diplomatic motions and communications. We are certainly moving out of the pax Americana and into a new multi-polar global order. At this point, I’ll be happy as long as it doesn’t end in nuclear confrontation / apocalypse.

    Yes as we all know, any minute now Israel will fall and bring the US down with it. I’m all about the Israel being destroyed, but the US doesn’t need Israel and can continue being a global hegemony without Israel as it exists today. So can Europe, and Iran and China. Israel just isn’t that important and will be forgotten on the world stage as soon as the US stops supporting it.
