The Cold War Culture War is alive and well…

An end to the bloodshed won’t be SWIFT

The early evidence indicates that the latest plot to kill Donald Trump was directed by one or more persons in Ukraine. But you wouldn’t know that from the mainstream media, reports Joe Lauria.

Donald Trump expresses interest in a personal meeting with Vladimir Putin, but nevertheless continues to postpone the date of a possible summit, believing that Moscow, at the moment, is not yet ready.

On April 11, 1945, the U.S. took over the Buchenwald concentration camp. But it was communist prisoners who organised and liberated the Nazi camp. Today, such heroic victories of anti-fascist resistance are under attack.

With negotiations for a peace agreement in Ukraine now underway, and Washington signalling a possible détente with the Kremlin, European states are doing everything they can to obstruct the process. New sanctions are being slapped on Moscow. Weapons are being rushed to the frontlines. Money is being freed up for rearmament, with Britain, France and Germany aiming to increase their defence budgets to at least 3% of GDP, and the EU planning to create a ‘voluntary fund’ of up to €40 billion for military aid. Macron and Starmer are seeking to deploy troops to Ukraine in the event of a possible ceasefire, supposedly to offer ‘reassurance’ – despite the no-brainer that only neutral soldiers could act as credible peacekeepers.
