The Ukrainian leader was angry about information revealed by a leaked document, saying sharing such info in Ukraine was a ‘felony’

Patrick Lawrence celebrates Jacob Seigel’s essay in Tablet magazine on the “hoax of the century.”

Former CIA deputy director Mike Morell admits that the Biden campaign triggered the false claim that the Hunter laptop story was “Russian disinformation.”

As the Russians just reminded us, the science lab in the sky run by them, the Americans and others is the alternative to nationalism and war.

We cannot even begin to fathom the non-stop ripple effects deriving from the 2023 geopolitical earthquake that shook the world: Putin and Xi, in Moscow, de facto signaling the beginning of the end of Pax Americana.

It has become fashionable in the US media in recent months to compare the ongoing war in Ukraine, Europe’s biggest and bloodiest conflict since World War II, with the long drawn-out trench stalemate in World War I. This is all too true: But in precisely the opposite way than the hundreds of ignorant American pundits and politicians parroting this line imagine.

If it is to remain the world’s preeminent power, the United States must focus its attention on the globally ascendant and expansionist China, which, as President Biden acknowledged in his 48-page national security strategy in October, “is the only country with both the intent to reshape the international order and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military and technological power to advance that objective.”

As April 25 approaches, many activists in the United States, Russia, and other countries are preparing for the annual celebration of the event that took place on that date back in 1945, which is known as the “Meeting on the Elbe.” This was a symbolic reunion of American and Soviet soldiers in the German city of Torgau on the eve of their joined victory over the Nazi Germany.

America’s self-inflicted trouble in Ukraine aggravates our dangerous trouble at home.

Suppose that the U.S. were at war with Canada. Don’t laugh; South Park devoted an entire episode to just such a conflagration; if they, with their usual keen insight, could depict such an eventuality, it could indeed actually occur. Also posit that Russia took the side of our neighbor to the north in this altercation. No, Moscow did not declare war on Washington DC, but it did everything else short of that to support Ottawa: it mobilized all of its allies in support of the True North, Strong and Free. Together, they sent tanks, warplanes, ammunition to Canada in order to help this country fight off what they thought of as unjustified aggression from America.
