Realizing NATO’s war with Russia will likely end unfavorably, the US is test-driving an exit offer. But why should Moscow take indirect proposals seriously, especially on the eve of its new military advance and while it is in the winning seat?

Two of my favorite New York Times words are “shadowy” and “murky.” They are brilliantly suited to the Manichean version of our world the Times inflicts daily upon its unsuspecting readers.

Former Fox News analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano talks with Col. Douglas Macgregor on the current state of the war in Ukraine.

NATO fantasizes about conquering Crimea in order to control the Black Sea, but this reckless move is likely to backfire and intensify Russian resistance.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Tulsi Gabbard about the dangers of the U.S. becoming involved in a proxy war with Russia; why both political parties gave endless praise to Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s speech to congress; what the media won’t tell you about Zelenskyy’s undemocratic policies in Ukraine; why funding Ukraine is putting millions of Americans at risk of war; how Joe Biden is failing to lead on America’s foreign policy plans; and much more.

“We are fighting a war against Russia,” the German Foreign Minister says, as the US and Germany authorize tank shipments, and new dangers, in the Ukraine proxy war.
