The world has never been closer to a nuclear war, in a global situation more dangerous than the Cuban missile crisis.

The same could be said of all other European countries that have voluntarily cut themselves off from Russian gas supplies thought sanctions, coming on top of the […]

Lost in all the chatter about “defending Ukrainian democracy” coming from officials in the U.S. and U.K. governments and spokesmen for the European Union is a simple reality that these fraudsters are doing their best to keep hidden: the post-coup governments of Ukraine — including that of Zelensky — have moved to silence all domestic opposition, by shutting down press […]
