The war enthusiasm is off the charts.
- What would a victory look like?
- Russia considers this an existential threat
- If Russia was losing to NATO/Ukraine, it would likely use nuclear weapons. Much like the US would use nukes if it was defeated in a Russian proxy war in Mexico

The media has yet again dumbed down the legal battle in Georgia over a new law on NGOs. Instead of a rational discussion about the role of NGOs in public diplomacy, we are served mindless propaganda about a struggle of good vs evil, freedom versus authoritarianism, Europe vs

Security dependence can be converted into economic loyalty & the US thus lost much influence over Europe as peace broke out after the Cold War
- Those days are over. Europe severs itself from rival centers of power, becoming weaker and dependent on the US

How is it possible that none of our journalists can report on CIA Director Burns warning in 2008?:
- The threat of NATO expansion could trigger a Civil War in Ukraine & Russia would have to decide if it will intervene - 'a decision Russia does not want to have to face'
- This

Poor Ukrainians being 'recruited' on their way home from work
- There is not much compassion for these men here in the West, unless compassion can be used to mobilise public opinion & resources for war

The world is heading toward world war as economic competition is militarised between the great powers. Yet, we deny ourselves course correction as our wars are sold to the public as a virtuous struggle between liberal democracy and authoritarianism

Another hit piece on me in the media this week from the Norwegian Helsinki Committee - yet again. I repost this tweet as a reminder that these state/NED- financed 'human rights organisations' are proven propaganda outlets.

The Nation reports in great detail how the Western media whitewashed Nazi groups to make them acceptable allies:
- Propaganda demands that all complexity is simplified and dumbed down to a struggle between good & evil / between democracy & authoritarianism

Bad analysis produces bad policies:
- In 2016 election, the media disseminated Russiagate hoax.
- In 2020 election, the media disseminated the hoax that the Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
- In 2024 election, will the media uncritically repeat accusations against China?

- The EU steals Russian assets
- Russia retaliates by seizing EU assets
- The EU accuses Russia of violating international law

What all the media reported about Navalny was obviously nonsense, but everyone had to fall in line and dissent from the narrative was punished
- Much like the Russiagate hoax there will be no self-reflection as self-delusion is the new patriotism
