OLIVER BOYD-BARRETT—This incident has the gravest possible significance. It has blind-sided Hezbollah on the very eve of a war that Israel has declared on Hezbollah. If, as seems possible, Hezbollah defenses are significantly impaired as a result, then of course the anticipated Israeli assault has more chance of winning. That possible eventuality, its probable chances now greater than before, may be sufficient to force Iran’s hand in the defense of Hezbollah and, also, Lebanon and Syria, igniting the regional war that Netanayu badly wants.

EDITOR—Garland and Laith analyse how Israel’s depraved attack on Palestinians is now generating a “long war of attrition” whereby the “Axis of Resistance”—Hezbollah, Syria, Iran, Hamas, Iraq, and Yemen’s Houthis, among others—may emerge as the victor, with a possible dissolution of Zionist Israel itself as incompatible with regional and universal values, and ultimately unsustainable from a military, diplomatic, political and economic perspective.

EDITOR—Garland carefully examines Russia’s options in the face of unrelenting hostility and aggression by the West through its Ukraine proxy, and now directly through NATO assets in a new phase of the Ukraine conflict involving the firing of long-range missiles on Russian cities and sensitive strategic infrastructure. Garland does not believe that, even at this dangerous juncture, Moscow will resort to nuclear weapons or other drastic forms of military retaliation but, instead, will simply use its enormous economic clout to seriously wound the NATO alliance by denying the West a large number of sensitive resources its requires for its normal economic and strategic functioning. Things like oil, heavy petroleum, titanium, etc., all of which are essential for the production of advanced aviation, computers, electricity generation (via nuclear plants), domestic fuel for heating, and so on. If Russia does this, there will not be a nuclear war, but the Western populations will experience first-hand the huge problems created by the betrayal of their ruling circles as a consequence of their slavish alliance with Washington and support for its criminal and idiotic wars.

SCOTT RITTER—In writing How the Chechen miracle kick-started the Russian ‘Path of Redemption’, Helping Crimea recover from decades of Ukrainian misrule is a tough but necessary challenge, We are witnessing the bittersweet birth of a new Russia, and Why did it take Russia so long to realize Donbass was worth fighting for?, I provided unique reporting that was unavailable anywhere else in the world – Western media outlets would never allow such reporting to be published on their pages or websites, and Russian news outlets had never seen such reporting from an independent Western perspective.
This is exactly what journalism is supposed to be – hard-hitting, probing analysis based upon first-hand observations derived from access to high-level sourcing.
I picked RT as the publisher of these articles because I wanted this reporting to be available not only to a global English-speaking audience, but also to a Russian audience.
