EDITOR—Laith Marouf, with FreePalestine.video, explains how the Israel-Lebanon war is now developing with Hezbollah systematically destroying Israel’s tactical and strategic assets in Northern Palestine (Israel), which tens of thousands of settlers and IDF soldiers have been forced to evacuate due to the increasingly effective Hezbollah bombardments. Israel’s ghastly crimes against Gaza civilians, and the IDF destruction of practically all residential, medical, and administrative buildings in Gaza to deny Palestinians the possibility of returning home, has not won the war for Israel, and as days pass, the chance of a clear victory by the Zionist entity and its sponsors in the West is becoming ever more remote.

Should Vladimir Putin Call His Shot on a NATO Brushback Pitch? by Ron Unz
by Ron Unz55 minutes readRON UNZ—As everyone knows, the Western mainstream media has spent more than two years demonizing Russia and its president following the February 2022 outbreak of the Ukraine war, with Putin having become the most reviled world leader since Adolf Hitler more than three generations ago. And although Russia’s military attack only came after many years of the most extreme military and political provocations by America and its NATO allies, our astonishingly dishonest media outlets have uniformly plastered the word “unprovoked” on all their accounts of the conflict.

Hanging Out With Sabby Sabs – Talking Foreign Policy
7 minutes readEDITOR—Garland, and RBN’s Jaybefount and Sabby Sabs discuss the US Empire’s rapid unravelling as a result of its imprudent and arrogant over-reach, not to mention ghastly authoritarian nature (while blaming others of this cardinal sin!). America’s devious and often heavy-handed way of “doing business” has finally turned most of the world, except for its vassals in Europe (and even there we are beginning to see cracks in fealty) away from Washington, many nations now gravitating toward the BRICS bloc, led by China and Russia, Eurasia’s two biggest powers. Much of the attraction lies in the fact that BRICS is a multinodal network of independent nations operating on egalitarian, sovereignist and non-interventionist, democratic principles. The era of US dictating sanctions, “containment” or “deterrence” (such postures grounded in a moral judgment) toward various nations, is thankfully coming to an end.

EDITOR—Despite the ubiquitous propaganda, Israel is nowhere close to defeating Hamas above or below ground, says Scott Ritter. And Ukraine is now on its third army and running out of time and press-ganged recruits to piece together a fourth army capable of offering credible resistance to the Russian advance. Like many alternative media war critics, Ritter sees no way for the Kiev/NATO alliance to emerge victorious from the mess they cold-bloodedly created as part of their project to topple the government of Pres. Vladimir Putin.
