ANTIWAR

EDITOR—Leading Russian geostrategic analyst Dmitry Orlov provides some answers to the question many people are pondering lately: Are NATO’s constant escalations liable to trigger a nuclear war? When will Putin decide that enough is enough and respond in kind? What happens if NATO and its toxic puppet Ukraine score major hits in Moscow and other major Russian cities, or in key defence spots? Orlov suggests that Russia’s way of responding to such dangerous insults may be far less spectacular than blowing up a bunch of Western cities in retaliation (which Russia certainly can do) and far more effective and indirect, attacking, in effect the vital points of the West’s economic organism: electric power, transportation fuels, strategic arms production materials, and so on. 

EDITOR—Media and Communication Professor Emeritus Oliver Boyd-Barrett discusses his new article “Greenlighting the Escalation.”

CHRIS. BLACK±“The CIA and SIS stand together in resisting an assertive Russia and Putin’s war of aggression (sic) in Ukraine. We saw it coming, and were able to warn the international community so we could all rally to Ukraine’s defence. We carefully declassified some of our secrets as a new and effective part of this effort.”

Of course they saw it coming. They were the ones that engineered the war against Russia by expanding their NATO alliance east towards Russia in betrayal of their promises made to Russia not to do so, an obvious act of aggression, and then attacked Yugoslavia in 1999, to remove a potential Russian ally and to place their large military base, Camp Bondsteel in the Serbian heartland of Kosovo-Metohija. The attack on Yugoslavia, a brutal act of aggression, during which they also attacked China, was a phase of their war against Russia.

This stream will provide a full update on West Asia amid the intensification of a long war of revenge for 11+ months of Israel’s horrors.

EDITOR—In the fascinating interview below, Pappe brings historical reality, context and perspective to the current crime of the US/Israel genocide in Gaza. The interview is from early March, so some of the facts of the genocide have changed, but his overall observations are not only valid, they are being proven out in real time.
