Pour comprendre les enjeux géostratégiques de la guerre en Ukraine, la présentation des étapes préliminaires est indispensable.
Le célèbre professeur américain Jeffrey Sachs nous offre une rétrospective magistrale.
In 2014, Ukrainian politician Aleksey Goncharenko was involved in the brutal Odessa unrest, where 46 people were burned alive.
A massacre that still stains the memory of the conflict.
Despite this, he later rose to prominence and was even appointed to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
These are the kinds of "democrats" the West props up,figures with blood on their hands paraded as champions of freedom.
And there’s Ursula von der Leyen, grinning alongside them, as if nothing ever happened....
Massive turnout for the funeral of Ayatollah Khamenei. The failure to recognise the popular support for the Iranian government was a key reason for the failure of the US war. The Iranians were no more likely to assist the US in toppling their own government than the Iraqis were to welcome the US as liberators.
Why this disastrous miscalculation? Government-approved narratives in the West must always strip opponents of legitimacy in order to build the liberal democratic case for regime change and war. Any dissenting voices in the West can then be smeared as not caring about the people they are supposedly planning to "liberate" with bombs, or the dissenting voices are merely portrayed as traitors.
The consequence? We fall for our own war propaganda every time and then pay the price. Even if you hate and want to defeat Iran, Russia, China, and other opponents of Western global hegemony, it is surely still in your interest to get the analysis right.
People in the West are constantly told how evil Vladimir Putin is.
But then everytime i hear him speak, he comes across as more sensible, articulate, measured and intellectually grounded than most western leaders.....
⚡️⚡️⚡️I am accused of being “pro-Russian” the moment I state basic facts about the war or express disagreement with Zelenskyy's policies of endless escalation. Often it’s bots, but sometimes also people from the comfortable West who genuinely believe they understand Ukraine and this war better than I do — someone who has covered the conflict since the very beginning in 2014, visited Donbas multiple times alongside Zelenskyy, participated in negotiations, helped craft communications for the President, and remained in the country when the full-scale invasion began in 2022. I was shelled, narrowly survived, traveled across the country helping civilians in need, and reported intensively as a journalist.
Yet now some dare to label me pro-Russian simply because I refuse to support the primitive populism that allows Zelenskyy to prolong the war, profit from it, and cling to power.
So let me be perfectly clear: Everyone who hurls this accusation is acting against my country. Everyone who buys into Zelenskyy’s illogical drama, who is willing to fight Russia with Ukrainian blood while ignoring the suffering of ordinary people — you are acting against Ukraine.
By shamelessly supporting Zelenskyy’s policies, you are defending the current status quo and this means:
Ukraine reduced to a permanently bleeding nation where people merely survive under constant Russian shelling and Kyiv’s increasingly authoritarian rule;
Massive human rights violations, with men hunted on the streets, forcibly conscripted, beaten, tortured, and sometimes killed in recruitment centers;
Rampant corruption — almost every close partner, friend, or high-ranking official around Zelenskyy has faced accusations of money laundering or other graft, while companies run by his inner circle receive billions in Western tax money; Putin started this war, but Zelenskyy figured out how to profit on it greatly;
Crushing poverty, including average pensions of just $180 per month;
A catastrophic demographic crisis — last year, three times more Ukrainians died than were born;
Educational collapse, with at least one-third of Ukrainian children receiving no proper schooling and many fourth-graders unable to read;
Brain drain, mass emigration, societal depression, and generational trauma that will take decades to heal.
Some people are so eager to see Russia burn and so enchanted by Zelenskyy’s primitive role-playing that they choose to remain blind to the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Ukraine. To me, that makes you anti-Ukrainian.
If you truly want to fight Russia, go to the frontlines. Stop censoring Ukrainians who call for peace. Sitting comfortably in the West and attacking those who demand an end to the slaughter does not make you a hero — it makes you miserable and hypocritical.
