Candace Owens showed courage by coming to Russia to build bridges.

She is doing the work of people like Kaja Kallas and gets criticised for it.

What a moment.

For those paying attention, Iran has quickly established itself as one of the Great Powers. Trump and Bibi have Made Iran Great Again.

If you want to better understand Iran and the Resistance, these are the two best books I know of in English:

'Going to Tehran' by Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett

'Resistance' by Alastair Crooke

Absolute bombshell. Famous Prof. Jeffrey Sachs completely exposes Washington for orchestrating the illegal 2014 coup in Ukraine.

He confirms the US intentionally overthrew a neutral sovereign government solely to force NATO expansion and provoke a disastrous war.

The Strait of Hormuz is and will remain under Iran’s control. If Trump fails to meet all of his obligations, the Islamic Republic knows how to respond. The old order is gone.

Thousands gather in the centre of Kiev to enjoy themselves, no fear of being struck, no problem.

No Russian "Strikes on Civillians?" why not? I thought Russia is carrying out "Genocide?"

Bars, restaurants, hotels all open. Millions of "Refugee" Ukrainians in Europe?

@declanganley How would you feel about an entry by Palestine? If Israel can enter, why not? Who should get excluded?

[Quwan @Quwan8]

@john_mcguirk Thanks for the homily John. It would be a lot more convincing if you simultaneously broached the topic of genocide in Gaza. It’s not made up. It’s not exaggerated. It’s frighteningly real and it’s happening right now. Are you willing to, for once, comment?

President Putin, who according to Western media is "hiding from the public" takes his old German teacher out for dinner

First he greets her with flowers and hug.

Then personally drives her straight to the Kremlin.

A Ukrainian Priest reveals the torture and humiliation of his fellow Priests at the hands of Zelenskys Dictatorship.

This is what Brussels and London prop up and pay for.

Savagery.

Bombing weddings and hospitals, supporting ISIS and Al-Qaeda, destroying Libya, and starvation-blockading Yemeni children.

Being witty and good at basketball.

Smarter than Trump.

If Trump and Netanyahu reignite full-scale war, a global depression would be all but certain - unprecedented global suffering, engineered for the sake of genocidal Zionism.

Putin's press conference yesterday was interesting because it highlighted his deep feeling of anger and betrayal by Europe.

(1) He reminded the journalists (all Russians) that the crisis began with the EU insisting Ukraine ratify an Association Agreement incompatible with Ukraine's free trade agreement with Russia. When Ukraine demurred the Maidan coup was the result;

(2) He said Europe's objective in 2022 was to engineer Russia's collapse so that the Europeans would be able to help themselves to its parts. In a truly extraordinary passage he spoke of Finland joining NATO in order to participate in the plunder;

(3) He gave a very bitter account of the events of April 2022 and of the failure of the Istanbul Agreement.

Briefly:

He revealed for the first time that it was Macron who called him and tricked him into pulling Russian troops back from Kiev, telling him that "the Ukrainians could not be expected (to sign the Istanbul Agreement) with a gun pointing at their head". He was careful to say that the Russians recorded the conversation and have Macron saying all this on tape.

He then spoke about how, once the Russian troops had been withdrawn, 'another colourful character' - Boris Johnson - told the Ukrainians to ditch the Istanbul Agreement in return for unlimited Western support.

I came away with the clear impression that Putin believes Macron and Johnson were working together and had it all worked out in advance;

(4) he accused the Europeans of using Ukraine as a proxy in their conflict with Russia;

(5) he signalled that the only major West European political figure in whom he retains any trust is Gerhard Schroder, who is of course out of power;

(6) Contrary to many reports, Putin did NOT say that he believes the Ukraine conflict is coming to an end. This belief stems from misreporting of his words by a TASS journalist.

If Putin's words are read carefully it is clear his meaning was quite different. It is that with the failure to bring about the collapse of Russia that which on The Duran we call 'Project Ukraine', ie. the West's (in Putin's view, Europe's) bid to use Ukraine as a tool to destabilise Russia, is coming to an end.

Perhaps wrongly, Putin appears to blame the Europeans more for 'Project Ukraine' than he does the Americans.

(7) Putin did float the possibility that with the failure of Project Ukraine, and with the crisis this has caused in Europe, a new generation of European leaders might find a way back towards a reconciliation with Russia. However he did not seem to me to say this with much conviction;

(8) As for the Americans, Putin appears to think that their various diplomatic initiatives of the last year to end the war have run into a wall and are effectively over.

Many people will say that Putin has a paranoid view of Europe and its intentions. He however would point to Europe's actions (eg. he spoke about Europe's work fabricating Ukraine's drones) and its rhetoric, which is frankly terrible. Certainly in Russia his opinions are widely shared.

This is where in Europe relentless hostility, extreme rhetoric, and a total rejection of dialogue with the Russians, has led us. If the Russians and their leader now entertain these views of us, we should not be surprised.

[Pepe Escobar @RealPepeEscobar]

Prof. Karaganov is absolutely correct.

Four days before the start of the war on Iran, he received me at his office in Moscow, off-the-record. A full spectrum, multi-focus cultural-politico discussion, way beyond the mediocrity of Western elites.

Tweet of the Day

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Professor Sergey Karaganov reveals a chilling strategy shift. He proposes altering the nuclear doctrine to target Western leaders.

He demands special munitions be used to annihilate the bunkers of European elites.

Moscow wants the politicians to suffer first.
