NATO members UK France Poland and the Baltic states, and maybe also Turkey are all reportedly gearing up their forces...

"Meanwhile, the Ukrainians just conducted an absolutely massive drone strike on a Russian strategic bomber airfield that is located hundreds of miles from the front lines…"

So the proposed ceasefire is working out well?  Actions speak louder than words, and Russia will not ignore such pre-ceasefire attacks.

"The Russians have already stated that they will never accept NATO troops on Ukrainian soil under any circumstances"

So talk of "peacekeepers" is just that - talk for reassurance of the home nations.

The only questions are how Russia will respond and whether their response will include de facto cancellation of said

In these times of disclosure, we await the truth of the Twin Towers 9/11 attack to be revealed.

Here is Curt Weldon to whet our appetite, interviewed by Redacted.

Here is a man who knows his topic inside-out, back-to-front, upside down, and of course, straight up.

There's a great deal more here than the 9/11 hit, including US involvement contrived in Ukraine going back before the original Maidan evolution of 2014... not to mention relations with Iran... and Afghanistan... and more. It's all related.

This site does not do party politics.

However, we don't regard this video as an attack on the Labour Party, the main purposes of our visible government being:

(a) to obscure who is really in control of our nation and

(b) to take the blame when matters invariably turn out to the detriment of the nation and of our peoples.

That said, is the destruction of the traditional culture and landscape of the English Scots and Welsh peoples now under yet more attack?

And if you disagree, explain to me just when we voted for all this.

On whichever side of the fence we may sit, if we want to understand a situation then we do well to listen to both sides of the argument.

The situation vis a vis Israel, America, and Iran has been a long time in the brewing, before even the foundation of Israel, and all the way back to the British Empire and (allegedly) their installed puppet ruler the Shah of Iran. Well before my time in fact.

Here Prof Marandi presents his view from Iran on the current US administration's efforts to "bring peace to the Middle East".

It's your view that counts.

As only Ben can, he sets out a scenario (or several) that place the ongoing machinations of the global "Great and the Good" within a context of extraordinary breadth and deep historical roots.

Trump and Putin having decided that Europe is an irrelevance to the Ukraine negotiations (as they have nothing - aside from posturing - to contribute), the Europeans have got together to determine what is to be done about it.

"The responsibility to protect" by humanitarian intervention to stop international crimes.

When "the West" does this it's Ok, but when the Yemenis do it it's a crime.

From the viewpoint of the average Brit, the truth of far flung complex situations can be difficult to reliably disentangle.

So this is an interesting presentation, highlighting a number of controversial points on all sides of the argument.

(To the tune of Loch Lomond)

By yon daily papers, and by yon TV channels,
Where the bright light of truth never ventures,
Where me and my true love were ever wont to view,
In our bonnie carefree youth of fond memory.

Chorus:

Oh ye'll tak' the mainstream,
an' I'll tak' the low stream,
an' I'll see the truth long afore ye,
but me an' my true love ne'er watch entwined again,
for the narratives and lies now repel me.

Yes there's more verses where that came from, but sufficient unto the day is the doggerel thereof!

We are at war, a war for our hearts and minds, driven not by

Europa (in its modern incarnation as continental Europe) is in turmoil.

Fittingly perhaps, it is named after an ancient Greek goddess, but as the EU (shortly destined to collapse under the untenable weight of its contradictions) it is now, much like the capricious Greek Pantheon of old, apparently convinced of the need to wage war, this time to defend the perceived honour of the Ukraine to the last man, and if the Ukraine no longer has any men (or indeed in this day and age, women), then to the last European.

The unfortunate fact that they are in no position to take on the Russians militarily matters not a jot - the honour of fair Ukraine and the heroism of her benighted soldiers demands the ultimate sacrifice, possibly of the entire continent.

"The Donald" wanted to make a deal for peace with the Ukraine, but did the UK get in first?

"The previous government described the Agreement on Security Co-operation, which gave long-term security guarantees to Ukraine, as “the first step in developing an unshakeable hundred-year partnership between Ukraine and the United Kingdom" 

But what of the new treaty itself? What's it all about?

Scott Ritter explains the Trumpian path to peace.

If you rely on the military then you will get war or at least conflict.

If you rely on your economic interests in common, then neither party will even want war or conflict.

Co-operation trumps conflict every time.

Dominic Cummings isn't everybody's cup of tea, but he does have first-hand experience of that about which he writes, and isn't afraid to draw unfashionable conclusions where the evidence so leads.

"It’s ‘impossible’ to control our borders but we must fight over Ukraine’s borders"

"We must coverup the rape gangs ‘for community cohesion’ and to continue mass immigration but we will rally on TV to fight ‘the new Hitler’ thousands of miles away with forces that do not exist"

"We must transform the MoD and defence procurement because fake budgets and disastrous procurement are destroying our forces"

"The combination of the above policies with ‘Ukraine should join NATO’... mixes great weakness with provocation on exactly the wrong thing"

ZeroHedge reviews the embryonic Starmer Peace Plan that seems to have the support of European leaders.

As we have noted earlier, it's cannot be a "Peace Plan" if it includes features to which we know that  President Putin will not agree. Such as western military "boots on the ground" in Ukraine.

Putin may, like all of us, harbour the occasional delusion, but he's not insane, nor is he prepared to simply throw away the fruits of his leadership so far.

Heigh ho, who cares about the details when there's a propaganda war to be fought for public opinion?

What is going on between the UK, EU, NATO, Ukraine, and the Trump-Putin relationship?

For those with short memories, and those who simply were not yet here, this article covers the salient historical points from the latter parts of the 20th Century onward, from the perspective of an American. Necessarily it leaves out a vast amount which may never be known.

Some may believe that the Trump phenomenon is the fight-back against the endemic corruption described, some fear that Trump is simply the latest in a long line of "controlled opposition". I can't help you with that one, we will have to see how matters play out.

"By their fruits shall you know them"

What is undeniable is the role that Israel has historically played in US politics, and quite likely in the politics of other nations including our own - after all, the State of Israel was originally promoted in the UK's Balfour declaration after WW1.
