For the fifth time since 2008, Russia has proposed to negotiate with the U.S. over security arrangements, this time in proposals made by President Vladimir Putin on June 14, 2024. Four previous times, the U.S. rejected the offer of negotiations, endangering the whole world. After all the warmongering, it’s time for Biden to open negotiations for peace with Russia.
‘Are You Ready for WWIII? The Russians are’. Also: ‘World War III Impending? Ukraine’s Frontline Nightmare’: The NATO decision to strike mainland Russia with missiles comes as Ukraine is losing on the battlefield and is at risk of a major frontline collapse. It can spiral out of control.
The US and its G7 partners are in panic mode. They lack conviction about Ukraine’s capability to disrupt the momentum of a major Russian offensive that is widely expected in summer. There is even a sense of dark foreboding that the Ukrainian military may simply pack up in the coming months.
When it comes to the war in Ukraine we in the US, like the Ukrainian people themselves, have been sold a bill of goods. Ukrainians, however, are a step ahead of Americans in that the overwhelming majority of them are rejecting the lies their government is dishing out to them.
The UK has planned or executed over 40 attempts to remove foreign governments in 27 countries since the end of the Second World War. These range from brutal colonial wars and covert operations to efforts to prop up favoured governments, including British Guiana in 1953, Egypt in the 1950s, Iraq in 2003 and Libya in 2011.
Ukraine has changed everything. Before Ukraine, America was number one, at least perception-wise. After Ukraine, American is number two economically, number three militarily, and this is a reality that the world is accepting. Russia knows this.
The proxy war in Ukraine is designed to serve U.S. interests. It enriches the weapons manufacturers, weakens the Russian military and isolates Russia from Europe. What happens to Ukraine is irrelevant.
The problem with the war in Ukraine is that it has been all smoke and mirrors. Now, there are indications that the fog of war is lifting. The battle lines are becoming visible. At an authoritative level, a candid discussion is beginning as regards the endgame.
After Britain, now the Biden administration has agreed to provide Ukraine with depleted uranium shells to equip M1A1 Abrams tanks that the U.S. is sending there. A health physicist explains what depleted uranium is and what’s known about potential health and environmental risks.
The negative impact of the Western policy of preventing peace in Ukraine is being felt daily by the European public. Will the European people stand up for their sovereignty or will they continue to be the frontline for Washington’s ambitions?
