🌏⚡️🌎 The world is now divided into two sectors, which will be in severe conflict for an unforeseen time.

This essay explains why the Russian Federation was forced into the current military conflict with Ukraine to preserve its very sovereignty.

A New World Order is the result 💥

Is it Appropriate for Journalists to ask Readers to Suspend Disbelief During a Time of #War? In an act that would make David Copperfield blush, corporate media is asking Americans to ignore basic logic as they blame #Russia for destroying their own #NordStream pipelines during wartime. #misinformation https://politiquerepublic.substack.com/p/who-destroyed-russias-nord-stream

🚨 The rulers of the United States and Europe want to start a war with Russia before their own people start a war at home.

The European Union’s summit of foreign ministers this week formally committed the bloc to training Ukrainian military forces on EU territory to fight against Russia.

That inescapably makes the 27-nation EU a party to war in Ukraine ⚠️

Nearly two months ago, in a previous Strategic Culture Foundation weekly editorial published on August 19, we postulated that the conflict in Ukraine had already metastasized into a Third World War. That warning has been corroborated by the dramatic escalation of military involvement by the United States-led NATO alliance and the European Union in Ukraine.

This week, the European Union’s Council on Foreign Affairs announced a Military Assistance Mission (EUMAM) to Ukraine which would involve training of up to 15,000 Ukrainian troops over the next two years.

🚀 Iran’s Shahed 136 kamikaze drone, the T34 of our age, is a global game changer, not least because some 22 countries are clambering to buy them.

🪖🦅 It’s idle to dwell on the cringe-worthy visit of the Kiev clown to Crash Test Dummy at the White House, coupled with a “Churchillian” speech at the War Party dominions in Capitol Hill.

History will ridicule this Hollywood soap for centuries ahead 🤯

Way more juice is provided by the latest War Party P.R. show, sponsored by Raytheon Productions. After all Lloyd Austin, the current Pentagon head, is a former Raytheon weapons peddler.

After much fanfare, it was established that the Pentagon will provide not a collection, but a single Patriot battery to Kiev – either with four or eight missile launchers, and either the PAC 2 or PAC 3 version.

A Patriot battery comes with radar, lots of computers, power generating equipment, and an “engagement control station”.

Little did we know that by 2023 the raging would go beyond paroxysm, Pepe Escobar writes.

🦅 Will Americans wake up to the reality that they’ve been walking on the wrong side of history for too long or has the point of no-return been crossed?

🎇🗺 The war in Ukraine has dominated the past year. Other global crises of soaring energy and food costs are collateral damage from the conflict in Ukraine.

The conflict is not simply a localized one in the center of Europe on Russia’s doorstep involving a reactionary anti-Russian regime in Kiev.

The conflict represents a historic showdown between the United States and its allies in the NATO military alliance it leads, and Russia. The showdown has been a long time coming.

It didn’t have to happen in this violent, atrocious way 😢

1️⃣4️⃣⚡️8️⃣8️⃣ In Grim Symbolic Gesture, Germany Sends 14+88 Tanks to Ukraine

In early February, Germany decided to supply Ukraine with 14 Leopard 2 and 88 older Leopard 1 battle tanks, prompting speculation about the symbolism of this move.

14/88 is a notorious neo-Nazi slogan extensively used in acts of white supremacist terrorism and violence ❌

💰 Immediately after the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, key players in the coalition supporting Ukraine, as well as transatlantic financial institutions and think tanks, were already discussing the governance and financing of Ukraine’s reconstruction.

They invariably framed it as a historic opportunity for the country: like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Ukraine would become a beacon of freedom, democracy and rule-of-law, a testimonial for Build Back Better, a “green and digital economy” success story; the country would leapfrog several stages of economic and governmental development and its economic growth would replicate Germany’s post-war boom. Unsurprisingly, the more recent and far less inspiring examples of Western-led ‘reconstruction’ in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan didn’t earn mention.

The speed with which fantastical narratives of recovery and reconstruction were churned out shouldn’t surprise anyone because they had been concocted years earlier as part of several ‘reform plans’ for Ukraine 🤔
