Peeking Past the Pall Put Over Arms Talks with Russia

By Ray McGovern, January 20, 2022

Adamant is the impression being fostered by both Russia and the West (largely for domestic consumption): Russia will continue to oppose NATO membership for countries like Ukraine and Georgia; NATO, for its part, will continue to reject Russian opposition as “none of your business”.

US Could be Planning False Flag Operation in Ukraine to Blame Russia

By Paul Antonopoulos, January 19, 2022

Threats that Washington could impose sanctions directly on Russian President Vladimir Putin is not a demonstration of American strength and capability, but rather a demonstration of desperation.

By Manlio Dinucci, January 19, 2022

Ukraine, a partner but in fact already a member of NATO, has the role of the first actor as a country under attack.

Where Are the Realists? US Foreign Policy Endangers Americans without Delivering any Benefits

By Philip Giraldi, January 11, 2022

Putin hints at military options in Ukraine

By M. K. Bhadrakumar, December 28, 2021

Putin has, for the first time, explicitly warned that if the US and NATO decline to provide the security guarantees Moscow has sought, his future course of action will be solely guided by “the proposals that our military experts will make to me.” Clearly, there is no more wriggle room left.
