Russian army resorts to ‘black magic’ to shoot down Ukrainian drones

A few days ago The Economist highlighted in an article that the Russian military was doing "black magic" on the Ukrainian frontlines. A new microwave weapon had appeared that shot down Ukrainian drones from several kilometers away. Some said it was the Ranets-E system, which Russia had long exhibited at military fairs, but which has …

‘U.S. does not intend to kill Russia but only to make them suffer’

Speaking in Chicago to a very select audience on April 13, 2015, America's most influential political analyst, George Friedman, defined America's strategic priority: separating Germany from Russia, because "united they are the only force that could threaten us," he said. Russia has always been interested in maintaining a neutral zone of security in Eastern Europe. …

International Criminal Court prosecutes Putin for…protecting children from Ukrainian shelling?

On March 17, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Putin and Russian children's rights advocate Maria Lvova-Belova for "deporting" children from Ukraine.

Gazprom continues to supply gas to Europe via Ukraine

Quite curious that a Russian company is able to continue supplying Europe through the country they are fighting and despite the alleged sanctions. Weird how things work sometimes. Gazprom continues to supply gas to Europe through Ukraine via the Soudja station. Yesterday it delivered 37 million cubic meters of gas, a Gazprom press release has …

Spain intervenes in a Russian air incident with NATO in the Black Sea.

The Russian air force usually intercepts NATO intelligence aircraft when they fly close to Russia's borders. It only comes to light when an interception leads to an incident, as recently happened with a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone that fell into the waters of the Black Sea after being hit by a Russian Su-27 Flanker fighter. …

Wagner is not withdrawing from any front lines

In the modern world, official policy is built on statements, which have to be measured exactly so that they do not come across as strident. That is why it is necessary to have some loudmouth to say out loud what the official sources mumble through their teeth. Russia also works in the same way, so …

The heavy burden of Ukrainian refugees.

The Ukrainian War is so bizarre that most of the refugees have fled to throw themselves into the arms of the enemy. Russia has taken in more Ukrainian refugees than any other in the European Union, and even than all of them combined. The thing about most Ukrainians, refugees or not, is that no one …

Spanish “Intelligence”: Interior promotes a report full of inaccuracies associating Russia with jihadism.

The report, launched by the Collective of Victims of Terrorism (COVITE) and prefaced by Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, puts the Russian presence in Africa in the following way: as the Russians are very bad, this is going to deliver the local populations to jihadism. The report is supported by the Ministry of the Interior, the …

Ukraine is a giant minefield

Since February last year, when Russia launched its military offensive in Ukraine, mine explosions have killed some 200 civilians, while hundreds of others have been injured.

NATO moves Chechen jihadists from Syria to Ukraine

"Terrorists" are only "terrorists" when it matters. A few years ago Syrian mercenaries started appearing in wars, such as those in Libya and Azerbaijan. Few paid attention to foreign jihadists in Syria, such as the Chechens. However, their recent departure from Syria to fight against Russia in Ukraine has come as a surprise. The Chechens …

To raise wages, it is necessary to take on NATO

Last week Belgium was marked by numerous strikes, culminating on Friday with a massive stoppage of all public transport.

The Belgian government is between a rock and a hard place for …

The United States relies on China and Russia to manufacture munitions

The United States is almost entirely dependent on China - and to a lesser extent Russia - for antimony, an essential raw material for the war industry.

The New York Times spreads a smokescreen over the blowing up of the gas pipelines.

Reality is hard to digest when you have been telling falsehoods for years. It happened to the Washington Post, which took a month to inform its readers of Hersch's report accusing Biden of responsibility for the blowing up of the Nord Strem pipelines in September last year. It has happened to the German newspaper Die …

Russian high command allows Ukrainian forces to escape from Bakhmut.

The top cabal of bankers who run the war, and control all sides hidden in the background, do not want a quick Russian victory. This is exactly the same as in World War II, where General Patton could have ended the war in the summer of 1944 saving millions of lives, but his fuel supply …

Ukraine War may destabilize neighbors in Moldova and Transnistria.

Commentators speculate that Transnistria (Nistru in Romanian) could be attacked by either side in the Ukrainian War. It would be like attacking Moldova, of which it is legally part. No state has recognized the secession of this province, not even Russia. There are about 1,500 Russian soldiers in Transnistria. They have been there since the …

Una red de propagandistas nazis sentó las bases de la guerra en Ucrania

La Historia no es lo que ocurrió, sino las historias de lo que ocurrió y las lecciones que contienen. La propia selección de las historias que se enseñan en una sociedad configura nuestra visión de cómo sucedió lo que sucedió y, a su vez, lo que entendemos como posible.

Ucrania y el FBI: Perfiles de corrupción

¿Una razón secreta para la financiación de la guerra de Ucrania?

Al hablar de los costes del actual conflicto entre Rusia y la OTAN a través de la guerra por poderes en Ucrania, el debate se centra a menudo en los costes de adquisición de las armas y municiones que se transfieren de los arsenales de Estados Unidos y la OTAN al ejército ucraniano. Este coste …

Recycling used soap for those who can’t afford new soap

The nonsense about degrowth, consumerism and waste has become a plague aimed at making the poorest people responsible for their own condition. When there is nothing left, we must make a virtue out of necessity and recycle the leftovers. Those who have a full belly proclaim that we should consume less but better. This is …

An obsolete military strategy: nuclear warfare

The Cold War was so called because there was no better name for it. The military aggressions against the USSR ended in 1945 and no conventional wars broke out between the two great superpowers for an obvious reason: both had nuclear weapons. In turn, nuclear weapons are called "strategic" because they are designed to be …

Depleted uranium bombs for tactical nuclear weapons

On Monday last week the British government confirmed that, along with a squadron of Challenger 2 battle tanks, it will also send to Ukraine "munitions, including armor-piercing shells containing depleted uranium." Such munitions are used to pierce the armor of the most modern tanks, but are highly toxic. If inhaled or if it comes into …

Post-war Ukraine will be carrion for vultures

The opportunities presented by Ukraine have not gone unnoticed. From BlackRock (whom Zelensky has officially welcomed) to European funds, the country is being watched by financial giants and international organizations determined to impose a favorable climate for private investment. The menu is deregulation, privatizations and "efficient taxation". The Ukrainian government has not waited for the …

NATO has been worn out by the war of attrition in Ukraine.

It is possible that the only true thing that Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO Secretary General, has said in a whole year of manifestos and declarations to the four winds, is that a war of attrition is being waged in Ukraine. He added that NATO has been worn out, even though it is not over yet. …

The United States finances NATO’s good image in Finnish society

The United States is going to finance Finland's alignment with NATO policy. The Scandinavian country lost its political autonomy when it lost its military neutrality, a fragile balance obtained after World War II, due to its status as an ally of Nazi Germany. Now Finland is repeating the same mistakes. Like many other European countries, …
