We’re insisting upon it. We’re deliberately and inexorably escalating towards it. Not Russia, nor China, nor Iran, nor North Korea. Us. Fairy steps a-getting bigger. Big leap a-coming, June 2024.
Unconscionable Ignorance
Great Britain lost 450,000 casualties (military – including ‘crown colonies’ – and civilian) during World War Two, a war fought against the Axis powers of Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, a variety of ideologically-aligned collaborationist voluntary military units raised across Europe (for example from France, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Ukraine, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Croatia, Bosnia,…
Navalny : In Brief
Navalny was neither a politician nor a political opponent to anyone. End of. He was the most visible and vocal critic of Putin for exclusively western audiences. In other words, a western narrative construct. Navalny began his career as a businessman in the 2000’s… buying companies in order to privatise their profits (which was illegal…
Thoughts on Maidan
For anyone sincerely and objectively seeking understanding of events in Ukraine around 2014, including Maidan, I would highly recommend watching the entire ‘Roses Have Thorns‘ series from Watchdog Media; a lengthy collection of contemporary news reports and video, without commentary.

Ukraine ~ July 2023

Russia argues that the largest component of that existential threat for Russia emanates from NATO, and Ukraine’s long-planned-for membership of NATO. Ukraine argues that her existential threat comes from the military force deployed by Russia. Russia argues that she deployed this military…
Luhansk Anniversary
On June 2nd 2014, the Ukrainian Air Force launched a rocket attack on the Regional State Administration building in Luhansk. Many civilians died. Many were wounded and disabled for life. Despite video evidence, Kiev denied involvement. Some declared that an ‘air conditioner’ had exploded. Lest we forget. On Bitchute, or… Age-Restricted by YouTube/Google…
