 the author of this article speaks of the birth of the twins driving nato nuts and its a good presentation of some aspects of current events created with putin's response the ever expanding empire, which i think could be called, masterful;


“You don’t believe in the principle of indivisible security? Fine. Now we dictate the security rhythm.”

History will register that the birth of the baby twins – Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics – only a few hours before 2/22/22, was simultaneous to the birth of the real, 21st century multipolar world.
