info more accurate than your tv will provide on current events in ukraine;

Today, the dangers of military escalation are beyond description.

What is now happening in Ukraine has serious geopolitical implications. It could lead us into a World War III scenario.

It is important that a peace process be initiated with a view to preventing escalation. 

Global Research does not support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

A Bilateral Peace Agreement is required.

As my time in Russia draws towards an end – just three days to go before I start the long journey home, after over three weeks here already – I want to share with readers of my Facebook page a few wrap-up thoughts. I know I will be trolled for this by people including some who in other respects I like and admire, but I will block them. I honestly don’t care any more – angry and ill-informed words no longer affect me.

By coincidence I have been travelling in northwestern Russia during the past tumultuous three weeks in world history: in the cradle of modern Russia, visiting important sites in Russia’s history as a nation-state and in her cultural heritage – Pskov, Pushkinskie Gory, and the major cities Saint Petersburg and Moscow. My evident growing physical weakness as a sole traveller of advanced years forced me to cancel more ambitious plans to visit Volgograd and Samara.

While I was here, the crisis in Ukraine and in East-West relations generally has escalated towards the current crunch moment in Kiev and Kharkov, which I hope and expect will find peaceful resolution within the next few days.

I was here under a special guest visa to give lectures in the Moscow Diplomatic Academy and the St Petersburg University of the Humanities and Social Sciences. I travelled at my own expense and according to my own plans.

It has been uniquely bizarre to watch from here, as someone who now feels personally very comfortable in Russia after three independent visits in 2016, 2018 and 2019, how Western elites have finally become so entrapped in their own false information warfare narrative on Ukraine that they can no longer see what is real and under their very noses: Russian military power, her determination, her moral strength that comes from knowing she is in the right.

After eight years of standing by and watching helplessly the vicious Ukronazi-driven cruelty towards the four million people of Donbass, and the Ukronazi intimidation of their many cowed and silent sympathisers across the rest of Ukraine, Russia finally acted on 24 February 2022. For Russians, this had been a running sore over eight years since the Maidan Square coup in Kiev in 2014, instigated by the United States...........read more........

 from the vietnamese author i follow;

For about two years, my blog had a reader who commented often, but nearly always with slogans, cliches or cartoony logic. When I pointed out that Europe’s problem with Muslim refugees would be solved if the Jewjerked West would stop destroying Muslim countries, she indignantly replied, “In any war, the men must stay and fight, and the women must stay to help them!”

Europe’s Muslim refugee problem, then, can’t be blamed on Israel, Uncle Sam or NATO, but on their terrified victims, for fleeing the Jewjerked West’s bombs and bullets!

Before Syria was attacked, it was a haven for Iraqi refugees. Though regularly sabotaged or attacked by Israel, Lebanon still houses 1.5 million refugees from Syria, Palestine and Iraq. Before Libya was destroyed, it attracted thousands of Africans from other countries. The Jewjerked West leads the world, by far, in generating refugees.

More than corpses or maimed bodies, war creates refugees, and we’re seeing it, again, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. A week into this war, a million Ukrainians have already fled to other countries, and this number would be much higher without the Kiev government’s policy of turning back, and conscripting, all Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 60.

In Kiev, many of those who remain have sought shelter in its unusually deep subway system. A glance at such scenes shows many men hiding with their women, for they’re not bare-chested Rambos, each brandishing an AKM rifle with an extra phallic M203 grenade launcher, ready to mow down hundreds of Russians. If Sylvester Stallone was in Kiev, he’d undoubtedly be curled up inside Arsenalna Station, at 347 feet underground the deepest in the world. That’s 32 stories down! Why take chances?

Now, let’s just use common sense to examine why a man might not rush to war. If he has, say, three children, their survival is his most important priority. Thinking likewise, his wife begs him to take them all somewhere safe, so even if he doesn’t mind dying in battle, he must decisively remove his family from danger as soon as possible, and survive to take care of them.

If he loses his sight, mind, limbs or loin as a soldier, he won’t just be useless to them, but a tremendous liability for decades. In his wife’s mind, this daunting fact tempers her patriotism.

Since fleeing involves risks and complications, many will hesitate or simply balk, with sometimes disastrous results. Not wanting to lose their home, they may end up bloodless and open eyed under its beams and bricks. A child, though, may survive as an orphaned vegetable.............read more.........
