Edition No111 | 13-03-2025 - Amidst all the headlines about peace negotiations, and a rather premature tone in some media that ‘the end of the war is in sight’, it’s easy to overlook the significant drone strike on Moscow that occurred on 11th March. News moves so fast, it’s impossible to cover everything, but I think the symbolism of Ukraine’s assault on Moscow is too great to ignore. Ukraine launched a ‘massive’ drone strike on Moscow overnight on March 11th ahead of the US peace talks, taking...

His actions that can be discerned, follow an increasingly pro-Russian position. 1) Voting with Russia in both the UN General Assembly and Security Council 2) Vetoing statement by the G7 that seek to condemn Rus...

Edition No107 | 07-03-2025 - The US is captured by lies, some of which have their origins in Moscow. The main institutions of power are also captured by disingenuous grifters and traitors, as well as those that have subordinated their own morality and political values to gain proximity to power. These people want to realign the US with its historic enemy, Russia, and loosen bonds with allies – such as Ukraine, France, Britain and Canada. Many of the Kremlin seeded lies do not have any political ...

Edition No105 | 03-03-2025 - Is this clickbait? Is this Trump bashing, or TDS as some refer to it – Trump Derangement Syndrome. No, this is a cold analysis of what just happened in the Oval Office, and what its implications are for geopolitics and finding a way to end the war against Ukraine. Curiously over the last weeks I have been called a Trump appeaser in numerous comments, and in about the same volume, accused of loathing Trump and being irrationally opposed to him.

But this may not be the case – that’s the theme we’ll unpack in this episode.

What was shocking was that the US joined other renegade states to vote against the resolution, together with Russia, North Korea and Belarus. It must be noted that Israel sided with the world’s pariah states and authoritarians to vote against the resolution as well, voting against a country that has a Jewish president. ----------SILI...
