Since Russia began what they call the “special operation” on February 24 in Ukraine, the corporate media has reported the Ukrainian population is united in resistance against the Russian military offensive. Aside from reports of civilians volunteering in a variety of non-military support roles, Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky and other state officials have urged civilians to take up arms. Then, on March 9, Zelensky approved a law that allows Ukrainians to use weapons during wartime and negates legal responsibility for any attack on people perceived to be acting in aggression against Ukraine. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense even posted a graphic online with instructions on how to launch Molotov cocktails at tanks.

US works with Nazis to exploit Europe both in WWII and at present, now targets Ukraine
Comment: What is significant is that this article is appearing in one of China’s main newspapers and helps to see another angle of how China views the current conflict, even if the author is Russian. They too were facing fascism during WWII and wouldn’t want to see a recurrence of it.

Ukraine: NATO Bloc Has Neither Moral Authority Nor Credibility to Judge Russia, Ex-UN Expert Says
In this sense, Russia had reason to feel threatened and could invoke pertinent provisions of the Helsinki Final Act of 1975. As an American, who feels vicariously responsible for decisions of my government, my heart goes out to the people of Ukraine and of the Donbass. It is a disgrace that the Ukrainians have been abused and misused by NATO, sacrificed on the altar of imperial geopolitics.

The US should compromise on Nato to save Ukraine
It is easy to understand why. The US would not be very happy were Mexico to join a China-led military alliance, nor was it content when Fidel Castro’s Cuba aligned with the USSR 60 years ago.
Putin signs ‘immediate’ recognition of Donbass regions
Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that Moscow has recognized the two self-declared breakaway Donbass republics in Ukraine’s east as sovereign nations, as a military standoff across the contact line continues to escalate.

NATO’s Nazis in Ukraine, anti-Russian war propaganda, & our human crisis
As I watch the U.S. imperialists manufacture a crisis in Ukraine, putting forth fabricated accounts of Russian provocations so that further military buildup throughout the region can be justified, I think of what Albert Camus said about humanity’s capacity for evil in the modern era.

Resolution for 2022: Dare to Build Your Own Opinions and Then Defend Them!
BY: ALFRED DE ZAYAS
Anyone who has followed the political culture in the US, Canada, UK, EU over the past twenty years must have realized that a war on epistemology, on truth, on semantics is going on. We witness the hijacking of concepts like democracy, freedom, peace, patriotism, human rights — and their instrumentalization for domestic and geopolitical purposes. We observe a process of language destruction not unlike what Orwell foresaw in his sadly visionary book 1984. “Newspeak” is not the future, it is now, hic et nunc. We recognize it in the jargon of political correctness, the language and practice of the “cancel culture”.

Neoconservativism In A Nutshell
Neoconservativism In A Nutshell
If I were asked to boil down neoconservatism to its essential elements—that is, those that have remained consistent over the past nearly 50 years—I would cite the following:
* a Manichean view of a world in which good and evil are constantly at war and the United States has an obligation to lead forces for good around the globe.
* a belief in the moral exceptionalism of both the United States and Israel and the absolute moral necessity for the U.S. to defend Israel’s security.
* a conviction that, in order to keep evil at bay, the United States must have—and be willing to exercise—the military power necessary to defeat any and all challengers. There’s a corollary: force is the only language that evil understands.
* the 1930s—with Munich, appeasement, Chamberlain, Churchill—taught us everything we need to know about evil and how to fight it.
* democracy is generally desirable, but it always depends on who wins.
