What I’d like to know is where are the razor-wire camps for the refugees that we see exist in Turkey and Greece and Libya?
Oh, I forgot. Ukrainian refugees are people “just like us”. They get invited to stay at our homes, in our schools, in our churches.
People who help them and offer sanctuary are not called people traffickers and jailed but charitable humanitarians.
When are people going to see the difference?
Just as a comparison.
America’s Shock and Awe against Iraq began it took 20 days until Baghdad was captured.
Is the Russian advance really as slow as the media pretends?
It is only half the time, 10 days since it began.
I think this may well be a prolonged drawn-out war and not the speedy end that I hope it might be.
Also, I know the figures are very debatable and speculative and will be an underestimate, but the Ukrainian civilian deaths are still in the hundreds, not yet the thousands.
Has Russia been restrained in the ferocity of its attacks on cities? I will stand corrected when more accurate casualties numbers become known and my optimism is proved wrong

Ever since the Iraq invasion of 2003, i have come to respect Medialens as shining a light on media hypocrisy

The knock-on effect
There are vital talks presently going on to bring Iran back into the treaty that the USA broke concerning its nuclear energy development.
Russia was a crucial country in those negotiations. But no longer.
It now offers the war-hawks an opportunity to continue the sanctions against Iran and when Iran persists in building its nuclear facilities, Israel will do what it has threatened, bomb Iran, targeting exactly what Russia has been condemned of doing in Ukraine, risking radioactive fall out.

Strike in Nizhnekamsk (Tatarstan, Russia). At the ‘Gemont’ factory. Workers were underpaid due to changes in the exchange rate of the ruble.

All day long I have been getting this message when I try to go to RT
403 – Forbidden . That’s an error. Client does not have access rights to the content so server is rejecting to give proper response. That’s all we know.Previously, Grayzone and Aaron Mate and Max Blumenthal and Glen Greenwald have found themselves criticised by the Democratic Party progressive leftist wing for being too pro-Assad.
They fell out with the TYT TV show over questioning the legitimacy of its Russiagate investigations as being too Clintonite
I did think it necessary to add a warning to my post that they do have a bias.
But we don’t shoot the messengers, we question them
