The Ukraine-Russia military conflict, two nations that together provide 29% of the world’s wheat exports, has provoked a certain awareness of the precariousness of the world’s food supplies and the dangers of import dependency. For the EU, although food shortages are not yet an issue, the costs of ensuring the availability of food are soaring. The explosion of fossil fuel […]

“We won a victory so big that it can be seen from the moon and certainly from Brussels,”, Hungary’s Prime Minster Viktor Orban told his supporters after his ruling Fidesz party came out of the April 3 parliamentary elections with a comfortable lead of 53%. In neighboring Serbia, President Aleksander Vucic was re-elected on the same day with a landslide […]

Three senior former Ambassadors from the Hellenic Repubic issued a peace proposal on March 31, addressing the current Ukrainian crisis in an effort to avert the “threat of hunger and nuclear annihilation”.

A major fuss is being made over President Biden’s comment in Warsaw on March 26, where he said of Russian President Putin, “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power!” White House aides immediately tried walking it back, and Biden himself said the next day that he was not calling for regime change in Russia. Some commentators paired it […]

The fear of the Western “elites”, as described above, is that their propaganda is no longer convincing, and that a movement can coalesce in the West around a competent strategy which connects defeating the war plans with rejecting their neoliberal economic policies, and replacing their collapsing unipolar order with a new security and financial architecture. That is precisely the aim […]

A number of expert observers have refuted the big narrative that, firstly, Russia is wantonly bombing Ukrainian sights and killing civilians, is running out of ammunition and supplies, and has suffered heavy losses, and secondly, that this “proves” that the Kremlin will resort at any moment, to using chemical or biological weapons. The editor-in-chief of Consortium News Joe Lauria, however, […]

The same financial circles who forced the so-called “climate transition” on us, now tell us that war is needed to save the planet. “Defending the values of liberal democracies and creating a deterrent, which preserves peace and global stability,” is so important that weapons should be included in assets that carry an E.S.G., or “environmental, social and governance,” label, according […]

Measures taken by EU governments ostensibly to ameliorate the impact of high energy prices on consumers are not only insufficient, but wittingly criminal.
