For Europe, it is a time for choosing. They can either align with the American bloc or the Chinese bloc. If Europe thinks it can play both sides, it is sorely mistaken. There is no halfway here. Choose wisely; the fate of your continent quite literally depends on it.

NEW!! Ukraine expects top envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to lead a US delegation to Kyiv this month, Zelenskiy’s chief of staff says The team may arrive shortly after Orthodox Easter, which is celebrated on April 12, Kyrylo Budanov told Bloomberg

The Europeans are not dealing with “a man.” They are dealing with the United States of America. The United States needed the most innocuous kind of cooperation from them. They denied the United States that cooperation. The implied argument is that their obligations within our alliance depend on whether they like the guy we chose as our president. “Sure, we’re allies…if we approve of who you elected.” Nope. We are not going to forget, and we’re not going to forgive. I’m indifferent to their excuses or their rationalizations. The United States of America needed their help and not very much help. They turned us down. That changes everything. And they aren’t going to like how it changes everything.

Massive Ukrainian bombing raid on three Russian chemicals plants in Togliatti on the Volga, some 600 miles away. It’s as far from Ukraine as Switzerland or Denmark.

It is blowing my mind how many people don’t seem able to grasp that oil & gas in the North Sea is not “ours” but was sold off to private companies who will trade it on the international market like any other fuel. We don’t get any kind of privileged access to this fuel.

Your mind is clearly blown because you have no idea what you’re talking about. Let’s just take gas. All of it comes by pipeline into the UK and is used in the UK. Oil is a bit more complicated but I’ll let you grapple with the facts about gas before moving on to that. Let me know if you have any questions about gas. Happy to help.

Donetsk, 2014. The Donbas never wanted to be russian

Это увесистый труд, почти 800 страниц. В многочисленных интервью, которые Бенуа Парэ дал французским радио и медиа, он вкратце рассказал самое важное: Украина нарушала перемирие на Донбассе в пропорции 75% к 25%, что также совпадает с динамикой гражданских жертв (72% против 28%).

Prigozhin released today a new interview going over the current state of affairs as well as looking back at the events preceding the start of the "SMO". In this first bit, he explains that the Donbas was plundered by Russians since 2014 and the 2022 war began for reasons very different from those advertised to the public.

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

Europe is heading toward one of the most severe economic crises in its history. The world is facing a serious energy crisis. Europe is in grave danger. The only way out is to lift the sanctions imposed on Russian energy. Immediately. We must think not about Putin, but about our own country and our peoples. Instead of warmongering, love and save your country, Donald!
