Free media does not exist. Being free means being free from any commitment to the people who own your ass and pay your bills. The American mainstream media is about 95% owned by the neocon and globalist interests.

If it was an all-out assault, it is surprising the Russians didn’t end up in Tblisi.

First of all, since when FBI and CIA leadership can’t be highly politically motivated and subversive? We haven’t seen FBI or CIA trying to undermine the presidents in the past purely on political grounds? Does the “soon-to-be-fired” CIA director have much credibility when he does everything in his power and uses the…

Only Russian tourists who are spending their vacation in Donbass..

You are comparing apples and glue. In the August 2008, Russia launched an all out assault on the Georgians using all means under its disposal: hundreds of armored vehicles, artillery, air force, and even the Black Sea navy ships. Georgia had a decent army of the country’s size, but it was really foolish to invade the…

Since it has been the trend in the western journalism to blame the death of every marginal Russian political activist or journalist on Putin, we’d love to see a follow up story that pins the scandalous number of murders of Ukrainian journalists and politicians on Ukraine’s president Poroshenko. Google shows plenty of…

Yes, that proves that Putin did it for me.

One big flaw in the western “Putin as a killer” narrative is that the west is trying to pin the death or sickness of every marginal Russian journalist or political activist on Putin. In reality, the deceased, murdered, or sick people that Putin’s critics are fuming about for the most part could be described as…

America has free press? The last three months, 95% of the mainstream media outlets and most TV channels were mostly engaged in smear campaign against Trump and his cabinet, starting with the alleged Russian interference in the USA election and ending the British yellow-journalism style allegation of the infamous…

Yes. Only America has the right to change regimes, drop bombs, and conduct extrajudicial killings, including hundreds of innocent by-standers. Every other country must be held accountable for such things.

We know that Russians started it, and it was wrong. However, Minsk-II has become a universally agreed on roadmap to resolving this conflict. More violence is not a solution, never. Despite its difficult history, Ukrainian government must understand that there exists an ethnic minority with significant differences from…

The problem with this is that most western leaders are accusing Russia and pro-Russian rebels of not implementing Minsk-II, while promising to Russia that many western sanctions will be lifted once its proxies implement their end of the bargain. But in reality, it has been Ukraine that has been refusing to implement…

This could be true, but the implementation of Minsk-II hinges 90% on the Ukrainian politicians since this accord demands from them far more reforms than from the rebels. Ukraine has been stalling this accord’s implementation for two years, plain and simple, while accusing Russia of aggression. This last around of…

If you believe that Ukraine is not stonewalling the Minsk accord, you’re highly mistaken. In order for Minsk-II to happen, Ukraine needs to pass new legislation. Neither Ukraine’s legislature, nor most of its population want it to happen. Despite, the common misconceptions, most of the pro-Russian rebels only demand a…

That’s why Ukrainian government should stop stonewalling the Minsk-II accords it signed, which are a path to peaceful resolution of the conflict without partitioning of Ukraine. Unfortunately, polls show that 90% of Ukrainians are against it.

The path to the peaceful resolution of this conflict and without partitioning Ukraine already exists. It’s called Minsk-II accords, and it was signed by the respresentatives of all parties involved. The problem with Minsk-II is that Ukraine has basically reneged on it and has done everything to stonewall it. The more…

This is probably another piece of Ukrainian military vaporware. Before the revolution of 2014, Ukraine was a top 10 weapons exporter, but their military exports went downhill after that. They can produce barely 5 new tanks a year under their Thailand contract even though they were supposed to build like 50 Oplots a…

After the two disastrous conflicts in Afghanistan and the First Chechen War, the Russian military has become a lot leaner and smarter. Russian military budget can go a long way because they don’t get bogged down in 16+ year long war in Afghanistan and they don’t spend money in ridiculously expensive weapons systems…

I still don’t see anywhere in that article a convincing argument that some kind of pipelines should go through Crimea. Crimea is neither a major source of hydro-carbons, nor an obvious route for building a pipeline. Its land connection is only to Ukraine. Russia’s latest and confirmed interest in European gas…

Gosh, it’s far easier to accuse someone to be a paid shill rather use an argument. The proof of how low the intellectualism has sunk in the west.
