Walter Lippman observed more than a century ago that propaganda is good for war but bad for peace. Propaganda strengthens internal solidarity and assists with mobilising resources against an adversary. However, the public will reject a workable peace if they believe there is a struggle between good and evil

🇺🇸💬🇺🇦🇷🇺Trump said that Ukraine should not have been allowed to launch long-range missile strikes deep into Russia, it was a “bad” decision.
He added that he may reconsider the decision.

General Wesley Clark revealed the US would take out 7 countries after Afghanistan:
- Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran
- The role of the media is to sell it as "freedom". They do not explain why you should celebrate an al-Quaeda leader taking power in Syria

Blinken is pressuring Ukraine to lower the conscription age so Washington can fight Russia with 18 year old Ukrainians
- Ukrainians want peace. There is not a single oblast in Ukraine with majority support for continuing the war. Blinken is telling them the US is not done
Hungary's Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, warns that the next two months will be extremely dangerous as the Biden administration and the EU are worried that peace will break out, and aim to sabotage Trump's efforts to negotiate an end to the war

Joe Biden pardoning Hunter Biden's decade-long involvement in Ukraine implicitly entails pardoning himself.

After dominating the world for centuries, the Europeans do not recognise that they have been demoted from subjects to objects
- Convinced that they are US allies rather than vassals, Europe's political leaders believe that pursuing national interests undermines the collective West
- As the US pivots to Asia, the Europeans should diversify their economic partnerships to maximise economic strength and political autonomy. Instead, Europe further subordinates its politics and economics to prove its value to Washington. After destroying the continent, this entire political class will eventually be thrown out
After the invasion of Iraq, the focus began to shift towards destroying Syria as Iran’s land bridge to Lebanon and Palestine

The US/Ukraine attacked Russia with long-range ATACMS, which Moscow considers a direct US / NATO attack on the Russian Federation.
- Russia will most likely retaliate with the Oreshnik missile. Extremely dangerous US escalations are expected during Biden's last weeks in office

International institutions and rules are largely a reflection of power. Major shifts in the international distribution of power imply that institutions and rules must adapt or be replaced to effectively organise cooperation and competition between states.

Democracy as a hegemonic norm:
- When democracy means alignment or integration with the West, then "democracy" can include toppling democratically elected governments if they do not fall in line. Possibly another Maidan in the making

As Ukrainian frontlines are collapsing, the US can either escalate or start negotiations. The decision by the Biden administration to attack Russia with long-range ATACMS crossed Russia’s red lines, and the response was the Oreshnik missile. The Oreshnik missile was intended as a warning shot by not attaching a warhead. Russia demands an end to NATO expansion, territorial concessions, and restoring minority rights in Ukraine.

Liberalism is a revolutionary ideology challenging traditional political and social structures. Liberalism therefore thrives in opposition to outdated forms of government such as absolute monarchy or communism. In victory, liberalism becomes unrestrained, exhausts itself and commits suicide.

The media is suddenly writing about mass desertions in the Ukrainian army. This was predictable and I predicted it three months ago in this article. The next step will be greater pincer attacks by Russia to encircle larger groups of Ukrainian soldiers.
- This should be obvious to everyone, yet the media's commitment to narratives makes it difficult to acknowledge reality
