HER SHRIEKS ARE INSANE... NATO IS GOD, AND TRUMP WANTS TO  MAKE WHATEVER. LET'S BE CLEAR: NATO IS A FASCIST WAR MACHINE. NATO IS A SHOCKING NAZI WAR MACHINE... BUT MICHELLE BENTLEY, A YOUNG WOMAN WITH LITTLE EXPERIENCE IN LIFE — POSSIBLY BORN IN THE LAST SHOWER — BELIEVES IN NATO LIKE A CATHOLIC BELIEVES IN CHRIST OR AN ALCOHOLIC BELIEVES IN SPIRITS... SHE'S NUT. THE CONVERSATION IS NUTS!!!! THIS IS WHAT SHE STARTS WITH:

...OR ANY OTHER ENGLISH MEDIA, INCLUDING THE GUARDIAN…

THIS FROM ONE OF THE GUARDIAN READERS:

In her article (As brutal war rages and famine looms, look at pictures of Gaza and keep saying: ‘this is not normal’, 25 March), Nesrine Malik compares the invasions of Ukraine by Russia and Gaza by Israel and the US reaction to them. She seems to think she is comparing like with like, but she is not.

'Russia Won, NATO Lost': France Leader Drops Bombshell; Global Panic Over Ukraine's Loss?

SINCE THE TIMES ARTICLE BELOW FROM A MONTH AGO, THE SITUATION FOR ZELENSKY HAS GOT FAR WORSE:

I doubted whether or not it would be possible, but Russia has managed to trace the funding to at least one of these terrorists – back to the Ukraine.

The FSB is the world’s premiere intelligence and safety agency, which is why these attacks are not happening all the time. They didn’t even lock down Moscow after the attack. Instead, they did massive raids and deportations of Moslems, quietly, while the people remained free to go about in safety without the oppressive atmosphere of soldiers everywhere.

Why did Rishi Sunak downgrade me from security threat No 1 and hand it to China? The black dude who strolled into No 10 in loafers. And the Baltimore conundrum. Plus incontinent Biden

New NATO member admits ‘sovereignty’ issue with US pact
A military agreement with Washington comes at a cost, Helsinki has said

A new military cooperation agreement with Washington limits Helsinki’s sovereignty, the Finnish Foreign Ministry said on Thursday, advising that its ratification will therefore require a two-thirds majority in the parliament.

Finland joined NATO in April 2023, abandoning a decades-long policy of neutrality. It began negotiating a Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with the US almost immediately, and signed it last December. 

Russia has hit back after a senior White House official accused it of peddling “manure” by claiming that Ukraine may be linked to last week’s terrorist attack near Moscow.

Moscow believes the attack may have been masterminded by Ukrainian special services who used a group of radical Islamists to carry it out. Washington has urged the world to accept the claim of responsibility by ISIS-K, an Afghanistan-based offshoot of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS).

At a press briefing on Thursday, White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby called the Russian skepticism “nonsense and propaganda.”

US President Joe Biden is set to host a record-breaking fundraiser in New York City, alongside his predecessors Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
The gathering and concert will raise over $25m (£20m) for the Democrat's re-election campaign - the most ever for a single political event, says his team.
They are looking to extend a growing cash gap between the president and his Republican challenger Donald Trump.
Polls suggest the race for the White House rests on a knife edge.

Thursday's event at New York's Radio City Music Hall comes after a Biden campaign blitz in battleground states that could prove pivotal in November's vote.

The 81-year-old has been seeking to capitalise on momentum following his State of the Union Address earlier this month, which was well-received by Democrats.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military- industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

— President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Farewell Address  (1961)

In the late 1980s I had a student in an American history class who said that the United States won the war in Vietnam. I felt dizzy. Maybe I had misunderstood. So, I asked him to explain. “My father,” he told the class, “said that we had won the war because we won most of the battles and we killed more of them than they killed of us.”

London: I have just returned from a week in Ukraine and I can’t stop thinking about it.

History has judged Neville Chamberlain − who led Britain into World War II − poorly for his infamous 1938 observation of the conflict between Nazi Germany and Czechoslovakia as a “quarrel in a far away country, between people of whom we know nothing”.

Less than two years later, of course, the Nazis were bombing London.

Last week’s terror attack on a Moscow concert venue has opened a Pandora’s Box of allegations by Russian officials accusing Western intelligence agencies and governments of secretly cooperating with, coordinating and masterminding the activities of international terrorist groups. Occasionally, however, Western actors don't even bother to hide it.

US President Joe Biden has disparaged his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for the second time in two months, publicly calling him a “butcher” in connection with the Ukraine conflict.

Biden made the jab while speaking at a campaign event in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Tuesday. He also advocated raising the average federal tax for America’s wealthiest from 8.2% to 25%, arguing that this would allow Washington to raise $400 billion over the next ten years.

“Imagine what we could do with that. We could fundamentally slash the federal deficit…  We could do so many things – consequential – including finally making sure that we take care of Ukraine from that butcher Putin,” he said.

On October 16, 2023, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi met with former leader of the Labour Party and former Prime Minister of the UK Tony Blair in Beijing.

Wang Yi said that as major countries with global influence, China and the UK should strengthen cooperation to promote world development in the right direction. China's development strengthens the world's forces for peace and stability. Wang Yi expressed the hope that the UK government will pursue a rational, pragmatic and positive China policy and increase the connotation of the times in China-UK relations. The Communist Party of China is ready to strengthen exchanges with the Labour Party of the UK.

Russia rejects US sea annexations

American plans would violate international law, Moscow has said

Moscow does not recognize Washington’s attempt to illegally claim over a million square kilometers of maritime territory, including in the Arctic and the Bering Sea, the Russian Foreign Ministry has said.

Russian representatives informed the Council of the International Seabed Authority of this on Monday. The council is currently meeting in Kingston, Jamaica and operates under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

The US is “unilaterally trying to reduce the area of ​​the seabed under the Authority, and hence the entire international community,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Larry Fink, the head of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management firm, has warned that demographics will inevitably strain pension systems and that longer lives are projected to force workers to retire later.

In his annual letter to chief executives and investors released on Tuesday, the billionaire investor called on governments to take urgent steps to tackle the “retirement crisis” by helping people save more for when they get old. Fink expressed concern that not enough is being done to ensure people have enough money to safeguard their retirement.
