    Russia has been baited into a closing trap in Ukraine - as it was in Afghanistan. This brings closer America's aim of "breaking Russia" (Kissinger). Ukraine will suffer as a familiar US pawn. Read this prophetic piece from 4 Feb:

    I have reported many wars and witnessed their horrors. Whatever the reason for a war, whatever the grievances of its 'cause', one truth is constant: a war is impossible to control. The invasion of Ukraine must be stopped now or we all are at grave risk.

    In 2018 - 3 years into Yemen war - there were no calls from Guardian for sanctions on Saudi dictatorship to stop its brutal destruction of Yemen. Instead, the paper took regime money to launder the new dictator’s reputation + present him as progressive. Yemenis are unpeople.

    Below is a BBC map which leaves no doubt of the recent, rapid expansion of NATO towards Russia. NATO, with a proven record of rapacious war, now completely surrounds Russia in the West, with missiles aimed point-blank at Moscow.

    The invasion of a sovereign state is lawless and wrong. A failure to understand the cynical forces that provoked the invasion of Ukraine insults the victims. Please read this:

    News you won't read. On Thursday, Putin reportedly offered peace if Ukraine embraced neutrality and rejected Nato's arms. Ukraine's president Zelensky was elected in 2019 largely by ethnic Russians on a platform to make peace with Russia.

    The way the world is ruled, and reported, in 2022. The crimes 'they' commit are condemned and punished. The crimes 'we' commit are consigned to oblivion. 'We' did this to the children of Yemen.

    The Hypocrites on parade. Watch them on CNN, the BBC, read them wall-to-wall. Now imagine a strategic enclave of Britons, or French, or Germans, or Americans under violent siege - shelled and terrorised - for eight years. Would this be tolerated by the rulers of the world?

    For Johnson and Biden to lecture us on the ethics of world affairs is absurd. Biden is currently stealing Afghanistan's cash reserves and condemning millions to starvation. The West could have brought peace to Ukraine, but chose not to. Please read this:

    "Invasion" news you won't read. The US is sending millions of dollars worth of arms to Europe's only openly neo-Nazi infested country while Britain trains Ukraine's neo-Nazi infested National Guard and the regime lays siege to Russian-speaking Donbas. ?
