European Union leaders begin two days of talks in Brussels with a momentous decision to be taken on whether to loan tens of billions of euros in frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to fund its military and economic needs. Most of Russia's €210bn (£185bn; $245bn) worth of assets in the EU are held by Belgium-based organisation Euroclear, and so far Belgium and some other members of the bloc have said they are opposed to using the cash. Without a boost in funding, Ukraine's finances are set to run dry in a matter of months. One European government official described being...

The Italian Renaissance gave birth to ballet, but Russians dominated the art to such a degree no one questioned their supremacy. The Bolshoi, the world’s reigning company, pirouetted onto U.S. stages in 1959 and 1962. The State Department-sponsored American Ballet Theatre (ABT) went east in 1960 followed two years later by the New York City Ballet (NYCB), led by its Russian émigré choreographer George Balanchine. Adding a thermonuclear layer of stress, the Cuban Missile Crisis ignited in October 1962 when the Bolshoi and the NYCB were in each other’s countries. Upstart Americans left home unproven underdogs…The New York Times feared...

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) said it has struck a Russian submarine in the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk using underwater drones, calling the operation a major breakthrough in naval warfare. Ukrainian authorities released video footage showing a near-surface explosion alongside a vessel, which Kyiv claims was a modern Russian submarine valued at up to $400 million. According to the SBU, the attack was carried out using “Sea Baby” underwater drones, a Ukrainian-developed system designed for stealth operations against naval targets. The agency said the blast left the submarine critically damaged and unable to operate. “This is the first time a...

U.S. satellites have detected suspicious activity deep inside Siberia, and analysts fear it may signal a major Russian strategic breakthrough. In this urgent breakdown, John Mearsheimer examines why this development has captured the immediate attention of Washington, NATO, and intelligence communities worldwide. Early assessments indicate unusual construction, heat signatures, and movement patterns consistent with advanced weapons testing or new strategic infrastructure. With limited visibility inside Russia’s interior, these satellite images are raising serious questions about Moscow’s next move. In this video, we cover: ✔️ What U.S. satellites spotted in Siberia ✔️ Why analysts believe this may be a breakthrough ✔️...

In contrast to the warmongers, President Trump has continuously said, “I want everybody to stop dying.”So, what’s preventing peace? Russian President Putin offered peace December 25, 2022, January 6, 2023, and again on June 14, 2024, with TASS reporting Putin offered “another real peace proposal to Kiev,” stating, “These parameters were generally agreed upon by everyone back during the Istanbul talks in 2022.” Yet, all of these proposals were rejected by Zelensky, the Biden administration, and the Brennen-infested CIA.Remember, this mess started in 2014 with Biden and the CIA in Kyiv toppling the duly elected pro-Russian president of Ukraine, because...

The Bottom of the BarrelBy Ryan Anderson O’DonnellFrontPageMagazine.com | April 16, 2003 Reading Overthrow.com, edited and published by former Pravda columnist and self-proclaimed anti-Semite1 Bill White, is akin to driving past a gruesome automobile accident on the highway; you just can’t help slowing down to investigate the wreck. With its web site traffic beginning to rival that of such mainstream political sites as "The Weekly Standard," it seems Overthrow has been attracting more than its fair share of rubberneckers.

WARSAW, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Poland has detained a Russian archaeologist whom Ukraine accuses of unauthorised excavation and plundering historical artefacts in Crimea, Polish authorities said on Thursday, prompting outrage from Moscow which demanded his immediate release.

We really don’t need to re-litigate this, because we’re right. The Russian collusion delusion was exposed. It was a hoax, and it did irreparable harm to the Democrats and their allies in the media. No one listens to the press anymore, with scores moving onto other streams for information since these clowns cannot do their jobs properly. After the 20th or so ‘bombshell’ in this story turned out to be a dud or fizzed out for lack of evidence, one would think this story smells like a con job. Instead, the Democrats, the media, and the Deep State doubled down,...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump on Saturday said that the airspace “above and surrounding” Venezuela should be considered as “closed in its entirety,” an assertion that raised more questions about the U.S. pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. His government accused Trump of making a ”colonial threat” and seeking to undermine the South American country’s sovereignty.The White House did not respond to questions about what Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, and it was unclear whether he was announcing a new policy or simply reinforcing the messaging around his campaign against Maduro, which has involved...

Washington, DC – We all know about the notorious Obama “Kill List.” CIA Director John Brennan proudly told us about that last year when he described how the O-Team decides which Americans should be executed by Hellfire Missile fired from remotely piloted aircraft (RPAs). Why hasn’t the White House used this capability to “take out” those who killed our diplomats in Benghazi, Libya last year? Clip and save this column. Herein are some important events, names, places – facts your children and grandchildren will need to know about these perilous times: Tuesday, September 11, 2012, Benghazi, Libya.

We have reached one of the most critical turning points in modern history, but most people don’t seem to understand this. Without a doubt, 2025 has been a year of war. There has been war in Ukraine, war in Iran, war in Gaza, and lots of other regional conflicts as well. But as I have been warning my readers, 2026 could potentially be far worse. Decisions that world leaders make during the months ahead will determine which way things go. Let us hope that they make their choices wisely. According to CNN, White House officials are coming up with plans...

Russian petrol prices are rising due to fiscal pressure, with the state taking up to 60% of the cost per litre in taxes and levies. Russia also operates a so-called damper mechanism that makes fuel prices largely independent of global oil prices but prevents them from falling. Yury Stankevich, deputy chairman of the State Duma's energy committee, previously proposed considering the possibility of introducing fuel subsidies for specific groups of Russian citizens following the same programme developed in Iran more than a decade ago. The parliamentarian said it is impossible to deny the social significance of fuel prices. The contrast...
