Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday makes his first visit to close ally Canada, where he is guaranteed a warmer welcome than he received from some US politicians skeptical about providing more military aid. Canada is one of Kyiv’s staunchest supporters in the war against Russia and is set to announce during the visit that it is sending more weapons to Ukraine, according to a government official. “Canada will continue to support Ukraine as long as it takes and we will always stand firm to defend the rule of law and the international rules-based order,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told...

“Polish President Andrzej Duda on Tuesday compared Ukraine’s fight for survival to that of a “drowning person” capable of bringing down those who try to help. “Ukraine is behaving like a drowning person clinging to anything available,” Duda told Polish journalists, the Financial Times reported. “A drowning person is extremely dangerous, capable of pulling you down to the depths … simply drown the rescuer.” Of course, Duda refused to meet with St Zelensky at the UN meetings, and Old senile Joe needs to prepare for “ Zelensky’s Revenge”, he has the “ goods” on not just senile Joe’s corruption, but...

Can we continue to do this? The short answer is yes, we can continue to do this, and the United...

Zelenskyy lectures us for failing on climate change objectives

This clown world is getting more retarded by the minute. RT: A New York Times investigation ‘strongly suggested’ on Monday that Ukrainian forces were responsible for a deadly missile strike at a Donbass market, on the day US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited the country. The incident on September 6 in the Kiev-controlled Donbass city of Konstantinovka killed at least 15 civilians and injured scores of others. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky immediately accused Russia of launching the strike and claimed that any “attempts to deal with anything Russian” meant turning a blind eye to “the audacity of evil.” Many...

We are about to meet Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, junior sergeant and spokesman for Ukrainian Territorial Defense Force (TDF) and, honestly, we don’t have to dig too deeply to see that this person is not well, mentally. Here’s a video where he talks about hunting down Russian propagandists: Since there are several people asking for this video and many discussing it on Telegram and across social media channels, here is my latest episode of Russia Hates the Truth.

On September 10, in an exclusive interview with the British weekly The Economist, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that the country would never compromise with Russian President Vladimir Putin and that the war will continue for as long as Russia remains on Ukrainian territory. “A negotiated deal would not be permanent. The Russian president has a habit of creating frozen conflicts on Russia’s borders (in Georgia, for example), not as ends in themselves but because his goal is to restore the Soviet Union. The mistake is not diplomacy. The mistake is diplomacy with Putin. He negotiates only with himself,” the...

Col MacGregor with another assessment of the disastrous Proxy war Demented Joe has dragged us into.

Donald Trump is a dangerous yahoo who may well destroy what is left of the USA's constitutional government before he is finished. I do not in any way defend him. But there is something almost comically hypocritical about the establishment's shocked reaction to the January 2021 failed putsch which he is accused of inciting. Once again I must point out that the same liberal elite types happily condone a much worse putsch, one which succeeded and has helped to drag Europe into its worst war for more than 70 years. Mr. Trump is alleged to have sought to prevent the...

And then there is ‘involuntary’ which is Big Business throughout Europe, the US and China. Ukraine, in its massive corruptness became a hub with the US Navy kindly building two seaports for drug and human trafficking.The media loudly asserts otherwise, but the facts have been available and produced countless times over decades. Why do governments pretend it doesn’t exist? Because the...

The Senate GOP’s refusal to force a Democrat reconciliation with crises created by Biden means Republicans are playing into Democrats’ hands.A government shutdown is again imminent, but Republican messaging on the reason for the spending standoff is inconsistent thanks to the Senate GOP, which plans to greenlight the Biden administration’s cash infusion.If Democrats get their way, Congress will send at least $13 billion taxpayer dollars to Ukraine, something a majority of U.S. taxpayers say they don’t want to do, and spend another estimated $27 billion cash on unspecified “emergency funding.”Some GOP members in the lower chamber have pledged to do...

A significant number of Ukrainians will eventually be required to engage in warfare – a realization that, at present, eludes them, Taras Berezovets, a political strategist and an officer of the I. Bohun First Separate Brigade, told Radio NV on Aug. 27.Commenting on a recent post by Ukrainian filmmaker and military figure Oleh Sentsov, in which Sentsov indicated that sooner or later everyone will have to fight, Berezovets pointed out that he doesn’t believe that many in Ukrainian society are ready.“In the literal sense, the war will touch everyone. Many who don’t realize it now will have to fight,” he...
