“[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] seems to be single-handedly holding [negotiations] up for his own personal reasons, trying to avoid the inevitable corruption charges that await him when this war is over,” said Dan Kovalik, a human rights activist and author who joined Political Misfits.

“...what [the US is] calling arms sales to Israel, but they'll never pay for those arms. It's gonna be a grant of arms to Israel even after these horrible videos have come out about gang rape by Israelis of Palestinian prisoners, and the terrible bombing of that school over the weekend that killed 100 to 150 people where they're only knowing how many people died by the weight of the remains that they collected. I mean, that's how horrible this thing is,” the analyst added.

“Twenty-five years ago, NATO bombed the main studio of Yugoslavia’s state-owned broadcasting company, Radio-Television Serbia (RTS),” writes the outlet Declassified UK. “The attack at 2am on 23 April 1999 came amid Bill Clinton and Tony Blair’s ‘humanitarian intervention’ in Kosovo.”

“16 media workers were killed and 19 injured in the strike on RTS,” the website notes.

“A NATO-created, trained, equipped and directed force of not just Ukrainians, but Polish, French, Americans [and] British has invaded Russia,” said the former UN weapons inspector, who recently faced political persecution in the US.

“This is how you trigger nuclear war. Now, fortunately, the Russians aren't panicking… the incursion has been contained. Not only that, it's been blunted,” Ritter emphasized.

“Ukraine is going to lose another 30 percent or more of its territory when this is done because Russia has basically determined that Ukraine can't be trusted, the West can't be trusted, that Russia can never believe in the notion of a Ukraine willing to live in peace with its Russian neighbor," Ritter stressed.

“My feeling is that this is a cover for something, whether for Kursk or something else that they're planning,” said Serbian-American journalist Nebojsa Malic on Sputnik’s The Final Countdown program. “Nobody's really yet offered a rebuttal to Seymour Hersh's allegations from last year that pretty much conclusively point a finger to either the British or the Americans.”

“The Nord Stream 2 pipeline explosion took place at a depth of 260 feet,” Rall said, noting the pipeline was twice as deep as the 130-foot depth limit for recreational divers. “You think about the logistical challenge. You have to go to 260 feet. It's pitch dark. It's freezing cold… This is the Baltic Sea, so it's bitter.”

“Then, you have to locate this thing. You have to break through the external casing of the thing. You have to plant the bomb. And you have to get away from it, you know, before it blows up and kills you and the rented pleasure craft that you got from Poland or wherever… this is not only not true, this cannot be true… So, why on earth are they so lame at their cover story?”
