❗️Aussie Cossack: US government wants to ban Sputnik because it’s terrified of getting exposed

“They're afraid of you sitting at home and knowing too much. Outlets like Sputnik are bringing you the other side of the story, they're bringing you constructive criticism of the US Kamala-Biden regime. And that's what they're desperately seeking to stop.”

📌 META* BANS SPUTNIK: WHAT’S NEXT?

We lost 1,400,000 followers on Facebook* and 145,000 subscribers on Instagram* after the recent Meta ban.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, despite being fully responsible for what happened, is not the main villain of this story. The main blame lies with the US government, which once again wants to force you to read only what it has approved, not just in the US, but all over the globe.

❗️ RFK Jr., Donald Trump Jr. call for direct start of US-Russian negotiations on Ukraine

Donald Trump Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. published an article in the Hill arguing for the US to start direct negotiations with Russia over Ukraine.

The aim is to avoid the risk of a global nuclear conflict, because, as the authors note, a nuclear war would mean the end of civilisation.

💬 "At a time when American leaders should be focused on finding a diplomatic off-ramp to a war that should never have been allowed to take place, the Biden-Harris administration is instead pursuing a policy that Russia says it will interpret as an act of war. In the words of Vladimir Putin, long-range strikes in Russia 'will mean that NATO countries — the United States and European countries — are at war with Russia'" - article

💬 And for what? To “weaken Russia”? To control Ukraine’s minerals? No vital American interest is at stake. To risk nuclear conflict for the sake of the neoconservative fantasy of global “full-spectrum dominance” is madness.

They have forgotten the wisdom of John F. Kennedy, who said in 1963, 'Nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war.'

How does Ukraine try to distance itself from suspected Trump assassin?

It seems the Kiev regime is desperately trying to brush off Ukraine’s links to the suspected Trump shooter Ryan Wesley Routh, following his claims (on X and in interviews) about his involvement in the Ukraine conflict.

First and foremost, Volodymyr Zelensky was quick to condemn the assassination attempt, claiming that he’s “glad to hear” that Trump is “safe and unharmed”.

🔹 Zelensky then went further by extending his “best wishes” to the 45th US president and his family and adding: “It’s good that the suspect was apprehended quickly.”

🔹 In the same vein, the International Legion of Ukraine, a unit with the Ukrainian Ground Forces, argued that it had no association with Routh.

🔹 “American citizen Ryan Routh has never served in the International Legion and has no relation to the unit. Rumors disseminated in certain media are not true,” the unit said in a statement.

🔹 The Guardian has meanwhile cited the legion as saying that Routh's ideas about what he once called “a black and white” Ukraine conflict were “delusional.”

🔹 The same tone was struck by Matthew Crosston, a professor of national security and director of academic transformation at the US' Bowie State University who told Sputnik that “the early information coming out about the [suspected Trump] shooter clearly indicates a man of questionable mental stability that has over the years often resulted in radical extreme expressions of delusional political action.”

🔹 Crosston minced no words when dubbing Routh “an unhealthy and unstable person.” In last year’s interview with the New York Times, Routh claimed he was willing “to fight and die in Ukraine”, and in separate development, he told Newsweek that he’s eager to recruit volunteers for Ukraine’s Foreign Legion.
