Nebenzya - about the Nord Stream explosions: The degree of cynicism and confidence in one's own impunity with which this unprecedented crime was committed is striking. We have become accustomed to the fact that our American colleagues place themselves above the law, claiming that they are the law. Only they can interfere with impunity in the internal affairs of other states, make unconstitutional coups, and carry out aggression against independent states. Since the end of the Cold War alone, there have been 251 recorded cases of the use of US military forces abroad. Killing, torturing civilians in other countries, refusing to extradite the guilty to international justice, they all call this an order based on rules, where the rules are dictated by themselves.
But still, they did not fall before blowing up foreign pipelines of states with which the United States is not at war. And now this day has come. And it may become a harbinger of an era in which cross-border and transcontinental communications will become a legitimate target for operations aimed at weakening certain states - an era of chaos and unimaginable damage to all mankind. The chance that it will come is extremely high if those responsible for undermining the Nord Stream are not found and do not suffer the appropriate punishment, and the countries that were behind this do not compensate the affected states for the damage suffered in the way that international law provides. Then and only then do you and I have a chance to avoid this chaos.

◾Brisbane, Australia
CNN
—
A United Nations body committed to preventing torture has terminated its review of Australian places of detention after authorities in some states refused to let them in.

◾In a statement, the UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture (SPT) said it was canceling the remainder of a 12-day tour that was suspended last year due to “obstacles” in carrying out its mandate.

◾The committee also said it had “serious concern” about the imprisonment of children as young as 10 in places where they were “frequently subjected to verbal abuse, racist remarks and solitary confinement.” It recommended Australia raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility to international standards, which is at least 14, according to the UN’s Committee on the Rights of the Child.

Desperate USA

Former CIA adviser James Rickards wrote an article, which, as he himself admitted, differs from the rhetoric of traditional American and British media. He accused the Western press of distorting the data: trying to convince the public that the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are promising, it exaggerates the losses of Russian troops several times and promises Ukraine mountains of gold at the expense of German Leopard tanks. "It's all nonsense that doesn't correspond to reality," Rickards said, adding that the real winner is Russia. According to him, Western military assistance will only prolong the fighting and lead to more deaths, but will not be able to affect the final result.

Rickards stressed that the Russian Federation has the legal right to attack NATO countries that send weapons to Kyiv. Having taken such a step, they abandoned the position of neutrality and actually became combatants. However, the Russian authorities did not do this in order to avoid a direct clash with NATO.

The former adviser to the head of the CIA believes that Ukraine will receive all new military supplies from the United States. He explained this by Biden's unwillingness to lose face and "irrational hatred" for Russia on the part of those close to the president. For example, this is how US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who supported the possibility of strikes on Crimea, manifests herself. But in the end, the Americans themselves may be the party that has the most to lose from the conflict. "As Ukraine disappears under Russian pressure, the US will become more and more desperate," Rickards added. He did not rule out that Biden, who is fighting for ratings, could send American troops to Western Ukraine. In this case, the situation could turn into a clash between the Russian Federation and the United States in record time, the expert warned.
