Алексей Венедиктов: «Лучший вопрос Лаврову. Елена Черненко (Коммерсант) -
Накануне Нового года Вы говорили, что отношение России и ЕС напоминают Камасутру, а сейчас утверждаете, что ЕС импотент. Что случилось за две недели?
И Лавров опечалился».

Алексей Алексеевич, разве этот смех похож на печаль? 😝

When reading this New York Times piece about economic growth in China one might come away with the impression that the country is trending towards a recession. bigger China’s Economy Is Slowing, a Worrying Sign for the World Economic output...

Michael McFaul knows full well that Ukraine is not a democracy. The two main opposition leaders have been targeted by politically motivated "treason" charges to reduce competition for Vladimir Zelensky.

Viktor Medvedchuk is already under house arrest & Petro Poroshenko may be jailed today

US Defence Secretary Ben Wallace published this yesterday.

He insisted that NATO is purely "defensive," then blurted out that he considers Russia to be "malign," and that NATO recruits new members that agree with this assessment.

One expert in Moscow said last year:

"Russia asks NATO not to expand, saying it will make Europe less safe; NATO ignores these entreaties & adds new members; Russia then pushes back; This is then labelled 'aggression' and is used to justify the next round of NATO expansion."

Thus, NATO has become its own self-realising prophecy. It now fights "threats" that have been created by its own existence & expansion.

Russia sees NATO as a danger and NATO needs Moscow as an enemy in order to justify its existence & keep the money rolling in.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡ The Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing a series of terrorist attacks in Gorlovka, Yasinovataya, Donetsk and Dokuchaevsk.

This information was received by intelligence of the People's Militia of the DPR.

Transformer substations, water and gas pipelines, and power lines will be hit. Planned in the Ukrainian headquarters and attacks on the chemical industry.

The saboteurs will act under the guise of military DNI and Russia. All provocations will be filmed so that the Ukrainian side can provide “evidence” of Russian aggression” to international organizations.
