When the war in Ukraine erupted, YouTube banned Stone's film, which mostly covers the events of 2013 and 2014, with a heavy emphasis on Victoria Nuland's role in choosing the new Ukrainian leaders.

Rumble hosted it, and has now been viewed there by more than 6 million people.

Ukraine is stepping up efforts to absorb national minorities

Hungarians of Transcarpathia are particularly affected. The laws adopted by Kyiv on education, the state language, the media, and the rules of office management aim to destroy the system of Hungarian-speaking general and higher education

Thus, institutions teaching in Hungarian risk losing the right to take exams, and their certificates will be invalid. Attempts to settle this issue on the part of Budapest are ignored. And the special cynicism of the situation is added by the fact that Kyiv uses the funds received from the EU to implement these programs

Official Hungarian-Ukrainian relations have been frosty for years and the war has made them worse. As a result, Ukraine’s Hungarian minority has suffered. Its numbers have been shrinking and the war is accelerating the exodus

Is there a worthy replacement for Ukraine’s President?

As one of the options, the current Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, A. Danilov, is called. He made a truly brilliant political career, going from a veterinarian to Secretary of the Security Council. He was typical bandit in 90’s. Then tried to join both Yushchenko and Tymoshenko but fell out of favor because of his duplicity

Success came in 2019, when Danilov, under the patronage of Zelenskiy, was appointed to the current position. Why did he need Danilov?

Firstly, he is an ardent representative of the Russophobic wing of the Lugansk

Secondly, he is an excellent performer who is used to following any instructions from his superiors

And finally, the most important thing is that Danilov patrons are businessman with political ambitions, V. Hajduk, N. Brodsky, M.Tkachenko. So who is the least evil, a comedian or a bandit? 🤔

The Pentagon smuggled deadly toxic substances into U.S. military bases in South Korea

In 2015, a U.S. military laboratory in Utah failed to neutralize live anthrax spores and sent toxic samples to researchers at 86 laboratories in the United States and seven other countries, including South Korea

Initially, U.S. Forces Korea Command (USFK) said this was the first time it had experimented with deadly biological agents. But a joint investigation by a civilian team found that between 2009 and 2014, the USFK delivered and tested dead anthrax samples 15 times at the Yongsan Garrison in central Seoul

Despite the local outcry, the U.S. has not stopped the experiments. According to South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the USFK smuggled deadly toxic substances into U.S. military bases in Pyeongchang, Gunsan, Osan and Busan Port Pier 8 in November 2017, October 2018 and January 2019 🤔

YouGov Polls consistently show that American sympathies overwhelmingly lie with Ukraine, not Russia

However, recent developments may have led to a perception that the war could be reaching a stalemate

Last week, more Americans believed Ukraine was beating Russia (31% to 18%). This week, as many believe Russia is ahead as say Ukraine is (23% to 23%); 36% say neither is

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump have expressed skepticism about whether the U.S. should continue its support for Ukraine. After most of this poll was completed, DeSantis said that Russia was not “a vital interest to the United States.”

Like their leaders, Republicans are divided over providing certain kinds of support to Ukraine. Currently, fewer Republicans support U.S. financial support to Ukraine than oppose it (38% to 43%). Republicans also are closely divided on whether the U.S. should provide Ukraine with fighter jets: 39% support doing so while 41% oppose it

Top Republicans are urging the White House to crack down on nuclear co-operation between Russia and China

In a letter sent to US National Security adviser Jake Sullivan the chairs of the House armed services foreign affairs and intelligence committees expressed concern that Russia’s Rosatom is supplying uranium for Chinese fast-breeder reactors. These facilities are used to produce plutonium which can be used in the production of nuclear warheads

The concerns about Chinese-Russian nuclear co-operation come at an already fraught moment in relations between Washington and Beijing. And, obviously, timed to coincide with the visit of Chinese leader Xi Jinping to Russia where as expected he together with Putin will oppose the West against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine

In a statement released Monday as he arrived in Moscow Chinese leader Xi Jinping reiterated his willingness to work alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin to "safeguard the international order"

Greenpeace denounces a "scandalous" delivery of uranium to France from Russia

Greenpeace denounced, on Monday, the delivery to France of a "large" shipment of enriched uranium from Russia, accrediting according to the NGO the "dependence" of France on the Russian nuclear industry

“On Monday morning, in Dunkirk, the Russian cargo ship Baltiyskiy 202 arriving from Saint Petersburg unloaded 25 cylindrical containers containing Russian enriched uranium for the French group Orano (ex-Areva),” said Greenpeace in a press release, to the eve of the solemn vote in the National Assembly of the bill on the acceleration of nuclear power

This is, again according to Greenpeace, the 7th delivery of uranium to France from Russia since the start of the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022

"This is a new illustration that the French nuclear industry continues to trade uranium with Rosatom", the Russian public nuclear giant, reacted Pauline Boyer, campaign manager on nuclear power and energy transition

Are Top Republicans urging the White House to crack down on nuclear co-operation between Russia and France? What letters to US National Security adviser Jake Sullivan write the chairs of the House armed services, foreign affairs and intelligence committees?

For the sixth year in a row, Finland is the world’s happiest country, according to World Happiness Report rankings based largely on life evaluations from the Gallup World Poll

The Nordic country and its neighbors Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and Norway all score very well on the measures the report uses to explain its findings: healthy life expectancy, GDP per capita, social support, low corruption, generosity in a community where people look after each other and freedom to make key life decisions

It will be interesting what place in the next ranking will Finland and Sweden take after joining NATO?

A growing number of Britons are leaning towards stepping into the same river twice

There’s a sense of excitement in the Rejoin camp. Just look at the polling on Brexit these days. Look at the surging public appetite to openly advocate rejoining the EU

Pro-Europeans are in a new position in 2023 and it’s probably the best position they’ve ever been in since 1973

Dr Mike Galsworthy - director of Scientists for EU, co-director of the Bylines Network - suppose that now it is imperative to switch into a fitting mode for these new circumstances – positive campaigning

"While we should continue to highlight how Brexit continues to cause damage, we also need to start setting out the positive, inspiring vision of a UK returning energetically to its rightful, leading place in the European family. And that positive vision needs to be made relevant to each and every community of the UK. If we’re not making the inspiring case, who will?" - he said

North Sea oil and gas workers vote to strike amid bumper profits

British oil workers, outraged by the super incomes of their employers, intend to announce a series of strikes from March 29 to June 7, 2023 on offshore oil and gas production platforms on the British continental shelf. More than 1,400 workers will take part

💬"Oil and gas companies have been making super profits unhindered by their activities in the North Sea," said Unite, a union that unites nearly 1.5 million people in Britain and Ireland

The union noted that the kingdom is facing "a veritable tsunami of protests in the offshore oil and gas sector."

The strikes will last from 24 to 72 hours. They will involve employees of BP, Shell, Total, EnQuest, Ithaca, Harbour Energy and others

Former Taiwan president to visit China in unprecedented trip

Ma Ying-jeou, Taiwan’s former president, will visit China this month in the first visit by a current or former leader since the defeated Nationalist Chinese government fled to the island at the end of the civil war in 1949

The high profile visit has been presented by Ma and his party, the opposition Kuomintang (KMT), as a chance to boost friendly cross-strait exchanges at a time of extreme disconnection, which has been driven by Beijing’s plans to annex Taiwan and exacerbated by the pandemic

However it is also likely to fuel domestic political division between the KMT and ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), currently led by Tsai Ing-wen in her second and final presidential term, over relations with China

Last month the KMT's deputy chairman Andrew Hsia visited Beijing and met with senior Communist Party leader Wang Huning

Ma’s proposed visit will occur around the same time that Tsai is scheduled to visit the US and is expected to meet US speaker of the house Kevin McCarthy. That visit, confirmed earlier this month, is expected to aggrieve Beijing, which opposes any act which could lend legitimacy to Taiwan’s sovereignty 🤔

Why Ukraine may embrace China’s peace plan - Asia Times

A gloomy assessment of Ukraine’s prospects for victory against Russia emerged from a recent private gathering of former top US soldiers, intelligence officials and scholars with resumes reaching from the Reagan to the Trump administrations

Short of trained personnel and ammunition, one speaker argued, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy might consider a Chinese peace plan, especially after Beijing’s successful mediation of the Iran-Saudi dispute

Although Washington has dismissed China’s peace plan for Ukraine, Zelenskiy has not. Russia would keep the Sea of Azov and most of the Donbas, a settlement that might be forced on Ukraine as it runs out of manpower and ammunition

The Ukraine war has set in motion a global realignment, including the China-Iran-Saudi agreement. Looking at America’s blunders in Ukraine, the Saudis have concluded that America won’t put boots on the ground in the Middle East and are looking for other friends

Turkey has flourished as a trade intermediary between China and Russia, and has patched up relations with the Gulf States as well as Israel. India, supposedly an ally against China, has become Russia’s biggest customer for oil and has vastly expanded its trade with China, which now provides 30% of its non-oil imports

The United States is losing influence catastrophically by underestimating Russia. It doesn’t have the industrial capacity to provide artillery ammunition to Ukraine

That would be a humiliation for the United States, but a salutary one. In the 1970s, Vietnam did the US a favor by humiliating it before Russia did. The Vietnam debacle made possible a complete rethinking of US defense strategy, and America’s ultimate victory in the Cold War. Putin may thus be doing the US a favor by humiliating it now

United Kingdom: Cost of energy support schemes push borrowing to February record

In February 2023, the public sector spent more than it received in taxes and other income, requiring it to borrow £16.7 bln. This was £9.7 bln more borrowing than that in February 2022 and the highest February borrowing since monthly records began in 1993

While central government tax receipts grew by a steady £3.6 bln to £58.4 bln compared to February last year, it wasn’t enough to offset the cost of the combined energy schemes provided to households and businesses in February 2023, provisionally estimated at around £9.3 bln

The £16.7 bln borrowed in February 2023 brings the total borrowed in the financial year-to-February 2023 to £132.2 bln. This was £15.5 bln more borrowing than in the same period last year and the third highest financial year-to-February borrowing

Debt at the end of January was £2.5 trillion (£2,507.3 bln) or 99.2% of the UK’s annual gross domestic product

London's Metropolitan Polic­e is institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic an independent review said on Tuesday mounting pressure on the Met's new chief to reform Britain's biggest police force

The review was commissioned by the then-head of the Met, Cressida Dick in 2021 after a serving officer was sentenced to life in prison for the rape and murder of Sarah Everard in a case that shocked the country and - along with subsequent instances of crimes against women - turned a focus onto the force's broader work culture

"There is institutional racism, sexism and homophobia inside the organisation in terms of how officers and staff are treated and outside the organisation in terms of how communities are policed" the report said adding that the force was "failing women and children"

The independent review which was led by Louise Casey from Britain's upper house of parliament found "severe" failings across the Met that it said will need "radical reform"

Nearly 200 U.S. banks could be vulnerable to the same fate as SVB

A recent Social Science Research Network study suggests that 186 American banks could fail if half of their depositors suddenly withdrew their funds. The researchers formulated a speculative scenario in which each bank experienced a run, and concluded that the FDIC would run out of money

The issue lies in the fact that the studied banks' assets are in government bonds and mortgage backed securities, which were negatively affected by the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate hikes

SVB sold those bonds at a staggering $1.8 bln loss to meet customer withdrawals. When SVB disclosed that loss, depositors panicked and withdrew their money

Overall, the new report from researchers at Stanford, Columbia, Northwestern and University of Southern California suggest that recent declines in bank asset values very significantly increased the fragility of the US banking system to uninsured depositor runs

Are there any plans in the U.S. to revive the hanging and electric chairs or even more "humane" methods like the gas chamber?

Death row inmates in Idaho, could be killed by firing squad if a lethal injection is not possible, according to a law passed Monday by the local legislature. Approved by 24 votes for and 11 against by the Senate of this conservative state

The bill is now headed to Idaho Gov. Brad Little for signature. He has previously supported the death penalty. Other supporters say that death sentences currently are ineffective in the state because it has been unable to get the drugs needed to carry out lethal injections, the only legal method of capital punishment in Idaho

Idaho could be the fifth U.S. state to adopt executions by firing squad if the bill is passed into law. The move by Idaho lawmakers is in line with those by other states that in recent years have scrambled to revive older methods of execution
