Jeffrey Sachs: U.S. Policy & "West's False Narrative" Stoking Tensions with Russia, China
The NEOCON agenda was to surround Russia and Russia is only acting defensively given the situation created by the USA. It is American arrogance which has brought us to where we are today: ON THE BRINK OF A WORLD WAR AGAINST BOTH RUSSIA AND CHINA!

Ukraine blames Russia for blackouts amid offensive
Ukraine used almost everything it had to attack Russia's weakest point. This is what we call a tactical victory. Ukraine is now in an extremely vulnerable position and that's what we call a strategic mistake. As for attacking "civilian infrastructure" that is what the USA does BEFORE invading a country. In Iraq the entire grid was wiped out before we set foot in that country. Russia attempted to invade Ukraine with minimal impact on civilians. That was a mistake. They should have wiped out every key piece of infrastructure before putting boots on the ground, but the Russians are not heartless murderers like certain other much more aggressive countries..... not to name any names!!!!

Upgrading the Special Military Operation
CNN and MSNBC leave out almost all of what happened and only reported the details which make Ukraine look good. It's pure propaganda. You need to do a little hunting to find information which provides the full picture.

[desertrat]

The military activities in Ukraine are being done under what's called an SMO (Special Military Operation) and the framework limits what the military is allowed to do. CNN and MSNBC have reported that there are protests against the military activities in Ukraine and that's sort of true, but the protests are about the limitations being put on the military. Protesters want the restrictions to be lifted and for the military to be able to go in and kick some serious ass. The strikes against the power grid seems to be a response to the protests and it is likely the operation will be upgraded to an Anti-Terrorist Operation which will allow the military to aggressively obliterate targets in Ukraine. So, what we have is a case of CNN and MSNBC spinning and distorting events to push a false narrative and the most interesting thing about this turn of events is that leadership can be targeted under the terms of an Anti-Terrorist Operation which means the military can directly target Zelensky and so we might see Zelensky go into hiding and stop making so many media appearances or more likely Zelensky will try to run things from outside of Ukraine.

desertrat: You're right about Zelensky being a coward! Once things heat up he'll run to mommy (USA and NATO) and cower like a frightened infant.
Europeans go Putin Putin!
Europeans are becoming increasingly supportive of Russia. There might even now be a majority of Europeans who are against NATO and the USA fueling the war in Ukraine. However, the media is doing all it can to squelch any anti-Ukraine or pro-Russian rhetoric. They've crossed the line of desperation where they are now willing to resort to outright censorship. The end is not far off. The question is whether there will be negotiated settlement or if Russia will just take the entire country.

Teachers Considered To Be 'Russian Collaborators'
Ukrainians are hunting for Russian collaborators in the newly re-captured Khrakiv region and teachers who taught Russian curriculum as mandated by Russia while they were in control of the area are being arrested and charged with the crime of being a 'Russian collaborator.' When Ukraine recaptured Bucha they shot those believed to be 'Russian collaborators' and left the dead bodies in the streets and then tried to blame these atrocities on the Russians! At least this time we're not seeing such false claims being made, but it's pretty ridiculous to be arresting teachers who were just doing their jobs!

Russia's SHOCKING Supporter
Looks like the Pope is not getting his news (or maybe I should say propaganda) from CNN or MSNBC.
