The Biden Admin reveals its new National Security Strategy: climate change, diversity, equity and inclusion
The Biden Administration released its first National Security Strategy (NSS) document Wednesday, and it is exponentially more unhinged than any of its predecessors.

Bolton Leads the Way
John Bolton is calling for the quick and opportunistic assassination of Vlad Putin, and as many of his friends as possible.

Why Zelensky’s World War III gambit will fail
A continually unhinged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has spent the past year trying to draw NATO powers into direct conflict with Russia, and he has yet to achieve success, despite many attempts to do so. While the rhetoric between D.C., Brussels, and Moscow has certainly become more fiery, the kinetic pieces on the geopolitical...

EU Pushes For More Sanctions Which Will Come Back To Bite It

They also confiscated some $300 billion of Russia’s reserves that were invested in the ‘west’. The sanctions had been negotiated between the EU and the US and prepared for over several months.
