The US and its allies have tried to manipulate this country's politics since the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s

One of the most curious cases in the turbulent history of post-Cold War US-Russian relations is the decision of the US authorities to reduce financial aid to Moscow after the free elections to the State Duma in 1993 gave a significant number of seats in the new Russian parliament to representatives of the former ruling Communists and the nationalist LDPR. This direct reaction by Washington to the results of the popular will in a foreign country was a perfect example of how the West views the nature of, and challenges facing, democratic institutions in countries it considers dependent on it.

Comment: The papacies of the ideology of western democracy are situated in Washington and Brussels. Interpretation that falls outside of their decrees may get hit by defamation attacks, sanctions, bans and crusades.

US is not a democracy - Putin

The Russian leader has called the political situation in America a "catastrophe"...

The US has become a global laughing stock by criticizing democratic processes in other nations while suppressing a presidential candidate in its own election, Russian leader Vladimir Putin has claimed.

Speaking to journalists in Moscow early on Monday morning, shortly after preliminary results indicated he would be reelected with 87% of the vote in the Russian presidential election, Putin stated:
"The whole world is laughing at what is happening" in the US. We are behaving with more restraint than their opponents in other countries, but this is just a catastrophe, not a democracy - that's what it is."
Putin claimed that the current US administration is using all its resources to attack a candidate for this year's presidential election, seemingly referring to Donald Trump. The former US leader is facing a litany of lawsuits despite being the presumptive Republican nominee for the vote in November.

Comment: There is no rebuttal to any of the above. Putin is correct.

Scott Ritter: Putin's 'dedicated work' added to reinvigorated Russia

Putin started to rise to political prominence during the country's times of trouble in the 1990s, when the very existence of the Russian nation was up in the air, former US Marine Corps Intelligence Officer Scott Ritter told Sputnik.

The three-day presidential elections have wrapped up in Russia, where an overwhelming majority of voters opted for incumbent Vladimir Putin remaining in office for a new six-year term.

Putin prevailed over his three competitors, including head of the Liberal Democratic Party Leonid Slutsky, Communist Party candidate Nikolay Kharitonov, and New People Party nominee Vladislav Davankov.

Speaking to Sputnik, former US Marine Corps Intelligence Officer Scott Ritter looked back at Putin's previous years of presidency in light of the Russian head of state's election victory. According to Ritter, the process of reinvigorating the Russian nation was one of the key achievements by Putin.

The ex-US Marine Corps intelligence officer said:
"One should understand that this process 'didn't happen in a vacuum' and was the byproduct of a quarter century of dedicated work on behalf of Vladimir Putin for Russia and the Russian people."

Niger severs ties with US military after alarm raised junta will supply uranium to Iran

Niger announced over the weekend that it is suspending military cooperation with the United States, in a significant blow to the Pentagon's presence in West Africa, which is likely to result in Washington being forced to withdraw its troops, also in a major blow to AFRICOM's influence on the continent.

Last year's coup saw a military-led government come to power, which from the start signaled rough and uncertain times ahead for US-Niger relations. A Saturday statement by Nigerien junta spokesman Col. Maj. Amadou Abdramane said,
"Niger regrets the intention of the American delegation to deny the sovereign Nigerien people the right to choose their partners and types of partnerships capable of truly helping them fight against terrorism."
This charge of the US not respecting the West African nation's sovereignty comes in reaction to recent Western intelligence claims that Niger has been engaged in secret talks and deal-making to grant Iran access to its uranium. US officials have also bitterly complained about Niger cozying up to Moscow.

Moscow: NATO won't bring stability to Caucasus

The bloc's desire to gain a foothold in the region is no secret, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

Russia is well aware of NATO's attempts to court post-Soviet republics in the South Caucasus, but the bloc's overtures will bring no benefit to the region, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Peskov commented on NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg's tour this week of Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia to boost ties with these nations.

Peskov said that the NATO chief's trip is further proof of the bloc's push to gain more clout in the region. "NATO's overall aspiration to secure a foothold in the Caucasus is well-known. One could see this with the naked eye."

Best of the Web: WaPo reports Biden KNEW Israel was indiscriminately bombing civilians in Gaza

The US president was told in October that Israeli airstrikes were often carried out without "solid intelligence," the newspaper claims

The White House knew since late October that Israel was regularly bombing civilian targets in Gaza, but President Joe Biden continued to publicly defend the Israeli military's conduct, the Washington Post reported on Monday.

On October 27, three weeks into Israel's war with Hamas, Biden's top foreign policy officials told a small group at the White House that "Israel was regularly bombing buildings without solid intelligence that they were legitimate military targets," the newspaper wrote, citing three sources familiar with the meeting.

The officials also expressed concern that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had no clear plan for defeating the Palestinian militant group, with one source telling the Post that "from the very beginning, there's been a sense of us not knowing how the Israelis were going to do what they said they were going to do."

Comment: Since the whole affair would come to a screeching halt were Washington to cut off arms and money to Israel, it's pretty clear who's really in charge here.

Israel Is Starving Gaza

The IDF uses the aid as a weapon of war, intent on starving the civilians.

At least one UNRWA staff member was killed after Israel targeted a food distribution center in Rafah, in southern Gaza, on March 13. Another 22 UNRWA workers were injured in the attack by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

On March 14, the IDF released a statement to the U.S. media CBS news, that the IDF has precisely targeted a 'Hamas Operations Unit' based on intelligence, which the IDF claims were distributing humanitarian aid to 'terrorists'.

UNRWA confirmed that the aid distribution center attacked was on a list of UN supported facilities across Gaza which are by international law to be safe for civilians and aid workers alike. By Israel attacking known humanitarian sites, such as food centers, schools and clinics, the IDF is declaring that there is nowhere safe in Gaza, or in southern Gaza, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had instructed all civilians to gather for safety.

The UN has warned that the people in Gaza are close to famine from lack of food aid during the current and ongoing bombardment of civilian homes and infrastructure.

Over 30 people have died recently from lack of food and water, and many were children.

Romania has now begun construction of what will eventually be the NATO alliance's largest European military base, as the transatlantic bloc seeks to bolster its capabilities in the Black Sea region with an eye on Russian activity there.

The $2.7 billion project will expand the Romanian Air Force 57th Air Base Mihail Kogălniceanu, which is located close to the Black Sea port city of Constanța. The new facility will have a perimeter of almost 20 miles, cover around 11 square miles, and will be home to some 10,000 NATO personnel and their families.

Romania has long been a key hub for NATO operations in the Black Sea region. Thousands of U.S. troops have cycled through the country on training and security missions since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war on Ukraine. American combat and surveillance aircraft regularly operate from there as part of NATO's policing operations.

Psssst. You. Yeah, you! Wanna know a secret?

OK, but you gotta promise not to tell anyone.

Here it is: the inbred eugenicist elitist globalist technocrats that presume to rule over humanity are speaking in subtle code. If you listen extra carefully and you think very hard about it and learn to read between the lines, you just might discover the super secret message that the They/Them/Those of the New World Order agenda have carefully embedded in their public statements.

What, you don't believe me? OK, then let's take a look at some examples and I'll help you decode these cryptic messages.

Ukraine aid is hostage to US politics

Ukraine is caught in the riptide of political currents generated by the unique illogic of the "silly season" of US presidential politics. In the months leading up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, and for the better part of the two years that the Russia-Ukraine conflict has raged since then, the administration of US President Joe Biden has set the tone and pace of international support for the Ukrainian government, providing billions of dollars in financial and military assistance, and encouraging other nations, in particular Nato allies, to follow suit. This assistance has been critical to Ukraine's ability to resist Russia's military onslaught. But in autumn 2023, the US pipeline of assistance slowed to a drip when a $95 billion supplemental spending bill, which includes $64 billion earmarked for Ukraine, got tied up in Congress over an ongoing dispute between Republicans and Democrats over immigration and border security reforms, which has come to define the political battlefield of the 2024 US presidential election. While most of the Congress — Republicans and Democrats alike — has expressed support for continuing aid to Ukraine, the imperative of doing so has not, yet, outweighed the importance of toeing the line on partisan domestic politics. This casts a shadow not only over Ukraine's prospects in its war with Russia, but over the future viability of Nato itself, as allies begin to question what Biden has called an "iron-clad" US commitment to European security.

Comment: Given John Bass's performance overseeing the Afghan departure, the "offramp" will likely be rocky and full of potholes. It's going to be a rough time for regular Ukrainians.
