It's official - "Security guarantees will have to underpin any peace deal where Russia retains control of Ukrainian land."

What is envisaged is tacit acceptance that [return] of lands should be regained through diplomatic means in the future...

For example, West Germany’s strategy was to make clear its borders were provisional. It had to tolerate division indefinitely but not accept it, and renounce the use of force to retake East Germany.

The key difference though is the USSR never viewed East Germany as its historic land with language & cultural ties... is it totally bonkers to expect the return of said lands based on diplomacy?

The US fears that offering a mutual defence guarantee under Nato treaty’s Article 5 before the war is over would simply draw in the US and its allies in.

Literally the point of the Treaty... Evidently the Ukraine is stuck between a rock and a hard place, with neither side offering concessions.

IMF urges El Salvador to limit the scope of Bitcoin law. 🇸🇻

IMF admits that a key reason why it’s withholding funds from El Salvador is that it doesn’t like Bitcoin and the fact that the government has added it to its national treasury, a currency which has no issuing authority (allegedly meaning nobody controls the supply, unlike the IMF.)

Earlier, the government of El Salvador gave everyone a bit of crypto to encourage them to open crypto wallets & utilize crypto as legal tender.

What’s happening now in Lebanon is what’s been happening in Gaza for a year says Marwa Osman but this won’t stop the morale of the resistance. After the Zionist entity eliminated Nasrallah, they created an icon-to their own detriment.

YouTube deleted my channel—erasing 8 years of work and 63,000 subscribers. But I'm not the only one, as YouTube has been on a purge in recent months, targeting various journalists and analysts, and claiming they violated the platform's "hate speech" policy.

This crackdown comes as the Biden Admin has rolled out its strictest sanctions yet against RT, aiming to end all Russian funding for media in the U.S.

So, what does all of this mean for the future of journalists who challenge the establishment narrative on U.S. foreign policy?

Thank you all so much for all of your support!

Speaking of Youtube, it had let me know back in 2018 that we could never be friends - having never received even a "community guidelines" strike.

Despite me doing literally nothing on it for years & algorithms hiding what they can - older videos pertaining to Russian Foreign Policy & Putin's speeches still pull in hundreds of hours of views monthly (from previously, hundreds of thousands daily :/)

To me, this shows that a lot of people are dedicated enough to still research & still find truthful content, no matter how hard it is being obscured.

And they refused my 100k milestone plaque! I'm still mad about that. 😂

All historic videos are backed up to Rumble - which doesn't work in Russia. 😂 The media/politics landscape of 2024 is quite somethin'.

"Putin": We want social media companies to take responsibility for the manner in which they disseminate, promote & remove content.

We need to contain the immense power of these big [social media] companies. Because we want the values that we so cherish offline, to be respected online.

We must nurture our democracy everyday and defend our institutions against the corrosive power of hate speech and disinformation, fake news & incitement to violence.

Therefore, we must censor it?

That's obviously head of EU gynecology Von der Leyen speaking, but have you ever flipped the script? When Russia asked Telegram to cooperate during the US coup in the Ukrainian Maidan in 2014 - that was a no no.
