2025/06/07

I recommend this 10-minute video to the Community, because it focused on the issue of arms control treaties and how the chances of their renewal have been deeply compromised by American participation in the planning for Ukraine’s drone attack a week ago on Russian nuclear triad bombers parked on the tarmac of several air bases. … Continue reading NewsX (India): Russian Official Warns US Golden Dome Space Weapon Escalates Tensions →

This was a very good, well-rounded discussion of the telephone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, beginning with why it took so long after the Ukrainian drone attack on Russian air bases for the American President to place this call.

Today’s discussion with Professor Glenn Diesen was far-reaching and no doubt viewers will find it especially rewarding.

Today’s chat examines the very provocative plans of German Chancellor Merz to supply the Taurus missile to Ukraine.

On 15 February 2022, at his joint news conference with Vladimir Putin which concluded his visit to Moscow, former German chancellor Olaf Scholz called ‘risible’ the Russian leader’s denunciation of the Kiev regime as neo-Nazi run.
