This special review of the Russian documentary "Mr. Nobody Against Putin" should be read by everyone.

"Putin did not turn the people into a herd; the herd chose him and made him this kind of ruler. Without the consent of millions, none of this would have happened." (A. Makarevich)

If you're wondering why so many people are falling for the Islamist propaganda,you need to consider who's spreading it and why? VIORY is russian state media in disguise.The focus on Palestine/Iran is intended to deflect attention from the ongoing Russian genocide.

These two examples illustrate a worrying trend of support for authoritarianism within the European left-wing movement. Pawel Wargan is a member of the Coordinating Collective of Yannis Varoufakis's DIEM25 movement. Ulrike Eifler sits on the executive committee of the German left-wing party Die Linke

Kurt Volker explains how the US has complained about Saudi Arabia signing defence contracts with Ukraine. While Iran and Russia are using the guerrilla warfare tactic of launching low-cost drones indiscriminately, Ukraine has developed an effective countermeasure that is in high demand right now.

What is wrong with the Germans? After Rheinmetall CEO Papperger likened Ukrainian innovation to housewives playing with Lego in their kitchens; now security expert Carlo Masala tries to compare Ukraine's defence of a 2,450-kilometre front line to 'guerrilla warfare', drawing comparisons with Iran👇

The internet blackout imposed by Iran’s regime has now lasted 960 hours, or 41 days, making it the longest in any country's history. This blackout means a total information blackout. It intentionally isolates the population, putting them at the mercy of their Islamist oppressors.

While it is well known that European neo-Nazi parties openly support collusion with the russian aggressor, it is still shocking that the European left wing is not only following in their footsteps, but also increasingly inciting hatred of Jews.

They must turn back before it is too late!

Every US citizen should read these transcripts of conversations between the russian and Hungarian foreign ministers, as they reveal the extent to which the U.S. government has betrayed Ukraine and its European partners by colluding with the russian aggressors (link)👇

In case anyone missed 'palestine activist' Yannis Varoufakis's recent visit to Moscow, where he blamed Europe for the russian invasion and claiming that 'Europe is committing a crime against logic in its relations with russia', here is a clip straight from the Russian state propaganda network.

"The “green corridor” narrative follows a pattern well-documented in Russian information operations: take a real, verifiable event, strip it of context, and insert an agent with intent. A drone wandering off its original course becomes proof of NATO coordination."

"Russia has a way of turning global anti-Western sentiment into a tool for its own agenda. Even with its past and ongoing imperialist policies, Russia often presents itself as the champion of the Global South [...] supposedly fighting against imperialism — which,in practice,means opposing the West"

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) prohibits coastal states from charging tolls for passing through straits.
If we permit Iran/US to collect tolls for passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the Europeans should start collecting tolls from the russia's shadow fleet vessels

When you criticise Mehdi Hasan for attacking President Zelenskyy and falsely equating the war in Iran with the russian invasion of Ukraine,you can be sure that accounts featuring russian and Chinese flags will appear,relativising the Holocaust and spreading hatred against Israel. This is systematic.

Firstly, the world should not forget that the majority of the Iranian people were hoping that the Israel and US coalition would fight until regime change became inevitable.
Secondly, the Islamist regime will use the 'negotiations' with the US in the same way that the russians did — to fool the US.

Just like Mehdi Hasan, Yannis Varoufakis is anything but a left-winger. Rather,he is the representative of an imperial subject, as evidenced by his recent visit to Moscow, where he danced self-enamouredly at the T-Bank investors' conference. His follow-up text about his russia-stunt proves my point👇

"We welcome the agreement between President Trump and the Iranian regime to unblock the Hormuz strait and cease fire, as well as Pakistan’s mediation efforts. American decisiveness works. We believe it is time for sufficient decisiveness to force Moscow to cease fire and end its war against Ukraine"

Mehdi Hasan's attack on President Zelenskyy deserves far more attention as it forms part of a russo-Iranian information warfare campaign against the West: false equivalences are used to turn international law into a weapon deployed against its architects and in favour of those who seek to destroy it

There are already signs that the Islamic regime will exploit the ceasefire negotiations by copying the strategy of their russian allies, deceiving the US by rearming with the help of russia and China and salvaging their nuclear weapons programme.
