Which crime syndicate murdered Darya Dugina? (A look into the snake pit. Nasty. The real war is between Russia and NATO [read the US]. Both Russia know this and know that the adversary also knows it.)

Consortium News
SCOTT RITTER: Getting it Wrong on Ukraine ("Newsweek’s William Arkin is a prisoner to his sources, a problem that pervades Western reporting on the conflict in Ukraine." Information war.)

Scott Ritter, former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, serving in the Soviet Union as an inspector implementing the INF Treaty, on General Schwarzkopf’s staff during the Gulf War, and from 1991-1998 as a UN weapons inspector

“US war-gamed with Ukraine ahead of counteroffensive and encouraged more limited mission” (let's see how it turns out. So far it appears to be awful for the AFU.)

“US: Russian Military Facing ‘Severe Manpower Shortages'” (Newsmax. US disinformation out of the standard playbook to counter US failure to meet recruiting goals. Russia is increasing the size of its military by creating new billets, which is prudent given the circumstances of potential direct conflict with NATO. The US is failing to fill existing billets rather than increase the size of its force.)

Asia Times
US-China shadow war descends on Taiwan (The US leadership either did not think the Ukraine situation through or didn't care about the consequences. The same is true with Taiwan, only Taiwan would have a much greater effect on the global economy than Ukraine. The Western leadership seems to think that it's worth the burning candle.)

One World
The Political Fantasy To “Decolonize [Balkanize] Russia” Is Doomed To Fail Due To Its People’s Patriotism (The West still thinks it is 1990 or even 1945. Times have changed. Moreover, the UUS should look to its own political condition. If Russia were this divisive, the US elite would be overjoyed. Just who is coming apart at the seams? It is not Russia, nor is Putin unpopular, with an 80+% approval rating.)

India Punchline
100 years of Russian gas for India (much more than the title indicates, a lot about the development of Central Asia as a conduit for India. Energy flow is shifting away from Europe to the East and China and India are the largest beneficiaries.)
