    "When the trickle of foreign fighters into Ukraine increased to a deluge last year, US Customs and Border Patrol warned in a memo that 'Ukrainian nationalist groups including the Azo[v] Movement are actively recruiting racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist-white supremacists to join various neo-Nazi volunteer battalions.'"
    gm: This is a serious problem -- the people, their ideology (materially and politically supported by the US and other Western states), and the networks and institutional ties that will continue for some of them after they return. These ties can also provide access to special weapons. Basically we are training and supplying neo-nazis in theater and then bringing them home, possibly with honors, their relationships with highly-armed and motivated nazi Ukrainian formations intact. There will be training camps established here in the US, where these veterans and others of their ilk pass on skills and affirm shared ideology. You can count on it.

 • EU countries sinking in debt – Bloomberg, RT, Apr 26, 2023
    — "Countries in Eastern Europe have borrowed some $32 billion so far this year, three times more than during the same period a year ago, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. Poland has tapped overseas markets for nearly $9 billion, putting it second among emerging-market economies in terms of overseas borrowing, trailing only Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Romania and Hungary, which have borrowed a respective $6 billion and $5 billion, are the fourth and fifth largest emerging-market borrowers.
     "This marks the first time in a dozen years that three Eastern European countries are among the top five overseas emerging-market borrowers. The surge in borrowing is attributable to an increasing need to dole out subsidies due to the still-raging energy crisis, as well as soaring spending related to the military conflict in Ukraine, according to Bloomberg. Eastern European countries have had to build up their military capabilities and help refugees from the neighboring state. Meanwhile, hawkish policies pursued by key central banks have made it much more expensive to borrow in bond markets, even for highly rated nations. Poland is paying 5.5% in annual interest on a new 30-year bond, significantly above the less than 4% the same bond would have sold for back in 2021.
     "Rising interest rates are projected to add to the suddenly swelling budget deficits across Eastern Europe, inevitably putting more pressure on finances in the region. According to analyst estimates on Bloomberg, Eastern Europe’s budget deficit will surge to 4.3% of the region’s gross domestic product in 2023, up from the 1.3% recorded two years ago. The conflict in Ukraine “hits fiscal deficits from both sides,” Daniel Wood, a fixed income portfolio manager at William Blair International, told Bloomberg. “It lowers growth, which reduces revenue collection for the government, and on the expenditure side it has been necessary for governments to help those that have been hit hard by the cost of living."

 • Western Media’s Peculiar Incuriosity About Nord Stream, Consortium News, Apr 26, 2023
    "The truth is that the Western press has zero interest in determining who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines because, just like Western diplomats and politicians, media corporations don’t want to know the truth if it cannot be weaponized against an official enemy state.
    "The Western media are not there to help the public monitor the centers of power, keep our governments honest and transparent, or bring to book those who commit state crimes. They are there to keep us ignorant and willing accomplices when such crimes are seen as advancing on the global stage the interests of Western elites – including the very transnational corporations that run our media."

 • BREAKDOWN: What is known about the status of Ukraine’s much-hyped ‘counteroffensive’ against Russia?, RT, Apr 25, 2023
    "What difficulties does the AFU face? The conceptual problem of the offensive is the lack of surprise. AFU units are waiting in all directions – from Artemovsk to Kherson, so it is extremely difficult to surprise Russian forces in such a situation. Moreover, the movements of the Ukrainian army are well monitored, and it is almost impossible to accumulate a group of 20,000-150,000 troops unnoticed in such conditions. If they abandon massing their soldiers, and spread the forces across the front, all the advantages of large numbers are lost. An additional difficulty is time. Delaying an offensive means not only guaranteeing the loss of Artemovsk/Bakhmut, which is being cleared at the rate of two or three blocks every 24 hours, but also disrupting the plans of foreign partners and nullifying all the financial and military aid provided so far. Moreover, every day that the AFU’s offensive is delayed is an extra day for the Russian army to prepare and reinforce."
    Although Russia has more equipment and men, it faces some of the same difficulties, namely the inability to secretly amass forces and the vulnerability of any such massing.

    It is a political and legal imperative to investigate and impeach Biden, Blinken, and Sullivan for their most serious crimes. What began as influence peddling and electoral corruption ended up putting incompetent and corrupt individuals in government, who then went on to provoke a proxy war against a nuclear-armed state and blow up the undersea pipelines carrying a significant portion of Europe's natural gas supply.

    Kennedy couches the war issue in a broader discussion of national priorities and "the corrupt merger of state and corporate power, which is turning our country into a corporate kleptocracy." See also https://www.kennedy24.com/peace.

The U.S. and Russia are the only countries which have been able to develop, build and maintain such systems. Certainly, close coordination and cooperation between Russia and China, two nuclear-armed powers, will profoundly contribute to world peace in the present circumstances by containing and deterring U.S. hegemony."

Opposition to such a confrontation is virtually absent at the elite level. Both parties of capital compete with each other over which can be more Sinophobic. The Democrats, in particular, used to have dissenting voices, but now have embraced neo-conservatism. They exhibit an imperialist unity that is the envy of the Tea Party Republicans.

    — An excellent overview linking information from multiple sources.

    — "In what amounts to a second leak that the corporate media have studiously ignored, US intelligence sources have told veteran investigative reporter Seymour Hersh that they are asking the same questions, and they describe a "total breakdown" between the White House and the US intelligence community. Hersh’s sources describe a pattern that echoes the use of fabricated and unvetted intelligence to justify US aggression against Iraq in 2003, in which Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Sullivan are by-passing regular intelligence analysis and procedures and running the Ukraine War as their own private fiefdom. They reportedly smear all criticism of President Zelensky as "pro-Putin," and leave U.S. intelligence agencies out in the cold trying to understand a policy that makes no sense to them."

   — Obviously, the man is unfit to serve as president seven ways to Sunday.

Impeachment over Nordstream would badly wound the neoconservative cause and the Imperium that expresses and shelters it.

   — Fred Kaplan, formerly a sane writer, is among the many who has lost his mind. I am not using a figure of speech. Ignoring reality is called denial and is characteristic of garden-variety neurosis; constructing an alternative reality is called delusion and is characteristic of a more psychotic style. When a society becomes comfortable with, and approving of, overt cries for murder a line has been crossed. We are now in a condition of mass psychosis.

 • Endangering Washington's Divine Right to Deceive, James Bovard, Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, Apr 18, 2023
   — "According to local legends, there was a bygone era when Washington journalists fought zealously to expose government cover-ups. ...The Washington press corps showed vastly more enthusiasm for tracking down the leaker than for discovering who bombed the Nord Stream pipeline. At a Pentagon press conference, journalists showed far more indignation about the breach of federal secrecy than about the lies that the documents exposed."
   — Like arms control NGOs and academics, the Washington press corps and the MSM who follow them across the country function more as parts of the federal government, lending a patina of legitimacy to what increasingly functions as a totalitarian state, than as any kind of independent "fourth estate."

   "Although the cognitive élite contends that they are tolerant, inclusive, and pluralistic, they will not accept the moral legitimacy of their opponents. That is why in the U.S. – where the Cultural War is most developed – the language deployed by its foreign policy practitioners is so intemperate and inflammatory towards non-compliant states. The point here is that, as Professor Frank Furedi has emphasised, the contemporary ‘timbre’ is one no longer merely adversarial, but unremittingly hegemonic. It is not a ‘turn’. It is a rupture: The determination to displace other sets of values by a western inspired ‘Rules-Based Order’. Being a ‘liberal’ (in this strictly narrow sense) isn’t something you ‘do’; it is what you ‘are’. You think ‘right thoughts’ and utter ‘right speak’. Persuasion and compromise reflect only moral weakness in this vision...No compromise is allowed. To speak thus, to inhabit the western moral high ground creating ‘villains’, clearly is more important than coming to terms with reality....Thus, discontent at the welling string of western foreign policy flops grows. Crises multiply, both in number and across different societal dimensions."
