Moscow has just submitted a formal letter warning the Western military alliance concerning Kaliningrad, an exclave of Russia between NATO members Lithuania and Poland.

The letter accused NATO of an "unprecedented escalation of the military-political situation around Russia's region of Kaliningrad accompanied by highly provocative public statements by NATO Allies' officials."

"This dangerous and reckless course entails high risk of the outbreak of a direct armed conflict with the possibility of Russian strikes against decision-making centers of the alliance's member states right from the outset of the conflict," the letter said.

NATO is incensed at this key line of Moscow's letter:

"Russia will be ready to use the entire arsenal of forces and capabilities at its disposal, including nuclear weapons, in order to defend its territory, should NATO countries undertake any attempt aimed at isolating the Kaliningrad region from the rest of the country."

Apparently this tense back-and-forth was initially triggered by a television show which recently aired in the UK this month.

Newsweek describes, "The statement follows a miniseries aired by British broadcaster Sky News last week, The Wargame, which traces a hypothetical Russian attack on the U.K. and how the country might respond—including by authorizing operations against the Baltic territory of Kaliningrad."

Ukraine’s own officials now say the war costs $155 billion a year — $175 billion in 2027. The budget covers about $100 billion. The rest is a hole of $70 billion, with only a fraction of the sources even identified. A nation of this size cannot bleed like this forever and still exist. They are the price of a war that is consuming people, cities, industry and the next generation while we are told to wait for better terms. Every year without a deal is not a stronger position. It is fewer people, less land, a weaker army and a smaller country left to save. The hole grows. The reconstruction bill already approaches $588 billion. The economy is barely standing. If we keep waiting for perfect terms, we will negotiate over ruins. Move toward a peace agreement while Ukraine still has people to protect.

Featured • Moscow Closes the Door: How Putin and Lavrov Hardened Russia’s Line on Ukraine in Ten Days, Larry C. Johnson, SONAR21, Sep 28, 2026

Taken together, the statements of the past ten days set out a harder Russian position:

• Talks resume only on Moscow’s timetable and on its judgment of its own interests, not as the promised follow-up to the elections.

• No ceasefire of any kind during negotiations, including the unconditional ceasefire backed by more than 50 countries.

• Ukraine’s requests for partial truces are treated as evidence that Russian pressure is working, not as openings.

• Europe is cast as the aggressor, excluded as a partner, and blamed for the loss of Ukraine’s territory.

• Military pressure rising on every axis: a de facto blockade of Ukraine’s ports, intensified strikes on Kyiv’s infrastructure, and assaults along the entire front.

The direction is clear. In mid-September, Moscow was talking about when negotiations would resume. By September 26, it was talking about whether it wanted them at all, and on what terms.

Europeans, it seems, have underpinned their ‘success story’ for war on Russia firstly on the notion of the imputed Kiev failure, and secondly, on the exaggerated reliance on financial sanctions. The former French Finance Minister Le Maire, in a moment of elation, declared “all-out economic and financial war against Russia”. He insisted that sanctions would suffocate and collapse the Russian economy – in practice Russia after 2007 switched to a national (self-sufficient) economic model and still prospers.

So who has trapped whom? The West’s imagined core premise that Russia was trapped into escalation from the moment the non-existent plan to seize Kiev failed has turned the situation back-to-front.

It was the West’s mistaken analysis that has trapped the West into an escalatory staircase of actions that risk inadvertently taking Europe to a war with Russia – a war that no European wants.

The White House is moving to use nearly all of the remaining $400 million in military aid Congress appropriated for Ukraine before the funds expire at the end of the fiscal year on September 30.

Reuters reports, citing sources, that the White House has already used $307 million of the $400 million Congress appropriated for 2026. The administration has plans for the remaining $93 million.

The aid is in the form of Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) funding. USAI allows the White House to buy weapons from American arms producers for Ukraine. USAI is different from the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which allows the President to send weapons directly from American stockpiles to other countries.

Moscow has said it is ready to settle the Ukraine conflict as long as the root causes are addressed and the realities on the ground are taken into account.

Russia’s demands include Ukraine abandoning its plans to join NATO and adopting a neutral status, accepting restrictions on its military, and formally recognizing Crimea and four other former Ukrainian regions as Russian territory. Crimea voted to join Russia shortly after the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev. The regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson held referendums in September 2022.

Kiev has consistently rejected Moscow’s conditions, insisting on joining NATO and restoring control over all territories that it claims. Zelensky has said, however, that he wants to meet with Putin in person to settle the conflict, even though he legally barred himself from talks with the Russian leader.

Moscow has cited Kiev’s aggressive posture and the hostile position of its European backers as major obstacles to a peace settlement. The Kremlin has nevertheless maintained that it is ready to welcome Zelensky to Moscow if he truly wishes to reach a deal, even though Russia considers him illegitimate, as his presidential term expired more than two years ago and he has not called a new election.

On Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia is ready to provide security guarantees to Zelensky if he travels to Moscow.

 • Here’s what Russia’s election results really mean, Dmitry Kamyshev, RT, Sep 21, 2026

The larger story, therefore, is how little Russian voting preferences have changed during five extraordinarily eventful years.

Since the previous Duma election, Russia has experienced the Ukraine conflict, unprecedented Western sanctions, sweeping economic changes, and a profound reorientation of its foreign relations. Such circumstances might reasonably have produced either a radicalization of political opinion or widespread political apathy, but instead, voters largely chose continuity. Thus, United Russia strengthened its position, but the familiar parliamentary opposition survived alongside it.

That may be the election’s real surprise, given amid unusually volatile conditions at home and abroad, Russians have largely preserved the existing balance of political forces, suggesting that while there has undoubtedly been consolidation around the flag, maintaining alternative voices within the established political system still matters to a significant part of the electorate.

Featured • Russia Voted Under Fire. Washington Is Loading the Tankers, Larry C. Johnson, SONAR21, Sep 20, 2026

The election was watched by international observers — independent-minded people, some of them frankly sympathetic to Gennady Zyuganov’s Communists, no friends of the ruling party. I spoke with several. Their verdict was the same: this was a free and fair election. I saw nothing to contradict it — no signs going up and being torn down, no one dragged away for campaigning.

Now, I know exactly what the Western press will wave in reply, so let me meet it head-on. Yes: the Supreme Court struck the federal list of Yabloko, the one small party that campaigned against the war, and Boris Nadezhdin was kept off the ballot and has since left the country. Those are the two names you will hear over and over as proof that the whole exercise was theater. It is not much of a case. Yabloko has polled below the five-percent threshold for the better part of two decades; the position it staked out — abandoning the four republics and the men fighting for them — is one almost no Russian holds. Excluding a marginal faction that stands where the West stands is not the same thing as crushing dissent, and it does not turn a three-day, ten-party election with 56.7 percent turnout into a fraud. The real spectrum of Russian politics does not run from pro-war to anti-war. It runs from those who support the special military operation to those who want it fought harder — and inside that spectrum the parties went at each other in the open, and the observers, including men who would sooner see a Communist in the Kremlin, judged the contest fair. On the evidence in front of me, the endless claim that Putin simply crushes all opposition is a fabrication.

Here is what the West consistently misreads. Russia’s parties argue fiercely about domestic policy — income inequality, taxes, education, health care, the ordinary business of any democracy. But on foreign policy they are united, something on the order of 95 percent behind the President and the special military operation. If the ruling bloc’s share slips, it will not be because Russians want the war to end. It will be because they want it prosecuted harder. That is the opposite of the war-weariness Western capitals keep predicting.

Now the only hope left for Zelensky is a newly announced Trump meeting for next week, wherein Zelensky will try to press for a ceasefire and more funds, while Trump will likely reprimand the Kiev shyster for destabilizing global fuel prices. In the end, it will come to naught, and things will resume their merry trends.

Naturally, rumors now foreshadow a massive Russian reprisal attack on Kiev in the next 72 or so hours. Zelensky will have his hands full explaining to his citizenry how the imminent destruction he has sown upon them was worth the temporary shut-down of a single Russian refinery.

 • A Most Severe Diesel Crunch Will Soon Hit Europe, Moon of Alabama, Sep 18, 2026

Following a[n] [diesel] export ban prices in the U.S. would sink while they increasing significantly elsewhere.

Europe would be screwed. Without crude from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States its refineries will soon run dry. The U.S., as one of the few current net producers, will soon stop or limit diesel exports to Europe. This while the EU has sanctioned itself out of imports from Russia. It is even urging Ukraine to destroy more Russian fuel supplies. It additionally has taken measures to hinder and limit Russian seaborne exports.

Diesel prices in Europe are already at record heights. Some fuel stations have breached the €3 per liter mark ($11,40/gl). Inflation caused by high fuel prices will soon be out of control. There will be protests and social unrest.

Europe could of course solve the problem by immediately lifting the sanctions against Russia and by pushing Ukraine to stop its U.S. directed campaign against Russian refineries.

That however would require European politicians with their people’s interests at heart.

It has been quite a while since any such people have been around …

Featured • Zelensky sanctions ex-press secretary turned fierce critic, RT, Sep 14, 2026

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has imposed sanctions on his former press secretary, Yulia Mendel, who has emerged as an outspoken critic of his policies and accused Kiev of turning against its own citizens.

Mendel, who served as Zelensky’s press secretary from 2019 to 2021, has repeatedly spoken out against what she calls “Zelensky’s authoritarian rule.” In an interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson last May, she made a series of allegations against her former boss, including corruption, rampant drug use, and the obstruction of efforts to end the conflict with Russia.

...

During the Carlson interview, Mendel claimed that Zelensky had demanded “Goebbels propaganda” from his communications team after his approval ratings began declining in 2019 or 2020, calling for “thousands of talking heads” to promote a positive image of his government.

Shortly afterward, the former press secretary was added to Ukraine’s state-linked Mirotvorets database for allegedly spreading “Russian propaganda narratives” and advocating Kiev’s “capitulation.” The website is widely believed to cooperate with Ukrainian security services in publishing the personal data of people it identifies as state enemies, including Western journalists and children as young as three. When blacklisted figures are murdered or die for any reason, the database marks them as “liquidated,” reinforcing its reputation among critics as a “kill list.”

Featured • Trump denials can't hide billions in US weapons sent to Ukraine, Jennifer Kavanagh, Responsible Statecraft, Sep 9, 2026

All told, then, U.S. taxpayers are still spending roughly $20 billion per year on Ukraine. Today, assistance to Ukraine comes primarily in the form of direct operational support, not weapons. But the shift in type of aid increases the risk of U.S. support to Ukraine to average Americans.

First, assisting Ukraine in striking energy targets inside of Russia has a perverse effect on the Trump administration’s efforts to keep gas prices low. As Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent acknowledged, Ukraine’s strikes inside Russia push global oil prices up, imposing higher costs of living on Americans.

Second, U.S. intelligence support deepens U.S. involvement in Ukraine’s war, making it an all-but-direct combatant. Russian assistance to Iran, both in terms of weapons and intelligence sharing, is a reaction to the comparable U.S. role in Ukraine, and it leaves U.S. servicemembers in the Middle East and elsewhere less safe. Growing U.S. participation in Ukraine also increases the risk that miscalculation leads to a direct U.S.-Russia confrontation, a nightmarish possibility given the degraded state of U.S. military readiness.

Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. He has instead deepened U.S. entanglement in ways that create real risks and new fiscal costs for the United States. American interests would be best served if the United States were to walk away entirely, but if Trump instead opts for the status quo, he should at least be honest about it.

U.S. to Provide Ukraine With Intelligence for Missile Strikes Deep Inside Russia (archived) – WSJ, Oct 1 2025.

The U.S. will provide Ukraine with intelligence for long-range missile strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure, American officials said, as the Trump administration weighs sending Kyiv powerful weapons that could put in range more targets within Russia.

President Trump recently signed off on allowing intelligence agencies and the Pentagon to aid Kyiv with the strikes. U.S. officials are asking North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies to provide similar support, these people said. The expanded intelligence-sharing with Kyiv is the latest sign that Trump is deepening support for Ukraine as his efforts to advance peace talks have stalled.

It is the first time, officials say, that the Trump administration will aid Ukrainian strikes with long-range missiles against energy targets deep inside Russian territory.

While the U.S. has long assisted Kyiv’s drone and missile attacks, the intelligence sharing means Ukraine will be better able to hit refineries, pipelines, power stations and other infrastructure far from its borders, with the goal of depriving the Kremlin of revenue and oil to sustain its invasion.

Featured • European leaders trying to ‘buy time’ for Kiev with ceasefire calls – Lavrov, RT, Sep 9, 2026

European leaders calling for a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict are seeking to preserve the government in Kiev in its current aggressive anti-Russian form, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said. Even politicians who acknowledge that Kiev cannot militarily retake the former Ukrainian regions that have joined Russia since 2014 and now advocate a truce are pursuing an agenda that threatens Russia and its citizens, the top diplomat said. Speaking in an interview on Tuesday, Lavrov named Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as examples.

The proposed ceasefire “is also just a way to buy time, as everyone knows,” Lavrov said, adding that Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky “makes no secret of that” as he seeks additional weapons supplies. According to the Russian minister, the goal of this ploy is to preserve and keep in power “the regime currently ruling in Kiev,” whose defining traits he described as “Nazism, aggressive Russophobia, violations of human rights, language rights and religious freedom.” As for Europe, it wants to preserve that openly Russophobic and aggressive neo-Nazi regime. It is the European plan. I don’t see how the Russian people can accept this outcome.

Moscow’s objections to freezing the conflict remain unchanged, as does its opposition to proposals to deploy troops from NATO member states in Ukraine following a potential peace deal, Lavrov said. “Any people in military uniforms and any military facilities will be legitimate [targets] for us, and no scenario under which Ukraine will acquire NATO membership in all but name is acceptable to us,” he stressed. Lavrov was interviewed in Moscow by Russian-American television host Dimitri Simes and visiting US political commentator Andrew Napolitano, better known as Judge Napolitano, after his former role on the New Jersey Superior Court.

Humanity has placed the fire of the stars in the hands of minds that still struggle to utter three simple words:

“I was wrong.”

We have learned to split the atom, guide missiles across continents and destroy cities in a flash of artificial sun. Yet we have not learned to master the pride, fear and self-deception within ourselves. Our power has grown faster than our wisdom. Our capacity to destroy has become immense while our capacity to admit error remains painfully small.

The world is at war, and the choices before us are no longer abstract. Governments and alliances are deciding whether to make peace, continue or escalate wars, send additional weapons or cross thresholds that could draw major powers into direct conflict. A decision made in a cabinet room can become an escalation on a battlefield; an escalation can become a wider war no one intended—and, in the nuclear age, a war from which there may be no return.

...Over all of it hangs the black sun of nuclear war.

Because previous escalations did not end in catastrophe, governments begin to mistake survival for safety. A catastrophe narrowly avoided becomes permission to court a greater one. Extraordinary risk-taking becomes routine.

Each member assumes that restraint is ultimately someone else’s responsibility. But an alliance is not a single mind. It is a chain of governments, weapons, warnings and commands through which miscalculation can travel faster than correction.

A gambler who plays Russian roulette five times and survives has not proved that the game is safe. He has proved only that he has been lucky.

Featured • Under Secretary of War Elbridge Colby Tells European Allies To Prepare for a ‘Protracted War’ in Ukraine, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com, Sep 8, 2026

US Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby has told the US’s European allies to prepare for a “protracted” war in Ukraine and to continue providing US-made weapons to Ukrainian forces.

Colby made the remarks in a virtual address to the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, a coalition of dozens of nations the Biden administration formed in 2022 to coordinate the flow of weapons into the Ukraine proxy war. The address came after President Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner traveled to Moscow and Kyiv in an apparent effort to restart peace talks.

On Tuesday morning President Trump and his Russian counterpart President Putin held a “positive” phone call regarding finding an end to the Ukraine war, the Kremlin side has stated. Russian president aide Yury Ushakov has been the first to provide a readout, with little revealed from the US side in the immediate aftermath. The phone call was “constructive and frank” and lasted exactly one hour, but remains “strictly confidential.”

Likely the White House will also be equally scant in what information it chooses to release, given the sensitivity of the timing, coming just off the weekend shuttle diplomacy by Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Their rare, direct meeting with Putin on Saturday lasted than three hours, after which they traveled to Ukraine to meet with Zelensky, in what was a much more chummy atmosphere, naturally.

Ushakov in his fresh comments described of that prior meeting, “Overall, the visit of the aforementioned American representatives was assessed positively.” He further said “European narratives about a Russian threat” were discussed in the call – an issue now “being used to justify support for Ukraine and increased European military spending.” The readout indicates, “Putin supported Trump’s commitment to building a constructive Russia–US partnership and emphasized that Russia has no hostile plans toward Europe.”

Perhaps the most important part of the Russian readout is seen in the following: “Trump said he wants a breakthrough on Ukraine during his presidency and stressed that ending the conflict could open the way to a major restoration of Russia–US relations.” The only additional information that the Kremlin aide provided was that Trump and Putin agreed that work through direct contact as well as diplomatic channels would “continue”.

The EU is effectively committing “harakiri” by abandoning Russian energy in an attempt to hurt Moscow, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said. Speaking on Monday to students at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), Russia’s primary college for diplomats, Lavrov argued that European leaders are making their own voters bear the cost of their policies toward Russia.

The EU has committed to phasing out Russian fossil fuels completely by 2027, having drastically reduced Russian oil and gas imports since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022. Energy costs have risen across much of the bloc, with the US-Israeli war on Iran adding further pressure. Germany, once considered the EU’s industrial powerhouse, has been particularly affected. Its economy contracted in both 2023 and 2024 – the first back-to-back annual decline in more than two decades – and is forecast to grow by just 0.5% this year.

“Europe is simply committing harakiri and proudly declaring that its people must suffer… for European values,” Lavrov said, referring to the Japanese ritual suicide also known as seppuku. “Apparently, by ‘European values’ they mean Nazism, burying Nazi criminals with honors, and banning the Russian language, Russian-language education, Russian culture and media, as well as the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church,” he added. Lavrov argued that the EU’s attempt to pressure Moscow has failed to deprive Russia of customers.

“There’s no panic here whatsoever. We’ve always had plenty of buyers,” he said, adding that Russian exporters have shifted toward “those who are more reliable.” “If Europe wants to pay $800-900 per thousand cubic meters for American liquefied natural gas, what can we do about it?” he asked. Russia has increasingly redirected its energy exports toward Asia amid Western sanctions.

Its seaborne crude shipments to China hit a record 1.86 million barrels per day in January, up 46% year-on-year. Russia has also remained India’s largest oil supplier, selling around 2.1 million bpd in August, or 45% of the country’s imports, according to maritime intelligence firm Kpler. Lavrov said the shift should not be viewed as a sudden “pivot to the East,” arguing that Russia has long cultivated economic ties in both directions.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who survived an assassination attempt by a pro-Ukraine activist, similarly described the EU as a “suicide ship” in April, accusing Brussels of “ideological blindness and incompetence.” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen acknowledged last month that the loss of cheap energy imports had dealt a major blow to the bloc’s economy. Lavrov argued that the policies demonstrate that European leaders “don’t think about the voters that brought them to power.”

Featured • Russia Slams Deployment of Long-Range US Missile Launcher to Norway, Kyle Anzalone, The Libertarian Institute, Sep 7, 2026

The US has moved a launcher into Norway capable of firing Tomahawk missiles. The deployment drew a strong rebuke from Moscow.

“A US Air Force C-17A Globemaster III delivers a US Navy Containerized Launching System (CLS) to Trondheim, Norway, Aug. 27, 2026, to participate in Operation Atlantic City 26,” a Department of War statement published on Tuesday explained.

The CLS is a containerized derivative of the Mk-41 vertical launch system and is capable of firing Tomahawk cruise missiles.

On Monday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova slammed the CLS deployment. “We regard the deployment in Europe of US systems capable of launching intermediate- and shorter-range missiles as yet another step in the never-ending series of highly destabilizing actions by NATO countries,” she said. “Thus, these missile systems can be used in aggressive actions by NATO countries against our country to solve strategic problems.”

Zakharova went on to warn that the CLS deployment would interfere with any US and Russian talks on new nuclear weapons agreements and would be factored into future deterrence planning in Moscow. “Steps such as the deployment in Europe of US ground-based intermediate- and shorter-range missile systems that threaten Russia will, to put it mildly, ‘zero out’ the prerequisites for constructive talks with the US on strategic issues,” she added.

Since the end of the Cold War, Washington has withdrawn from several major arms control agreements with Moscow . President George W Bush withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, while President Donald Trump voided the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty and the Open Skies pact.

Additionally, New START expired in February after Trump declined Russia’s offer to continue observing the treaty’s limits for another year. Trump has called for replacing New START with a new agreement that includes China.

The issues between Russia and Norway are not limited to the CLS deployment. Norway seized a Russian ship in the Arctic after a court ruled that it should be used to compensate Ukraine.

The ship was seized while docked in Barentsburg on Norway’s Svalbard archipelago, where Russia maintains a longstanding presence centered around a state-owned coal mining operation. (emphasis added)

More tit-for-tat between Russia and Germany amid a deepening diplomatic freeze related to the Ukraine war: the Kremlin announced on Monday that it is closing Germany's consulate in St. Petersburg, with operations ordered to by suspended by September 18.

"It was the German authorities who, once again, provoked a new round of escalation in bilateral relations," the Foreign Ministry stated, charging that Berlin "bears full and complete responsibility" for the consequences.

A prominent German culture center which has long operated on Russian territory, the Goethe-Institut, is also getting the boot across all branches.

All of this is a mirror image of the German government's earlier move to shutter the Russian consulate in Bonn and Russia's cultural center in Berlin, also as the EU blamed Russia as a "state sponsor of terrorism".

...The strongest words out of Moscow have come from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov this weekend. While the US delegation of Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were in Russia for a 3-hour meeting with President Putin, he said that a "real war" between Russia and the West is emerging.

He asserted to a Russian state TV reporter: "This is, by and large, the start of a real war. They expelled the consulate general from Bonn. They’re closing the Russian House in Berlin. I remember that before the start of the Second World War... They want war again."

In an interview published on Tuesday, Lavrov accused European NATO members of seeking to prevent Trump from returning to the ideas he had discussed with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska last year. He also pointed to a phone call between the two leaders on July 4 this year.

“Europe understands that if the Americans suddenly return to their original proposals... as was the case in Anchorage, Europe was simply scared to death,” Lavrov said. According to him, European leaders “immediately rushed” to coax Trump into abandoning his own initiatives.

Lavrov recalled French President Emmanuel Macron’s remarks at a NATO summit in June, at which the French leader had effectively boasted that the Anchorage initiative had been.

“If Western diplomacy comes down to restraining countries that put forward reasonable, balanced, compromise initiatives, then so be it,” Lavrov said. Moscow would then pursue its objectives “not at the negotiating table,” which he said Russia would prefer, “but on the battlefield.”

"In Los Alamos, Scott Ritter, especially, provided the bucket of ice water we need to wake up to the reality of the terrible war in Ukraine: the long U.S. deceptions that led to it and the reality-based acceptance needed to end it.

"We Americans need to think for just for a minute about other peoples' lives and deaths for once -- as well as about the enormous treasure being spent to, in effect, kill Ukrainians, money which is so badly needed here at home.

"The ridiculous propaganda trope that the U.S. is somehow "helping Ukraine" by sending gobs of money and weapons to Ukraine needs to be entirely exploded. We have just about destroyed Ukraine for the sake of a grotesque geopolitical gambit that a child could see would fail, the immorality of which towers to the sky. To U.S. foreign policy elites, a Ukrainian life has been worth nothing, zero. Ukraine has lost about 10 times as many soldiers as the U.S. lost in Vietnam. It's far more horrible than most people realize.

"Remember, this madness began under Obama, with Hillary Clinton and Victoria Nuland on-point for the Russophobic Blob. But it was Biden who, in Ukraine as well as in Palestine, filled the Oval Office with innocent blood.

"As a result of the string of incredibly irresponsible actions taken by the Biden administration, this war is going to end largely on Russia's terms, full stop. If Trump does not accept most or all of those terms, ignoring the shrill outcry that will surely and instantly come, Ukraine will lose even more people and land. Ukraine would then be much worse off, and the specter of nuclear war would remain and grow.

"If Trump does not end this war now, on what will be Russia's terms, it will become "his" war -- and will be much harder to end, and much more dangerous.

"Trump has the opportunity to be a real peacemaker. Ending this war and creating an architecture of lasting mutual security needs all our support. It's the first step toward nuclear arms control. People interested in nuclear disarmament need to step up to the plate.

"In that new architecture of mutual security there will be no place for NATO, as will hopefully be seen by more and more people. NATO is very much an aggressive nuclear alliance that prevents peace, while helping control and subjugate Europe to U.S. wishes. To prosper in Europe, get rid of it."

Featured • US must drop ‘hegemon’ mindset for Ukraine peace – Jeffrey Sachs, RT, Sep 7, 2026

“The US still has a grandiose idea that it is the world’s hegemon and the sole superpower, and it is not. Clearly, we are in a multi-polar world,” Sachs told RT in an exclusive interview on Sunday.

Sachs argued that a peace settlement requires taking Russia’s security interests into account and abandoning the expansionist foreign policy the US has pursued for more than 30 years.

“It seems to be psychologically very difficult” for Washington to openly accept that “basic reality,” he argued, saying this is why it resorts to “backroom negotiations” and secrecy that ultimately produce no tangible results.

Sachs also described the situation in Ukraine as an “endgame situation,” arguing that Kiev is in a desperate position militarily, socially, and politically.

Watch the exclusive interview with economist Jeffrey Sachs in full below....

The shootout in Kiev was thus much more than a mafia discussion about business.

It was part of a fight over who will control Ukraine’s foreign policy. The MI6 and the CIA have each their own preferences.

But what is really interesting is that Moscow, it seems, has taken an active position in this:

Yaroslav Trofimov @yarotrof – 13:30 UTC · Sep 4, 2026

A Russian jet-drone (basically a cruise missile) just flew into the office of the head of Ukraine’s intelligence service SBU, Poklad, in the heart of Kyiv. He wasn’t killed but Zelensky has ordered a mirror retaliation whenever possible. …

The Russian (or GRU?) attack on Zelenski’s henchman Poklad, who tries to eliminated Budanov, comes as the White House, after a long pause, is reviving negotiations over Ukraine:

– US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner plan to travel to Kiev and Moscow soon, a source told TASS.

– In early September, a source told the agency that Witkoff and Kushner were intensifying their mediation efforts on Ukraine.

– Telephone contacts with the Ukrainian side have already been held, according to the source.

– Vladimir Zelensky said the day before that tentative dates for Witkoff and Kushner’s visit to Kiev had already been set.

– The visit could take place in the near future, he noted.

Witkoff and Kushner should interpret the ‘Russian’ drone attack against the SBU headquarter as a welcoming gesture.

The one American instrument against which there would be little defence is a complete cessation of military support, but Trump is unlikely to take that step, even if he were personally inclined to do so because facilitating an outright Russian victory isn’t his objective. He may care less than his predecessor about the precise shape of the eventual settlement, but a complete Ukrainian defeat would be another matter. Nor would abandoning Ukraine enjoy much support across the American political establishment, where there is virtually no constituency for a fundamental rapprochement with Russia.

The White House therefore doesn’t envisage the radical change in American policy that would be necessary to transform the conflict, but without one, events tend to return to their previous course as a prolonged and extremely fierce confrontation whose duration nobody can confidently predict.

In such a confrontation, those fighting the war and bearing its risks ultimately matter more than mediators or outside sponsors. None of this means Witkoff and Kushner’s shuttle diplomacy is pointless, given communication between adversaries is indispensable, and the present infrastructure for official dialogue remains inadequate. Also, informal channels can help restore understanding where formal diplomacy has broken down, but informal diplomacy has limits.

Friends and business associates may establish contacts and discover areas in which compromise is conceivable, but they don’t themselves make peace. The shuttle diplomacy of a presidential son-in-law and a trusted business partner may eventually serve as a catalyst for serious negotiations, however, if that moment comes, the settlement will have to be negotiated by officials and institutions possessing state legitimacy and the power to implement what they sign. Personal connections can open the door, but they can’t, by themselves, end a war. [emphasis added]

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a three-day hiatus in strikes on Kiev ahead of talks with senior US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who arrived in Moscow earlier on Saturday.

The negotiations are expected to focus on resolving the Ukraine conflict. Witkoff and Kushner are slated to visit Kiev after their meetings in Moscow, which include talks with Putin.

He argued that it’s not plotting to test NATO’s resolve, its resilience to immense hardships “should never be underestimated”, suggested that the conflict will end without Ukraine recovering its lost territories, praised the CIA chief for visiting Russia, and called for “someone in Europe” to follow suit.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb bucked the trend of fearmongering about Russia in his interview with Bild. Instead of claiming that it’s plotting to test NATO’s resolve like American media reported was the reason why the CIA chief recently paid an unannounced visit to Moscow, he described such talk as part of Russia’s “information warfare” against Europe. Stubb insisted that his intelligence doesn’t indicate any such plans and argued that Russia wouldn’t attack the world’s most powerful military bloc anyhow.

He also pointed to the unlikelihood of Russia “suddenly mobilizing” forces for a two-front conflict with Ukraine and NATO even though he still believes that a mobilization directed towards Ukraine will occur this fall despite United Russia Chairman Dmitry Medvedev recently denying that there’s any need to. Another of the surprisingly solid points that Stubb made about Russia had to do with its resilience to immense hardships and warned that this “should never be underestimated” by its foes.

He also suggested that Ukraine won’t recover its lost territories upon describing victory for it as simply “surviving, remaining independent, and remaining a sovereign state” but still urged its allies to continue supporting it for their unspecified sake of their own security. Wrapping everything up, Stubb praised the CIA chief’s recent unannounced visit to Moscow for expanding bilateral dialogue in “different formats”, which led to his clarion call for “someone in Europe” to “resume dialogue with Russia” too.

...At the same time, Putin might calculate that it’s better for dialogue to occur with Stubb if he initiates it on behalf of Finland, the Intermarium, or the EU as a whole than to rebuff him in that scenario, so the possibility of him entering into some sort of talks with Russia in the future can’t confidently be ruled out. While all EU leaders apart from Slovakia’s Robert Fico are adversarial to Russia, Stubb is the most pragmatic among them, so he might ultimately be tasked with this role or play it on his own initiative.

These factors converge to create a formidable barrier to peace. Zelensky must continue the war to avoid being discarded by Western powers or eliminated by nationalist factions within Ukraine. The Ukrainian political elite must support him to protect their own power and survival. Western intelligence agencies and military forces are using the conflict as a training ground and testing laboratory for future confrontations with Russia, while simultaneously exposing the limitations of their own industrial base. International mercenaries are gaining skills that will destabilize regions far beyond Eastern Europe. Meanwhile, Russia tolerates the current leadership because their actions are effectively dismantling the Ukrainian state from within.

In this grim equilibrium, the war is no longer just a military contest; it is a self-sustaining political, economic, and military ecosystem with powerful stakeholders on all sides who benefit from its continuation. Peace would threaten the survival of political leaders, eliminate valuable training opportunities for Western forces, and expose the strategic weaknesses of the NATO alliance. Until these underlying structural incentives shift, the war in Ukraine will continue. Peace remains a distant illusion, overshadowed by the immediate, overriding imperatives of political survival, military preparation, and industrial profit.

Now there are reports that the Russian Alabuga factory which produces the Geran drone has seen such massive and unprecedented expansion that it will soon be able to produce a whopping 11,000 Gerans per month, up from a current estimate of ~5,000 per month.

For now, all that remains for Ukraine’s future is to beg more money from Europe for this coming winter, which will see unprecedented Russian strikes. Recall that Putin had just announced a new such campaign against energy infrastructure which has yet to kick off.

Soon we will see just how much more pain Ukraine can take.

Featured • Dark Turn: Zelensky Announces Major Threats Against Russian Airports and Civilian “Skies”, Simplicius, Sep 1, 2026

This is now the last remaining register of the war: to transition it from a purely Ukrainian proxy fight, to one with direct European involvement.

Russia is unlikely to take the bait because it has proven the ability to counter everything the West can cook up, despite it often being after major damage is done. But that damage is reparable, and Putin will likely bank on the knowledge that Russia can recover from any nasty surprises while plying its disciplined campaign against its Ukrainian foe.

That being said, there are always unforeseen wildcards and black swan events that are possible: Ukraine could hit a nuclear plant, the Kremlin itself, or do some other exceedingly nasty attack which could force Putin’s hand. But recall, Russia has already suffered the Crocus terrorist attacks, which killed nearly 200 civilians and had the clear finger print of Ukrainian and Western intelligence. It would be hard to imagine an attack worse than that one which would force Putin’s hand in some incalculable way.

But you never know.

All we can say is that as Ukraine faces its most desperate hour, expect more nasty “Pandora’s box” surprises to be unleashed on Russia.

Featured • Scott Ritter: The CIA never comes to Russia in peace, RT, Sep 1, 2026

In 1992 the CIA actively recruited me for an analytical position within the predecessor to SOVA, the Slavic and Eurasian Office. I was brought in for a high-level interview, after which I was informed that the CIA would be passing on my application. When I asked why, I was told that I was too married to old school thinking about Russia – in short, I was a ‘Sovietologist’.

The CIA was looking for people who could imagine Russia ‘differently’. What this meant was divorcing oneself from the mindset that Russia (i.e., the Soviet Union) was a peer-level opponent worthy of respect (my view), and instead adopting a stance that Russia was a defeated foe that needed to be kept down by any means necessary.

In the 1990s, the CIA’s task was to use Boris Yeltsin as an agent of influence to weaken Russia and facilitate foreign control over its resources. The CIA actively infiltrated every aspect of the Russian economy and used ‘soft power’ resources funded by the likes of the National Endowment for Democracy and overseen by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to hijack Russian democratic institutions and Russian social life, especially through media-related activities.

The CIA also was very active in working to break Russia up into more manageable fiefdoms, each ruled over by a CIA-controlled lackey. The Russian-Chechen conflict was a primary example of this activity.

When Boris Yeltsin stepped aside in favor of Vladimir Putin as Russia’s president on New Year’s Eve 1999, the CIA immediately made it its task to undermine Putin and replace him with someone from the Yeltsin camp willing and able to do the CIA’s bidding.

Putin’s resistance and resilience as a Russian leader operating independent of CIA control helped shape a new generation of Russophobes in the United States. The first generation were the ‘new Russian’ thinkers that replaced the old school ‘Sovietologists’ at the end of the Cold War. To them, Russia was a playground for which to launch experiments on economic and political domination with absolutely zero regard to the price being paid by the people of Russia.

This generation of Russophobes simply detested Russia and the Russian people, failing to attribute any normative human value to their lives. Millions of Russians lost their lives as a result, and tens of millions of others suffered greatly.
