As Kyiv and other parts of Ukraine are bombed again tonight by ordinary Russians, it serves as a tragic reminder that the free world is repeating the mistake it made in 1940 when it failed to protect the UK from Nazi bombardment. Stopping the Russians now would avert a larger war in Europe.

The free world should take note that the Russian "Führer" has once again revealed his insatiable lust for more conquest. In a recent interview, he mentioned that "Donbas and Novorossya" will be "liberated." Below is a map of the imperialistic concept of […]

The fact that the Russians are intensifying their information warfare campaign to prevent the release of their frozen assets at Euroclear speaks to their enormous fear of losing access to the funds they need to continue their costly war of conquest in Ukraine.

Russia has been a colonial empire for most of its history writes historian Franziska Davies. Therefore, Russia will not be bound by any agreements or treaties as long as it remains an empire, especially since the Ukrainian army is currently resisting Russia’s attempt at colonial conquest by […]

It defies belief how countries that were themselves brutally colonized for centuries could stoop so low as to actively side with a brutal, imperialist empire that is waging a genocidal war of aggression.

The fact that a Kremlin operative feels comfortable insulting and belittling the head of Europe's most powerful nation speaks volumes about how closely the Russians think they are allied with the Trump clan. It's unfortunate that Merz reneged on his election promise to deliver 'Taurus' to Ukraine

The contrast speaks for itself. Clean-shaven and beaming, Witkoff eagerly licked the Russian boot, praising Moscow as a "magnificent city" during his meeting with the Russians. This is in stark contrast to his earlier meeting with the Ukrainians, when he was unshaven, disheveled, and in a bad mood.

Europe has reached this threshold before, when a bloodthirsty nation, whipped up by hatred, promised to console itself with a piece of land. The sooner European nations intervene to prevent Russia from partitioning Ukraine, the less likely Russia will be able to invade Ukraine a third time.
