It's not rocket science.

It is logic.

But politicians have proven over many years that they don't "do" logic.

So here, Sebastian Sas spells it out in uncompromising terms, in the vain hope that perhaps some of the said politicians might get at least part of the message. A small fraction would be nice, as it might indicate some residual ability that could be built on in the hope of making eventual progress.

Meanwhile, it is entertaining in a rather futile way, but it does make one wonder if perhaps an AI might make a better job of world leadership ..?

Or do they act so dumb in a desperate attempt to hide their true motivations?

It's your view that counts.

Redacted presents a commendably short review of the economics & politics around Ukraine, sanctions, and economies.

Oh, and the Putin-Trump telephone call...

"... they are afraid that if the war ends, the entire fake economy they've built will collapse... "

Oh yes, the chickens are flocking home in droves (to mix my metaphors)... and it's serious.

Scott reviews the motivations behind the continuing conflict.

The overall situation seems to be largely unchanged, with Russia in control of the battlefield and Zelensky remaining unwilling to make any deal that Russia might find acceptable.

Worth watching to understand the western politics - and see who is taking which stance.

Plus a final section on the effective genocide in Gaza. It's one thing to condemn, quite another to effect meaningful change. Maybe we all need to take a lesson from this.

"... it's the collapse of the perception of legitimacy of the western model of democratic government - the idea that voting doesn't matter... people have arrived at that conclusion for perfectly obvious reasons... "

A brave man, academic and slightly robotic, David Betz is interviewed by David Clews (AKA the Emperor!) about his (David Betz's) suggestion that the UK is headed for some measure of civil war - make of this what you will.

What is Zelensky's position following abandonment by Donald Trump and facing implacable Russian Troops on the battlefields?

No surprises here, and precious few opportunities - but will he take from what is actually on offer?

Scott Ritter recounts the dreadful tale of how he got to where he is today.

And what may be the UK's contribution to this situation?

Make of this what you will...

... but as always, Trump is wrong-footing a lot of people!

He's probably the only global politician who can pull it off. I suppose you could say that this is what power-play leadership is all about, and of course, it serves to keep his opposition confused.

Il Presidento has moved on from Saudi to Doha, with much signing of agreements and general adulation (none of which includes Netanyahu'sIsrael, once the master of the USA - Trump must be feeling remarkably confident).

Even Iran it seems now wants a piece of the action, and if granted that would be a complete about-face from previous form of decades.

Will a decisive break from the past really emerge from all this?

Government meddling knows no bounds, but this is serious.

Much common sense here, but since when did that feature in Government departments?

And do try to keep up...

Has the Donald run out of runway in the Middle East and Ukraine theatres of conflict?

Bearing in mind his pre-election rhetoric about stopping the Ukraine war in hours rather than days, it's looking questionable.

The British Military are now hopefully being stirred into action on behalf of the people.

The "Holy Father" 's funeral arrangements come in for some analysis, as do some of the lack-of-power figures that still inhabit the EU and UK, still seemingly hopeful to recapture "past glories". Would you bet on it?

By coincidence (divine timing?) Fall of the Cabal release their latest video exposing the history of the Roman Catholic Vatican. Is today's Vatican fundamentally different, even if  they have stopped overtly burning heretics to death in the town square (for which we are grateful)?

With a world in flux anything could and may well happen; although the threat of war with Iran seems to be subsiding, the threat of war between India and Pakistan seems to be growing.

So a fast-paced scenario emerges where the absence of Pope Francis creates opportunities, which will no doubt unfurl in due course.

The Duran treat us to their view of the world situation, and the UK may be leading the way... but we need to be clear whither we are going.

"... the fall of Britain is going to be a very very tumultuous event, not just for Britain..."

"... it's very important to get the UK back into the EU... "  'despite Brexit' (!)

"... I think they are desperate to get into that mess..."

This "unprovoked" conflict should perhaps be seen in a different light if this report of the deliberations of the ECHR are to be believed.

The so-called Maidan Revolution of 2014 was an horrific and bloody affair, with (reportedly) gunmen firing into crowds, and much else as described in the linked article.

After the change of government, internal sporadic conflict took place almost continuously, despite the negotiated Minsk Agreements 1 and 2 which should have ended the fighting.

The Greyzone reports.
