Biden-Putin Teleconference: Putin Rejects Biden’s Demand That U.S. Take Control Over Negotiations Between Ukraine and Its Former Donbass Region

James Fetzerblog

By Eric Zuesse The two-hour December 7th Biden-Putin conversation (via video-conference) focused mainly on the conflict between Ukraine and its breakaway former Donbass region, which is in Ukraine’s far east and borders on Russia. In order to understand the conversation, some basic history that produced the current situation there needs to be stated, because this is the point-of-reference behind the summit-conversation that occurred on December 7th: The September 5, 2014 Minsk Protocol, and its followup February 12, 2015 Minsk II Agreement, established the agreements between Ukraine and the Donbass breakaway region, that…

The Saker, Russian Options in a World Headed for War

James Fetzerblog

The Saker The world is headed for war and has been headed that way for quite a while now.  Several times, just at the brink, the West decided to pull back, but each time it did that its ruling elites felt two things: first, the felt even more hatred for Russia for forcing them to back down and, second, they interpreted the fact that no shooting war happened (yet) as the evidence, at least in their minds, that standing on the brink of war is a pretty safe exercise.  And…

James Fetzerblog

By Jeremy Kuzmarov Despite his liberal pretensions, Obama’s foreign policy was dreamed up at Langley—which should not have been surprising given his background [This essay is another in CAM’s series on the history of the CIA. Obama has been in the news this week for overseeing groundbreaking on his presidential center. This center has sparked controversy because it will not house any actual documents and is being built on the supposedly protected Jackson Park on Chicago’s southern lakefront. Hugh Iglarsh wrote in Counterpunch that the main tower—which resembles a giant upraised cell…

James Fetzerblog

Finian Cunningham The rapidly shifting international distribution of power creates problems that can only be resolved with real diplomacy. The great powers must recognize competing national interests, followed by efforts to reach compromises and find common solutions. Over the past week the Biden administration has intensively reached out to Europe to revitalize the transatlantic alliance. In the following on-topic interview, Professor Glenn Diesen explains how the United States is opposed to the emerging reality of a multipolar world because of its winner-takes-all ideology. In doing so, Washington is predisposed to…

Patrick J. McShay, The Deep State, the IMF and the Fleecing of Ukraine

by Patrick J. McShay “Communism is Jewish Cabalism, a Satanic Cult that inverts reality and morality” — Eustace Mullin, Author of “The Secrets of The Federal Reserve” “The impeachment farce is basically a Jewish Affair” — Israeli Daily Haaretz I’ve written quite a bit about the unrelenting vitriol directed at President Trump by members of the media, especially so from Jewish members of the media. I’ve also written that the vast majority of the Jewish members of the Congress and Senate are Democrats with dual Israeli citizenship who are the…

Paul Craig Roberts, Trump Is History and So Is the USA

James Fetzerblog

Paul Craig Roberts When I read this evening in The Hill, which I mistakenly thought was a legitimate news publication rather than a weapon against President Trump and the Republicans, that the documented fact that Joe Biden and his son received between them $1,750,000 for preventing any Ukrainian investigation of the corrupt firm Burisma was mere unsupported “allegation,” and that the Trump Department of Justice had indicted two associates of Rudy Giuliana, President Trump’s most fervent supporter, for “campaign finance violations,” a very elastic term, it became completely clear that Trump’s own…

Mike Adams, Pelosi’s surrender to the lunatic impeachment fringe of the Democrat party may push America to civil war

James Fetzerblog

Mike Adams (Natural News) Nancy Pelosi just couldn’t resist the fringe lunatics any longer. Earlier today, she caved to the madness of the Democrat crowds and agreed to pursue an attempted impeachment of President Trump over yet another fabricated, media-hyped hoax. The “Russia collusion” hoax just won’t die, it seems, as long as the New York Times or Washington Post still has yet more fake “anonymous sources” to dream up. And while the fake news media is fabricating fake treason accusations against Trump, the lunatic fringe of the Democrat party…
