It is 8 years this week since the British government revealed pictures of two Russian men, captured on CCTV in Salisbury six months earlier on the day Sergei and Yulia Skripal were discovered passed out on a bench in the city centre. That it took so long to identify the alleged culprits for their poisoning… Continue reading The Skripal Hoax Revisited.

Kiev changes its tank driver
Symbolic of Ukraine’s descent into a second ‘Maidan’ of violent assaults and fascistic anti-Russian fervour, born of desperation, Vladimir Zelensky has appointed the notorious General Mikhailo Drapatiye as his new defence minister. Depending on which side you stand, his notoriety was either as a hero or a villain, though his tank-driving skills might classify him… Continue reading Kiev changes its tank driver
Kiev’s Double Act
It isn’t the first time that the Kiev regime has staged a false flag ‘Russian attack’ timed strategically to drive support for NATO’s war on Russia – but possibly the most devious and dirty. Zelensky himself described the double act: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the Russian drone strike that damaged Kyiv’s historic 11th-century Dormition… Continue reading Kiev’s Double Act
RT talks to Tony Kevin on Australian Russophobia.
In an act of calculated and callous bastardry on the night of May 21st, Ukrainian soldiers sent 16 long distance drones in three waves towards the central city of Starobelsk in the Lugansk Peoples Republic, hitting and destroying a student dormitory of the Lugansk Professional College, where over 80 teenagers were sleeping. The successive strikes… Continue reading RT talks to Tony Kevin on Australian Russophobia.
A Bridge Too Far
“Burning one’s bridges” was always considered unwise as a means of defence, as it narrowed the options of escape; nowadays “bombing other’s bridges” is the preferred option for keeping the enemy at bay. But whether defensive or offensive, destroying such expensive and vital structures has only been justifiable for military objectives.. until now! One can… Continue reading A Bridge Too Far
Kiev’s pipeline hostage diplomacy
There is a long history of Ukraine and its foreign backers using their control over gas and oil transit as a weapon, either for economic blackmail or for political advantage. In the years before the 2014 Maidan coup, a long-running dispute with Russia over non-payment for Ukrainian gas was followed by a throttling of the… Continue reading Kiev’s pipeline hostage diplomacy
Putin’s Promise, 24th February 2022
I post here a series of recordings from Russia’s NTV Segodnya (today) programme, broadcast on February 24th 2022, where Vladimir Putin declares his resolve to launch a ‘special military operation’ to protect the residents of Eastern Ukraine – Donbas – from NATO and AFR aggression and invasion. The decision to launch this operation – effectively… Continue reading Putin’s Promise, 24th February 2022
Pretending Peace while Declaring War – on Russia
Following Ukraine’s massive drone attack on President Putin’s residence in Novgorod, (shown in the projected flight paths in the map above, from the Ukrainian ‘Russian’ site Meduza) Turkish TRT news interviewed Atlantic Council’s Elisabeth Braw in London. What she said in the interview below (trimmed a little for length) might be considered unhinged and simply… Continue reading Pretending Peace while Declaring War – on Russia
Point x – the War Crimes Amnesty.
In the now notorious ‘Trump 28-point peace plan’ for settling the Ukraine conflict, there was included an amnesty for all war crimes committed since 2022. While the plan was initially said to have been drawn up by the US and Russia, this controversial clause – which rapidly disappeared without trace – should have demonstrated that… Continue reading Point x – the War Crimes Amnesty.
Defending Russia, 80 years on.
Below is an article I hoped would be published by dissident journal Pearls and Irritations when I submitted it on May 30th, after news had just emerged of the attempted assassination of President Putin as he flew to Kursk province on May 20th. The immediate trigger for my article – which aimed to put the… Continue reading Defending Russia, 80 years on.
