With the European farmers protest movement having entered a quiet phase after Brussels, in a partial (or phoney,) cave in offered farmers some concessions on taxes, fuel costs and 'net zero' fascism, to buy time in the run up to the European Parliament elections in June, although the farmer rebellion is not over, for the present we turn back to other stories in the news.
The war is still going on and though we have not reported it for a while nothing much has changed other than the media position: rather than feeding us the obvious lie that Ukraine is winning and just needed more weapons, humanitarian aid and western taxpayers money for a final push to victory as it had since Russian troops first crossed the border in 2022, the narrative has now changed, Ukraine is being crushed and needs more weapons, humanitarian aid and western taxpayers money to defend itself against aggression and survive as a nation.
Throughout the two years of war so far, European and American taxpayers have had little chance to hear Russia's case for prosecuting the war and what we have heard from the regime in Kiev has been so obviously propananda little beyond the fact that the content was generated by the Ukrainian defence ministry could be believed. Now however, thanks to the diligence of the alt_news community, specifically a former Fox News anchor, Tucker Carlson who now runs an independent news channel on Elon Musk's 'X' platform, we have had a chance to hear Russia's side.
And what a contrast it was to the demented babbling of US President in name only, Joe Biden, the empty threats of EU leaders where, as we know, nations have little military strength to back up their leaders words, and bluster from British military leaders who still delude themselves that the UK is a world power.
Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with Carlson released Thursday with journalist clearly wanted to deliver a firm message as well as assuring ordinary punters that despite the scaremongering of NATO and The USA that if Ukraine is lost Russia will advance into the rest of Europe, The Kremlin does not even want to conquer the whole of Ukraine. At one point he stressed that Kiev's allies must face up to the fact that it is "impossible" to defeat Russia in Ukraine.
"Up until now, there has been the uproar and screaming about inflicting a strategic defeat to Russia on the battlefield. But now they are apparently coming to realize that it is difficult to achieve, if possible, at all. In my opinion, it is impossible by definition," he said according to the full transcript of the meeting as published on Tucker Carlson's X channel.
The war is now only days away from reaching the two year-mark, on Feb.22, and though frontlines have been remained almost static in spite of Ukraine's much hyped counter offensive in the summer of 2023, which resulted in the Ukies losing huge number of troops and more territory, Russia has solidified its hold over much of the east and parts of the south. The ferocity of the war hasn't lessened and hostilities appear to have moved to an more dangerous cross-border phase.
Ukraine has not only launched several attacks on Russian oil refineries and key installations of late, but its cross-border attacks deep into Russian territory, made possible by the donation of expensive long range missiles from USA and UK, are coming almost daily at this point. Russia's defense ministry said Friday its forces shot down 19 Ukrainian drones over four different regions and the Black Sea overnight.
"An attempt by the Kyiv regime to commit a terrorist attack with 19 aerial drones against sites on Russian territory has been thwarted," the ministry said, identifying intercepts over the Kursk, Bryansk, Oryol and Krasnodar regions. One drone was sent to within 300 kilometers southwest of Moscow and targeted the country's energy infrastructure.
The more the conflict spreads into Russian territory the greater the risk of Russia finally unlesshing its big guns and heavy bombers on heavily populated parts of Ukraine, and utilizing Western long-range weapons, and the greater the threat of direct Russian-NATO conflict, which would be an unmitigated disaster for all sides with potential nuclear implications.
This is why during the Tucker Carlson interview in Moscow, Putin's words on the causes of the Ukraine war and the prospect for a future peace were being closely watched both in Ukraine and the West. Below are some key sections we have zeroed in on, in order to understand Putin's thinking in his own words.

‘We’re Not At War With Russia,’ Germany's Chancellor Scholz tells Warmongering French Ouanqeur Macron
Though Macron's recent posturing as a reincarnated Napoleon by calling on his fellow European leaders to send troops to fight alongside the Ukrainian military may have been nothing more than an ill - advised attempt to deflect attention from online conspiracy theories that his wife Brigitte is, or was at some time in the past, a man, the ploy, if that is what it was, has backfired.

Game Over For Zelensky - NATO andEU Officials Urge Ukraine To Seek Peace
As this blog predicted early last month, following the catastrophic failure of Ukraine's 'counter offensive' to push Russian troops out of their country, American and European leaders who have previously been solidly behind the doomed Ukrainian war with its powerful neighbour, are rapidly going cool on their pledges of unlimited support for puppet - president Zelensky and his far - right masters.

Well as is often said, in any wartruth is the first casualty.
Who Blew Up The Nordstream Pipeline
So whodunnit? Sabotage of undersea gas pipe will escalate tension and move the world closer to nuclear war, but who is behind it, Russia in a bid to put more presure on Europe, Ukraine in an attempt to drag NATO into direct action, or the USA using a CIA false flag event to advance its own agenda.

The European Commission, governing body of the EU, immediately put the community on something close to a war footing, ...

Is Russia Selling Its Oil To The World Through An Obscure Egyptian Port?
As this blog predicted when NATO and EU member states shot themselves in the foot by reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with sanctions that prevented Russia from selling oil, gas and vital raw materials to the countries that needed them most, the NATO and EU member states, the Russians have had no problems finding alternative customers for their gas and oil and no problem getting oil into the world's commodity markets through the back door.
As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow. Putin's critics have cited 'Western unity' as one of the main reasons why Russia will be economically destroyed and politically humiliated when the Ukraine's military finally claim victory.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.
Boris and Biden Can't Blame Ukraine War For Energy Crisis
