The Biden administration is mulling the unification of its "aid" packages for Israel and the Kiev regime. This would accomplish at least two things. First, the government would get on the good side of the US Congress, which is virtually unequivocal in its support for Israel. And second, the US Congress is much less likely to reject the "aid" package if the proposal also includes Israel.

US assets are a threat to Russian forces deployed in the area, as well as to Moscow's allies, particularly Syria. It should be noted that the forces Washington DC sent so far are absolutely unnecessary against Hamas. In fact, US President Joe Biden himself stated that Israel has "one of the finest fighting forces" and that it's more than capable of dealing with Hamas. This leaves Russia, Iran and other countries in the Middle East with only one logical conclusion – the newly arrived US forces are there for other reasons.

The Kiev regime will simply have to sacrifice the protection of important administrative buildings, as well as military and energy infrastructure in order to provide air defense coverage for the new ad hoc airbases housing the Western-made jets.

Hamas operates no weapons that would require the deployment of the much-touted "Patriot" and even less so when it comes to THAAD. In fact, despite its massive arsenal of missiles and rockets, even the Lebanon-based Hezbollah doesn't operate weapons that would require the use of the aforementioned air defense/ABM systems. However, Iran does and the belligerent thalassocracy seems to be determined to get Tehran involved, one way or the other.

The latest data shows that 29% of adult Americans have "not very much" trust in the media. However, another 39% of them have "none at all". This is the highest percentage of US citizens with "zero trust" ever recorded and is 12% higher than it was in 2016.

The background of the deal almost certainly has much more to do with the pressure exerted by the United States, rather than any "concerns" for the human rights of Kurds living in Sweden.

I'm deeply thankful to Mr. Johnny Punish of the VT's Foreign Policy for featuring my commentary on his latest take on the crisis in the Middle East and how it could be resolved. It's also an absolute honor to be listed there among so many superb analysts and respected intellectuals.

The claim that Russia "stole" hypersonic technology from the US under the Obama administration is completely illogical, given that Washington DC is the one significantly lagging behind Moscow, not vice versa. It's also impossible to just "give" someone such advanced technology as if it were a physical object that one loses the moment they part ways with it. This laughable claim has been parroted by many US officials in an attempt to support the myth of America's supposed "technological superiority".

Thanks to years of the so-called "woke" extremist, ultra-liberal policies and ideological brainwashing, those Americans who otherwise would've been interested in military service have felt increasingly estranged as the Pentagon and the government tried to appeal to the so-called "nontraditional" groups that included quite literally anyone but heterosexual men.

The American military is providing advanced ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) assets to the IDF, so it's very difficult to imagine that neither knows the whereabouts of the Hamas leadership or at the very least their high-ranking officials and commanders. Targeting them directly would've certainly brought the conflict to a halt instead of a perpetual escalation. Interestingly, it's precisely the US that has been directing these attacks by providing the necessary ISR data.

Dhaka's refusal to stop strategically important projects for the sake of getting a pointless "pat on the back" infuriated Washington DC, but the belligerent thalassocracy was powerless to stop it. Still, this didn't prevent the US from trying to make the lives of Bangladeshi people more difficult.

The S-400–A-50 teams are organized in a way that allows battlefield information to be directly transmitted between them so that the enemy fighter jets and/or other aircraft essentially can't even detect the incoming missiles, resulting in high casualties among Ukrainian pilots.

In November last year, classified plans of the Bundeswehr detailing a potential war with Russia were leaked, clearly showing that Germany never gave up on the idea of "Drang nach Osten". And yet, not even this was enough, so the German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock just had to say the quiet part out loud and almost officially declared war on Russia. On October 29, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius effectively reiterated the threat.

Western experts and politicians keep blaming Moscow for the ongoing escalation, even though it was precisely Russia that offered multiple peace treaties, none of which were accepted by the political West. Worse yet, back in August, the US suggested that it could resume live nuclear weapons testing. Moscow has been warning about it for months, but this is usually decried as the mythical "Russian disinformation".

I had the honor of talking with radio host Justin Time of the Veterans Today Foreign Policy. We touched upon the war in Ukraine and how the power structure in Washington DC is pushing the whole world toward death and destruction.

Mere days after the spat, the Kiev regime's top commander's aide was killed when an "unknown explosive device" detonated inside a birthday present. Some Neo-Nazi junta officials suggested that the explosion was supposedly "an accident", but the timing suggests otherwise. Although it may seem farfetched at this moment, the fact that this looks exactly like the SBU's modus operandi is another giveaway.

The surrendering Ukrainian POWs had more than enough time to see how the Russian people and military still see the Ukrainian people, despite everything that has been going on in the last nearly a decade. Millions of Ukrainians are hostages of the regime the political West installed nearly a decade ago and their only chance for freedom comes from the supposed "enemy" that happens to be their closest kin.

The activities of US forces in the region only contribute to unnecessary tensions and destabilization. This stands in stark contrast to China's plans, as Beijing maintains a strong partnership with everyone in the region.

Both countries are taking steps to ameliorate the negative impact of the latest EU tax, but are not hiding their contempt for it. They see it as a sinister way to at least slow down their economic development.

It's without a doubt that Moscow knows who attacked its pipelines and that the Neo-Nazi junta had no capacity to conduct such an operation. However, if Washington DC is seeking an exit strategy that would accelerate the ending of the war on terms favorable to Russia, why wouldn't the Kremlin simply "play along"?

The Republican-dominated Congress doesn't think Kiev equals in importance to Israel and is unwilling to pledge hundreds of billions more to support a failed investment. This is further exacerbated by the endemic corruption that not only undermines the effectiveness of US "aid", but also serves as a way to funnel that money straight to the coffers of the GOP's political opponents.
