🚨Prof. Richard Sakwa: ‘The whole 500-odd years of Western dominance is now under challenge as NEVER BEFORE.

This civilisational West which has always been accompanied by genocide, mass murder, from Aztecs, to the Incas, to the peoples of the Caribbean, of course in the United States, the native peoples, all the way more or less to this day.

There’s something in our civilisation which has this endless drive for war when we do have an alternative.

And I keep going on about the United Nations charter system of 1945. At the end of the Second World War, humanity pledged to do it better. Never again. Of course it’s been many times again since then.

But we do have, as it were, a lodestar which does perhaps provide a type of path out of it, and that is to go to the idea of comity, of cooperation between the great powers.

Donald Trump, in his incoherent and opaque manner, is reaching towards this, to that vision of great power cooperation which is at the heart of the United Nations Security Council.’

-Prof. Richard Sakwa, blacklisted Emeritus Professor of Russian & European politics at the University of Kent

UK🇬🇧 Prime Minister and charisma vacuum Sir Keir Starmer has announced that the UK is moving to 'war-fighting readiness', citing ‘threats’ from Russia🇷🇺

The British Army is estimated to have only 20-25 operational tanks, after giving away most of its tank arsenal to Ukraine to be destroyed by Russia

As of 01/01/2025, the British Army only had 73,847 regular personnel. The Russian Army has an estimated 1.32 million active personnel. Russia also has an estimated 2 million reservists

The total number of personnel in the British Armed Forces declined by 3% from 2023 to 2024

More personnel are leaving the armed forces than are joining

While the British economy continues to stagnate into global irrelevance, and more than 14 million people live in poverty, including more than 1 in every 4 children…

Sir Keir Starmer and his band of the delusional insist on playing imperial games, when the British Empire no longer exists. Starmer wants to insert the UK into a war against Russia that it absolutely has no chance of winning.

Prof. Richard Sakwa: ‘The political West is increasingly ISOLATED.’

‘The Third World is back, now called the global south, or the world majority,
which simply looks at the Ukraine proxy war in the global north with contempt.

They say, ‘look, you started the First World War, you started a Second World War, guys, in Europe and the United States, can’t you stop it?’’

THROWBACK: India’s🇮🇳 Foreign Minister Jaishankar on the Ukraine proxy war:

‘Why would anyone in Asia trust Europe on anything at all? Europe has to grow out of the mindset that Europe’s problems are the world’s problems, but the world’s problems are not Europe’s problems.’

Europe endlessly creates wars which destabilise the planet, and then lectures the entire world with moral grandstanding, demanding every other country clutch their pearls and parrot Europe’s narrative.

New BBC genocide propaganda line just dropped:

Israelis are not massacring people relentlessly in Gaza, they’re massacring people relentlessly in ‘Hamas-controlled Gaza’.

Any wonder why people in countries of the global south view this channel with revulsion?

Your new UN General Assembly President Annalena ‘Bombs Away’ Baerbock:

While she was the German Foreign Minister confronted her over Germany providing arms to Israel to carry out a genocide in Gaza…

She rolled her eyes with contempt. This is the face of NATO ‘liberalism’; virtue signalling so-called ‘progressive values’ while assisting in savagely bombing women and children.

'Israel is weaponising anti-Semitism in order to stifle debate about Palestine...there is a difference between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. Anybody who confuses it is either ignorant or someone who manipulates the truth.’

The BBC’s Gaza coverage has been a genocide denial abomination, and it has essentially become Israel’s international propaganda station.

Here is a whistleblower from the BBC saying their ‘journalists’ were ordered to respond with ‘Israel has a right to defend itself’ to any mention of Israeli atrocities…

She also mentions that employees at the BBC are terrified of using ‘genocide’ to describe the onslaught in Gaza, and panic whenever a guest uses the word.

NATO Chief Mark Rutte says the NATO ‘defensive alliance’ is more powerful than both the Roman Empire and Napoleon’s Empire.

1. NATO is essentially the US, and a collection of vassal states that submit to Washington’s hegemony

2. The Chief of NATO compares the organisation he presides over to Napoleon and the Roman Empire, and then wonders why Russia, China, and most of the global south view NATO as a hyper-militarist threat…

After NATO nations destroyed Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and so many others.

While Rutte may be comical in overstating his own importance, when he is just a puppet that has to jump whenever Washington says, make no mistake, NATO is a dangerous, hyper-militarist organisation that is far from defensive.

DONALD TRUMP’S STATEMENT FOLLOWING PHONE CALL WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN:

‘I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields. We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran’s decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly! I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement. President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!’
