Fauci assesses chances of more Covid lockdowns
RT World News (RSS)

The head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has warned a new strain of Covid could lead to a rise in case numbers

Americans may be in for yet more lockdowns – that’s the stark warning from Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which he made on Thursday. The official cited a new Covid strain which could potentially increase the number of cases.

In an interview with CNN, Fauci said that the highly contagious BA.2 Omicron subvariant, also known as ‘Stealth’ Omicron, could soon lead to a spike in the number of infections in Am...

EU country won’t negotiate new gas deal with Russia’s Gazprom
RT World News (RSS)

Signing a new contract has been deemed impossible due to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine

Bulgaria will not negotiate a new natural gas contract with Russia’s state-owned energy giant Gazprom, amid the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kiev, the country’s Deputy Prime Minister Assen Vassilev said Saturday.

“In this situation, there’s no way there are talks with Gazprom,” he told BNR public radio.

The country currently has a 10-year gas supply contract with Gazprom, which runs out at the end of 2022. Bulgaria receives nearly all of its natural-gas supply from Russia.

Sofia is current...

Ukraine War Will Bring NATO to New All-Time Low When Biden Arrives at Brussels Meeting
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

In terms of PR and its own identity, the failure to support Ukraine will reverberate for decades to come, Martin Jay writes.

Far from NATO being emboldened and “united”, despite the military drills in backwaters like Norway which mainstream media dutifully accept being spoon fed, the organisation itself is likely to become even more ineffective, weak and poorly managed than ever before once the Ukraine crisis is over.

That doesn’t mean it might not expand. There are one or two candidates which are mulling such...

What Is Bergoglio Up to?
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

There is just one coherent explanation for Bergoglio’s rush to “consecrate.”

Orthodox believers will remain unfazed by this, and one may also assume that many followers of the Roman Catholic church will be equally unimpressed, but nevertheless a recent Vatican announcement about “consecrating” Russia and Ukraine on March 25 (while some derision is allowed) should not be taken lightly.

To be precise, it may and should be taken lightly only in the religious sense, but it ought to be treated with all due seriousness and respect where it counts for the Vatican, politically. Coming in close coordination with the initiation of the brutal campa...

U.S. Recklessly Eyes China as Target in Economic War
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

Western officials say Russia is asking China for military help — denied by Beijing — in what is clearly an effort to build a case to include China in its economic war against Moscow, writes Joe Lauria.

By Joe LAURIA

The United States is setting up China as a second target of its intense economic war against Russia in what could have cataclysmic effects on the world economy, including the West.

The U.S. could not impose the most stringent sanctions on Moscow without the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and now the U.S. is trying to link China to the war.

Washington’s move to frame Beijing emerged Monday when...

Deterrence Works, Propaganda Fails in Ukraine (So Far)
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

By Peter Van BUREN

Deterrence works. Russia’s nukes are the only thing keeping the US from full-out war in Ukraine only six months after retreating from Afghanistan. So far, the unprecedented propaganda effort by the Ukraine and its helpers in the American mass media to drag the US and NATO directly into the fight has failed. But this struggle — for your mind space — is not over.

To understand what follows, you have to wipe away a lot of bullshit being slung your way. Putin is not insane, not a madman. He is carrying out a rational political-military strategy in Ukraine, seizing Russian-speaking territory such as Donbas, demil...
