The Real News Network (RSS)

As the Russian military invasion of Ukraine enters its second month and diplomatic relations between the US and Russia are at their most strained point in decades, seven-time WNBA All-Star Brittney Griner is being held as a political prisoner by Russian authorities. As famed sports analyst and journalist Dave Zirin recently wrote for MSNBC News, “While Griner’s detention has received a measure of media attention, the fact that she was in Russia in the first place demands its own examination… Like most professional women’s players, who make a microcosmic fracti...

Biden’s ‘cognitive decline’ is a ‘national security risk,’ says Republican senator
RT World News (RSS)

Rand Paul said the president’s gaffes could escalate the Ukrainian conflict into “a world war”

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) said on Monday that President Joe Biden’s apparently declining mental faculties present a “national security risk” that could see the US dragged into a war with Russia. Biden earlier appeared to call for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s removal from power, before walking back the statement, then making it again....

Five dead in Israel shooting
RT World News (RSS)

The attacker targeted ultra-Orthodox Jews in Bnei Brak, east of Tel Aviv

At least five people have been killed in a shooting in the Tel Aviv suburb of Bnei Brak on Tuesday evening. Israeli authorities said the attacker was riding a motorcycle when he opened fire into the Haredi Jewish community.

Initial reports spoke of four people killed and one seriously injured, but it appears the fifth person has since succumbed to their wounds.

There were conflicting reports about the shooter, with some Israeli media outlets saying he had been “neutralized” and others reporting he was still on the run. His identity has not...

“Neither war nor sanctions are good solutions” in Ukraine and it should not be used as a pawn

Asia is not a “chessboard” on which great powers should confront each other, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said, referring to the geopolitical standoff over Russia’s offensive in Ukraine.

On his return from a working trip to Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Nepal, Wang told the media on Monday that many developing countries, including those in Southeast Asia, were “highly concerned” about the development of the conflict.

Those nations are “...

A Comparison of Who the New York Times Deems Worthy and Unworthy of Propping up
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

By Kim PETERSEN

The New York Times continues to selectively promote news that fits the Establishment narrative. The NYT portrays the nine-year sentence of the Russian “opposition leader” Aleksei Navalny to a high-security prison as a travesty of justice. Was it unjust? If so, justice must be demanded. What I can comment on is a factual inaccuracy by the NYT: Navalny is not the opposition leader. His party has zero seats in the State Duma. The oppositio...

The Most Simple and Laziest Form of Journalism? War Reporting, Actually
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

The stories practically write themselves for the simple reason that many of the normal requisites of reporting don’t apply in conflict zones.

The truth is that it’s the lowest hanging fruit and there is almost no impetus either on the ground or from media bosses to check facts. But what will these journalists do when the truth gets out after the war ends in Ukraine, when they become the focus of opprobrium?

The biggest secret which no journalist ever wants to tell even his own mother is that war reporting is absurdly easy and can actually be carried...

U.S. Puppet Zelensky Ready to Discuss Neutrality?
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

By Stephen LENDMAN

Multiple rounds of Russia/Ukraine peace talks accomplished nothing, another to take place in Istanbul, most likely on Tuesday.

From his hideout in Poland on Sunday, Zelensky recited lines scripted by his US master.

Saying he’s ready to discuss neutrality ignored that he has no say over anything related to all things Russia and Ukraine — no decision-making authority without US approval.

His public remarks are scripted for and approved by dominant Biden regime Russophobes.

Journalist John Helmer stressed what’s indisputable, saying:

At a time of war, “no US president (was) ever…as incapacitated in command and control as...
