The Biden administration is very happy to know the pipeline is “a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea,” Victoria Nuland said

US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland has expressed joy over the destruction of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. She also argued that, even if the US had sanctioned the infrastructure weeks before the Ukraine conflict broke out, this would not have prevented hostilities.

During a Senate hearing on Thursday, Nuland was asked by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) whether his legislation aimed at sanctioning the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, which was voted down in January 2022, could hav...

The actor-turned-president is due to speak at the country’s largest song competition

Tens of thousands of Italians have signed a petition protesting Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s planned address at a Eurovision-style song contest. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini told reporters that the event “should remain the festival of Italian song and nothing else.”

The petition, which blames the Ukrainian conflict on NATO and on Kiev’s “brutal repression” of Russian-speakers in Donbass, has gained around 33,000 signatures, Reuters reported on Friday morning.

It calls on the organizers of the Sanremo Music Fe...

Israel’s Racism Exposed in Ongoing Imprisonment of Ethiopian-Born Soldier Avera Mengistu
MintPress News (RSS)

For how long will I be in captivity? After so many years, where are the state and the people of Israel? These were the words, uttered in Hebrew, of a person believed to be Avera Mengistu, an Israeli soldier of Ethiopian origin who was captured and held in Gaza in 2014.

Footage of Mengistu, looking nervous but also somewhat defiant, calling on his countrymen to end his 9-year incarceration mostly ended speculation in Israel on whether the soldier was alive or dead.

The timing of the release of the footage by Hamas was obvious, and is directly linked to the Palestinian group’s efforts ai...

Claims Russia is Trying to Control Chisinau are ‘Baseless’, FM Press Sec Zakharova

“In contrast to the West, Russia never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries. We are trying to cooperate with [Moldova] on a mutually beneficial basis,” but currently “authorities are under the influence and control of the United States and the EU, which damages pragmatic relations with Russia,” she told RT.

300-Year-Old Holiday Scrapped? Danes Fume at Declining Welfare

Copenhagen’s much-loved welfare model is under a “big threat,” with its budgets tightening due to government plans to raise its defense spending to the 2% of GDP NATO target - which could result in cuts to public holidays.

PM Mette Frederiksen wants to scrap the Great Prayer Day to put onus for payment on employers and not government, allowing her to accelerate the planned defense spending which she claims is necessary due to the Ukraine conflict.

The move has caused public outcry, with one union leader telling AFP, “If they go through with this they will be imposing their will and violate our agreements.” PM Frederiksen, however, said “I don’t think it’s a problem to have to work an extra day.”

Berlin’s behavior is “unacceptable,” Peter Szijjarto said

Green Party ministers in Germany’s coalition government are blocking work to modernize Hungary’s Paks nuclear power plant, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said. Upgrades at the plant, which account for half of the country’s electricity production, are being carried out by Russian nuclear agency Rosatom and a number of European firms. 

France’s Framatome and Germany’s Siemens Energy were contracted to supply control systems for new reactors at the facility in central Hungary, but haven’t done so yet due to opposition from Berlin, Szijjarto said during a...

‌US should ‘liberate Canada from Trudeau’ – Tucker Carlson
RT World News (RSS)

The Canadian prime minister leads an “authoritarian government,” the Fox News host declared

The US should send troops across its northern border to “liberate” Canada from under the yoke of Justin Trudeau, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on his daytime show. Trudeau, who ordered a draconian crackdown on anti-lockdown protesters last year, is letting his country “become Cuba,” Carlson added.

“I’m completely in favor of a Bay of Pigs operation to liberate that country,” he said on Thursday’s episode of ‘Tucker Carlson Today’, referring to the failed CIA-backed attempt to overthrow Cuba’s communist government in 1961.

“Why should we stand back and let our biggest trading partner, the country with which we share the longest border… why should we let it become Cuba?” Carlson continued. “Like, why don’t we liberate it?”

Tucker Carlson: “We're spending all this money to liberate Ukraine from the Russians, why are we not sending an armed force north to liberate Canada from Trudeau? And, I mean it.”#TUCKERCARLSONpic.twitter.com/B6vW1DH2un

“We’re spending all this money to liberate Ukraine from the Russians, why are we not sending an armed force north to liberate Canada from Trudeau?” he asked, before laughing and saying that he had talked himself “into a frenzy.”

Carlson is noted for his deadpan humor, but the Fox host is also a fierce critic of Canada’s liberal leader. He slated Trudeau for introducing emergency powers last February enabling him to – among other things – seize the bank accounts of truckers protesting against his government’s hugely controversial vaccine mandate.

“Justin Trudeau is the dictator of Canada,” he said at the time. “If you think that’s an overstatement, try to think of another way to describe what Justin Trudeau is now doing.”

Carlson has also been a persistent critic of the Biden administration’s Ukraine policy – which has seen Washington spend more than $110 billion propping up Vladimir Zelensky’s economy and military with bailouts and progressively heavier armaments. The conservative pundit has insisted that American money would be better spent fixing the US economy and border, and that Zelensky is attempting to drag the US into an open war with Russia.
