Russia and China to advance 'fair world order'
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is meeting, on Wednesday, with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, for the first time since Moscow launched its military campaign in Ukraine on February 24. Unlike most Western nations, and some Asian countries, Beijing has refused to condemn Moscow and rejected calls to impose sanctions. The neighboring countries will work to achieve "a multipolar, fair, and democratic world order," Lavrov said after arriving in Tunxi, a city in China's eastern inland Anhui Province, on Wednesday. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova posted a photo of the two ministers greeting each other with an elbow bump. Beijing has argued that economic restrictions disrupt world trade and will not resolve the conflict. Officials insist only dialogue and diplomacy can lead to peace. TASS quoted Wang as saying that despite "new challenges" to the ties between the two nations, "the will of both sides to develop bilateral relations has become even stronger."...

How Mariupol will become a key hub of Eurasian integration
Mariupol, the strategic Sea of Azov port, remains in the eye of the storm in Ukraine. The NATO narrative is that Azovstal - one of Europe's biggest iron and steel works - was nearly destroyed by the Russian Army and its allied Donetsk forces who "lay siege" to Mariupol. The true story is that the neo-Nazi Azov batallion took scores of Mariupol civilians as human shields since the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, and retreated to Azovstal as a last stand. After an ultimatum delivered last week, they are now being completely exterminated by the Russian and Donetsk forces and Chechen Spetsnaz. Azovstal, part of the Metinvest group controlled by Ukraine's wealthiest oligarch, Rinat Akhmetov, is indeed one of the biggest metallurgic plants in Europe, self-described as a "high-performance integrated metallurgical enterprise that produces coke and sinter, steel as well as high-quality rolled products, bars and shapes." Amidst a flurry of testimonials detailing the...

What's with Ketanji Brown Jackson's soft spot for drug dealers, pedophiles and terrorists?
"Justice demands this result." That's what Ketanji Brown Jackson said in 2011 after the U.S. Sentencing Commission knocked as much as three years off the prison terms of crack-cocaine convicts. As vice chair of the commission, Jackson believed the nation's drug laws were overly harsh and especially "unfair" to blacks. A month earlier, Jackson had shrugged off Justice Department warnings that the decision -- which made more than 12,000 federal crack inmates eligible for early release -- could flood the streets with dangerous criminals who would likely reoffend. "[B]y keeping them in longer, it doesn't seem to make a difference with regard to whether or not they recidivate," Jackson reasoned in a June 2011 commission hearing in Washington, according to transcripts reviewed by RealClearInvestigations.

BEST OF THE WEB: Russia's security chief: Biolabs conducting 'inhuman experiments' in Ukraine make US 'worthy successor of Third Reich'
Comment: In this context, Nazi comparisons are appropriate... The evidence gathered by Russia regarding the activity of US biolabs in Ukraine will show the world that Washington has continued traditions of the Third Reich, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev said on Monday as he met with director general of Algeria's external security and documentation directorate, Major General Noureddine Mokri. Patrushev stressed: "At present, we are finishing work to gather the evidential base regarding the military-biological activity of the US in Ukraine. I have no doubts that it will be formed, and the whole civilized world will eventually see that America has become a 'worthy' successor of traditions of the Third Reich, where unhuman experiments on people were practiced.

Brandon's Island
It's rumored that Joe Biden shit his pants at the Vatican last October. The word around Rome was much more polite, calling it a 'bathroom accident'. The live feed from the Vatican was bizarrely cut off when circumstances required that the holy janitors tend to the latest American President's mess on the world stage. Foreign visits to The Holy See of American delegations that include the commander-in-chief are now described using phraseology typically reserved for events concerning toddlers at preschools. Awe, did Bwandon have anuva bafwoom accident? As with every mishap in his life he gets a pass. Partly due to his decrepit elder condition, partly due to his status as the selected puppet of global management. No President has ever skated by with so many catastrophic blunders unscathed, unquestioned, unacknowledged, or in the case of his crackhead son's laptop of sexual deviance, corruption, and treasonous treasures that tie in the President himself, so thoroughly ignored altogether...

"Events like this happen once a century": Sergey Glazyev on the breakdown of epochs and changing ways of life

Is it possible to stabilize the ruble in three days and why don't the Ukrainian"zombies" give up? "After failing to weaken China head-on through a trade war, the Americans shifted the main blow to Russia, which they see as a weak link in the global geopolitics and economy. The Anglo-Saxons are trying to implement their eternal Russophobic ideas to destroy our country, and at the same time to weaken China, because the strategic alliance of the Russian Federation and the PRC is too tough for the United States.

Russia, Ukraine & the law of war: Crime of aggression
Scott Ritter, in part one of a two-part series, lays out international law regarding the crime of aggression and how it relates to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "To initiate a war of aggression is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulative evil of the whole." - Judges of the International Military Tribunal at the Nuremberg Trials. When it comes to the legal use of force between states, it is considered unimpeachable fact that in accordance with the intent of the United Nations Charter to ban all conflict, there are only two acceptable exceptions. One is an enforcement action to maintain international peace and security authorized by a Security Council resolution passed under Chapter VII of the Charter, which permits the use of force. The other is the inherent right of individual and collective self-defense, as enshrined in Article 51 of the Charter, which reads as...

Medvedev says 'new world financial order' is coming - plus ruble for gas updates
A new financial order will be negotiated in the world, and the West won't have the main say in it anymore, ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has claimed. The "hellish" sanctions imposed on Russia by the US, EU, and their allies over the conflict in Ukraine have failed to cripple to the country, but are instead "returning to the West like a boomerang," Medvedev, the former Russian president who is now the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, wrote on Telegram. "This is hurtful for our 'friends' in Europe and overseas." But while the West continues its "fruitless efforts" to restrict Russia, "the world is gradually moving towards a new logic of global economic relations; towards upgrading the financial system," he said. According to Medvedev, the US and EU have "tarnished their reputation" by blocking the reserves of the Russian central bank. "It is impossible to trust those who freeze the accounts of other states; steal other people's business assets and personal...

BEST OF THE WEB: Is Russia the REAL target of Western sanctions?
The first tweet I saw when I checked my timeline this morning was from foreign policy analyst Clint Ehlirch, pointing out that the Russian ruble has already started recovering from the dip created by Western sanctions, and is almost at pre-war levels: Ehrlich states, "sanctions were designed to collapse the value of the Ruble, they have failed". ...to which I can only respond, well "were they?" ...and perhaps more importantly, "have they?" Because it doesn't really look like it, does it? If anything, the sanctions seem to be at best rather impotent, and at worst amazingly counterproductive.

'Entitled' millennial generation 'never had to sacrifice': BlackRock exec
Inflation and high gas prices are forcing a generation of "entitled" younger Americans to learn the pain of not being able to buy things at the store, the head of asset management giant BlackRock said. "For the first time, this generation is going to go into a store and not be able to get what they want," BlackRock President Rob Kapito told a conference in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday. "And we have a very entitled generation that has never had to sacrifice." Kapito's remarks were first reported by Bloomberg News. Kapito said that the US economy is beset with what he called "scarcity inflation," which translates into a shortage of workers, supplies, housing, and even energy. "I would put on your seat belts because this is something that we haven't seen," Kapito said.

"And we have a very entitled generation that has never had to sacrifice." Kapito's remarks were first reported by Bloomberg News. Kapito said that the US economy is beset with what he called "scarcity inflation," which translates into a shortage of workers, supplies, housing, and even energy. "I would put on your seat belts because this is something that we haven't seen," Kapito said.

Russia makes new allegations about US-funded biolabs in Ukraine
Documents and other evidence from US-funded laboratories in Ukraine suggest that Kiev was planning to use drones to deploy pathogens against the Donbass, as well as Russia itself, Moscow claimed on Wednesday. The Defense Ministry also alleged that it has identified specific US officials involved in the development of bioweapons in the East European country. No direct evidence was provided to back up the assertion. Of particular interest to Russian investigators are "documents testifying to the plans of the Kiev regime to use unmanned aerial vehicles capable of carrying and spraying deadly substances," military spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov outlined during a briefing. Facts in the possession of the Russian military "prove that the Kiev regime was seriously considering the possibility of using biological weapons against the population of the Donbass and the Russian Federation," Konashenkov added. Russia has also identified "specific officials who took part in the creation...

BEST OF THE WEB: California introduces new bill that would allow mothers to kill their babies up to 7 days after birth
After assaulting basic human rights for over two years, California Governor Gavin Newsom is working on a new INFANTICIDE bill that would legalize the murder of children up to nine months gestation and in the week(s) after birth. The bill has been proposed by Newsom's "Future of Abortion Council" which makes recommendations to "strengthen and expand" abortions in the state of California. Under California AB 2223, a mother will be shielded from civil and criminal charges for any "actions or omissions" related to her pregnancy. These actions include not only abortion in any stage of pregnancy, but also "perinatal death." Perinatal death is defined as the death of a newborn up to seven days or more.

Trump urges Putin to release dirt on Hunter Biden
Former President Trump called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release dirt on President Biden's son Hunter Biden during an interview published Tuesday. "One thing, while I'm on your show, as long as Putin now is not exactly a fan of our country, let him explain, where did — because Chris Wallace wouldn't let me ask the question — why did the mayor of Moscow's wife give the Bidens, both of them, $3.5 million dollars? That's a lot of money," Trump told John Solomon and Amanda Head on the "Just the News" show on Real America's Voice network. Trump added that, "I would think Putin would know the answer to that. I think he should release it."

Pentagon contradicts Biden's Ukraine claim about training troops
A top US general said American forces are not currently training Ukrainian troops in Poland. The head of US forces in Europe has said he is not aware of a program to train Ukrainian soldiers in Poland, after President Joe Biden appeared to suggest such a mission was underway while clarifying a previous gaffe made last week. Speaking to lawmakers during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday, General Tod Wolters - the commander of the US European Command (EUCOM) and NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe - insisted there is no training mission in Poland "at this time."

Civilian Army leader led child porn ring, risked US security
David Frodsham was a top civilian commander at a U.S. air base in Afghanistan when Army commanders ordered him home after investigating multiple complaints of sexual harassment. "I would not recommend placing him back into a position of authority but rather pursuing disciplinary actions at his home station," wrote one commanding officer when recommending that the Army order Frodsham to leave his post at Bagram Airfield and return to Fort Huachuca, a major Army installation in Arizona, according to a U.S. Army investigative file obtained by The Associated Press. But when Frodsham returned to his home station in the fall of 2015, he rejoined the Network Enterprise Technology Command, the Army's information technology service provider, where he had served as director of personnel for a global command of 15,000 soldiers and civilians, according to his Army resume.
