Not so long ago #Kyiv cut the water supply to #Crimea and blocked all services to #Donbass – now #Russia tells Kyiv that if it wants energy from the #Zaporozhye power plant it must pay. Large numbers of power plants are now under #Russian control –

Remember 2014, when Joe #Biden and Gen. Martin Dempsey admitted their ‘major allies’, esp. the Saudis, were funding #ISIS and #alQaeda? Well the same team is behind #BokoHaram and #alShabab in Africa. Then they intervene to ‘save the world’. #NATO‘s ‘jihadist’ protection racket.

More Russia India collaboration. India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) is considering purchasing additional stakes in Russian oil and gas fields from Western companies seeking to leave Russia.

Another group of the 115th brigade of #Ukrainian armed forces refuses to fight, this time in #Severodonetsk. They recorded an appeal to #Zelensky and their CIC. “We refuse to carry out combat missions .. we do not have reinforcements .. We do not refuse to defend #Ukraine️.”

Azov second-in-command “Kalina” left Azovstal & surrendered last night, says war reporter Dmitry Steshin.

Now claims that there has been 1750 Ukrainian forces who have surrendered in Azovstal. Plans are to demolish this plant and replace it with a technology park.

The DPR is working on the creation of a tribunal for the trial of Ukrainian war criminals. Cooperation between Russian, DPR and LPR agencies has already been established, the statute is currently being drafted.

US NSA Sullivan said that President Biden’s trip to Asia is not aimed at confronting China. We hope that the US will match words with deeds and work with countries in the region to promote solidarity & cooperation in the Asia-Pacific, instead of plotting division & confrontation.

It is not Russia who wanted to be an enemy of NATO.  It is NATO that needed an enemy for its raison d’être and unilaterally assigned this role to Russia.

We don’t talk enough about how disturbing it is that Silicon Valley megacorporations have just accepted that it’s their job to help the US win a propaganda war against Russia and everyone’s just going along with that like it’s fine and normal.

Yes it might yield a mushroom cloud, but for now the Ukraine proxy war is a rainbow of diversity: leading the way, DC neocons & war profiteers; Ukrainian Nazi militias receiving US weapons; & Congressional progressives voting unanimously to enrich/arm their proxy war allies.

Michael Tracey@mtracey

Amazing… Any thoughts, @SkyNews @DermotMurnaghan?

Michael Tracey@mtracey

The “Left Party” of Sweden is leading the opposition to the country’s sudden quest for NATO membership, upending 200+ years of military non-alignment. Is there any doubt that in the US, this position would immediately be coded as right-wing pro-Putin nefariousness?

Michael Tracey@mtracey

CNN is completely absurd. Like most US media, it essentially just operates as a repository for Ukraine government press releases — which means it’s now helping to obfuscate that the “outright Neo-Nazi” fighters have surrendered, and are in the custody of Russia

Michael Tracey@mtracey

Of the eight members of the Finnish parliament who voted against NATO membership, six are members of the “Left Alliance” party and two are members of right-wing parties. In the US, it would be automatically assumed that anyone who takes this position is a virulent right-winger

Michael Tracey@mtracey

Bernie Sanders just voted YES on funding the US proxy war in Ukraine to the tune of $40 billion. So now it’s officially on the record that every national politician associated with the activist “Left” is completely on board with escalating the war. That’s what the “Left” is now

Michael Tracey@mtracey

When Bernie’s top foreign policy advisor @mattduss touted the Biden policy on Ukraine as the “responsible progressive position” — i.e., dumping tons of weapons, publicly demanding regime change, actively undermining diplomacy — it was largely ignored

Well, there’s no reason at this point to think Bernie’s latest vote in favor of massively escalating the war, and massively deepening US commitment to the war, reflects anything other than his true convictions. And by extension the convictions of the professional activist “Left”

Still no press release, statement, tweets, etc. from Bernie Sanders explaining his vote for the $40 billion in Ukraine war funding. To figure out his position, you may have to just consult his recent appearance on an Atlantic Council webcast

As the American people struggle with rising gas prices & inflation, the permanent Washington establishment rushed to send $40B to Ukraine w/o defining what “winning” is & how this ends. They’d rather serve the interests of the military industrial complex than the American people.

Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz

The more weapons you pour into this war, the further the mission will creep. You’d have to be blind not to see it at this point. It’s a bottomless money pit geared not toward stopping an invasion but toppling Moscow and securing US unipolar domination.

U.S. dollar at a 28 month low against the Russia ruble. The sanctions are working!!!

Russia government official

Mr. Minister, why do you spread this disinformation time and again? It is Ukraine who

blocked its ports by placing sea mines. And it rejects the standing Russia’s offer to arrange safe passage for cargo ships.

USDRUB now at 62. Ruble remains the strongest currency in the world

Nothing is true until “Ukrainian officials” have confirmed it to be true. https://nytimes.com/live/2022/05/21/world/russia-ukraine-war

Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz

The Ukrainian government is quickly learning that it can say anything, literally anything about Russia, without any evidence at all, and the western mainstream press will report it as an actual news story.
