Trump and his National Security team successfully killed terrorists who have targeted U.S. troops and disrupted one of the most consequential shipping routes in the world. <strong>This is a coordinated effort to distract from the successful actions taken by President Trump and his administration to make America’s enemies pay and keep Americans safe.</strong></p>
<p>The Biden Administration sat back as a band of pirates — with precision-guided, Iran-provided weaponry — exacted a toll system in one of the most important shipping lanes in the world.</p>
<p>In fact, since 2023, Houthi terrorists <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1901286204701884540">attacked</a> U.S. Navy warships 174 times and attacked commercial shipping vessels 145 times — and as a result, 75% of U.S.-flagged shipping has been <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1903821767392588178">forced</a> to navigate the southern coast of Africa rather than through the Suez Canal.<br><strong>Biden’s weakness invited these unacceptable attacks — while President Trump put these terrorists on notice:</strong></p>

<p><span>Atlantic Magazine editor-in-chief</span> <a href="https://shameproject.com/profile/jeffrey-goldberg/" rel>Jeffrey Goldberg</a> <span>has won the admiration of his Beltway peers for the conduct he displayed after being accidentally invited into a smoke-filled “bomb Yemen” Signal chat with Trump’s national security honchos and top advisors. “Props to Jeffrey Goldberg for his high standards as a professional journalist,” declared Ian Bremmer, the trans-Atlanticist foreign policy pundit on his Bank of America-sponsored GZero podcast. “When he realized the conversation was authentic he immediately left, informed the relevant senior official, and made the public aware without disclosing intelligence that could damage the United States.”</span></p>

<p>But what exactly did Goldberg do to deserve such high praise?</p>
<p><span>With a once in a lifetime opportunity to view and report on high level discussions on the US launching an illegal war on Yemen, Goldberg chose to avert his gaze and leave the scene as soon as he could, apparently because maintaining such unparalleled access would have compelled him to report on discussions that might have complicated a war being waged on behalf of the Israeli apartheid state to which he</span> <a href="https://www.palestinechronicle.com/norman-finkelstein-jeffrey-goldbergs-prison/" rel>emigrated as a young man</a><span>. Instead of exploiting his front row seat to the Trump admin's war planning - a vantage point that would have yielded countless scoops and a bestselling book for any adversarial journalist - Goldberg bolted and dutifully informed the White House about the unfortunate situation.</span></p>
<p>From there, the story became a palace intrigue over an embarrassing failure of “opsec,” or operational security, and not one about the policy itself, which entails a gargantuan empire bombarding a poor, besieged country because it is controlled by a popular movement that is currently the only force on the planet taking up arms to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza.</p>
<p><span>In the fourth paragraph of</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250324194236/https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/" rel>Goldberg's Atlantic article</a> <span>about the principals' Signal group, he strongly implied that he supports the war's objectives, describing Ansar Allah, or the Houthis, as an "Iran-backed terrorist organization" which upholds a belief system that is (what else?) antisemitic. Given Goldberg’s admission that Waltz first reached out to him at least two days prior to mistakenly adding him to the Signal group, it appears the NSC director had been leaking to the Atlantic editor on behalf of the neocon faction in the Trump White House. And it seems clear why Waltz would have sought to cultivate Goldberg.</span></p>
<p><span>During the run-up to to the Iraq war, then-Vice President Dick Cheney cited Goldberg’s</span> <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2002/03/25/the-great-terror" rel>bunk reporting</a> <span>alleging deep ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda during multiple media appearances hyping up the coming invasion. Under Obama, Goldberg served as Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s errand boy, churning out</span> <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-goldberg-more-than-50-percent-chance-israel-would-strike-iran-in-2011/" rel>tall tales</a> <span>about Tel Aviv’s imminent plan to attack Iran’s nuclear sites – unless the US did it first. Since the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, the once-failing Atlantic has</span> <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/how-the-atlantic-went-from-broke-to-profitable-in-three-years/ar-BB1kH9qV" rel>suddenly turned a profit</a><span>, as Goldberg unleashed a firehose of</span> <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/08/how-settler-colonialism-colonized-universities/679514/" rel>propaganda</a> <span>against the</span> <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/03/columbia-antisemitism-israel-palestine-trump/682054/" rel>keffiyeh-clad</a> <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2023/10/hamas-covenant-israel-attack-war-genocide/675602/" rel>enemies</a> <span>of the magazine’s Upper East Side donor base. This month, with momentum for a strike on Iran building within the Trump White House, Goldberg was summoned once again move to the neocon message, and wound up with more access than he bargained for.</span></p>
<p>When asked in a March 24 interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins why he left the Trump principals’ Signal group voluntarily, Goldberg ducked the question. But as Ian Bremmer suggested, he did so out of deference to power and an abiding belief in a US empire hellbent on protecting Israel. And in the culture of Beltway access journalism, that's considered a laudable trait.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="p1"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Jo 1, 14</span></p>

<p data-sanitized-class="p1"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Le 25 Mars, nous célébrons l’Annonciation de l’Archange Gabriel à la Très Sainte Vierge Marie, et avec elle l’Incarnation de la Deuxième Personne de la Très Sainte Trinité dans le sein de la Vierge. <em>Le Verbe s’est fait chair et est venu habiter parmi nous </em>: ces simples paroles contiennent en elles-mêmes ce Mystère ineffable grâce auquel la Rédemption a commencé pour nous. De nombreuses Nations chrétiennes, comme le Grand-Duché de Toscane ou la République de Pise, le Luxembourg, le Dauphiné, la Savoie, le Royaume de Navarre et la Hongrie débutaient l’année civile non pas le 1</span><span data-sanitized-class="s2"><sup>er</sup></span> <span data-sanitized-class="s1">janvier, comme il est d’usage aujourd’hui, mais précisément le 25 Mars, dans ce que les historiens appellent le « style de l’Incarnation », qui faisait justement coïncider le Nouvel An chrétien avec l’équinoxe de printemps.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p1"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Cette date marque donc un événement historique, relaté dans les Saints Évangiles, qui neuf mois plus tard conduira la Vierge Marie, voyageant avec saint Joseph vers Bethléem pour le recensement ordonné par l’Empereur César Auguste, à trouver refuge dans une étable et à donner naissance à l’Emmanuel, <em>Dieu avec nous</em>.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p1"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Au Musée national de Capodimonte, à Naples, on peut admirer un tableau du peintre palermitain Pietro Novelli (1603-1647) dans lequel la Sainte Trinité est représentée au premier plan, envoyant l’Archange à la Très Sainte Vierge Marie. Le Père éternel remet à Gabriel un lys, afin qu’il apporte ce symbole de pureté à la Toujours Vierge Mère de Dieu, intacte avant, pendant et après l’enfantement. Ce splendide tableau nous offre la contemplation de l’Incarnation sous un angle différent, qui constitue presque un <em>unicum</em> dans l’iconographie chrétienne. Habituellement, l’artiste représente l’Annonciation en montrant la scène de l’Archange faisant irruption dans la maison de Notre-Dame, représenté agenouillé en prière. Dans les peintures médiévales, les mots <em>Ave gratia plena</em> sortent de la bouche de Gabriel, et de Marie les mots <em>Ecce ancilla Domini</em>. Ici, cependant, nous voyons la scène chronologiquement précédente dans laquelle, presque selon une dynamique humaine, la très auguste Trinité convoque son messager divin pour lui donner des instructions. Et la Vierge est petite, distante, presque inconsciente de ce qui l’attend peu de temps après.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p1"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">La fête de l’Annonciation tombe toujours dans le Carême, ce qui signifie que Dieu fait les plus grands miracles lorsque l’homme se reconnaît dans sa condition réelle de misère, dans son néant. Et plus nous sommes conscients que nous sommes totalement dépendants de Dieu – non seulement dans les choses surnaturelles, mais aussi dans les choses naturelles – plus Il daigne nous combler de Sa grâce et de Ses dons. <em>Ecce ancilla Domini</em> : la plus sainte des créatures, préservée de toute tache de péché par un privilège divin très spécial, se proclame <em>servante</em> et devient Dame, Reine, Mère de Dieu précisément parce que Son humilité – et avec elle la conscience de la nécessité de marcher avec le Christ sur le chemin royal de la Croix – est la prémisse nécessaire pour que le Tout-Puissant accomplisse en Elle de grandes choses. <em>Quia respexit humilitatem ancillæ suæ : ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes</em>. À l’inverse, dans l’orgueil, la créature s’élève et rivalise avec le Créateur, usurpe avec arrogance cette gloire qui se reflète sur les humbles par la grâce, prétend avoir des droits – une blasphématoire <em>dignitas infinita</em> – qu’elle ne peut revendiquer et qui non seulement lui valent la peine d’être rejetée dans son néant, mais d’y être enfoncée encore plus bas. <em>Dispersit superbos mente cordis sui, deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles</em>.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p1"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Et tandis que nous contemplons l’humilité de la Vierge et le destin de gloire et d’honneur que la Très Sainte Trinité a établi pour Elle, nous ne pouvons manquer de contempler l’humilité du Verbe éternel, qui descend de la gloire infinie du Ciel pour S’incarner dans le sein de la Vierge Marie, dans l’obéissance au Père, pour expier au nom de l’humanité des péchés qui ne sont pas les Siens, pour donner Sa vie pour nous, misérables pécheurs, pour restaurer l’ordre divin que nous avons osé violer par orgueil. Ce concept est explicité dans certaines représentations de l’Annonciation, dans lesquelles un rayon venant du ciel montre l’Esprit Saint descendant sur la Vierge, suivi d’un Enfant-Jésus avec la Croix.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p1"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Dans le tableau de Pietro Novelli, nous ne trouvons pas la Vierge mise de côté, ni ne la voyant négligée ou diminuée dans Sa coopération providentielle à l’œuvre de la Rédemption ; au contraire, nous voyons mise en évidence l’humilité du Verbe qui accepte docilement de Se faire chair, d’être la victime expiatoire de nos péchés et de devenir nourriture : <em>Celui qui mange ma chair et boit mon sang a la vie éternelle et je le ressusciterai au dernier jour. Car ma chair est vraie nourriture et mon sang est vraie boisson</em> (Jn 6, 54-55). Ce Très Saint Corps est formé dans le sein de la Vierge Mère, afin que la Chair soit déchirée dans les souffrances de la Passion et que le Sang coule des Plaies et du Côté du Christ comme parfaite purification de nos péchés. Dans ce mystère, nous reconnaissons la Compassion et la Co-Rédemption de la Mère de Dieu – la <em>Regina Crucis –</em> non seulement dans l’union avec la Rédemption de son Fils, mais aussi en ayant donné à Dieu, par la puissance de l’Esprit Saint, ce corps humain qui L’a fait vrai Homme et vrai Dieu, qui dans l’union théandrique fait de Notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ le seul Roi et Seigneur de droit divin, par lignée royale et par conquête. Et qui, dans la magnificence propre à la Très Sainte Trinité, fait de Marie notre Dame et Reine : Fille du Père, Épouse du Paraclet, Mère du Verbe.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p1"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Cette Royauté du Christ et de Marie trouve sa place naturelle en ce temps de Carême, car il ne peut y avoir de gloire de la Résurrection sans passer par le Golgotha. Si Notre-Seigneur et Sa Très Sainte Mère ont voulu nous donner cet exemple admirable, nous ne pouvons que le prendre comme modèle et nous préparer, avec l’aide de la Grâce, à accepter les croix que la Providence nous assigne comme prémisse de la récompense éternelle. Ainsi soit-il.</span></p>

<p data-sanitized-class="p1"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Jo 1, 14</span></p>

<p data-sanitized-class="p3"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Il 25 Marzo celebriamo l’Annunciazione dell’Arcangelo Gabriele a Maria Santissima, e con essa l’Incarnazione della Seconda Persona della Santissima Trinità nel seno della Vergine. <em>Il Verbo si è fatto carne ed è venuto ad abitare in mezzo a noi</em>: queste semplici parole racchiudono in sé quel Mistero ineffabile, grazie al quale è per noi iniziata la Redenzione. Molte Nazioni cristiane, come il Granducato di Toscana o la Repubblica di Pisa, il Lussemburgo, il Delfinato, la Savoia, il Regno di Navarra e l’Ungheria computavano l’inizio dell’anno civile non il 1° Gennaio, come si usa oggi, ma proprio il 25 Marzo, in quello che gli storiografi chiamano lo “stile dell’Incarnazione”, che portava appunto il capodanno cristiano a coincidere con l’equinozio di primavera.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p3"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Questa data segna dunque un evento storico, riportato nei Santi Evangeli, che nove mesi più tardi porterà la Vergine Maria, in viaggio con San Giuseppe verso</span> <span data-sanitized-class="s2">Betlemme</span> <span data-sanitized-class="s1">per il censimento ordinato dall’Imperatore Cesare Augusto, a trovare rifugio in una stalla e a dare alla luce l’Emmanuele, <em>Dio con noi</em>.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p3"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Nel Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, a Napoli, possiamo ammirare un dipinto del pittore palermitano Pietro Novelli (1603-1647) nel quale è raffigurata in primo piano la Santissima Trinità, che manda l’Arcangelo a Maria Santissima. L’eterno Padre porge a Gabriele un giglio, perché porti quel simbolo di purezza alla Semprevergine Madre di Dio, intatta prima, durante e dopo il parto. Questo splendido quadro ci propone la contemplazione dell’Incarnazione da una prospettiva diversa, che costituisce quasi un <em>unicum</em> nell’iconografia cristiana. Di solito l’artista rappresenta l’Annunciazione mostrando la scena dell’Arcangelo che irrompe nella casa di Nostra Signora, raffigurata mentre è inginocchiata in preghiera. Nei dipinti medievali, dalla bocca di Gabriele escono le parole <em>Ave gratia plena</em>, e da quella di Maria le parole <em>Ecce ancilla Domini</em>. Qui invece vediamo la scena cronologicamente precedente in cui, quasi con dinamiche umane, l’augustissima Trinità convoca il proprio divino messaggero dandogli istruzioni. E la Vergine è piccola, lontana, quasi ignara di ciò che La attende di lì a poco.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p3"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">La festa dell’Annunciazione cade sempre in Quaresima, a significare che Dio opera i più grandi miracoli quando l’uomo si riconosce nella sua reale condizione di miseria, nella sua nullità. E quanto più noi siamo consapevoli di dipendere totalmente da Dio – non solo nelle cose soprannaturali, ma anche in quelle naturali – tanto più Egli si degna di colmarci della Sua Grazia e dei Suoi doni. <em>Ecce ancilla Domini</em>: la più santa tra le creature, preservata da ogni macchia di peccato per specialissimo privilegio divino, si proclama <em>serva</em>, e diventa Signora, Regina, Madre di Dio proprio perché la Sua umiltà – e con essa la consapevolezza della necessità di percorrere con Cristo la via regale della Croce – è la necessaria premessa perché l’Onnipotente compia in Lei grandi cose. <em>Quia respexit humilitatem ancillæ suæ: ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes</em>. Viceversa, nell’orgoglio la creatura si innalza a competere con il Creatore, Gli usurpa con arroganza quella gloria che all’umile è riverberata per grazia, pretende di avere dei diritti – una blasfema <em>dignitas infinita</em> –che non può rivendicare e che le valgono non solo di esser ricacciata nel suo niente, ma di essere sprofondata ancor più in basso. <em>Dispersit superbos mente cordis sui, deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles</em>.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p3"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">E mentre contempliamo l’umiltà della Madonna e il destino di gloria e di onore che la Santissima Trinità ha stabilito per Lei, non possiamo non contemplare l’umiltà del Verbo eterno, che dalla gloria infinita del Cielo scende ad incarnarSi nel seno della Vergine Maria, in obbedienza al Padre, per espiare a nome dell’umanità colpe non Sue, per dare la propria vita per noi miserabili peccatori, per ripristinare l’ordine divino che per orgoglio abbiamo osato violare. Questo concetto è esplicitato in alcune rappresentazioni dell’Annunciazione, nelle quali un raggio proveniente dal cielo mostra lo Spirito Santo che scende sulla Vergine, seguito da un Gesù Bambino con la Croce.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p3"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Nel dipinto di Pietro Novelli non troviamo la Vergine messa da parte, né la vediamo trascurata o sminuita nella Sua provvidenziale cooperazione all’opera della Redenzione; al contrario, vediamo sottolineata l’umiltà del Verbo che accetta obbediente di farSi carne, per essere vittima espiatoria dei nostri peccati e diventare cibo: <em>Chi mangia la mia carne e beve il mio sangue ha la vita eterna e io lo risusciterò nell’ultimo giorno. Perché la mia carne è vero cibo e il mio sangue vera bevanda</em> (Gv 6, 54-55). Quel Corpo santissimo è formato nel seno della Vergine Madre, perché quella Carne sia straziata nei patimenti della Passione e quel Sangue sgorghi dalle Piaghe e dal Costato di Cristo come perfetto lavacro delle nostre colpe. In questo mistero riconosciamo la Compassione e la Corredenzione della Madre di Dio – la <em>Regina Crucis –</em> non solo nell’unione alla Redenzione del Figlio, ma addirittura nell’aver Ella dato a Dio, per opera dello Spirito Santo, quel corpo umano che Lo ha reso vero Uomo e vero Dio; che nell’unione teandrica fa di Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo l’unico Re e Signore per diritto divino, per stirpe regale e per conquista. E che, nella magnificenza propria della Santissima Trinità, fa di Maria la nostra Signora e Regina: Figlia del Padre, Sposa del Paraclito, Madre del Verbo.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p3"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Questa Regalità di Cristo e di Maria trovano la propria naturale collocazione in questo tempo di Quaresima, perché non vi può essere la gloria della Resurrezione senza passare per il Golgota. Se Nostro Signore e la Sua Santissima Madre hanno voluto darci questo esempio mirabile, noi non possiamo che prenderlo a modello e disporci, con l’aiuto della Grazia, ad accogliere le croci che la Provvidenza ci assegna come premessa per il premio eterno. E così sia.</span></p>

<p><span>One of Trump’s dreams/delusions announced during his presidential campaign and</span> <a href="https://news.usni.org/2025/03/05/trumps-make-shipbuilding-great-again-order-calls-for-wholesale-overhaul-of-u-s-maritime-industry" rel>again recently</a> <span>is the resurrection of the US ship building industry that for a wide variety of reasons almost no longer exists, which isn’t the only industrial realm he hopes his tariff and other policies will somehow revive, although the likely result is their further sinking. The immediate issue now is the idea of levying another tax—port fees—on Chinese flagged or ships constructed in China that would somehow aid in the resurrection of US ship building. The following portion from today’s</span> <em><a href="https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202503/1330866.shtml" rel>Global Times</a></em> <a href="https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202503/1330866.shtml" rel>op/ed</a> <span>points to the idea’s huge fallacy:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>The strongest opposition came from US businesses. Jonathan Gold, vice president of supply chains and customs policy at the National Retail Federation, stated that industry representatives see "this as more of a threat than the tariffs," as it will directly disrupt the stability of supply chains. Kathy Metcalf, CEO of the Chamber of Shipping of America, bluntly pointed out that replacing existing China-built vessels is not like flipping a light switch. Seaboard, the largest international cargo carrier in the US, operates a fleet of 24 vessels - 16 of which were built in China. Its CEO testified that imposing port charge on Chinese-made ships "unintentionally destroys American-owned carriers." Many business owners and industry representatives further argued that using port fees to revive the US shipbuilding industry is meaningless, as it would push American shippers and small and mid-sized ports into survival crises, drive up prices, slash exports, reduce jobs, shrink GDP, and even deal a devastating blow to US economy. These firsthand testimonies tore apart the illusion of "industrial revitalization" fabricated by some US politicians and exposed the fundamental paradox of protectionism - policies enacted in the name of safeguarding interests often end up hurting the livelihoods of Americans.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Further damage will be caused to the entire international shipping business that will further inflate costs and increase chaos:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>The implementation of port fees will also cause chaos in the global shipping industry, further devastating the already fragile global supply chain. Joe Kramek, President and CEO of the World Shipping Council, calculated that port fees could add $600 to $800 in costs per container. Experts and business representatives from the shipping industry have issued stern warnings: on the one hand, as shipowners from various countries reduce calls at US ports, ports in Canada, Mexico, and other nations may face increasing pressure, and shipping schedules worldwide will be disrupted; on the other hand, the pressure of rising global shipping costs will inevitably ripple through to other countries.</span></p><p><span>Soren Toft, CEO of Geneva-based MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co, the world's largest container shipping company, stated that the total industry impact by the port fees is likely to be more than $20 billion. Representatives from Caribbean countries believe that this measure will also hurt the region's oil and gas industries. Currently, the port fees are still under review, but many shipowners have already refused to offer quotes to US exporters. These voices indicate that the US' unilateral actions are no longer merely "domestic matters" but are harming the multilateral trade system.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>These conditions have yet to be completed, and sane people hope they won’t, but the people making the decisions are ideologues who don’t care about individual consumers or the overall health of the domestic economy as proven by the tariff and trade wars already occurring. The US must confront the conditions that caused its ship building industry to flee. Most of those reasons were revealed in a recent</span> <em><a href="https://sputnikglobe.com/20250323/five-factors-behind-the-decline-of-us-military-shipbuilding-1121674141.html" rel>Sputnik</a></em> <a href="https://sputnikglobe.com/20250323/five-factors-behind-the-decline-of-us-military-shipbuilding-1121674141.html" rel>article</a><span>, “Five Factors Behind the Decline of US Military Shipbuilding,” which is essentially all that remains of that industry:</span></p>

<p>American military shipbuilding peaked in the 1980s, with 150 major warships displacing over 1.2M tons added to the fleet during the decade, including three Nimitz-class carriers, Los Angeles-class attack subs, Ohio-class SSBNs and Ticonderoga, Arleigh Burke, Spruance and Perry-class destroyers, cruisers and frigates.</p>
<p>After the Cold War ended, the US cut its Navy in half, closed shipyards, and lost skilled workers against the background of the country's broader deindustrialization and transition to a service [financialized] economy.</p>
<p><strong>Monopolization</strong></p>
<p><span>In the 90s, large shipyards</span> <a href="https://media.defense.gov/2020/May/18/2002302045/-1/-1/1/PB20_SHIPBUILDING_PLAN.PDF" rel>including</a> <span>Avondale, Fore River, Todd Pacific, Philadelphia, Charleston, and Mare Island were closed, downsized or converted for civilian use,</span> <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/company-reports/1092675-huntington-ingalls-is-a-long-cycle-defense-contractor" rel>creating monopolists</a> <span>among remaining producers like Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) and General Dynamics, and jacking up contract costs.</span></p>
<p><strong>Aging Infrastructure</strong></p>
<p><span>Modern US shipyards are often</span> <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/aerospace-and-defense/our-insights/charting-a-new-course-the-untapped-potential-of-american-shipyards" rel>straddled with</a> <span>aging infrastructure, impacting construction of new vessels, and the introduction of new technologies.</span></p>
<p><strong>Skilled Labor Shortages</strong></p>
<p><span>The loss of skilled tradesmen has taken a particularly heavy toll, with HII’s Newport News yard, building the Gerald Ford-class carriers, constantly</span> <a href="https://news.usni.org/2023/02/08/attracting-quality-workforce-biggest-issue-facing-shipyard-experts-tell-congress" rel>facing</a> <span>a lack of welders, electricians, pipe and shipfitters.</span></p>
<p><span>A House Armed Services Committee hearing this month</span> <a href="https://news.usni.org/2025/03/11/pay-number-one-issue-in-growing-u-s-shipbuilding-workforce-panel-tells-hasc" rel>found</a> <span>that tough working conditions, and wages often just a couple dollars more than those at fast-food joints, are making it difficult for the industry to retain workers. Naval engineers are also underpaid and underappreciated.</span></p>
<p><strong>Design Flaws, Red Tape</strong></p>
<p><span>Design issues have turned some vessels, like the Zumwalt destroyer, Ford-class carriers and Littoral Combat Ships (LCSs) into costly nightmares, shrinking acquisition of Zumwalts</span> <a href="https://thedefensepost.com/2022/11/23/us-navy-upgrades-troubled-zumwalt-destroyers/" rel>from 32 to 3</a><span>, and LCS warships being already being</span> <a href="https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2025/01/disparaged-discontinuedand-indispensable-littoral-combat-ships-take-real-world-ops/402232/" rel>phased out</a> <span>after a decade or less of service.</span></p>
<p>The result? Major cost overruns, program delays and bureaucracy slowing acquisition to a crawl, even as manufacturers collect bigger and bigger paydays.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>There are some other facts revealed in the article not included above. Once the shipyards were closed and the companies financialized, their assets were sold off and the land converted to other uses, which is a huge issue because shipyards can’t be erected in any old place and those best locations are mostly all gone. Then there’re the human and other resources required—all those closed steel mills and depleted iron and coal fields have their own huge impact. As noted above, building new “vessels is not like flipping a light switch.” A massive number of excuses have been put forth over the years in an attempt to provide solace to US politicos which seem to be made to obscure Wall Street’s role in the destruction of US shipbuilding. Even the US-based Heritage Foundation has bemoaned the woeful state of the US Navy and US shipbuilding for many years citing the same reasons as</span> <em>Sputnik</em><span>. Its</span> <a href="https://www.heritage.org/military-strength/assessment-us-military-power/us-navy" rel>most recent report</a> <span>is based on 2023 data which reflects the state of shipbuilding. For those curious about more information on this important global industrial sector, I suggest this article, “</span><a href="https://www.shipuniverse.com/global-shipbuilding-race-of-2025/" rel>Global Shipbuilding Race of 2025</a><span>.” The top three shipbuilding nations are China, South Korea and Japan, in that order. China is likely to stay #1 having recently vowed it “will unswervingly strengthen and improve the state-owned capital and state-owned enterprises.”</span></p>
<p>Despite the rhetoric, there’s no indication Team Trump has any policy aimed at controlling the financializing of what little remains of US industry which is the real reason for the lack of US manufacturing capacity—it was moved overseas by Trump’s financial cronies and the Duopoly they control. Effectively, what we’re being shown is a kabuki theatre designed to take out eyes and minds away from focusing on the massive rent seeking and reaping by financialized monopolies and monopsonistic marketplaces. Congress takes its orders and bribes from the usual Wall Street and AIPAC suspects and fulfills their duty to them without another thought. About the only difference between Team Trump and Team Biden is the level of bombast and lies. Honest media reports from sources outside the Outlaw US Empire help keep us informed of what’s actually being done.</p>

Live Dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche: The LaRouche Plan for Peace and Prosperity (March 26, Noon EDT, 5pm CET)

<p>Discussion between the U.S. and Russia, as led by Presidents Trump and Putin, has walked the world back from the brink of immediate nuclear confrontation, and toward normalized relations between the world’s two largest nuclear powers—an indispensable condition for any viable and peaceful future of mankind as a whole. Within that, negotiations are proceeding toward a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, likely, <a href="https://eir.news/2025/03/news/witkoff-tells-tucker-carlson-about-us-russia-peace-efforts/">according</a> to several sources that include U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, to involve new elections in Ukraine.</p>



<p>On the other hand, the situation in Southwest Asia hangs by a very thin thread, as Gaza has once again, and with the apparent approval of President Trump, been turned into a genocidal war zone under Israeli <a href="https://eir.news/2025/03/news/israeli-defense-minister-threatens-to-annex-parts-of-gaza/">assault</a>. Along with the resumption of direct military attacks, supplies to Gaza have been completely cut off, and food, fuel, and medical supplies are quickly dwindling. Catastrophic injuries and deaths are once again beginning to pile up, mostly among children, women, and the elderly.</p>



<p>The claim is that perhaps now Hamas will be willing to accept the terms offered, with nary a mention made that it was Netanyahu’s Israel which broke the ceasefire deal by refusing to negotiate the promised Phase 2. However, the historical dynamics operating under the surface, those behind Netanyahu in Israel, the transatlantic military industrial complex, and beyond to the historic British and U.S. intelligence role in the manipulating conflicts in the region, tell a more complex tale that can’t be addressed by reacting to mere events.</p>



<p>Not only does the conflict in Southwest Asia not have a purely local cause, but it cannot be solved with a purely local solution. The only viable approach is that called for by Helga Zepp-LaRouche: We must now form a new, global security and development architecture that takes into account the interests of all countries.</p>



<p>For someone who thinks the diseased thoughts of geopolitics, that all nations must secure their interests against those of all other nations, such a new system would never work; for someone who thinks the thoughts of a creative human being, such a proposed system is the natural, next evolutionary step of human society, as we overturn geopolitics and adopt a new way of thinking about human relations which puts the interests of humanity as a whole first.</p>



<p>An example of this principle in practice is the LaRouche proposal of the <a href="https://schillerinstitute.com/the-oasis-plan-the-larouche-solution-for-southwest-asia/">Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia</a>. This plan was <a href="https://eir.news/2025/03/news/jacques-cheminade-presents-the-oasis-plan-at-the-academie-de-geopolitique-de-paris/">presented</a> on March 18 by President of Solidarité &amp; Progrès Jacques Cheminade to a meeting of the Académie de Géopolitique de Paris, at which he rightfully asserted that “there is no other choice than a win-win agreement for the people if we truly want to achieve peace. Only a dynamic of mutual development can escape a dynamic of war. This is the Oasis Plan method…. It has characteristics specific to this region of the world, but to ensure its lasting success, it must be situated within the context of an international architecture of mutual peace and security, beyond this region. The only war worth winning is the war against the desert.”</p>



<p>Peace in one part of the world must lead to peace in all parts of the world. Though the situation with regards to the war in Ukraine is hopeful, we must act rapidly to ensure that triggers aren’t pulled somewhere else to blow up the situation. All concerned citizens of the world must do their part to make the dynamic of peace, as exemplified by the Oasis Plan, the agreed-upon basis of a new world system. Until then, our job is not done.</p>



<p>Take Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s remark to the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPRX9VC8Ujg">94th meeting of the International Peace Coalition</a> as a mission statement: “It is my deepest belief that only by changing the paradigm completely can we avoid a catastrophe.”</p>

President says no classified material was on the chat.\n\nThat journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, says he may be open to releasing more of the chats to show what he says were detailed military plans discussed. \n\nTwo Trump Administration officials on the call – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe – testify today before the Senate Intelligence Committee.\n\nWhite House announces Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a ceasefire in the Black Sea.\n\nMike Huckabee, nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Israel, at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, is asked about the war in Gaza and his past statements supporting Israeli settlements in the West Bank.\n\nSpeaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) talk about budget reconciliation negotiations between the chambers over what parts of the Republican agenda, especially the scope of tax and spending cuts, will go into the final bill.\n\nSocial Security Commissioner nominee Frank Bisignano goes before the Senate Finance Committee, promising to improve customer service. He is questioned about whether there will be cuts in Social Security to offset a planned extension of tax cuts.\n\nDownload the FREE C-SPAN Now App. https://www.c-span.org/c-spanNow/\n\nDiscover the C-SPAN Video Library at https://www.c-span.org/quickguide/\n\nExplore C-SPAN's Free Educational Resources at https://www.c-span.org/classroom/\n\nC-SPAN: Created by Cable in 1979.

<p>During talks facilitated by the United States in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and Russia agreed to cease maritime attacks and attacks on energy infrastructure, including oil refineries, power plants, hydroelectric dams, and fuel storage facilities, among others.</p>
<p>Russia said they would adhere to the Black Sea agreements in return for the reinstatement of Russian banks within the international financial system.</p>
<p>Additionally, the United States has agreed to lift sanctions on Moscow, particularly those affecting agricultural and fertilizer exports.</p>
<p>Ukrainian President Zelensky confirmed that the agreements would take effect immediately and requested more weapons for Ukraine, as well as the imposition of further sanctions on Russia in the event of any violations.</p>
<p>The ceasefire on energy infrastructure is set to last for 30 days, starting from March 18, with the possibility of a mutual extension. However, the Kremlin stated that if either party violates the terms, the other is not obligated to honor the agreement.</p>

<p>To steer the present U.S. administration away from self-destruction, we identify American nationalism and its opponent, the continuing Anglo-American imperial establishment, from our deepest history.</p>
<p>Abraham Lincoln organized Universal Progress.</p>
<p>By contrast, to vividly show Teddy in his murderous transatlantic imperial affiliation, we conjure BANQUO'S GHOST from Lincoln's favorite play, Shakespeare's Macbeth.</p>

<img src="https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67656300005f1fc64c6dbede910be68591e4f7" width="300" height="300"><br><br>Over the past few days in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, diplomats and negotiators from the U.S. have been meeting (separately) with their Russian and Ukrainian counterparts. Today, the White House announced, in a pair of statements, that all three nations are in agreement on several items:The countries have agreed “to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea,” they have agreed to “develop measures for implementing … [the] agreement to ban strikes against energy facilities of Russia and Ukraine,” and they have agreed to “continue working toward achieving a durable and lasting peace.”This significant step forward in resolving the NATO-Russia conflict playing out in Ukraine comes despite efforts to thwart the outbreak of peace. Such efforts include the demands by European Union officials and officials of nations including Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Baltics for massively increased military spending and for “peacekeeping” forces that would prevent peace in the first place. Or consider the state of mind of Ukraine’s acting president, whose taste in art gives a sense of what his inclinations might be. (His favorite painting, hung in his private office, depicts the Kremlin in flames.) The head of Ukraine’s Foreign Affairs Committee has accused Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, of spreading Russian propaganda and called for him to be fired for making “disgraceful, shocking statements.”By overcoming such obstacles, real progress was made in Riyadh, progress the world should applaud.But Southwest Asia is becoming increasingly dangerous. Although he left arch-warmongers John Bolton and Mike Pompeo out of his new administration, Donald Trump’s seeming fixation on Tehran as an implacable enemy leaves him vulnerable to manipulation by those pushing for an Israeli-U.S. attack on Iran. (The U.S. Threat Assessment compiled this year assesses, again, that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, facing increasing outrage over his policies, both domestic and with respect to Gaza, hopes for the protection that he believes comes with being a wartime leader—in part to escape the tightening net of corruption charges circling around him. Will a sinking Bibi pull Trump down with him?The contradictions between Trump’s campaign promises and the policies he is actually implementing are causing increasing blowback among his supporters. How does “America First” square with bombing Yemen and supporting Israeli ethnic cleansing? And how hollow now seem the proclamations of free speech in light of Trump’s misnamed Task Force To Combat Anti-Semitism crushing speech and expression critical of Israeli policy, including through deportations ordered on speech grounds, in violation of the First Amendment.And what about the economy? Trump’s tariffs will not cause the economy to bloom, and his scattershot approach to sanctions and potential port fees for Chinese-built vessels threaten trade and cause businesses and countries around the world to reconsider their relationship to the U.S. market and financial system. Meanwhile, his friends and family are promoting their own cryptocurrencies, supposedly as a way of bolstering the dollar. This is not the way forward.What the United States needs is the economic approach of economist and many-time presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche.This past weekend, The LaRouche Organization held an event in New York City, where speakers presented a strategic overview of the “American System” of political economy, the real means to foster an economic recovery.<br><br><span>(Feed generated with <a href="https://fetchrss.com/" target="_blank">FetchRSS</a>)</span>

This time they’re going after a 21 year-old woman who was born in South Korea but has been in the US since age seven and is a legal permanent US resident.</p><p>The New York Times <a href="https://archive.is/tOF6l">reports</a>:</p><blockquote>“The student, Yunseo Chung, is a legal permanent resident and junior who has participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations at the school. The Trump administration is arguing that her presence in the United States hinders the administration’s foreign policy agenda of halting the spread of antisemitism.”</blockquote><p>This “foreign policy” narrative is the same as <a href="https://theintercept.com/2025/03/13/mahmoud-khalil-legal-free-speech-deport/">the one being used</a> by the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Mahmoud Khalil for his pro-Palestinian activism at Columbia; Trump himself <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114139222625284782">posted on social media</a> that Khalil and his activism are “counter to our national and foreign policy interests.” The legal argument here is that because these activists are obstructing the foreign policy goals of the US government, it’s okay to remove them because they are not citizens.</p><p>What people are missing about Trump’s new policy of deporting pro-Palestine protesters on the grounds that their activism is contrary to US “foreign policy interests” is that it’s not just an attack on the activists’ political speech, it’s also an attack on US citizens’ right to <strong><em>hear</em></strong> criticism of their government’s foreign policy.</p><p>As Frederick Douglass said, “To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.” Even if you believe people who aren’t US citizens should have no free speech rights and that it’s fine for the US government to deport them for criticizing its actions, you can’t use that same logic to argue that the US government should also have the right to prevent US citizens from hearing those criticisms.</p><p>But that’s exactly what the Trump administration is doing. By making it clear that it is deporting pro-Palestinian activists not for any crime but for obstructing their “foreign policy goals”, they are admitting that they are taking action to stop Americans from hearing criticisms and objections to their own government’s actions in the middle east. It’s tantamount to blocking Americans from reading certain political books or viewing certain political websites because the criticisms of US foreign policy contained therein might contaminate them with wrongthink.</p><p>Governments around the world inflict this sort of censorship all the time, but the United States is supposed to have constitutional restrictions on Washington’s ability to violate people’s freedom to hear dissenting political speech. And until very recently, patriotic conservative Americans tended to pride themselves in those freedoms their country provides. But apparently they’re willing to light the whole thing on fire as long as it advances the interests of the state of Israel.</p><p>Americans who are not fully brainwashed into the cult of Trumpism should be asking themselves if this is the kind of country they want to live in, though. Do you really want your government deciding what kind of political speech you are allowed to hear, and protecting your fragile little mind from wrongthink? Or do you want to decide such matters for yourself?</p><p>____________</p><p><em>My work is </em><a href="https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2021/05/24/my-experiments-with-hacking-capitalism/"><em>entirely reader-supported</em></a><em>, so if you enjoyed this piece </em><a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/about"><em>here are some options</em></a><em> where you can toss some money into my tip jar if you want to. </em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU8Yu4WZJ11Il3TZmNiMUFQ?sub_confirmation=1"><em>Go here</em></a><em> to find video versions of my articles.

<p><span>What’s being called the Signal Leak ought to be a disaster for Team Trump. The best explanation I saw today was provided by the</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2fcgth1lZ8" rel>chat between Max Blumenthal and Judge Napolitano</a> <span>that lasted for 30 minutes—It’s Da Bomb! My Send a Message article was about the initiation of an Aggressive Undeclared War on Yemen, which the Signal Chat was all about how to properly spin it since what was done was the #1 War Crime of all putting Trump in the same league as Biden/Obama/Bush/Clinton/Reagan. Genocide Don now has his own illegal war. Max and the Judge also discussed the very illegal, unconstitutional use of an ancient law to deport innocent Venezuelans without allowing them the public hearing that law says they were entitled to. The underlying motive seems clear to me—to escalate tensions with Venezuela to the point of initiating war. Some peace president, huh? And this is no longer a domestic US thing as Team Trump in a manner somewhat different from Team Biden poses a threat to the entire world.</span></p>

<p>"Twenty-four people are confirmed dead in the wildfires so far," and 12 seriously injured, a ministry of interior and safety official told AFP, adding that these were "preliminary figures" and the toll could rise.</p>

Today, the White House announced, in a pair of statements, that all three nations are in agreement on several items:\n\nThe countries have agreed “to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea,” they have agreed to “develop measures for implementing … [the] agreement to ban strikes against energy facilities of Russia and Ukraine,” and they have agreed to “continue working toward achieving a durable and lasting peace.”\n\nThis significant step forward in resolving the NATO-Russia conflict playing out in Ukraine comes despite efforts to thwart the outbreak of peace. Such efforts include the demands by European Union officials and officials of nations including Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Baltics for massively increased military spending and for “peacekeeping” forces that would prevent peace in the first place. Or consider the state of mind of Ukraine’s acting president, whose taste in art gives a sense of what his inclinations might be. (His favorite painting, hung in his private office, depicts the Kremlin in flames.) The head of Ukraine’s Foreign Affairs Committee has accused Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, of spreading Russian propaganda and called for him to be fired for making “disgraceful, shocking statements.”\n\nBy overcoming such obstacles, real progress was made in Riyadh, progress the world should applaud.\n\nBut Southwest Asia is becoming increasingly dangerous. Although he left arch-warmongers John Bolton and Mike Pompeo out of his new administration, Donald Trump’s seeming fixation on Tehran as an implacable enemy leaves him vulnerable to manipulation by those pushing for an Israeli-U.S. attack on Iran. (The U.S. Threat Assessment compiled this year assesses, again, that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, facing increasing outrage over his policies, both domestic and with respect to Gaza, hopes for the protection that he believes comes with being a wartime leader—in part to escape the tightening net of corruption charges circling around him. Will a sinking Bibi pull Trump down with him?\n\nThe contradictions between Trump’s campaign promises and the policies he is actually implementing are causing increasing blowback among his supporters. How does “America First” square with bombing Yemen and supporting Israeli ethnic cleansing? And how hollow now seem the proclamations of free speech in light of Trump’s misnamed Task Force To Combat Anti-Semitism crushing speech and expression critical of Israeli policy, including through deportations ordered on speech grounds, in violation of the First Amendment.\n\nAnd what about the economy? Trump’s tariffs will not cause the economy to bloom, and his scattershot approach to sanctions and potential port fees for Chinese-built vessels threaten trade and cause businesses and countries around the world to reconsider their relationship to the U.S. market and financial system. Meanwhile, his friends and family are promoting their own cryptocurrencies, supposedly as a way of bolstering the dollar. This is not the way forward.\n\nWhat the United States needs is the economic approach of economist and many-time presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche.\n\nThis past weekend, The LaRouche Organization held an event in New York City, where speakers presented a strategic overview of the “American System” of political economy, the real means to foster an economic recovery.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i4.ytimg.com/vi/34yX9ojJhpQ/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

<p>"Ground units of the Sudanese army have successfully taken control of Khartoum International Airport and fully secured it," a military source told Xinhua News Agency on condition of anonymity.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, SAF spokesman Nabil Abdalla said in a statement that SAF forces "have seized control of the militia camp Taiba Al-Hasanab in Jabal Awliya city, which is the militia's main camp and its last stronghold in Khartoum."</p>
<p>The RSF's remaining presence consists of scattered "small pockets," which will be eliminated soon, he added.</p>

<p>In a separate statement on Wednesday, Abdalla said the SAF has also made progress in areas east of Khartoum, and seized control of the first infantry brigade headquarters in the Al-Bagair area on the border between the Khartoum and Gezira states.</p>
<p>The SAF and supporting forces have inflicted heavy losses on the RSF in both equipment and personnel, he said.</p>
<p>Furthermore, video footage shared by army soldiers on social media showed army units deployed along Al-Siteen Street, a key road connecting the eastern, southern, and central parts of Khartoum.</p>
<p>Sudan has been embroiled in a conflict between the SAF and RSF since mid-April 2023.</p>
<p>On Thursday, the RSF announced that it had taken control of the Al-Malha area, which holds strategic significance due to its control over vital trade routes between Sudan and Libya, and which serves as a key crossroads leading to the capital of North Darfur State in western Sudan.</p>
<p>A day later, the SAF said it had regained control of the presidential palace in central Khartoum.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, the SAF released a map for the first time outlining its areas of control and RSF-held territory amid ongoing fighting between the two sides.</p>
<p>The map marked green areas under full SAF control, including Northern, River Nile, Red Sea, Kassala, Gedaref, Blue Nile, Gezira, and Sinnar states. RSF-controlled areas, including West, South, and East Darfur, were marked in red.</p>

Tom Cotton, accused on national TV a group I have worked with for over 20 years, CODEPINK: Women for Peace, of being funded by the Communist Party of China.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>During the hearing CODEPINK activist <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIuWndybyXs" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DYIuWndybyXs&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1743086055944000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0NSIunrzvCYh8KVrM7tiy0">Tighe Barry stood up following the presentation</a> of the Director of National Security Tulsi Gabbard’s lengthy statement about global threats to US national security and yelled “Stop Funding Israel,’ since neither Intelligence Committee Chair Tom Cotton and Vice Chair Mark Warner had mentioned Israel in their opening statement nor  had Gabbard mentioned the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza in her statement either.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>As Capitol police were taking Barry out of the hearing room, in the horrific style of the McCarthy hearings in the 1950s, Cotton maliciously said that Barry was a “CODEPINK lunatic that was funded by the Communist party of China.”  Cotton then said if anyone had something to say, to do so.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Refusing to buckle or be intimidated by Cotton’s lies about the funding of CODEPINK, I stood up and yelled, “I’m a retired Army Colonel and former diplomat. I work with CODEPINK and it is not funded by Communist China.”  I too was hauled out of the hearing room by Capitol police and arrested.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>After I was taken out of the hearing room, Cotton libelously continued his McCarty lie: “The fact that Communist China funds CODEPINK which interrupts a hearing about Israel illustrates Director Gabbard’s point that China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are working together in greater concert than they ever had before.”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Cotton does not appreciate the responsibility he has in his one-month-old elevation to the chair of the Senate’s intelligence committee.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>In today’s polarized political environment we know that the words of senior leaders can rile supporters into frenzies as we saw on Jan. 6, 2021, with President Donald Trump’s loyal supporters injuring many Capitol police and destroying parts of the nation’s Capitol building in their attempt to stop the presidential election proceedings.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>CODEPINK members have been challenging in the U.S. Congress the war policies of five presidential administrations, beginning in 2001 with the George W. Bush administration’s wars on Afghanistan and Iraq, long before Cotton was elected as a U.S. senator in 2014.  We have been in the U.S. Senate offices and halls twice as long as he has. We have nonviolently protested the war policies of Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Joe Biden and now Trump again.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>After getting out of the Capitol Hill police station, a CODEPINK delegation went to Cotton’s office in the Russell Senate Office building and made a complaint to this office staff.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>We are also submitting a complaint to the Senate Ethics Committee for the untrue and libelous statements Senator Cotton made in the hearing.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The abduction and deportation of international students who joined protests against U.S. complicity in the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank, the scathing treatment of visitors who have wanted to enter our country and now the McCarthy intimidating tactics used by Cotton in a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing of telling lies about individuals and organizations that challenge U.S. government politics, particularly its complicity in the Israeli genocide of Gaza must be called out and pushed back.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>And we must push back against U.S. senators who actually receive funding from front groups for other countries.  Cotton has received $1,197,989 from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to advocate for the genocidal policies of the State of Israel.</span></p>

title: US introduces new Green Card restrictions
author: ;RT
hash: ��%�t:�i� &݂T
content:
<p><strong>The Trump administration has paused applications submitted by refugees and asylum seekers</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has put Green Card applications filed by immigrants granted refugee or asylum status on hold, CBS has reported. The decision is related to two executive orders signed by Trump earlier this year.</p>
<p>The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has reportedly instructed officials to suspend requests for legal permanent residency, leaving refugees and asylum seekers into <em>“legal limbo.”</em> It’s unclear when the processing would resume.</p>
<p>In a statement to CBS, the DHS cited a <em>“temporary pause on finalizing certain Adjustment of Status applications pending the completion of additional screening and vetting to identify potential fraud, public safety, or national security concerns, in alignment”</em> with Trump’s executive actions.</p>
<p>Specifically, the move is tied to Executive Orders aimed at protecting the US from <em>“foreign terrorists”</em> and other threats.</p>

        </figure>
    </blockquote>


    

<p>Earlier this month, the DHS instructed more than 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela—who entered under former President Joe Biden’s parole program—to leave the country within 30 days or face deportation.</p>
<p>President Trump also announced a new immigration program known as the <em>“Gold Card,”</em> which would provide a path to US residency and citizenship for a $5 million payment. He described the initiative as a way to attract high-net-worth immigrants who would contribute to the economy.</p>
<p><em>“They’ll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people,”</em> he said. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the proposal would replace the existing EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, which he called <em>“full of nonsense, make-believe and fraud.”</em></p>
<p>Since taking office in January 2025, Trump has signed multiple executive orders rolling back Biden-era immigration measures and introducing tougher immigration controls. They include enhancing vetting for visa applicants, limiting birthright citizenship, directing the armed forces to guard the southern border, and erecting additional barriers.</p>

<div><img src="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/WH47-Social-Share-Card.jpg" data-sanitized-class="ff-og-image-inserted"></div><h2 data-sanitized-id="h-details" data-sanitized-class="wp-block-heading">Summary</h2>
<p>Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 times more potent than heroin, is cheaper to produce and easier to smuggle across borders, fueling the illicit opioid epidemic in the United States with devastating consequences. In 2023 alone, illicit opioids, primarily fentanyl, cost Americans an estimated $2.7 trillion (in December 2024 dollars), equivalent to 9.7 percent of GDP. Of this total cost, 41 percent ($1.1 trillion) is attributed to deaths, 49 percent ($1.34 trillion) to lost quality of life, and 10 percent ($277 billion) to other costs such as healthcare, reduced labor productivity, and crime-related expenses. Alarmingly, 93 percent of opioid deaths are caused by powerful synthetic opioids like fentanyl, which typically originate in China and are trafficked through Mexico.</p>
<p>This number dwarfs even pessimistic estimates of the effects of tariffs, like that of Goldman Sachs, who estimated losses of <a href="https://publishing.gs.com/content/research/en/reports/2025/02/02/01f5b969-d377-4bb2-a6f8-57969353ada8.pdf">0.4 percent of GDP</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/articles/full-cost-opioid-crisis-2-5-trillion-four-years/">CEA previously studied this issue</a> and came up with a smaller number. The primary reasons are because it did not include the cost of reduced quality of life and because the number of deaths in 2015 was 33,000.</p>

<p>Our cost estimates are based on a <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8091480/">2017 CDC study</a> which we have updated to account for inflation and the sharp rise in opioid deaths and opioid use disorder (OUD) since then. According to the DEA, an estimated <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/nchs_press_releases/2024/20240515.htm">74,702 Americans died</a> in 2023, a staggering 1.6 times more than in 2017. Additionally, the number of Americans living with OUD increased by 2.7 times to <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/reports/rpt47095/National%20Report/National%20Report/2023-nsduh-annual-national.pdf">5.7 million</a> during the same period. We have adjusted the calculations to reflect current prices as well as the alarming rise in opioid addiction and deaths. We scale up the loss of life estimates based on the increase in fatalities, while we scale up the other estimates to reflect the increase in the prevalence of those living with OUD. The breakdown of the cost estimates, all expressed in December 2024 dollars, is as follows:</p>
<ul data-sanitized-class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Loss of life:</strong> $1.11 trillion. This estimate is calculated by multiplying the number of lives lost (74,702) by the value of statistical life in the United States and then adding productivity and healthcare costs that arise due to opioid fatalities. We inflation adjusted the $10.1 million value of a statistical life number provided by <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8091480/">NIH (2017)</a> to 2025 dollars ($13.0 million per life). The value of a loss of life is based on market and survey based evidence on what amount of money people are willing to forgo to change the probability of death. For example, many estimates rely on the value of life implied by the increase in wages required for people to take jobs with higher mortality risk.</li>
<li><strong>Loss of quality of life:</strong> $1.34 trillion. This estimate is the product of three factors. First is a survey-based measure for the loss in quality of life for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) compared to those in full health. The measure shows that life with OUD has about 60 percent (0.626) of the quality of life of those in full health. Second is a measure of how much Americans value a year of life in full health. Adjusted for inflation, this value is estimated at $624,410 per person per year. Together these values imply that the lost quality of life costs $234,478 per year for each person living with OUD. We then multiply this value by the prevalence of OUD, estimated to be 5.7 million in 2023.</li>
<li><strong>Healthcare system:</strong> $107 billion. This estimate represents <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27623005/">the additional annual costs incurred</a> by the healthcare system for treating individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) relative to the average annual costs of treating those without OUD. This amounts to $19,000 additional dollars per year per person with OUD. These costs were primarily borne by private insurers, Medicaid, and hospitals providing uncompensated care. Ultimately, these costs are passed on to all Americans through higher insurance premiums, taxes, and healthcare expenses.</li>
<li><strong>Loss of labor force productivity:</strong> $107 billion. This estimate is calculated by multiplying the number of productive work hours lost due to opioid-related deaths, OUD, and incarceration by the average hourly total compensation (wages and benefits) for American workers.</li>
<li><strong>Crime-related:</strong> $63 billion. This figure represents the sum of costs incurred for additional police protection, judicial activities, correctional facilities, and property loss resulting from opioid-related crime.</li>
</ul><h2 data-sanitized-class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2>
<p>The enormous economic cost of the illicit opioid epidemic to Americans, estimated at $2.7 trillion in 2023 alone, underscores the urgent need to control the flow of lethal drugs pouring in from foreign countries. The human suffering and financial burden inflicted by this epidemic are unsustainable.</p>

title: India considers slashing import duties on US goods – media

<p><strong>New Delhi may take the measure to secure a trade deal with Washington and prevent new tariffs</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>India’s government could reduce tariffs on more than half of its $23 billion in US imports as part of the initial phase of a trade agreement being negotiated between the two countries, according to Reuters. This significant concession aims to prevent Washington from implementing reciprocal duties as soon as April 2, which has caused market uncertainty.</p>
<p>According to an internal analysis conducted by New Delhi cited by the report, the implementation of reciprocal tariffs by the US could impact approximately 87% of India’s total exports to the country, which are valued at $66 billion. </p>
<p>To prevent this, India is considering a trade deal that would involve reducing tariffs on around 55% of the US goods that the country imports, which currently face duties ranging from 5% to 30%. New Delhi hopes to find a mutually beneficial solution to current trade tensions.</p>
<p>The development was reported on Monday – ahead of trade negotiations between the two countries that are currently taking place in New Delhi. A US delegation, led by Assistant Trade Representative for South and Central Asia Brendan Lynch, arrived in the Indian capital on Tuesday. Their visit comes after India’s Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal travelled to Washington earlier this month to discuss a Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA), particularly with respect to tariff issues.</p>

<p>Goyal later told the country’s parliament that the government is engaging with Washington in order to eliminate tariffs and other barriers; however, he did not clarify whether any concessions have been made so far.</p>
<p>New Delhi maintained that any decisions on tariffs would not be rushed, according to an Indian Express report, despite Trump’s claim that India had already agreed to reduce its tariffs after being <em>“exposed”</em> for its restrictive trade practices. <em>“They have agreed, by the way. They want to cut their tariffs way down now because somebody’s finally exposing them for what they have done,”</em> he said in remarks from the Oval Office on March 8.</p>
<p>According to government data, the US has a trade deficit of $45.6 billion with India. In the past, US President Donald Trump has been vocal about India’s high tariffs, along with those imposed by other countries, condemning them as <em>“very unfair.”</em></p>

<p>Meanwhile, New Delhi is looking to increase trade with China in order to counterbalance the economic pressure of impending US tariffs and offset potential losses, according to reports. The two BRICS members have been working on normalizing bilateral ties after a diplomatic and military standoff lasting nearly five years, which erupted when their troops clashed along a disputed border in the Himalayas in 2020. </p>

title: Trump launches US election overhaul
author: ;RT

content:
<p><strong>Voters will be obliged to provide proof of citizenship, while mail in voting must conclude before election day</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>US President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a sweeping executive order to overhaul the American election system, including requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration.</p>
<p>The order, titled ‘Preserving and protecting the integrity of American elections,’ calls on states to work with federal agencies and share voter rolls, as well as prosecute election crimes. It also threatens to slash federal funding for states that fail to comply.</p>
<p><em>“Despite pioneering self-government, the United States now fails to enforce basic and necessary election protections employed by modern, developed nations, as well as those still developing,”</em> the text of the order reads, listing measures taken by other nations to make the election process more secure, including the introduction of biometric identification and limiting voting by mail.</p>
<p><em>“Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional republic.  The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election,”</em> the document says.</p>
<p>Among other things, the order requires proof of citizenship for voters to be registered in federal elections. The measure is effectively aimed at doing the same thing as the long-anticipated Republican-backed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act). While voting in federal elections by non-citizens is already a felony, Republicans have long argued that more is needed to restore public confidence in elections.</p>

            
    <blockquote>

        </figure>
    </blockquote>


    

<p>Voting rights groups, however, have been critical of the proposed change, arguing that many voting-age Americans do not have proof of citizenship readily available. According to a 2023 report compiled by the Brennan Center for Justice and other groups, some 21.3 million people, around 9% of US citizens of voting age, do not have such documents on hand.</p>
<p>Trump has long been critical of the US voting system, arguing that it is very susceptible to irregularities and fraud. He has been particularly opposed to voting by mail. Under the executive order, votes must now be <em>“cast and received”</em> before the election day, with federal funding conditional on state compliance.</p>
<p>The move has already faced criticism from various parties that have vowed to challenge it in court. Oregon’s secretary of state, Tobias Read, branded the order an <em>“action against democracy.”</em> His state relies heavily on mail-in balloting.</p>
<p><em>“It is every American citizen’s right to hold politicians accountable at the ballot box. This executive order is a threat to that right and a threat to our responsibility as states to run fair, secure elections. This illegal action against American democracy will be challenged, and it will not stand,”</em> Read said in a statement.</p>

<p><span>Answers to these questions are not easy to come by. Hizbullah has  been uncharacteristically quiet about its military and political situation. </span></p>
<p><span>Its new secretary-general insists it is fine and is learning from its mistakes. He says investigations are underway into security breaches that led to a number of devastating results for the party. </span></p>
<p><span>Not much information has been shared with the public. Clearly security breaches have not been plugged because Israel continues to target its commanders on the ground, mostly as they move in cars or on motorcycles.</span></p>
<p><span>Former Hizbullah MP Nawwaf Musawi (one of the party’s smartest leaders who had slain leader Hasan Nasrallah’s confidence), lately caused a stir within the party and among its general supporters when he spoke candidly about the party’s mistakes.</span></p>
<p><span>He said that instead of talking about Israeli successes, he prefered to talk about the shortcomings that enabled Israel to strike the devastating blows that it d id against Hizbullah’s military and security wings.</span></p>
<p><span>The party has perpetrated a series of mistakes since its 2006 victory that has allowed Israel to enjoy a wide advantage over its formerly formidable adversary.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>The Still Powerful Party</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Hizbullah is nevertheless the largest and most powerful political party in Lebanon, if not in the Arab world. It is even larger than the Sudanese Communist Party at its late 1960s, early 1970s zenith. It can’t be compared to the Ba`th Party of Iraq under Saddam Hussein because membership in Iraq wasn’t as voluntary as in Lebanon).</span></p>
<p><span>Hizbullah has some 100,000 fighters, many of whom have been battle tested in Lebanon and Syria. One of its MPs, Muhammad Ra`ad, received more votes (preferential votes in the latest Lebanese electoral system) than entire political parties like the Phalanges.</span></p>
<div data-sanitized-id="attachment_126058" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption alignright"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-126058" src="https://consortiumnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Paula_Yacoubian_Its_About_Time_MTV_Lebanon_-_Feb_2_2020-e1742929654847.jpg" alt width="294" height="336" data-sanitized-class="size-full wp-image-126058"><p data-sanitized-id="caption-attachment-126058" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption-text"><span>Paula Yacoubian in 2020. <span>(mtvlebanon/ YouTube /Wikimedia Commons/ CC BY 3.0)</span></span></p>
</div>
<p><span>Ra`d received more than 48,000 votes while better known MPs such as Paula Yacoubian received no more than 4,000 votes. Still, Yacoubian, not Ra`d, is chosen by Western media to speak for the Lebanese people.</span></p>
<p><span>With its partner Amal Movement, Hizbullah has been consistently receiving around 95 percent of the Lebanese Shiite vote. Its representation of Shiites hasn’t  been challenged in years despite the avalanche of cash Western and Gulf governments throw at Hizbullah’s Shiite opponents.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Hubris</span></strong></p>
<p><span>But why did Hizbullah suffer devastating blows since its Oct. 8, 2023 entry into the war against Israel in solidarity with Hamas?</span></p>
<p><span>It’s clear Hizbullah (like many big or small powers) suffered from an acute case of hubris. It became intoxicated with its vast powers and great military victories against the mightiest army of the Middle East.</span></p>
<p><span>Its performance in the July 2006 war was by far the greatest humiliation of the Israeli army since the October 1973 war ended to the advantage of Israel, not the Syrian and Egyptian armies.</span></p>
<p><span>Hizbullah dubbed its 2006 triumph “the divine victory” and that may have been a mistake.</span></p>

</div>
<p><span>By accepting the notion of a godlike origin of its success, the party descended into a sense of complacency. It became too confident in its abilities. Its ill-advised intervention in the Syrian civil war on the side of Bashar Al-Asad added to its sense of invincibility.</span></p>
<p><span>Party commanders and members were convinced it was their military intervention, and not Russia’s, that was key to preserving Al-Asad in power until recently.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Infiltration</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Actually Hizbullah’s Syrian intervention facilitated Israeli encroachment into its security apparatus.  The Syrian terrain has been rife with Israeli agents and Syrian armed rebels cooperating with Israeli intelligence.</span></p>
<p><span>They provided each other detailed information about their mutual enemy. The Syrian regime army was also infiltrated by Israeli agents who reported on Hizbullah fighters and commanders.</span></p>
<p><span>It’s clear that Israel was able to compile a detailed profile of the party’s structure and hierarchy and obtain most of its fighters’ names.  Funerals from the Syrian war held in public in Lebanese villages allowed agents to easily report on visitors to the burials.</span></p>
<p><span>Hizbullah fighters entered Syria in processions through known entry points amid  evidence of deep Israeli penetration of Syria before war broke out in 2011.  Imad Mughniyyah was assassinated in 2008 in Damascus. He was the overall supreme commander of all Hizbullah fighters, second only to Nasralllah. </span></p>
<p><span>Shouldn’t that have alerted the party that Syria was suffering an acute case of Israeli infiltration?</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Corruption</span></strong></p>
<div data-sanitized-id="attachment_126059" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-126059" src="https://consortiumnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/6147121858_7666ad6cbd_k.jpg" alt width="2048" height="1533" data-sanitized-class="size-full wp-image-126059"><p data-sanitized-id="caption-attachment-126059" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption-text"><span>Hezbollah and Lebanese flags in a Beirut neighborhood in September 2011. <span>(Nicholas A.

</div>
<p><span>Like the PLO, Hizbullah in recent years suffered from massive corruption. In the past, it was said that Hizbullah itself was not corrupt but that it was  aligned with corrupt regimes (Syria) and with corrupt movements (like Amal).</span></p>
<p><span>But that changed after 2006. Iranian money for reconstruction was not transparently spent, and many Hizbullah officials over billed for their damaged or destroyed homes.  When millions are being dispensed, corruption is the natural outcome with the absence of accountability and tight financial management.</span></p>
<p><span>Before 2006, Nasrallah prevented corruption, as did Mughniyyah. Things changed afterwards, especially when Nasrallah no longer ran the day-to-day affairs of the party.  Prior to 2006, he even knew the salaries of people at Al-Manar TV (the official TV station of Hizbullah).</span></p>
<p><span>Corruption often leads to enemy infiltration, especially when people compromised financially can be blackmailed.</span></p>
<p><span>There were presumably cases like that. That was the norm within the PLO.  To be sure, unlike the PLO, Hizbullah built a formidable fighting machine with its financial resources, while the money the PLO raised failed to produce an effective military force. PLO fighters retreated swiftly when Israel invaded Lebanon, first in 1978, and then in the massive invasion of 1982.</span></p>
<p><span>People in South Lebanon, the southern suburbs of Beirut and the Baalbek region (all strongholds of Hizbullah) went beyond whispering about manifestation of wealth and even extravagance among families of party leaders.</span></p>
<p><span>Hizbullah officials’ wives were seen traveling in large SUVs, escorted by fighters.  Many Hizbullah officials and their children were living very well, certainly better than rank-and-file Shiites of South Lebanon. There were a few investigations of corruption within the party, but they never amounted to anything, and accused officials were restored to their posts.</span></p>
<p><span>And there are talks about “sexual improprieties” among some within the party and rumors of widespread “temporary marriage.”  Like the PLO experience, the Israelis always manage to exploit sexual weaknesses for entrapment or blackmail.</span></p>
<p><span>Even if commanders avoided cell phones and electronic devices, wives had their phones on them. This was presumably exploited by Israeli intelligence to target commanders in the war. </span></p>
<p><span>The party brandished its power internally.  For instance, a Hizbullah security official was quoted saying a judge would be “plucked” after his 2020 port explosion investigation didn’t follow Hizbullah and its allies’ wishes. </span><span>Instead of insisting on a thorough investigation, Hizbullah joined Amal in protests against the judge. </span></p>

</div>
<p><span>When Lebanese President Michel Awn’s term ended in 2022, Hizbullah refused to allow Parliament to elect a successor and insisted on its handpicked candidate, Sulayman Franjiyyah.  Awn was a close ally of Hizbullah, but the party’s refusal to consider an alternative demonstrated its arrogance of power.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Exploding Phones</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Furthermore, the party clearly did not train its cadres on electronic intelligence and ways to avoid the enemy’s penetration and surveillance.</span></p>
<p><span>Hamas leaders in Gaza were university graduates who learned about computers and technology in Israeli prisons and in classrooms. Hizbullah leaders were not as educated and lacked technological skills.</span></p>
<p><span>In the early months of the war, when Israel was managing to kill tens of fighters daily, Nasrallah had to plead on TV for fighters to avoid carrying smart phones.  Osama Bin Laden, in comparison, stopped using all technological devices as early as 1998.  Bin Laden was not spotted by electronic intelligence but by tracking one of his messengers. </span></p>
<p><span><strong>Lost Allies</strong></span></p>
<p><span>Finally, Hizbullah had a wide network of political allies (from all sects) which helped it greatly in 2006. </span></p>
<p><span>The recent war took place after Hizbullah lost its allies, including the chief Christian ally, Tayyar of Michel Awn.  Hizbullah fighters had nowhere to hide or to blend into and their maneuverability was too narrow.</span></p>
<p><span>Hizbullah’s experience during this war is a lesson for armed groups, liberation movements and resistance organizations.

<p>Last week, I was invited to be a guest on ‘The Narrative’ hosted by Burning Bright in order to explain the enigma of “Canada” to Americans. It was a fun show (<a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/Z9twurprWwc">which can be watched here</a>), however the actual theme of the Multipolar Alliance which the host announced as the principal topic was never actually addressed.</p><p>In order to correct that error, I went back onto the Narrative this week to expand on the them ‘The Multipolar Pincer’ in greater detail with a focus on the battles against the Deep State structures led by patriots in Russia and China over the past 30 years.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank"

title: Signal war plans leak: Bombing people is OK, talking about it is not
author: ;RT

content:
<p><strong>Donald Trump’s team has revealed a lot more than just the Yemen attack during the chat with the accidentally invited Atlantic journalist</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>There’s a scandal exciting American mainstream media and minds, and it has to do with bombing. Yet there is an important nuance: it is <em>not</em> the bombing itself that is so scandalizing.</p>
<p>What is troubling many Americans is neither what Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin has rightly called the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians with US bombs and support nor the renewed American air campaign against Yemen. Bombing large numbers of essentially defenseless brown people – men, women, and children – into bloody, dusty pulp, has long been a bipartisan tradition of the Indispensable Nation, especially if most of them are Muslims.</p>
<p>What Americans do find irritating is when their leaders spill the beans too early. And have they been spilling! In a cluster-fiasco reminiscent of those loose-lipped <a href="https://www.rt.com/news/593880-germany-crimea-bridge-attack/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">German generals caught out last year</a> while prattling about launching their Taurus missiles at Russia via Ukraine, a whole gaggle of Washington top officials have made fools of themselves by a ridiculously feckless breach of elementary security.</p>
<p>In the run-up to the recently renewed US bombing campaign against Yemen, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Vice President J.D. Vance – to name only the most prominent delinquents – have all been involved in online chat meetings via the commercial messaging app Signal.</p>
<p>Having such meetings on Signal, instead of via well-established and obligatory secure channels, is ludicrously amateurish: Signal may be encrypted, but spyware can hack it. There are reasons why officials are instructed to use other means.</p>

<p>It is also seriously illegal (no Stormy Daniels issue this one) to be so sloppy, since it infringes on more than one provision of the National Security Act, which is ironic, considering it seems to have been the national security adviser who initially got this trainwreck going.</p>
<p>Because it was Waltz who – somehow – invited a journalist to participate: <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/?gift=QAVT1Qgz97Mzh5O19DC9gqCibCOWG4PmH4xSG_eOjNE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic</a> does of course not belong in meetings preparing a military strike, especially when sharing sensitive operational data. And talking all too frankly about making the mooching European vassals pay, one way or the other. She may have been shunted off to a sinecure at New York’s hapless Columbia University, but the spirit of Victoria Nuland’s <em>“F*ck the EU!”</em> is alive and well in Washington, as this meeting also unsurprisingly showed.</p>
<p>Nobody has yet explained how it happened that Goldberg was included and why no one seems to have noticed the clearly visible presence of an obvious if conspicuously silent outsider in the virtual room. And all that while the secretary of defense was droning on about how secure it all was: The TV show Hogan’s Army was funny; the reality of Hegseth’s army looks silly.</p>
<p>The above, in essence, is what mainstream America is all worked up about now. President Donald Trump and Hegseth have nothing of substance to say in this case: Hegseth messed up royally – as did Waltz and the others – and Trump is the guy who hired them all. So they have switched into attack mode, tearing down Goldberg and The Atlantic. It’s cheap, but it may work, especially since The Atlantic really does have a bad record of stirring up baseless Russia Rage (aka Russiagate) hysteria.</p>
<p>But this time, it’s not complicated: the Signal meetings really did take place; Goldberg was invited, present, and not spotted; and what he has now reported has been <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/us/politics/war-plans-signal-chat-what-to-know.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">confirmed as authentic</a> even by Brian Hughes, spokesman of the National Security Council.</p>
<p>What is unfolding now in US domestic politics is, to be frank, predictable and dull: The opponents of the Trump administration are trying to squeeze every last little drop of dramatic embarrassment for it out of the foul-up. The Democrats are calling for investigations and consequences. Hillary Clinton – remember her? – <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/us/politics/trump-officials-signal-chat-hillary-clinton.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">is gloating</a> that those, especially Hegseth, who almost a decade ago went after her own sloppy and probably criminal use of private technology for government business are now getting a taste of their own medicine.</p>
<p>The Trumpists meanwhile – surprise, surprise – are not having a self-flagellation procession down the National Mall but closing ranks, even demonstratively: The president has called Waltz a <em>“good man,”</em> who <em>“<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/us/politics/war-plans-signal-chat-what-to-know.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">has learned a lesson</a>.”</em> Ouch, that must feel so humiliating, like being dressed down live on The Apprentice. But it’s still the opposite of being fired. For now, at least.</p>

<p>Vice President Vance has denied any disagreements within the administration, that is, precisely the thing he displayed in the Signal chat. There he doubted the wisdom of the attacks on Yemen, not because killing people is a problem, but because he did not like the timing and the fact that Europe was going to profit, as he believes. And so on. The good bad old Washington.</p>
<p>In case you don’t like Trump and his government, please don’t be naïve and make a hero out of Goldberg simply because he is giving them some probably minor trouble. For one thing, though posing as a <em>“liberal,”</em> <a href="https://militarist-monitor.org/profile/jeffrey-goldberg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Goldberg is a highly aggressive Zionist</a>. As a young man, he moved from the US to Israel to enter its military forces. He then served as a prison guard in a large camp for Palestinians, about which he has written a self-revealingly egocentric and, in fact, <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/university-illinois-fires-professor-steven-salaita-after-gaza-massacre-tweets" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">self-incriminating</a> memoir, admitting at least covering up the brutal torture of a defenseless prisoner.</p>
<p>As you would expect, for over two decades Goldberg has consistently used his great media and policy influence to agitate for and embellish American aggression in the Middle East. Clearly, very much in line with what Israeli governments perceive as Israel’s national interest.</p>
<p>In this particular instance, <a href="https://x.com/wikileaks/status/1904382780059869210" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WikiLeaks has rightly asked</a> about Goldberg’s dubious role in this affair:  Why, instead of speaking up quickly, did he <em>“sit on”</em> what he must have known to be real, until the attack actually happened? His <em>“claim that he did not know if the group was real until after the bombing is clearly a construction designed to facilitate an ignorance defense under the espionage act,”</em> as WikiLeaks plausibly notes.</p>
<p>Given his politics, there is another obvious reason why Goldberg did not use his scoop before the bombing got going: Disregard the silly cant about <em>“freedom of navigation”</em> and all that, the real reason why the US has started striking Yemen’s people again is that they resist Israel striking Gaza’s people.</p>
<p>Indeed, Yemen’s true <em>“sin”</em> in the eye of Zionists and their US allies is that, with the partial exception of Iran, it is the only country that, under Ansar Allah’s de facto rule, complies with the 1948 UN Genocide Convention by actually resisting Israel’s genocidal attack on the Palestinians. While Yemen does occasionally lob a well-deserved missile at Israel, its main leverage is blocking much of the maritime traffic through the Red Sea. <a href="https://www.tarikcyrilamar.com/p/a-tougher-world-for-the-biggest-bully-557" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Yemen, the poorest country in the Middle East and one of the poorest in the world, is using a geographical choke point to do the ethically and legally obligatory right thing</a>: fight against Israeli genocide as good as it can, while the collective West is on the side of the genociders. As is Jeffrey Goldberg.</p>
<p>We live in a morally perverse, upside-down world. The repeated bombing of Yemen is part of this world’s insane and evil rules. <em>“Rules-based”</em> this international disorder may be, but if so, its rules are from hell, <a href="https://news-pravda.com/world/2025/03/11/1132992.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">as Russia’s foreign minister has also recently hinted</a>.</p>

<p>Hence, what is really bizarre about the current Signal scandal in the US is what is outside the American media frame, namely the bombings themselves. They are just taken for granted. Because America is a country where they watch bad TV, drink too much fizzy sugar, and also, with the same regularity, bomb the world.</p>
<p>On any given day, it’s more likely than not that the US is bombing – someone, somewhere, for some bad reason or another. Washington has long been addicted to lethally clobbering other parts of humanity from a safe distance, and sometimes at close range, too, of course.</p>
<p>The end of the Cold War made no difference to that bad habit; in fact, it may even have gotten worse: As of 2022 – three years ago already – official surveys found that America and its vassals <a href="https://www.salon.com/2022/01/11/the-us-drops-an-average-of-46-bombs-a-day-why-should-the-world-see-us-as-a-force-for-peace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">had dropped over 337,000</a> bombs and missiles since, in essence, the beginning of this millennium (note that this figure <em>excludes</em>, for instance, the Gulf War of 1990-91 – <a href="https://www.defense.gov/News/Feature-Stories/story/Article/1728715/desert-storm-a-look-back/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">another 88,500 tons of bombs</a> – and the 1990s wars in the former Yugoslavia).  Or, put differently, over 20 years, the US conducted an average 46 airstrikes <em>per day</em>.</p>
<p>Just ask Google’s Gemini AI <em>“How often and how much and where has the USA used air power to bomb since 1990?”</em> The answer will include an impressive – and merely representative, not complete – list of operations all around the globe and a note cautioning that <em>“the ‘how much’ in terms of bombs dropped is difficult to quantify precisely due to the vast number of operations and the variety of munitions used,”</em> while the ‘where’ is also extensive, <em>spanning multiple continents and regions</em>.” Known highlights have included Iraq, the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, and Syria.</p>
<p>In the case of the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/mapping-us-attacks-on-yemen/ar-AA1B1FBn?ocid=BingNewsVerp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new wave of American air attacks on Yemen</a>, the US officially pretends that it is merely (if that is the word) targeting the Ansar Allah movement (usually pejoratively labelled <em>“the Houthis”</em>). But with Ansar Allah the de facto ruler of much of Yemen, including its capital Sanaa, America is, of course, really assaulting the country itself and its people. As of March 25, ten days after these new attacks began, <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-fires-on-sanaa-as-campaign-against-yemen-s-houthis-continues/ar-AA1Bx71b?ocid=BingNewsVerp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">at least 79 people have been killed and more than 100 injured</a>.</p>
<p>Compared with the slaughter Israel is inflicting with massive US support on the Palestinians, and its neighbors too, whenever the fancy takes it, these figures may appear small, for now. Yet these Yemeni victims are being killed for the same abject reason: to execute and shield a genocide that the West is co-perpetrating together with Israel. Yet all US mainstream pundits and politicos can get worked up about is a premature leak of some of these crimes and not the crimes themselves. That is yet another sign of just how entirely lost the West is.</p>

title: EU tells citizens to stockpile food
author: ;RT

<p><strong>The bloc has advised keeping a 3-day emergency supply kit to be ready for a crisis</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>The European Union has advised its 450 million inhabitants to stockpile essential supplies sufficient for at least 72 hours, citing increasing risks of war, cyberattacks, climate change, and disease.</p>
<p>EU Commissioner for Crisis Management Hadja Lahbib stated on Wednesday that the warning reflects a broader strategy to improve civil readiness across the bloc. While not mentioning Russia specifically, she stressed that the Ukraine conflict threatens European security.</p>
<p><em>"For three years in Ukraine, we have seen a battlefield of bombs, and bullets, drones, fighter planes, trenches and submarines.Yes, our European security is directly threatened by this,"</em> Lahbib said.</p>
<p>Several EU countries have consistently named Moscow as a significant threat to regional security. France, Poland, the Baltic states, and Finland have all raised concerns over alleged Russian cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and political interference. They have also described the Ukraine conflict as an example of aggressive behavior that poses a military threat to the bloc.</p>

            <blockquote data-sanitized-class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Today, the EU launches its new <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Preparedness?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Preparedness</a> Strategy. <br><br>“Ready for anything” — this must be our new European way of life.

<p>Moscow has consistently denied any intention to attack NATO countries or the EU. Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed such claims as <em>“nonsense”</em> meant to scare European populations and increase military budgets.</p>

    </blockquote>


    

<p><em>“We want people to be ready, not to panic,”</em> Lahbib said. <em>“Preparedness is not fearmongering – it is common sense in a time of uncertainty.”</em></p>
<p>Under the strategy, the EU is advising households to keep essential supplies, including non-perishable food, bottled water, flashlights, batteries, first-aid materials, and key documents. Citizens are also encouraged to have access to a shortwave radio in case of power or communication outages.</p>
<p>The EU is also planning to create a strategic reserve of key resources, including firefighting aircraft, medical transport, mobile hospitals, and stockpiles of protective equipment for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear incidents.</p>
<p><em>“Today’s threats facing Europe are more complex than ever, and they are all interconnected,”</em> Lahbib said. <em>“From war on our borders to increasingly frequent climate disasters, the EU must be ready to face the unexpected,”</em> she added.</p>
<p>The initiative mirrors long-standing practices in countries such as Finland and Sweden, where civil defense preparations and emergency guidance are more established. Sweden, for example, recently updated its ‘If Crisis or War Comes’ handbook with modern scenarios, including how to respond to nuclear threats.</p>

title: EU ‘rearmament’ plan meets resistance over debt concerns – Politico
author: ;RT
hash: �Ho�/}��QDBx�G�
content:
<p><strong>Southern European countries have expressed opposition to a proposal to boost military spending through loans, according to a report</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>Southern European states have been pushing back against an EU plan to ramp up military spending through loans, amid concerns it could deepen their already heavy debt burdens, Politico reported on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The so-called ‘ReArm Europe Plan’, unveiled this month by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, calls for up to €800 billion ($850 billion) in debt and tax breaks for the bloc’s military industrial complex. The proposal includes a €150 billion loan package and an emergency clause to loosen EU fiscal rules.</p>
<p>However, according to unnamed EU diplomats cited in the report, some countries have <em>“serious doubts”</em> about taking on additional debt. France, Italy, and Spain have been reportedly advocating grants – or so-called ‘defense bonds’ – rather than loans.</p>
<p>Such bonds would require joint EU borrowing on capital markets, a move that needs unanimous approval from all 27 member states.</p>
<p>Von der Leyen has so far avoided backing the idea, wary of opposition from fiscally hawkish states like Germany and the Netherlands, who fear it could set a precedent for shared EU debt.<br><em></em></p>
<p><em>“No Eurobonds,”</em> Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said after a recent EU leaders summit.</p>
<p>Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni criticized the plan’s reliance on national debt, calling the proposed April deadline <em>“a bit too close”</em> and saying <em>“we should have more time [to decide].”</em></p>
<p>Italy and Spain have also urged a broader definition of military spending exempt from EU fiscal limits. Madrid has proposed including border control, cybersecurity, and infrastructure resilience.</p>

        </figure>
    </blockquote>


    

<p>France does not plan to trigger the emergency clause, two EU diplomats said, citing concerns over market reactions and its debt-to-GDP ratio above 110%. Germany is expected to invoke the clause to help fund a €500 billion military expansion but is unlikely to take EU loans since it can raise the money more cheaply on its own.</p>
<p>However, weaker economies have raised concerns that requesting EU loans first could signal financial vulnerability and drive up borrowing costs.</p>
<p>Brussels insists the ‘ReArm’ plan is aimed at countering a <em>“threat”</em> from Russia, an idea Moscow has dismissed as baseless. It also comes amid growing pressure from Washington. US President Donald Trump has distanced himself from supporting Ukraine, while urging the EU to take greater responsibility for its own defense.</p>

<p><span>On 25 March, Lavrov provided information about the negotiations with Team Trump in</span> <a href="https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/2005367/" rel>an interview</a> <span>with Channel One, Moscow. The Kremlin followed later in the day with two press releases that provided additional details. We’ll begin with Lavrov:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> <span>Let's start with your anniversary. You have received many different congratulations. There was even a "marathon" of your wonderful poems. Did you have time to look at everything, read everything, did you have time to answer everyone?</span></p>
<p><strong>Sergey Lavrov:</strong> <span>I am very touched by what I heard, saw and received through a variety of information delivery channels.</span></p>
<p>I want to say "thank you" to everyone. But it is impossible to do this, so it is very opportune for us to meet today.</p>
<p><span>Before moving on to the political part of our conversation, I would like to convey my gratitude to all those who remembered my</span> <a href="https://t.me/MID_Russia/53978" rel>anniversary</a><span>, who not only called and congratulated, but put their hearts into</span> <a href="https://t.me/MID_Russia/53975" rel>the recitation</a> <span>of my modest poems and added some of their lyrical, humorous and many other "findings".</span></p>
<p>First of all, I am grateful to President Vladimir Putin for his high assessment of my work, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, the leadership of the Federal Assembly, ministers – my colleagues, deputies and senators, heads of the media, including, of course, Channel One and our other partners: Rossiya 1, Rossiya 24, TV Centre, NTV – channels where we often speak and convey to our citizens the essence of what is happening in the Foreign Ministry and what we are achieving at the international Arena.</p>
<p>I was also pleased with the congratulations from TNT, where I was not invited, but nevertheless congratulated. Leaders of sports movements, civil society in its various manifestations, of course, my colleagues at the Foreign Ministry. It is impossible to list them all. I have a thick folder on my desk. I have a lot of materials on my phone. There will be a free minute, I will definitely and gladly watch everything. But I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who celebrated and marked my anniversary.</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> <span>The talks in Riyadh are an important issue. What was their task and how did they come out? Please comment.</span></p>
<p><strong>Sergey Lavrov:</strong> <span>The talks ended with President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump reporting on the preliminary results that were achieved there. As the presidents agreed, they discussed, first of all, the issues of safe navigation in the Black Sea. This is not the first attempt.</span></p>
<p><span>The first attempt was made back in</span> <a href="https://www.mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/1823484/" rel>July 2022,</a> <span>when UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, together with President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan, mediated with specialists representing the relevant Ukrainian and Russian agencies and agreed on a "package." It consisted of two parts. The first is to provide facilitated methods for delivering Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea through the straits when inspecting ships. So that there is no forgery, and so that if grain is declared and transported to the point where it is to be delivered, an empty flight for a new batch of grain is not used to deliver weapons.</span></p>
<p>Inspection procedures were agreed. They worked for a whole year. But after that, we were forced to stop this process, at least take a break. Because the second integral part of the "package" was simply sabotaged one hundred percent. It concerned the need to remove all "obstacles" to the export of Russian grain and fertilizers. This was due to the inclusion of all ships that transport Russian agricultural products, including fertilizers, in prohibited lists. Lloyd's, which insures these vessels, inflated the rates. Transferring money for the supply of our products was also difficult. Rosselkhozbank was disconnected from SWIFT. There was a lot of things that turned out to be aimed at inflating prices. European farmers created a situation of unfair competition for themselves, but at the same time, the bias of our Western colleagues was manifested in the fact that Ukrainian grain was dumped on European markets, although its quality was far from meeting the criteria existing in this area.</p>
<p><em><strong>The West did everything to shield Ukraine as much as possible and punish the Russian Federation as much as possible.</strong></em></p>
<p><span>Therefore, when UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, a year after the Black Sea initiative, threw up his hands and said that he was not succeeding, we said that when he succeeded, then let's return to this deal. We simply withdrew from the Ukrainian part, which was approved for a year. The year has expired. We did not extend this deal.</span> <a href="https://www.mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/1829558/" rel>The Memorandum of Understanding between the Russian Federation and the UN Secretariat on Facilitating the Promotion of Russian Food and Fertilisers to World Markets,</a> <span>which calls for removing all obstacles to the export of Russian grain and fertilisers (which account for a much larger share of world markets than Ukrainian ones), is valid for three years and remains in effect until July of this year.</span></p>
<p><span>UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and his representatives are in constant contact with us. They are trying to help in some way.</span> <em><strong>But they are not looking for ways to lift sanctions in principle, demanding that the West (if it really wants to look after the interests of developing countries, the Global Majority, primarily in Africa) lift discriminatory measures in the field of food security</strong></em><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has taken a different path.</span> <em><strong><span>He decided to look for loopholes in the sanctions imposed by the West without demanding that they be lifted. Moreover, in fact, by respecting and implementing these sanctions, which is absolutely unacceptable for any UN official, and even more so for the Secretary-General. Because the</span> <a href="https://www.un.org/ru/about-us/un-charter/full-text" rel>UN Charter</a> <span>states that no employee of the UN Secretariat, including the Secretary-General and his deputies, has the right to receive instructions from any government.</span></strong></em> <em><strong>If the UN Secretary-General looks for "loopholes" between the sanctions, recognising that they exist, then he complies with the decisions that are made in the capitals of the UN member states. And he has no right to do this.</strong></em></p>
<p>Therefore, our negotiators in Riyadh, appointed by President of Russia Vladimir Putin, have reminded their American colleagues of this whole story and said that, given the "track record" of Ukraine itself and the entire Black Sea history, we would like there to be no ambiguity this time.</p>
<p><span>We also recalled that when the Ukrainian part of the initiative expired in 2023 and we withdrew from it after that, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan tried to resume it two or three times. A year ago, he asked for our support so that it would be possible to resume this initiative in a simplified form, without physical inspections of empty ships returning after unloading grain and fertilisers.</span> <em><strong>We were ready to even do this.</strong></em> <span>Then, at the last moment, President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Vladimir Zelensky wanted to agree not to strike at nuclear infrastructure facilities. Although they were carried out only by Vladimir Zelensky himself at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.</span> <em><strong>But since such a proposal came from Kiev, we agreed to this as well.</strong></em> <span>And also without any special verification mechanisms. In other words, we have responded to all of President Erdogan's requests. Including the one that Vladimir Zelensky himself slipped to him at the last moment. We said yes.</span> <em><strong>Then Erdogan called President Vladimir Putin and said, "You know, Vladimir Zelensky has changed his mind."</strong></em></p>
<p><span>Given all these "rethinks", given that every time a truce is suddenly announced, Ukraine agrees to it solely because at the specific historical moment in question, it found itself in a hopeless situation on the battlefield. As soon as there was a pause, immediately within a week or a couple of months, this truce was grossly violated. This was the case throughout the Minsk</span> <a href="https://mid.ru/ru/detail-material-page/1426913/" rel>Agreements</a><span>.</span></p>
<p><em><strong>Therefore, we now need the clearest, most concrete, verifiable and working guarantees and mechanisms</strong></em><span>. As President Vladimir Putin said at a</span> <a href="http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/76450" rel>news conference</a> <span>with President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko a few days ago, he supports US President Donald Trump's initiative to declare a truce for 30 days, and not just a moratorium on strikes on energy infrastructure or maritime infrastructure in the Black Sea, but a truce for thirty days in general. He said that we are in favour of it. But given the length of this line and the ability of the Ukrainian "army" to create provocations...</span></p>
<p>Recently, they hit the Sudzha gas metering station and said that Russia did it itself. Although this is our property, on which the continuation of energy supply to a number of European countries largely depends. Now it is impossible to do this, just as it is impossible to use the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which reflects the interests of business in Kazakhstan and the United States. One of its pumping stations, Kropotkinskaya, was attacked. This damage cannot be repaired quickly. The volume of oil pumped to European consumers will decrease sharply due to another terrorist act by Ukrainians.</p>
<p>President Vladimir Putin said that we were in favour of a truce, but there are nuances: who will ensure the "cleanliness" of the Nazi regime in Kiev? We are also in favour of considering ways to avoid causing any damage to the energy infrastructure. This is not in our interests. As the President said, we are also in favour of resuming the Black Sea Initiative in a more acceptable form for all. It was discussed as a priority in Riyadh.</p>
<p><span>Our position is simple. I have just outlined it roughly.</span> <em><strong>We cannot take this man's word for it.</strong></em> <span>We want the grain and fertilizer market to be predictable, so that no one tries to "discourage" us from it. Not only because we want/wanted to make a legitimate profit in a fair competition, but also because we are concerned about the food security situation in Africa and other countries of the Global South and East, which suffer from these "games" of the West in the field of unscrupulous competition. Prices there are not ruinous at all, but they could be much lower if the West stopped interfering with the free play of market forces, which it idolized when it invited us all into this "kingdom of globalization and freedom."</span></p>
<p>As I have already said, we will need clear guarantees. Given the sad experience of the agreements with Kiev, guarantees can only be the result of an order from Washington to Vladimir Zelensky and his "team" to do this or not otherwise.</p>
<p>I think our American partners have taken this signal. They understand that only Washington can achieve positive results in stopping terrorist attacks and shelling of civilian energy infrastructure that is not related to the military-industrial complex.</p>
<p><span>Europe has now taken a completely different path. Like in the times of Napoleon, Hitler and the Crimean War, it is showing yet another "swiftness" to inflict a "strategic defeat" on our country.</span> <em><strong>As in those years, almost all European countries, with rare exceptions, have been put under arms. Only they are not yet physically fighting against us on the territory of Ukraine, but without them this country would have been defeated long ago, and the life of this Nazi regime would have been terminated.</strong></em></p>
<p>Pumping weapons into the Kiev regime, London and Paris (especially the two leaders, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron), with the support of the not very powerful chorus of the Baltic States and a number of other countries, are not only talking about continuing to pump weapons into Ukraine, but are also talking about some kind of "coalitions of the willing" to deploy some kind of "peacekeeping mission" or "mission to ensure Ukraine's security" after the end of the war. Or even two missions to be deployed in Ukraine: one on the border with the European Union and NATO, and the second from the countries of the Global South (India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, even China). But these "dreamers" are proving their complete political incompetence every day, their desire not only to "contain" Russia, but to "defeat" it (someone even said that it is necessary to humiliate Vladimir Putin), as it turns out, historians can correct me, but I have a feeling that we have already gone through all this: both Napoleon and Hitler – the goals were the same. To achieve these goals, the whole of Europe was conquered by Napoleon and A. Hitler, and in this case it was mobilized.</p>
<p>Now Europe, led by Germany, starting with Ursula von der Leyen, is beginning to seriously consider the issue of remilitarisation for fabulous hundreds of billions of euros in a situation where they are doing "badly" in the economy and social sphere as a result of the fact that the Biden administration "let them off the hook" and sent them to fight the Russian Federation. They have decentralization and a huge number of problems.</p>
<p>This partly explains why they are so ardently demanding not to "surrender" Ukraine, to arm it, not even to stutter that this country should not join NATO and the European Union. French President Emmanuel Macron recently spoke on this topic. They directly contradict the Trump administration. The President himself, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz clearly said that preliminary discussions are underway on the parameters of a final settlement. Donald Trump clearly said that NATO should be forgotten and there was no need to stir up this topic. Joe Biden made a colossal mistake and refused to listen to Russia, insisting that Ukraine would be in NATO, thereby creating unacceptable threats. Waltz and Trump's special envoy Stephen Witkoff said that territorial issues are "the key." Because the territories where the referendums were held have always been Russian in culture, language, religion, and tradition. People want to continue to be associated with Russian culture, which the Kiev regime is legally exterminating.</p>
<p>Rearmament, which President of Russia Vladimir Putin spoke about, is that it is necessary to stop the supply of weapons. And Europe and Vladimir Zelensky say, no, we will not take a "pause."</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> <span>Can the United States and the Trump administration influence Europe today? Why is nothing happening?</span></p>
<p><strong>Sergey Lavrov:</strong> <span>Both US President Donald Trump and his team said that this is a taboo. The territories should be discussed,</span> <em><strong>because we are not talking about some area of land, but about the people who live there and have said that their future is connected with the Russian Federation.</strong></em> <span>And also about the fact that weapons should not be supplied there. On all three points, first of all, Vladimir Zelensky himself (he was rude to Donald Trump in the White House, then left for London, where he was "pinned"), when he returned to Kiev, began to make many more bold statements, including rejecting both the neutral status and the discussion of the territories. No, they say, give us "everything." And what does this mean? That you have banned everything Russian, including the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the sister of the Russian Orthodox Church, the media, and education. Now the Rada has a new bill to ban speaking Russian during breaks at school. Previously, it was only in the classroom. And that they want to return to this country citizens who said "we are Russians" in a referendum?</span> <em><strong>If we, they say, lived with all our rights, we would be Russian citizens of Ukraine. And you are trying to exterminate us, including physically and legislatively.</strong></em></p>
<p>In this situation, it turns out that Europe is not only showing "affront" in relation to US President Donald Trump's analysis of his team, that it is necessary to discuss and resolve the issue of territories without NATO. But Europe also wants to "incite" Vladimir Zelensky himself. When the Europeans talk about "peacekeeping forces" or "security forces," they are saying that at least the part that is now controlled by the Kiev regime or will be controlled by it at the time of some agreement must be urgently "picked up" for itself–-for the British and the French.</p>
<p><span>No one is saying that in the rest of Ukraine, which will return or has already returned to its "native harbor", the linguistic, educational and cultural rights of all-–both Russians and ethnic minorities–-are fully ensured. And when the "remnant" of Ukraine,</span> <em><strong>if it really survives in some form,</strong></em> <span>is taken under the control of the security forces of NATO countries (no matter under what flag), no one is saying that then they will strengthen democracy in the remaining territory. That they will abolish the racist and Russophobic laws that exterminate everything Russian. No one is talking about it.</span> <em><strong>And if so, it means that these security forces will perpetuate the Nazi regime with a ban on everything that in any way reminds of the Russian roots of this country, which was born thanks to the Russians.</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> <span>How should we come to an agreement then? In a conversation with US President Donald Trump, President Vladimir Putin agreed that we would not hit energy facilities (although we did not do so) for 30 days, and then he would immediately arrive at an oil depot in the Kuban. It turns out that this is a kind of "vicious circle."</span> <em><strong>How much patience should we have?</strong></em> <span>It just happened the next day immediately after the conversation.</span></p>
<p><strong>Sergey Lavrov:</strong> <span>There were many more examples. I said that this is a non-negotiable regime. So, this is not only a non-negotiable regime, but I think that there is a new "quality" of these "characters"-–the desire not so much to deceive, but to do some nasty things out of spite, openly and publicly, which directly contradicts what you were asked to do, and you seem to have agreed.</span></p>
<p><span>On March 11, in Jeddah, for the first time, the Kiev regime said that it agreed to a 30-day truce. He immediately shifted the blame to Russia, saying, "Let's immediately agree without question." All sorts of Macrons, Starmers and Vonderleins immediately started shouting that the ball was now in President Putin's court. Although three days before they all said that there was no truce, they needed to pump Ukraine up from a position of strength before sitting down at the negotiating table.</span> <em><strong>They instantly changed their position as soon as the wind changed.</strong></em></p>
<p><span>On March 11, the Ukrainians and Vladimir Zelensky said, "Okay, we are ready for a truce, but now we need to force President Vladimir Putin." On the same day, they sent a record number of drones (about 340) to the central regions of Russia, including Moscow and the Moscow Region. This has never happened before. The West swallowed it all.</span> <em><strong>No one said how dare they, they had just agreed with them, and the Ukrainians publicly stated that they were ready for a truce.</strong></em> <span>Are you now waiting for Russia to respond to you accordingly? They fired 340 drones at exclusively civilian targets. Our air defence system worked reliably.</span></p>
<p><span>We are seeing the same thing now. When the meeting in Riyadh was being prepared, the US administration and I first agreed with the US administration on the basis of an understanding between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump that US and Russian experts would go.</span> <em><strong>But, apparently, in Washington, "such active guys" want to record something as soon as possible. As you know, they invited the Ukrainians there. They arrived a day earlier and stayed after our experts left there.</strong></em></p>
<p><span>Between us (I do not think this is a big secret), in contacts on the eve of the meeting in Riyadh, it was felt that the Americans wanted to put Ukrainians and Russians in "neighboring rooms" and carry out "shuttle diplomacy" between them, and issue some kind of single text.</span> <em><strong>But we explained once again (what our presidents discussed), we have an absolutely unequivocal understanding that the presidents agreed to move in such a way that all this would be reliable, and that no one else would accept unsubstantiated documents.</strong></em> <span>And even those that are adopted with certain "guarantees"—so that our American colleagues take control of the implementation and observance of these guarantees by the Kiev regime.</span></p>
<p><span>This is what we are talking about now. Europe wants in every possible way to "undermine" the role of the United States in the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis</span> <em><strong>and does not want to resolve it on the basis of eliminating the root causes.</strong></em> <span>I mentioned the root causes:</span> <em><strong>NATO, the extermination of the rights of the Russian population, everything that is connected with Russia legally and physically.</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> <span>At the same time, Stephen Witkoff is quite optimistic that a truce will be reached (at first he said in two weeks, now he says by Easter, which is in a month). Do you share his optimism? I know that you are not paid for optimism.</span></p>
<p><strong>Sergey Lavrov:</strong> <span>People often compare the habits and traditions of the Soviet Union with what is also manifesting itself in some Western countries. After all, we had a "five-year plan in four years." After we rejected "godlessness"–-by Easter (perhaps it could have been by Christmas, but here by Easter). I would not ask a question like that. I understand Stephen Witkoff's wish. He is an intelligent and energetic person. He thinks that everyone should understand what he thinks are elementary things. He understood the essence of this conflict, judging by his statements during an interview with T. Carlson.</span> <em><strong>But he significantly overestimates the elites of European countries who want to "hang like a stone" on Vladimir Zelensky's hands in order not to allow him to give up his "weakness."</strong></em></p>
<p>Vladimir Zelensky himself does not want to give up. He realises that his days are numbered, that his "bright image" (as he tried to build it among the people) has long faded, with the exception of the part of the population that reflects radical, ultra-right, revanchist and Bandera views (there are many such people there too).</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> <span>Over the years, relations between Russia and the United States have been steadily deteriorating, even during Donald Trump's first term, and have reached a low point. Why is the President of the United States changing the paradigm of relations with Russia so dramatically?</span></p>
<p><strong>Sergey Lavrov:</strong> <span>I think that he gained invaluable experience during his first term. First of all, with regard to the need to have his own team. Relations deteriorated to a decisive extent because random people gathered around him during Donald Trump's first term. In America, analysts say that the reason for this was the conviction that he would not be allowed to run for president, and he did not prepare very much for his first term. Therefore, there were people who betrayed him.</span></p>
<p>Recently, he recalled his then vice president, the Secretary of State, and his national security adviser, who still criticises him very impolitely (rudely, I would even say). Therefore, Donald Trump is a decisive man, and when he decided to take revenge for the previous election, where Joe Biden won with the votes of millions of "dead people" or people who sent their ballots by mail in huge numbers. Donald Trump decided to get even with this and get what history and the will of the American people are due to him. And he achieved this by conducting his campaign in a completely different way. The speed with which he approved his team in the Senate suggests that Donald Trump began to form it a long time ago.</p>
<p><span>This is a team of like-minded people. They do not hesitate to directly say things that they agree on among themselves and which, in their opinion, reflect the national interests of the American people. When Yury Ushakov and I were in Riyadh and met with Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz (I mentioned it once in an</span> <a href="https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/2002637/" rel>interview</a><span>), Rubio said that Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is in the American national interest, but at the same time he understands that other countries, especially great powers, also have their own national interests. They do not always coincide, and in most cases they do not coincide. But when they do, it would be criminal not to use this coincidence to materialise it into some mutually beneficial, joint material projects in the economy, energy, infrastructure and logistics.</span></p>
<p>The second idea was that when interests do not coincide (such cases are the majority), responsible powers are obliged to do everything necessary to prevent these differences from degenerating into confrontation, especially into a "hot" one.</p>
<p>We supported this approach with both hands. I believe that these are the principles on the basis of which we build our relations with any countries.</p>
<p>These are the same principles that lie in the relationship between the United States and China. They have a lot of disagreements. They often switch to a tough exchange of "pleasantries" across the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. The Chinese say they condemn the U.S. and other Western countries' view of Taiwan as an independent state. They say that they are committed to the peaceful reunification of the motherland, but, if anything, they are ready to achieve this goal of the great Chinese people by other methods. The Americans answer, they say, don't you dare. But at the same time, their dialogue was never interrupted.</p>
<p>I believe that what we experienced under Joe Biden is an anomaly. This does not do credit to politicians, especially those with such experience as Joe Biden. He was proud of his experience. But when you suddenly, like a boy in kindergarten, turn away from a girl or a girl from a boy, saying, "I won't be friends with you, we won't walk in the yard"–-it's stupid.</p>
<p>The fact that now, despite serious differences, we have resumed dialogue is a return to normality. Such a dialogue is necessary. Moreover, much beyond Ukraine is being discussed.</p>
<p><span>Joe Biden has</span> <em><strong>artificially</strong></em> <span>brought the Ukrainian issue to the very top of the international agenda. Many of my friends told us that this topic did not deserve it, that there was an overly exaggerated reaction to our</span> <a href="http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67843" rel>special military operation</a><span>, launched 10 years after we began to warn that it would not lead to good. After the coup d'état, after being drawn into NATO, they warned at all "corners". Even back in</span> <a href="http://www.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/24034" rel>2007</a> <span>in Munich, Vladimir Putin said that</span> <em><strong>such a phenomenon as impunity for the West, its sense of excessive inferiority and exceptionalism, was maturing. Then it all materialized.</strong></em></p>
<p><span>Of course, there are disagreements now. But the interest in restoring Europe's normal energy supply, is it only the interest of the United States and Russia? There is talk about Nord Stream. It will probably be interesting if the Americans use their influence on Europe and force it not to abandon Russian gas. But this is surrealism. Europe and business are now paying several times more for energy than American business. At the same time, people like Robert Habeck, Ursula von der Leyen and Boris Pistorius all say that they will never allow the Nord Streams to be restored.</span> <em><strong>These are either sick people or suicides</strong></em><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>It is normal when there is a conversation. As you know, the prospect of removing obstacles to mutually beneficial (I stress again) joint economic projects was discussed.</span> <em><strong>These are energy, space, and the Arctic.</strong></em> <span>We are two Arctic powers.</span></p>
<p>We are not flattering ourselves. Biden's "partners" have led us too deeply into bilateral relations. But we have consensus on the fact that Donald Trump's people want to make these relations mutually beneficial where possible, mutually respectful where we disagree, and to prevent the disagreements between the two largest nuclear powers from escalating into confrontation.</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> <span>If we do not flatter ourselves, does this mean that we will already be some kind of others in this relationship? What mistakes that we may have made before when building relationships will we definitely not make again?</span></p>
<p><strong>Sergey Lavrov:</strong> <em><strong>"Trust, but verify." This is a great commandment of Ronald Reagan. Donald Trump recalled it. We will not forget it.</strong></em></p>
<p>This is a combination of a civilisational understanding of the current stage of development, when it is necessary to put national interests in the foreground, when it is clear that globalisation was destroyed by the efforts, including those of the previous administration. They began to use the dollar as a weapon. Even before he became president, after the election, Donald Trump said that Joe Biden had made a colossal mistake, if not a crime, when he began to use the dollar to "punish" individual countries. Accordingly, not only those whom he tried to punish by depriving them of the opportunity to use it, but also others began to take a closer look. Now they are punishing Russia, now Iran, Venezuela and someone else. What if one of us does not like it next time? Remember how Joe Biden insulted Saudi Arabia and then had to go to reconcile.</p>
<p>Everyone thinks about the same thing. If suddenly a US administration (each administration can cancel everything that the previous one agreed on) comes and does not like someone who is not on the "black list" now.</p>
<p><span>Maybe in this case it is better to hedge our bets and not only create our own currency, but use national currencies in settlements, and not the dollar or the euro. Europeans are even less predictable people. Payment platforms such as</span> <a href="https://brics-russia2024.ru/about/" rel>BRICS</a> <span>are now being discussed. This process can no longer be stopped.</span></p>
<p><span>US President Donald Trump is a man of action. He does not like to philosophize, he likes to solve problems. He said that the United States desperately needs Greenland for security.</span> <em><strong>We talked about this with the Americans, and I have every feeling that they have understood this.</strong></em> <span>Such comparisons are very important for them,</span> <em><strong>that Ukraine is several orders of magnitude more important for Russia's legitimate security interests than Greenland is for ensuring US security.</strong></em> <span>They understand this.</span></p>
<p><span>By the way, about Greenland. This is a shameful phenomenon. Before the meeting with the US President at the White House, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte expressed the hope that the United States would not "entangle" NATO in the issue of Greenland. What is the result? The person who is obliged to protect the interests of the member states (Denmark, which now owns Greenland, is a member of NATO) and not to allow the territorial integrity of the member states to be violated, says that he is doing this, but does not even want to speak out about Greenland. At the same time, with regard to Ukraine, which is not a member of the North Atlantic Alliance and will never be, Mark Rutte does not hesitate to say that they demand that no one dare to violate the territorial integrity of Ukraine with a single finger.</span> <em><strong>The territorial integrity of Denmark–-please, as much as you want, but do not touch Ukraine. A ridiculous and pathetic person.</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> <span>The Americans want to involve China in the New START Treaty. How realistic do you think this idea is?</span></p>
<p><strong>Sergey Lavrov:</strong> <span>It is up to the PRC to decide. We have said this many times. Beijing has repeatedly commented when this topic has surfaced in the public space. They boil down to the fact that China's nuclear arsenal is incommensurable with the nuclear arsenals of the United States and Russia. When a comparable level is reached, we can think about how the nuclear powers will interact in the future.</span></p>
<p><span>We are still working in the nuclear five at the level of representatives to the UN. Meetings are also held at the level of deputy ministers.</span> <a href="http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67551" rel>At our initiative</a><span>, an online summit was held in January 2022, when the Gorbachev-Reagan formula that there can be no winner in a nuclear war and should never be unleashed was transferred to a five-sided format. The entire nuclear five repeated this formula.</span></p>
<p>We are not against continuing to work in this format. By the way, it has never stopped. It mainly discusses confidence-building measures, things that are not related to any reductions or even to discussing the quantitative parameters of nuclear arsenals and avoiding any incidents.</p>
<p>US President Donald Trump (and Joe Biden before him) says that China should be involved in these talks. We had the following position: first, this is Beijing's business. As he decides, we will fully respect his choice. If we are talking about expanding the circle of participants, then what to do with France and Britain? These two countries, together with the United States, are members of the same alliance, which during the years of Joe Biden, and even before him, did not say much good about us, and during his presidency simply declared us the "main threat." If we are the "main threat" and we are told, let's talk to you, but do not touch these two sides, then this is not fair.</p>
<p><em><strong>The Russian-American dialogue on strategic stability must be restored. We agree with this. Of course, this can only be done on the basis of a return to the principles that underpinned the Treaty on Strategic Offensive Arms and reflected in its preamble, including the link between strategic offensive and strategic defensive arms, including mutual respect and an agreement to conduct business exclusively on the basis of equality. As long as we are, in fact, doctrinally an enemy, what kind of stability can we talk about?</strong></em></p>
<p>We are in favour of negotiations in all areas. We are both for hockey and football. By the way, these are not games, but what people want. In sports, the overwhelming majority of Russian and American masters, as well as masters of any other country, including Western ones, consider it absolutely anomalous what is happening with regard to the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes, as well as with regard to how a man, calling himself a woman, beats a real woman in a boxing match. The administration of US President Donald Trump is aware of the inadmissibility of perverting human essence and traditional values (religious, cultural and moral). This should have a healing effect on the entire Western society. I hope this will happen. [My Emphasis]</p>

</blockquote>
<p><span>The initial steps in the long complex negotiation process have commenced and resulted in a few positive outcomes, while there remains a very large number of considerations or nuances. The capricious and untrustworthy nature of Zelensky is well noted, but it isn’t just him that must be take into consideration since he’s merely a front for the Nazis behind him that the Outlaw US Empire and NATO still refuse to admit exist. And all the legal issues I’ve written about still remain to be solved, while there are others I haven’t mentioned that also apply, the most important being amending Ukraine’s constitution so the president can cede territory. Lavrov broached the previously unmentionable possibility that Ukraine may cease to exist as a state: “And when the "</span><em><strong>remnant</strong></em><span>" of Ukraine,</span> <em><strong>if it really survives in some form.”</strong></em> <span>This issue was just raised by Witkoff as his “elephant” but not in the same context as Lavrov’s words. IMO, Americans are essentially illiterate when it comes to Russian and especially Ukrainian history and have little knowledge of the latter’s artificial construct over time which relates to how it’s likely to be deconstructed. The Nazis don’t want any Russians, yet the Poles, Hungarians, and Slovaks don’t want any Nazis. The Romanians are currently not at all sovereign and because they’re proto-Nazi an EU/NATO controlled Romania would likely allow Nazis entrance. IMO, that’s the real elephant in the room that has yet to even be mentioned by the West, which will make reaching a solution be all the more difficult.</span></p>
<p><span>Now, about the recent reports that Putin mentioned Odessa’s status during the closed session of the Industrialists and Entrepreneurs Congress on 18 March, which appear to stem from a</span> <em><a href="https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/7586520" rel>Kommersant</a></em> <a href="https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/7586520" rel>report</a> <span>about the meeting’s two sessions, including hearsay from the closed session from participants, that resulted in this:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Now, according to my interlocutors, the talks are about the fact that what has been achieved cannot be taken away from Russia and that Crimea, Sevastopol and four well-known territories should be recognized as part of Russia: the Lugansk, Donetsk republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>If that happens anytime soon, Russia will not lay claim to Odessa and other territories now belonging to Ukraine, participants told me.</p>
<p><span>But this point can also move, because "they do not have time to dig in."</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>The above was expanded upon today by an</span> <a href="https://rtvi.com/news/stalo-izvestno-uslovie-putina-dlya-otkaza-rossii-ot-pretenzij-na-odessu/" rel>RTVI report</a><span>, “Putin's condition for Russia's abandonment of claims to Odessa became known,</span><strong>”</strong> <span>which leads with this paragraph:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>Moscow will not claim Odessa and "other territories now belonging to Ukraine" if the West "in the near future" recognizes the Crimea, DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions as part of Russia. This</span> <a href="https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/7586520" rel>was reported by</a> <span>Kommersant special correspondent Andrei Kolesnikov with reference to the participants of a closed meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and representatives of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) on March 18.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>As you see, nothing new is added. That’s then followed by this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>Participants in the closed meeting</span> <em><strong>claim</strong></em> <span>that on the eve of the conversation with US President Donald Trump, the Russian leader spoke not about business, but about Ukraine, Kolesnikov writes.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>As you see, this is hearsay. And there are other reports in other Russian language media that all cite the initial</span> <em>Kommersant</em> <span>hearsay report. I’ve looked for any official word from the Kremlin conforming or denying such words by Putin but have found nothing. Instead, there’s this interesting</span> <a href="https://www.mk.ru/politics/2025/03/23/putin-zabiraet-odessu-tramp-soglasen-velikaya-sdelka-mozhet-dobit-zelenskogo.html?ysclid=m8q9ib4n1l692610899" rel>report by MKRU</a> <span>published on 23 March, “</span><strong>"</strong><span>Putin takes Odessa - Trump agrees": the "great deal" can finish off Zelensky</span><strong>”</strong> <span>that I’ll fully translate</span><strong>:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Some analysts believe that one of the key points of a possible deal between Moscow and Washington could be the transformation of the port of Odessa into the main logistics hub through which the United States will be able to promote its interests in the region. Such a prospect could lead to a change in the status of both Odessa itself and the entire Black Sea region. This is written by international journalist, Tsargrad columnist Igor Pshenichnikov.</p>
<p>The central topic of a possible dialogue between Russia and the United States could be the redistribution of territories and the establishment of new zones of influence. According to information leaked from the White House, Donald Trump is probably ready to consider concessions in favor of Moscow in exchange for control of a significant part of Ukrainian territories. However, the question remains: at what price could such an agreement turn out to be for both sides?</p>
<p>American media report that Trump's entourage made it clear that the issue of Crimea's ownership is no longer subject to discussion: it remains with Russia. At the same time, the US president himself is in no hurry to disclose the details of negotiations with Vladimir Putin regarding the future fate of other Ukrainian territories. The administration believes that we are talking about lands that are already actually controlled by Russian forces - this is about a fifth of the entire territory of Ukraine.</p>
<p>The New York Times reports that the entourage of Acting President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky expressed serious concern about Donald Trump's possible support for Vladimir Putin's additional demands regarding territorial changes in Ukraine. In particular, we can talk about the strategically important port of Odessa. In fact, this means that Kiev was made to understand: Russia insists on the transfer of Odessa under its jurisdiction.</p>
<p>Tsargrad columnist Igor Pshenichnikov expressed the opinion that the issue of Odessa is inextricably linked with neighboring regions. According to him, if we talk about the Odessa region, it is logical to assume that Nikolaev and the surrounding territories should follow. He also stressed that without this, Odessa as a Russian exclave loses its strategic meaning. At the same time, the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, according to Pshenichnikov, are already perceived as an integral part of Russia, and their status is beyond doubt.</p>
<p>Some analysts believe that the terms of a possible "big deal" between Russia and the United States may be completely unexpected for the public. One of these scenarios is the transformation of the port of Odessa into a crucial logistics center through which the United States will promote both its geopolitical and economic interests in the region.</p>
<p>Political strategist Igor Dimitriev suggested that Washington is unlikely to openly transfer Odessa to Russia or agree to completely deprive Ukraine of access to the sea. However, he noted that behind closed doors, various compromise options can be discussed that will suit both sides.</p>
<p>Analysts believe that the best option for the United States could be to turn Odessa into a free economic zone. This is due not only to the city's status as a key port, but also to its importance as a major logistics hub linking European and Asian markets.</p>
<p>If Washington plans to use this transport hub to bring Russian exports to the world stage, Odessa could become the epicenter of the clash of interests of several players at once - Ukraine, Great Britain, the United States and Russia. At the same time, the main beneficiary of such a scheme, according to experts, will be the United States.</p>
<p>Igor Pshenichnikov noted that the failure of the "Ukraine project" forces Washington to curtail it in the most favorable format for itself, presenting itself as a peacemaker. He stressed that in such a scenario, the United States will try to maintain at least a small anti-Russian bridgehead from the remaining territories controlled by Kyiv. The journalist also added that the Americans fear: if they do not have time to consolidate their positions, they may lose all influence in the region.</p>
<p>This alignment, according to analysts, explains why Donald Trump is demonstrating haste and may be ready to transfer Odessa along with the Black Sea region to Russia. Bloomberg is already publishing materials describing the likely division of Ukrainian territories as "assets." Trump's opponents, in turn, express concern that the Republican president, who promised to quickly end the conflict during the election campaign, may agree to concessions to Moscow without taking into account the interests of Ukraine. The final answer to this question, according to analysts, can only be given by a personal meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.</p>

<p><span>I’ve opined that to “give away” Odessa after proclaiming it a “Russian City” during last December’s “Direct Line” would be a huge political mistake by Putin. I provide this</span> <em><a href="https://tass.com/politics/1721001" rel>TASS</a></em> <a href="https://tass.com/politics/1721001" rel>report</a> <span>as a reminder:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Odessa is a Russian city and everyone is well aware of this, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the combined Direct Line Q&amp;A session and year-end press conference.</p>
<p>"The whole southeast of Ukraine has always been pro-Russian, because these are historically Russian territories. Turkey knows this well, the entire Black Sea coast went to Russia as a result of the Russo-Turkish wars. What does Ukraine have to do with this? It has nothing to do with it. Neither Crimea, nor the entire Black Sea coast in general," Putin said in response to a TASS question. "Odessa is a Russian city. We know this. Everyone knows this. But no, they drummed up all sorts of historical nonsense," he pointed out.</p>
<p>At the same time, the president noted that once upon a time "Vladimir Lenin gave away the whole of Ukraine when he created the Soviet Union." "We came to terms with this after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We accepted it and were ready to live in this paradigm," the Russian president emphasized. "But this part, the southeast [of Ukraine], is pro-Russian. It was also important for us," he underscored.</p>
<p>Putin explained that the residents of these territories had always voted for those who "went along with the pro-Russian agenda of Ukraine's domestic and foreign policy," and in general "Russia was quite satisfied with that." "But after the coup in 2014, it became clear to us that we would not be allowed &lt;...&gt; to establish normal relations with Ukraine," the Russian leader added.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Did Putin make his own leak during the closed session? It’s been over a week since and no mention by Peskov, yet there’s plenty of chatter in Russian media as the above news accounts attest. So, while the minutia gets discussed the bigger points are also being thought about. Is the Odessa ploy a ruse to get Zelensky to agree to peace so Ukraine retains Odessa and other regions that are being discussed as being ceded? There’s lots of additional Russian military activity in the Kherson region with Russian forces in control of the islands in the Dnieper delta that are required as a prelude to a river crossing and other signs. IMO, Zelensky is frozen by the Nazis and perhaps MI6 having a gun at his back. What will happen next?</p>

<p><strong>Russia wants to see more people who comprehend it and want to live in peace, the president has said</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>Some people in the West do not understand Russia, yet that fact does not hamper the country’s development, President Vladimir Putin has said.</p>
<p>The Russian president was speaking on Wednesday during a meeting of the supervisory board of the Movement of the First, a Russian organization for children and youth.</p>
<p>”There are people in the so-called West who do not understand Russia. But this does not prevent us from living and developing. This should only motivate us to increase the number of people who understand us and want to live with us in peace and friendship,” Putin stated.</p>
<p>Such a goal could be achieved through extensive work with the youth in particular, the president emphasized. <em>“Success awaits us in this area if we work actively and effectively with young people, with children, with teenagers, those who create the foundation of the country’s future and value this country,”</em> he said.</p>

    </blockquote>


    

<p>Founded in 2022 with Putin’s direct backing, the Movement of the First has grown into a major nationwide organization. According to the president, it now brings together more than 11 million members.</p>
<p>The main goal of the group is helping the country’s young people become successful in their lives, Putin said. Helping a person find an <em>“optimal”</em> path in life is the key to success, he stressed.</p>
<p><em>“Almost every person wants success, even if they think that, in general, they do not need anything and everything is fine. No, in their souls, everyone strives for success. To achieve this success, you need to find your path in life and find a trade to which you are ready to dedicate your life. This is one of the reasons why the Movement of the First was created,”</em> the president explained.</p>

title: Dmitry Trenin: Liberalism is dead, this is what comes after
author: ;RT
hash: ����!�R�SI��
content:
<p><strong>In Trump’s world, great powers don’t preach – they compete</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>The phrase <em>“changing world order”</em> has become a familiar refrain in international affairs. But what’s often missed is how rapidly that change is now unfolding – and who is accelerating it.</p>
<p>Regime changes in international relations are usually the result of crises: wars between great powers or upheavals within them. This was the case in 1939-1945 and again in 1989-1991. Usually, the problems accumulate over years and decades, and the resolution comes unexpectedly: the slow movement of tectonic plates suddenly accelerates dramatically, an avalanche begins that rapidly changes the landscape. We have had the opportunity to observe something similar in recent weeks. The most striking thing is that the main factor in the changes has been the leadership of the state which until now has defended the remnants of the old world order most stubbornly, even fiercely.</p>
<p>The fall of unipolarity, once long predicted and cautiously awaited, has arrived ahead of schedule. The United States, long the enforcer of liberal internationalism, is no longer trying to stop the shift toward a multipolar world. Under Donald Trump, it has joined it.</p>
<p>This pivot is not a mere campaign promise or rhetorical shift. It is a structural break. In the space of weeks, the US has gone from resisting the multipolar order to attempting to dominate it on new terms – less moralism, more realism. In doing so, Washington may inadvertently help deliver the very outcome that previous administrations worked so hard to prevent.</p>
<p>Trump’s turn has broad and lasting implications. The world’s most powerful actor has abandoned the guardianship of liberal globalism and embraced something far more pragmatic: great power rivalry. The language of human rights and democracy promotion has been replaced with <em>“America First,”</em> not just domestically, but in foreign relations as well.</p>
<p>The new US president has shelved the rainbow banners of BLM and the alphabet soup of Western liberalism. Instead, he waves the American flag with confidence, signaling to allies and adversaries alike: US foreign policy is now about interests, not ideologies.</p>

            
    <blockquote>

        <figure>
            <img src="https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2025.03/thumbnail/67dedbde85f5402d002937b4.jpeg" alt="RT">

        </figure>
    </blockquote>


    

<p>This is not theoretical. It is a geopolitical earthquake.</p>
<p>Firstly, multipolarity is no longer hypothetical. Trump has shifted the US from an enforcer of unipolarity to a player in multipolarity. His doctrine – <em>“great power competition”</em> – aligns more with the realist tradition than with the post-Cold War liberalism that dominated Washington for decades.</p>
<p>In this view, the world is made up of sovereign poles: the US, China, Russia, India – each pursuing its own interests, sometimes in conflict, sometimes overlapping. Cooperation arises not from shared values, but from shared necessities. This is a world Russia knows well – and one in which it thrives.</p>
<p>Secondly, Washington’s pivot to realism means a fundamental shift in how it engages with the world. The era of liberal crusades is over. Trump has defunded USAID, slashed <em>“democracy promotion”</em> budgets, and shown a willingness to work with regimes of all types – so long as they serve American interests.</p>
<p>This is a departure from the binary moral frameworks of the past. And ironically, it aligns more closely with Moscow’s own worldview. Under Trump, the White House no longer seeks to export liberalism, but to negotiate power.</p>
<p>Thirdly, the West, as we knew it, is gone. The liberal <em>“collective West”</em> – defined by shared ideology and transatlantic solidarity – no longer exists in its previous form. The US has effectively withdrawn from it, prioritizing national interest over globalist commitments.</p>
<p>What remains is a fractured West, split between nationalist-led governments like Trump’s and more traditional liberal strongholds in Brussels, Paris, and Berlin. The internal clash between these two visions – nationalism versus globalism – is now the defining political struggle across the West.</p>
<p>This struggle is far from over. Trump’s dominance may look assured, but domestic resistance remains potent. If Republicans lose the 2026 midterms, his ability to pursue his agenda could be blunted. He is also constitutionally barred from running again in 2028, which means time is short.</p>

        </figure>
    </blockquote>


    

<p>As the West fractures, the <em>“World Majority”</em> – an informal coalition of nations outside the Western bloc – grows stronger. Originally coined to describe states that refused to sanction Russia or arm Ukraine, it now represents a broader realignment.</p>
<p>The World Majority isn’t a formal alliance, but a shared posture: sovereignty over submission, trade over ideology, multipolarity over hegemony. BRICS, the SCO, and other regional formats are maturing into genuine alternatives to Western-led institutions. The global South is no longer a periphery – it’s a stage.</p>
<p>We are witnessing the consolidation of a new <em>“Big Three”</em>: the US, China, and Russia. India is likely to join them. These are not ideological allies, but civilizational powers, each pursuing its own destiny.</p>
<p>Their relations are transactional, not sentimental. China, for example, has managed a tightrope walk during Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, maintaining a strategic partnership with Moscow while safeguarding access to Western markets.</p>
<p>That’s not betrayal – it’s good diplomacy. In the multipolar world, every player watches their own flank. Russia respects that. And increasingly, it acts the same way.</p>
<p>Moscow’s place in the new world is another issue. Russia has emerged from the past two years more self-reliant, more assertive, and more central to the international system. The war in Ukraine – and the resilience of Russia’s economy, society, and military – has shifted global perceptions.</p>
<p>Russia is no longer treated as a junior partner or regional power. It is now engaged on equal terms with Washington, Beijing, and New Delhi. This shift is visible not only in diplomacy, but in global logistics: new Eurasian trade corridors, expanded BRICS cooperation, and increasing use of national currencies in trade.</p>

    </blockquote>


    

<p>Having confirmed its status as one of the world’s leading powers as a result of the Ukraine conflict, Russia is in a position to take its rightful place in this world. We must not indulge in illusions and relax. America’s turn to realism is the result of the success of the Russian army, the resilience of the Russian economy and the unity of the Russian people.</p>
<p>What matters now is to build on this momentum. The US may have pivoted to realism, but it remains a competitor. Russia must continue strengthening its technological sovereignty, deepening ties with Asia, and pursuing a foreign policy anchored in pragmatism, not nostalgia.</p>
<p>Russia must continue to observe the internal battles in the West – especially the US presidential cycle and tensions inside the EU. But it should no longer hinge its policies on Western acceptance or approval. Moreover, Moscow’s relations with Western European countries are becoming increasingly strained against the backdrop of its dialogue with Washington.</p>
<p>Western unity is increasingly conditional, transactional, and riddled with contradictions. France, Germany, and Italy may face political turbulence. Integration may falter. Russia’s engagement should be tactical – eyes open, cards close to the chest.</p>
<p>There is no point waiting for the new world to be declared – it is already here. We have moved beyond theory. Now begins the contest for position. The world has become multipolar not because anyone willed it, but because power itself has shifted. Trump did not cause this alone. But he has – perhaps unwittingly – accelerated the process.</p>
<p>Russia’s job now is not to prove the old order wrong, but to ensure it claims its place in the new one.</p>

title: Zelensky aide demands EU combat troops
author: ;RT
hash: ~�jh]V�o��طA�
content:
<p><strong>Ukraine does not need peacekeepers, but soldiers ready to fight, according to Igor Zhovkva</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>Western European countries should deploy combat troops to Ukraine ready to fight, rather than to conduct peacekeeping, a senior aide to Vladimir Zelensky told AFP on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Igor Zhovkva made the appeal ahead of a Paris summit of the <em>“coalition of the willing”</em> – countries across Europe and beyond that are ready to provide security guarantees to Ukraine.</p>
<p><em>“We need serious, trained troops... who are ready to fight,”</em> he told AFP.</p>
<p>The official clarified that Kiev is not seeking European forces to engage directly with Russian troops but rather to bolster Ukraine’s defensive capabilities.</p>
<p><em>“We are not talking about soldiers who will fight with Russia... but about those who will defend, who will deter,”</em> he said.</p>
<p>Led by France and the United Kingdom, the coalition’s discussions have included the potential deployment of a 30,000-strong <em>“reassurance”</em> force to secure key cities, ports, and infrastructure, as well as air-policing missions.</p>
<p>Moscow has previously warned that the deployment of NATO military personnel to Ukraine – even with the stated purpose of peacekeeping – would constitute direct involvement of NATO countries in a war against Russia. Moscow has also accused France and the UK of deliberately escalating tensions in Ukraine to undermine efforts to resolve the conflict by the US and Russia.</p>

        </figure>
    </blockquote>


    

<p>However, the composition and mandate of such a force remain under debate. While some EU leaders advocate a robust military presence capable of engaging in combat if necessary, others express reservations about escalating the conflict. Germany and Poland, for instance, have shown reluctance, emphasizing the need for defensive support without direct involvement in combat operations.</p>
<p>Washington’s position further complicates the situation. US President Donald Trump’s administration has rejected committing American troops, focusing instead on diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire. This has led some EU nations to consider taking greater responsibility for Ukraine’s security, with French President Emmanuel Macron stating that Europe must <em>“step up”</em> its commitments.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Zelensky arrived in Paris for a meeting with Macron ahead of the summit. The two are expected to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine and the potential deployment of European forces. According to Le Monde, Macron will reaffirm France’s commitment to increasing military and financial aid for Kiev.</p>

<p><span>A short,</span> <a href="https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/2005662/" rel>specific interview</a> <span>for the Vesti program builds on the 4 February essay he wrote that I translated. Lavrov’s very dedicated to educating people on this topic:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> <span>What are the main geopolitical principles laid down in the decisions of the Yalta Conference?</span></p>
<p><strong>Sergey Lavrov:</strong> <a href="https://idd.mid.ru/exhibition_materials_idd/k-80-letiyu-yaltinskoy-krymskoy-konferentsii-1945-g-/" rel>The principles</a> <span>were simple. Recently, I had the opportunity to answer questions on this topic. I even wrote</span> <a href="https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/1994357/" rel>an article</a><span>, because they began to say more and more often: "You see what is happening in Europe. It has lost its grip. America is now on its own. In general, it wants to manage everything everywhere, to [their] benefit and not to owe anything to anyone." The Yalta-Potsdam system has exhausted itself. Let's come up with something new.</span></p>
<p><span>The point is not that the system is bad in international law. The international legal embodiment of Yalta and Potsdam is the</span> <a href="https://www.un.org/ru/about-us/un-charter/full-text" rel>UN Charter</a><span>. Who can be against its principles?</span></p>
<p><span>Read it.</span> <em><strong>There you will not find a single line that would cause rejection among normal people.</strong></em> <span>The UN is based on the sovereign equality of states. How could it be otherwise, when everyone is equal?</span> <em><strong>This is what we are taught in Orthodoxy and in other world religions.</strong></em></p>
<p><span>It is necessary to ensure equality and the right of nations to self-determination. The right of nations to self-determination is at the heart of decolonisation, which took place 15 years after the creation of the UN and after the approval of the Charter. When the African peoples finally conclude that the people who govern them (from the capitals of the metropolises) through "inspectors on the ground" do not reflect their interests. Just like the ultra-nationalists who came to power in Ukraine after</span> <a href="https://newzealand.mid.ru/ru/press-centre/news/neudobnaya_pravda_o_gosperevorote_2014_goda_na_ukraine_/" rel>February 2014</a><span>. It was immediately clear that they did not reflect the interests of the population of Crimea, Donbass and Novorossiya. This is obvious.</span></p>
<p><span>The General Assembly, in one of its</span> <a href="https://www.un.org/ru/documents/decl_conv/declarations/intlaw_principles.shtml" rel>documents</a> <span>(when it specifically analyzed all the principles of the UN Charter),</span> <em><strong>came to a consensus that it is necessary to respect the territorial integrity of any state whose governments respect the right of nations to self-determination, and by virtue of this they represent the entire people living on this territory.</strong></em></p>
<p>It is clear that those who are now leading Ukraine under the "puppeteer" of Western patrons do not represent the interests of a huge part of the population. Crimea and Donbass, Novorossiya–-these are long-closed issues. Given how the results of the referendum in these territories are reflected in our Constitution.</p>
<p><span>There is also the principle of respect for territorial integrity. I have already spoken about it.</span> <em><strong>In order for your territorial integrity to be respected, respect your people</strong></em><span>. Do not forbid him to speak his native language, remember his history, raise his children the way your grandfathers, great-grandfathers, fathers and mothers raised you.</span> <em><strong><span>This is also about the UN</span> <a href="https://www.un.org/ru/about-us/un-charter/full-text" rel>Charter</a><span>. It says that it is necessary to respect the rights of any person, regardless of race, gender, language or religion.</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span>The canonical religion and language in Ukraine are prohibited for Russian speakers. The West with the slogan "human rights" is "rushing" around the world, raising this banner for any reason, blaming Venezuela, Iran, us, China, who knows who.</span> <em><strong>In any bilateral and multilateral process, the West always says that it is a beacon of human rights, the rule of law.</strong></em></p>
<p>Hinting at President Donald Trump's coming to power in the United States, Ms von der Leyen said that European values (democracy, human rights and the rule of law) are under "enormous threat." This is said by a woman who categorically does not want to see laws on the extermination of everything Russian (language, media, culture, banning the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, a sister church for the Russian Orthodox Church), which were adopted by the Nazi regime of Vladimir Zelensky (and before him Petr Poroshenko).</p>
<p><em><strong>Such hypocrisy on the part of the West means only one thing: they have not reconciled themselves to the fact that a different time has come, that multipolarity has already come.</strong></em> <span>Everyone should be equal and respect each other, compete fairly. After all, the West tried to persuade us when the Soviet Union disappeared, that now a new era has come, "the end of history." We are all now based on the same principles: globalization, fair competition, the presumption of innocence. Everything has been discarded and thrown away.</span></p>
<p>In the latest statements by the same Ursula von der Leyen and other leaders of the European Union (most leaders, I do not want to offend everyone) it is simply "obvious" that no matter what, "this is how we interpret democracy." In Ukraine, it is possible to ban the Russian language. Try to ban French in Switzerland or English in Ireland (now they are "butting heads" with the Irish there). If English is banned in Ireland, look at what the "cry to the heavens" will be. There are many similar examples. It was decided that in Romania C. George Georgescu will not run for president, although the country's Constitutional Court cleared him of all suspicions. And the Central Election Commission said: "We don't care about the Constitutional Court, the President ordered us not to let 'this' in, because he does not 'scold' Vladimir Putin and Russia.</p>
<p><em><strong>Therefore, the "genetic" property of the West to constantly feel like a hegemon continues to undermine the foundations of the Yalta-Potsdam system. This is a very fair system</strong></em><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>Realizing that we are going to talk about the 80th anniversary, I took a quote from F. Roosevelt, the then American president, who spoke in the US Congress in March 1945 following the Yalta Conference. He said:</span> <em><strong>"The structure of universal peace cannot be created by one person, one party or one country. There cannot be an American, British, Russian, French, Chinese world. There can be no world of large countries or small countries. There must be a peace that is based on the cooperation of all mankind."</strong></em> <span>This is also a statement of the essence of the principles of the UN</span> <a href="https://www.un.org/ru/about-us/un-charter/full-text" rel>Charter</a><span>, which the current leaders of the European Union have forgotten. [My Emphasis]</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Outlaw US Empire also needs to become enlightened for it remains the West’s vanguard. Just weeks after FDR provided those outstanding words he passed away and was replaced by a person who didn’t believe in those words and who gathered around him people having similar opinions. And thus, when the UN Charter came into legal relevance on 24 October 1945, Truman and the USA were already deeply in violation along with the UK and France. The USSR was also grappling with many aspects of the Charter since it now occupied the enemy nations that tried to eliminate it during WW2 and was trying to arrange a policy to deal with that reality. The three Western nations just went about their usual colonial. hegemonic ways and have never really ceased. The UN/Yalta/Potsdam system isn’t at fault here; it’s the nations that determined they weren’t going to obey the new system that have made it appear to be dysfunctional. And then there was one that was created that is also a gross violator of the Charter and every tenet of civilized human behavior. Does the UN need reforming? Yes, and Lavrov is the first to admit and detail its shortcomings which are mostly administrative and bureaucratic. Yes, I do find it very difficult to understand how Russia can negotiate with the Outlaw US Empire when the Americans are abetting Genocide and committing further acts of Aggressive War.</p>

title: Poland only has ammo for two weeks of war – security chief
author: ;RT
hash: Q%��n�w*�Z�i kR5
content:
<p><strong>The Ukraine conflict is giving Warsaw time to rebuild its military capacity, a top Polish official has said</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>Poland has ammunition to hold the line for up to two weeks in the event of war, until allied forces arrive, the head of the country’s National Security Bureau has said.</p>
<p>Dariusz Lukowski told local broadcaster Polsat News on Wednesday that Poland has been increasing arms production to build sufficient capacity to resist a potential Russian attack. The NATO member shares a 144-mile border with Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave.</p>
<p>Moscow has consistently denied having aggressive intentions toward NATO countries and insists that the Ukraine conflict was triggered by the military bloc’s expansion toward Russia’s borders.</p>
<p>Asked whether Poland’s reserves might only last for five days of war, Lukowski said that was <em>“possible in many areas and types of ammunition,”</em> though not across all categories of munitions.</p>
<p><em>“I believe that depending on how the fighting unfolds, we could maintain defensive operations for a week or two with the current level of stockpiles,”</em> he said.</p>

        </figure>
    </blockquote>


    

<p>According to Lukowski, the situation is most critical when it comes to ammunition for older weapons systems, for which production has already ceased.</p>
<p>Lukowski said Poland has been draining its stockpiles to supply weapons to Ukraine, but emphasized <em>“this is being done very cautiously,”</em> and added that <em>“at this stage, we are replenishing those stockpiles.”</em></p>
<p>He also said that as long as the Ukraine conflict continues, <em>“we are gaining time to rebuild our [military] potential – the capacity to produce and replenish those stockpiles.”</em> Poland is among several NATO members who argue that Russia poses a threat.</p>
<p>Warsaw has launched a $2.6 billion ‘Eastern Shield’ project to beef up its eastern border, with officials indicating that anti-personnel landmines could play a key role.</p>
<p>Moscow has repeatedly ridiculed Western claims that it intends to attack NATO or EU states, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed such statements as <em>“nonsense.”</em> Putin has also suggested that the supposed threat of a Russian attack is being used by European politicians to scare their citizens to extract more resources from them and justify increased military spending.</p>
<p>Russian officials have also blasted the EU’s increasing military build up as reckless and escalatory. The Kremlin says the bloc’s confrontational rhetoric and plans could hamper the chances of finding a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict.</p>

title: Germany’s AfD more popular than ever
author: ;RT
hash: ���������W�NH9,3
content:
<p><strong>The right-wing party is only 3.5% behind the country’s top conservative CDU/CSU alliance, a new INSA poll shows</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>The right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party enjoys record high public support, according to polls conducted by the Institute for New Social Answers (INSA).</p>
<p>The latest poll, released by INSA on Tuesday, indicated 23.5% support for the party, while the top conservative alliance, between the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), polled at 27%. The figure constituted a 1.5% drop since the CDU/CSU achieved victory in Germany’s February 23 general election.</p>
<p><em>“This is the highest value ever measured for the AfD in the INSA opinion trend,”</em> the head of INSA, Hermann Binkert, told Bild daily.</p>
<p>The AfD has gained nearly three points in polls since the election and is currently just 3.5% behind the CDU/CSU alliance. The Christian Democrats alone polled at 21%, and their Bavarian sister party fetched a further 7% for the alliance, Binkert noted. </p>
<p>The INSA poll sampled the opinions of some 2,004 respondents, representing various social groups throughout Germany. </p>

        </figure>
    </blockquote>


    

<p>According to the pollster’s estimates, the party’s public support could reach as high as 30.5%. Other parties, however, still maintain higher estimated ceilings, with the CDU/CSU theoretically able to reach up to 42%, while the Social Democratic Party (SPD) could get up to 39.5%, according to INSA’s analysts. </p>
<p>The CDU/CSU emerged as the strongest force in last month’s parliamentary election with 28.5% of the vote, while failing to get an absolute majority. The party is currently in coalition talks with the SPD, which suffered a crushing defeat during the election, garnering a record-low 16.4%. Should the two forces reach a coalition, however, they would hold 328 seats in the Bundestag, comfortably surpassing the 316-seat mark to get a majority. </p>
<p>The AfD solidly secured second place during the election, receiving 20.8% of the vote – a twofold rise from the 10.4% they got in 2021. Despite the result, the party remains ostracized by the other major political forces, which refuse to cooperate with it, and is commonly labeled ‘far-right’ by officials and media alike. </p>

title: ‘They listened carefully’: Russian senator offers a glimpse into talks with US
author: ;RT
hash: ���鍭f� �IT�
content:
<p><strong>Russian Senator Grigory Karasin gave some details of the conversation with his American counterparts in Riyadh</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>Russian and American delegations spent nearly 12 hours in closed-door expert-level talks in Riyadh on Monday, in what Russian Senator Grigory Karasin has described as an <em>“open”</em> and <em>“detailed”</em> exchange of views that marked a rare moment of sustained direct engagement between the two powers.</p>
<p>The high-level consultation, ordered by Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump following their recent discussion, aimed to lay groundwork for future negotiations across a broad range of geopolitical and security issues, including the Black Sea Initiative and energy infrastructure security.</p>
<p>Karasin, who chairs the Federation Council’s Committee on International Affairs, shared insights into the unusually long and intensive session, which ran from morning until late evening with only brief pauses. Speaking after the talks, he emphasized the professionalism of the atmosphere and the effort made by both sides to understand one another’s positions.</p>
<p><strong>Q: <em>Mr Karasin, what was the atmosphere like during the talks in Riyadh?</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Grigory Karasin:</strong> We held them from the morning until eleven o’clock at night, with a few breaks. It was intense work and the atmosphere was normal from a professional point of view, quite acceptable for both delegations and demanding in terms of the presentation of the material and the relevance of the issues discussed. I would like to note that the discussion was open, and the issues raised by each side were discussed in sufficient detail.</p>
<p><strong>Q: <em>How difficult or easy was it to get through to the American representatives?</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Grigory Karasin: </strong>First of all, we must not forget that this was a meeting of experts that took place after the conversation between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. And it was the leaders of Russia and the United States who ordered it to be held. In the course of the discussions, the necessary material was worked out, as well as proposals that would help move forward the negotiation process led by the leaders of the two states.</p>

        </figure>
    </blockquote>


    

<p><strong>Q:</strong><em><strong> The negotiations lasted almost 12 hours. What does this indicate? That the discussion was difficult or that the range of issues discussed was wide?</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Grigory Karasin: </strong>The range of issues was indeed quite wide. But that is not the point – it is simply that the positions of the parties were outlined in some detail. For example, the position of the Russian Federation on the Black Sea Initiative, on other issues. We wanted our negotiating partners to understand our thinking, our approaches, our philosophy, if you like. And in this case we did not waste any time.</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong><em><strong> Do you think the Americans were open to understanding Russian approaches?</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Grigory Karasin:</strong> I would like to think so, they listened to us very attentively. I can say that by the end of a full day of negotiations, both sides had gotten used to each other and began to speak more directly, without ambiguity.</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong><em><strong> Will the format of expert group meetings continue in the Russian-American negotiations?</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Grigory Karasin: </strong>Our group will continue to work on the instructions of the Russian president. If it is deemed necessary to discuss additional issues with our American partners, new meetings are of course possible. But we have no plans for this as of now.</p>
