Already in the (very) early 1990s there was a sign that foretold what the US intended was to bring about in Eastern Europe & Ukraine. Back then I didn't make too much of it but now with the war in the Ukraine it made much more sense, the pieces started to fall in their proper place in the geopolitical puzzle.

In 1990 or 1991 the socalled "East European Development Bank" was founded. It was meant to "build up" eastern Europe. But the one country that was excluded from this "development charter" was Russia / Soviet Union. Coincidence ??? Now I realize that that was far from random, coincedence. Now I realize what the meaning was of this decision / plan.

There is no doubt in my mind that these thorough analyses and personal experiences are legitimate and the truth about the Ukrainian war. It’s also no doubt in my mind that people that willingly are promoting the NATO war against Russia and the expansion of NATO against the border of Russia are responsible for currently over a million deaths in the proxy war in Ukraine.

Those people are considered as psychopaths. It’s plain malignant evil psychiatric disorders leading the western politics towards war against Russia and China.

The specter of return of the extreme right to power in Brazil seems to evoke very little concern in these analyses

More broadly, with extremely rare exceptions, we see no reference to Brazil in English language analyses of the significance of BRICS to geopolitical and world economic trends in general

By the way, greetings from Rio de Janeiro! I have another question: why is it that no reference is ever made in these analyses to Brazil, a nation that was and is central to the creation and development of the BRICS community? President Luis Inácio Lula da Silva also participated in the efforts to get Zelensky to negotiate.

Thank you for posting this. It is very valuable. One observation: it would have been useful if they had noted the dates of each of these presentations. We can estimate from the context, of course, but particularly in the case of your own presentation and that of Lawrence Wilkerson, I wished I knew when you were both speaking. Also, in every case, I missed knowing what audience and sponsoring organization was being addressed

“Russia will become the USSR again this year,’ said a member of the Russian State Duma.

Deputy Wasserman believes this is inevitable, as continental empires tend to quickly restore themselves in one form or another.

Russia was a continental empire before there was a Soviet Union.
