George W. Bush can't catch a break. In the same week as his "brutal invasion" gaffe, he fell victim to Russian pranksters. In a prank phone call, Bush appears to admit the US broke its promise not to expand NATO.
In a bombshell editorial, the New York Times criticises US officials for "bellicose statements" that "do not bring negotiations any closer", and suggests that Ukraine will have to make “painful territorial decisions".
Is foreign policy even crazier than public health? A few weeks ago, one "expert" with more than 100K followers said we should "eliminate nuclear Russia", adding "some nukes can explode, but they will explode anyway”.
In a speech yesterday, former president George W. Bush referred to "the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine." This gaffe highlights an important point.
Yesterday, Ukrainian fighters besieged in Mariupol surrendered to Russian forces. But Western media called it an "evacuation". Why are they going around describing things in transparently misleading terms?
Why didn't the US back Zelensky? The New York Times wrote earlier this year that his government could be overthrown by far-right groups if he “agrees to a peace deal that in their minds gives too much to Moscow”.
For the first two years of the pandemic, Iceland and Australia did not see any spike in excess mortality. That has now changed, casting further doubt on claims the vaccines are 90% effective against death.
In April, the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO told the New York Times: "We are using the Ukrainians as our proxy forces". Since then, several US politicians have confirmed this *is* a proxy war.
A recent article in the Times claims that our ministers "did their best" during the pandemic, since we finished in the middle of the Covid death table. But the article ignores Britain's dismal economic performance.
In defending his country’s own neutral stance, the Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni accused the West of “double standards”, describing NATO’s bombing campaign in Libya as a “criminal and unacceptable act”.
