People who've followed my posts over the past 3 years may know at this point that I'm a pretty big fan of the journalist Patrick Lawrence. It's certainly pretty clear if you put a search for my posts with Lawrence in it...

Curious to hear opinions: who really derailed the peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia that Trump was reportedly trying to push forward? According to leaks, one side was ready to make compromises, but at the last moment someone made a sharp turn. At that time, Zelensky was in close...

The article from which this thread gets its name is the editor-in-chief of Russia in Global Affairs, but what he said is closely mirrored by what I suspect is an American author whose substack name is Simplicius. I'll put them both below. First, Fyodor's article...

Alik Bahshi Putin's Appeasement Trump seems to have kept his promise to stop the war between the victim of aggression - Ukraine and the aggressor - Russia, which...

Just read about the upcoming Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska – and I'm stunned. They're planning to discuss Ukraine's future...without Ukraine at the table! After all the "nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine" promises, how did Zelensky allow this? We American taxpayers have poured billions into...

Matt Taibbi just came out with this article: https://www.racket.news/p/the-deep-state-is-alive-and-well The theme of Tulsi Gabbard's efforts to further expose Russiagate has certainly been brought up before. Earl made a thread of it a few weeks ago here...

(I'm leftist/liberal) The president of the US Trump and Nanrenda Modi are working out a trade deal. They're already having tariffs in other countries including India. They're cutting the tariffs for India because of this upcoming trade deal...

I'd considered copying the name of an article I read on the subject, but I changed my mind, as the article title sounds more optimistic than I can believe. That being said, I do think it is cause for -some- optimism, just of the more guarded variety. Here's the article I read...

I imagine the increasingly violent actions of ICE may have had something to do with it. Quoting the introduction and conclusion of the article that shares the name of this thread: ** The Department of Homeland Security was ordered to stop making arrests in southern California without probable...

Hard for me to read this type of thing, but it looks like some here really need a lesson on what ICE is doing, so here goes... ** "ICE was conducting a raid using disproportionate displays of force against local farmworkers and our agricultural community," said U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, who was...

I haven't read the whole article from which this article gets its name. I think reading the title alone was more than enough, but I did read a bit further than that. Quoting the introduction and the part where Jazzmin's father died: ** ICE didn’t start abusing immigrants when Trump took office...

The article from which this thread draws its title is mostly paywalled, but I think the non paywalled portion is still quite interesting. Quoting it below: ** A new CIA review faults top Obama intelligence officials for "procedural anomalies", while ignoring the core deceit in their allegations...

While I don't think that Israel has actually -declared- war on any other country, it's certainly -acting- like a country at war with various other middle eastern countries. From Palestine (if you agree that it's a country) to Lebanon, Syria and now Iran, Israel has certainly kept itself busy. I...

Just finished reading Dennis Kucinich's article that shares the name of this thread, thought it was quite good. Quoting the introduction and conclusion of his article below: ** The Untied States of America? By deploying troops without state consent, the President is overriding state sovereignty...

Great article I just read with the title of this thread. Quoting the introduction and conclusion below: ** Wessie du Toit June 4, 2025 Few people have heard of Lee Hanley — or William Lee Hanley Jr, in full — a businessman and political donor from Greenwich, Connecticut. Yet by the time of his...

For years, we've watched the Democratic Party don its sanctimonious mask, preaching devotion to the working class and vowing to slay the dragons of power with righteous fervor, haven't we? It's an old song, and we've long since memorized the dissonance between their honeyed words and their...

Just finished watching John Oliver's piece talking about Trump and his relationship with the press, thought it was quite good. It can be seen here: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07JQr5W3970&t=913s&ab_channel=LastWeekTonight Here's the relevant description of the video: ** John Oliver...

In the spring of 2022, Ukraine and Russia were reportedly on the verge of a peace agreement in Istanbul, but Zelensky chose to walk away. Now, three years later, with the country in ruins and the West growing weary, we find ourselves back at the point where everything could have concluded...

I know there are a -few- people here who question the Covid 19 vaccines, at least for children. John Leake, the author of this article I link to below is much more than simply -skeptical- of the Covid 19 vaccines, and it looks like he understands the feelings of people like me who think they...

I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread on President Trump, seeing as how I definitely think he's a subject that's worth talking about, being the President of the United States. People here certainly found a previous thread I made on something Trump had done here to be interesting, so...
