Ukraine Demonstrates It Is A Mercenary For Western Imperialism

It has been nearly four and a half years since the Russian intervention into Ukraine instigated by the United States and other Western nations. Ukraine, through its alliances with terrorist organizations on the African continent and in Syria, and now through its attack on an Iranian civilian ship, is demonstrating that it is a tool of Western imperialism. Clearing the FOG speaks with Phil Wilayto of the Odessa Solidarity Campaign about the long history of Ukraine's far right white supremacy elements, the 2014 US-backed coup and the West's efforts to prolong the war on Russia to serve their imperialist interests. 

The Enduring US War On Russia

In his farewell address of January 1961, Dwight Eisenhower warned Americans against the “acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex,” and the danger that “public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.” Sixty-five years on, Eisenhower’s warnings have been repeatedly and tragically vindicated. American democracy hangs by a thread, while the military-industrial complex, now including Silicon Valley, runs American foreign policy over the objections of the American people.

Ukraine Isn’t Winning

There is an ongoing Ukrainian propaganda campaign to depict the country as winning the conflict with Russia. The campaign is accompanied by drone attacks on energy targets within Russia. While burning fuel tanks at this or that of many Russian refineries may look impressive the effects on Russia have so fare been mere nuances. Ongoing drone attacks on Crimea have led to inconveniences for the inhabitants of the island. The Ukrainian campaign is supported by the Europeans who are trying to pull the U.S. back into the conflict. The U.S. however had never left.

Kremlin Warns Of ‘Devastating Response’ To Massive Drone Attack

Moscow’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned on 18 June that an attack by any NATO country would instigate a “decisive and devastating” retaliation, following what has been described as the largest Ukrainian air attack on Russia in years. “Once again, I would like to emphasize that in the event of aggression by any NATO state against any Russian region, our response will be decisive and devastating for those who initiate such a reckless move,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova declared.  "And no brigade commanders of the West, as they call themselves, no capabilities, potential, or defense lines will help them.

Xi, Putin Pledge New Era Against Western ‘Unilateralism’

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged to deepen strategic coordination, expand economic cooperation, and push against western dominance in global affairs during talks in Beijing on 20 May. Putin said Moscow and Beijing would keep coordinating positions in the G20, World Trade Organization (WTO), World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), and New Development Bank. “Of course, we will continue to closely coordinate our positions,” Putin said, adding that both sides aim to align the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

A Weak Left Stands By As Russia Stands Up For Cuban Sovereignty

Donald Trump recently bragged that he was “on a roll” after kidnapping President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela and beginning the process of turning that country into a U.S. vassal state. Venezuela was the first domino to fall and the U.S. planned for Cuba to be next. An important part of this strategy was to end Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba, along with threats of lawfare indictments against Cuban leadership as was done against Maduro, and demands that President Miguel Diaz-Canel step down. Already weakened by 67 years of unilateral coercive measures and the imposition of a State Sponsor of Terrorism Status, which increased the economic damage of the U.S. maximum pressure campaign, Cuba was in great danger.

Russian Oil Tanker Brings Help For Cuba

Streets and hospital corridors at night in Cuba are dark. Cars and buses don’t move. Cubans walk or ride bicycles. Trucks don’t arrive to remove trash, and so it burns. Offices, production units, and operating rooms are closed down. Older people and babies are dying when they shouldn’t have to. It’s been more than three months since a regularly scheduled oil tanker arrived in Cuba’s ports, with all incoming energy shipments halted since the U.S. government on Jan. 29 imposed punishing tariffs on any nation sending oil to Cuba. Finally, this past weekend, came a reprieve

IDF Threatens ‘Elimination’ For Russian Leaders Who ‘Wish Israel Ill’

Israeli military spokeswoman Anna Ukolova has drawn outrage in Moscow after threatening that Russian authorities who “wish Israel ill” could be subject to “elimination,” while suggesting Israel could hack into Russian closed-circuit television cameras to identify and track targets. Asked by a journalist with Russian radio broadcaster RBC whether Israel had access to Russian traffic cameras, Ukolova declined to answer directly but warned that “Khamenei’s elimination shows our capabilities are serious” and that “no one who wishes us harm will be left aside.”

Gulf States Condemn Iran Retaliatory Strikes; Russia Denounces ‘Unprovoked’ War

Persian Gulf states condemned Iranian missile strikes targeting US bases on their territory in retaliation for the US-Israeli “pre-emptive” assault on Iran, calling them violations of sovereignty, while Russia denounced the US-Israeli assault and urged diplomacy, in statements issued on 28 February. Qatar condemned the targeting within its territory with Iranian ballistic missiles, describing it as a “flagrant violation” of its national sovereignty, saying the retaliatory strikes targeting US bases amounted to “a direct infringement on its security and territorial integrity,” and warned it “reserves its full right to respond to this attack.”

To Whom Are Our Liars Lying; What Is The Point Of Their Lies?

To make the case that those who purport to lead the Western post-democracies lie routinely about what they are doing and why they are doing it will not help you win friends and influence people. That they are incessantly deceitful has been too obvious to too many people for too long. Never forget your Dale Carnegie and the imperative always to say something interesting. Lately something interesting in this line has occurred to me. It came to me last autumn — on Oct. 25 to be precise. I was reading The New York Post, as one must to keep one’s head clear in our complicated world, and came upon an opinion piece headlined “Vlad’s war of words.”

Ship Carrying Russian Fuel Heads To Cuba

The Sea Horse ship carrying Russian fuel is heading to Cuba amid the island’s energy situation and defying US President Donald Trump’s sanctions to impose tariffs, Bloomberg reported. According to the media outlet and data from maritime intelligence firm Kpler Ltd, the ship could be carrying about 200,000 barrels of Russian diesel fuel. They reported that its arrival is scheduled for early March, according to Kpler’s chief oil analyst, Matt Smith. For his part, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov previously stated that Russia is in contact with its Cuban partners regarding oil shipments to the island, amid the tightening of the US blockade.

Bombs Which Polish The Skulls Of The Dead

On 5 February 2026, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) expired, ending the last surviving legal constraint on the strategic nuclear arsenals of the United States and the Russian Federation. New START, which was signed in 2010 and entered into force in 2011, should have been replaced by a successor agreement. The treaty limited strategic warheads and delivery vehicles deployed by each side and established a verification regime of inspection, notification, and information exchange. These measures were not cosmetic; they were thin threads that restrained the most destructive machinery ever assembled.

Moscow: US And Russia ‘No Longer Bound’ By New START Limits

The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it believes the US and Russia are no longer bound by New START, the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the two powers, which is set to expire on Thursday. “In the current circumstances, we assume that the Parties to the New START are no longer bound by any obligations or symmetrical declarations in the context of the Treaty, including its core provisions, and are in principle free to choose their next steps,” the ministry said in a statement issued on Telegram on Wednesday, the day before the treaty officially expires.

All Unquiet On The Ukrainian Front

Sometimes wars have occasions that can be read — immediately, soon or in time — as turning points, clarifying moments. D–Day, June 6, 1944, is an obvious case: The Allies and the Red Army were in Berlin less than a year later. The Tet Offensive, which began 58 years ago next week (Can you believe it?), is another: All the victory-is-near illusions the American command had cultivated for years collapsed. There were many more casualties at the altar of imperial delusion, but the war in Southeast Asia was on the way to over. On Jan. 8 Russia attacked Lviv, the city in western Ukraine, with an Oreshnik missile.
