Russia

Today, the world stands at a crossroads—a dangerous yet transformative moment—marked by the collapse of traditional power structures and the emergence of a multipolar world order. This transformation is not merely a matter of geopolitical reorganization; it signifies a break from decades of Western domination, especially by the United States and its key allies, and offers an opportunity for historically oppressed peoples to rise and align with the ascending powers in global politics.

The historic turning-point that started the climb-down from 25 July 1945 occurred on 9 October 2024, by means of an event that was buried in the news (almost as deeply hidden as 25 July 1945 had been), even in the few places where it was reported at all, when Reuters headlined (skillfully playing-down and hiding its shatteringly historic importance) “Zelenskiy awaits new summit date after Biden postpones Germany trip”.

The Russian intervention in Ukraine was the result of a trap set by the West to force the Kremlin into choices that in Western plans should have led to Russia's defeat and ultimate submission. But reality often differs from our expectations and Russia has instead shown uncommon and heroic resistance. At the start of the Special Military Operation, the big boys of the West (sic) and their pimps rubbed their hands in anticipation of a victory that was already improbable at the time and now seems increasingly unlikely. Others, on the other hand, have stood up and continue to do so, loudly denouncing the dangers of the crisis before our eyes and the existential threat that has pushed Russia into action.
