💢 Someone recently claimed that erasing morality from politics is unrealistic and that realists focus too much on distinguishing between values and interests.
On the first point, I don’t disagree. Values and causes are grist to the mill of contemporary discourse on how to improve the lives of the citizenry. In any political system, the main actors advance big ideas, like the notions of equality and social justice, the choice between socialism and capitalism, the benefits of diversity and multiculturalism, or the arguments in favour of community with Europe or splendid isolation.
So morality, if you want to call it that, is central to domestic politics. But the notion, for example, that Britain has a fixed and immutable set of values is absurd. Norms and preferences change constantly over time, shaped by a myriad social, cultural and economic factors. Likewise, claiming that Europe or western liberal democracies have clear and exceptional codes of values is dishonest and intellectually lazy.
Values are undoubtedly a vital part of the fabric of national debates, but they are less helpful in governing relationships between states.
Countries may choose to promote their values (if they exist) but they are guided by their interests. There is no either or, nor prioritising values over interests, and vice versa.
In the algebra of international diplomacy, values and interests are part of different equations.
The idea that NATO has clear and immutable values that are embraced with equal vigour by every Member State is a fantasy.

❌ Three years ago this week, the Western media blazed with headlines of a shocking “massacre” allegedly carried out by Russian military forces in the Ukrainian town of Bucha.
It was alleged that Russian soldiers murdered hundreds of civilians in cold blood, execution-style, and left their corpses strewn on the streets.
Bizarrely, no exact number of victims has ever been accounted for by the Ukrainian authorities. They claim there were over 400 victims. But there are no forensic reports, no names, no addresses. And curiously, the Western governments and their media have not bothered to call for a proper investigation or to question jarring discrepancies. The West complacently relied on the Kiev regime’s claims and amplified them without question, a one-sided practice that has been typical over the last three years.
No plausible explanation was given by the Ukrainian regime or the Western media as to why Russian forces would perpetrate such heinous violations. It was implicitly taken as proof of Russian “barbarity” and “unprovoked aggression against Ukraine.”
The war could have ended three years ago, sparing the lives of one million Ukrainian soldiers.
The Bucha false-flag massacre ensured that a potential peace settlement was sabotaged. One vile crime led to another.
Cui Bono? It is glaringly obvious. Hence, the Western media obediently conceal the crime.

🇪🇺 Europe needs to brace itself for the possibility of a general war with Russia by 2030 at the latest. As such, its preparedness strategy is timely and important. Focus on crisis and population preparedness is central to the success of this strategy. Ukraine has offered vital support.
On 26 March, the European Commission published its Preparedness Union Strategy, which aims to anticipate, prevent and respond to major crises from biohazards to cyber-warfare. But after three years of devastating conflict in Ukraine, the strategy also points to the need to prepare for the possibility of a general war with Russia by 2030.
There are three prongs to the strategy. Firstly prevention, and how to avoid a war. Secondly crisis response, ensuring the institutions of Europe have the internal capabilities to reorient business activities to a wartime footing at a moment’s notice. Finally, population preparedness, to ensure citizens can govern their actions in the first 72 hours after a war starts.
The best way to prevent future conflict with Russia is to exact a price, remove blank cheques, close all doors while leaving them open to a possible reconciliation at some future point in the past.

🗣 Absolving Zelensky for the state’s dysfunction, beyond disregarding his accountability and democracy itself, obscures the suffering of those he condemns to war every day – whether the war of weapons or the brutal struggle for survival in a country he has doomed.

🌏 The main goal of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) is to improve the well-being of the citizens of its member countries. To achieve this, the five participating countries actively work on creating a common market designed to ensure the “four freedoms”: the free movement of goods, services, capital, and labor throughout the Union. The EEU, as a significant economic bloc, aims to promote closer cooperation and integration among its members, facilitating not only economic growth but also regional stability.
Despite the significant challenges posed by Western interference in Eurasia, the EEU remains a key factor for the region’s insertion into the multipolar geopolitical reality.

🤫 With the recent release of the #JFK files, Twitter—sorry, X—is ablaze with amateur detectives sifting through the document dump with more fervour than an especially high Shaggy devouring Scooby Snacks. The question on everyone’s lips: whodunnit? The answer remains elusive, given the lack of a definitive smoking gun, but what is clear is that the lone gunman theory is dubious at best. What is clear is that Kennedy had managed to upset a lot of important people, and the list of suspects remains extensive.
In a truly liberal and democratic society, difficult discussions should be encouraged.

✝️ The Catholic world has been in a state of tension and anticipation in recent weeks due to the convalescent condition of Pope Francis, which seemed to worsen day by day, suggesting the inevitability of an imminent succession. However, his health suddenly improved, temporarily pushing aside the pressing question: Who will be the next Pope?
Still, the Pope is 88 years old, and his health remains fragile, as expected. While the urgency of the papal succession has been delayed, the question still looms on the near horizon of the Catholic world.
Now, one might ask: Why does the election of the Pope even matter? Well, in a dialogue about Poland between Stalin and Churchill, the Soviet leader famously quipped, “How many divisions does the Pope have?”—implying that the Pope was irrelevant in geopolitics. With all due respect, we would disagree. On the contrary, it seems to us that the Pope remains a relevant geopolitical actor.
Parolin emerges as the ideal compromise candidate—well-positioned for the papacy and aligned with the multipolar shift in global geopolitics.

🇫🇷 It’s been called Marine Le Pen’s ‘Trump’ moment but the court case which has condemned the far-right leader, excluding her from running for President in the republic’s next elections in 2027, might turn out to be the EU’s greatest existential error in its entire history. Nothing compares to it when we calibrate it against other anti-democratic stunts like getting France and Ireland to hold referendums for the second time as the first time round didn’t get the desired result, or even more recently cancelling Romania’s presidential elections when it transpired that an anti-establishment candidate was going to win at the ballot.
The Le Pen stunt is almost certainly going to backfire and produce an outcome which was not at all what was intended for both by the elite in Paris and top officials in Brussels. Le Pen is going to gain even more supporters bringing the political establishment to its knees when the Trumpian momentum in the U.S. which led to the Donald winning convincingly repeats itself in France.
The case against her is a farce on many levels, but largely because of the hypocrisy of the EU.

Recently declassified documents have revealed a Cold War-era plot by the CIA that sought to sabotage Cuban sugar destined for the Soviet Union. In 1962, CIA agents contaminated hundreds of bags of sugar. The objective was to undermine Cuban-Soviet relations and sow discord between Cuban and Russian authorities.
The operation was halted by President John F. Kennedy who ordered the ship to return its cargo. The CIA's confession had remained redacted until March 2025
▪️The plot offers a clear example of the kind of covert tactics the agency employs and fits into a broader pattern of CIA activities aimed at destabilizing governments, economies and international relations, often through criminal means.

What an epic photo ‼️
A battery of 152 mm howitzers (D-1 model, 1943) of the 110th Guards Artillery Regiment fires at German troops, Belorussia, summer 1944.
In the foreground you can see the 20-year-old (!) Lieutenant Vyacheslav Tsarapkin, the commander of the firing platoon of the 1st battery of the 110th howitzer artillery regiment, which was a part of the 2nd corps artillery Mogilev brigade in the 49th Army.
