ANALYSIS – Making Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s worst fears come true, President Joe Biden has rapidly shifted the U.S. goal in the Ukraine war from ‘defending Ukraine’ against Russian aggression, to ‘weakening Russia,’ itself as Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said last week. This shift comes as Ukraine continues its battlefield successes which have forced Putin to scale down his ambitions from a full takeover of Ukraine to absorbing its important eastern and southern parts. Still, this US/NATO shift may have serious unintended consequences and could lead Putin to double down and widen the war. And both Putin and Russian Foreign…

An influential private equity chief based in Hong Kong, Weijian Shan, whose group PAG manages more than $50 billion, and who normally backs Chinese leader Xi Jinping, blames the Chinese government for creating a “deep economic crisis” comparable to the global financial crash of 2008. Shan also says China’s ‘popular discontent’ is at its highest point in the past three decades. (RELATED: China’s Ukraine Reaction Putting Its Citizens at Risk) In a recent recording of a meeting with brokers obtained by the Financial Times (FT), Shan said his fund had diversified away from China and was being “extremely careful” about its portfolio in the…

With the West’s dramatically increasing military support for Ukraine, including massive weapons shipments and training, Russian leader Vladimir Putin threatened “lightning-fast” retaliatory strikes on any countries that intervene in Ukraine and “create strategic threats for Russia that are unacceptable to us.” In a speech before Russia’s legislative assembly, Putin added, likely alluding to Russia’s hypersonic missiles: We have all the tools for this, such that no one can boast now. And we will not brag, we will use them if necessary. And I want everyone to know about it, we have made all the decisions on this matter. Possibly intending to take that point home, Russia…
ANALYSIS – In the latest effort by President Joe Biden and his leftist supporters to censor conservatives and promote their own domestic disinformation, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is being savaged for creating a Disinformation Governance Board (aka: ‘Truth Board’), to allegedly fight ‘disinformation.’ (RELATED: Social Media Censorship Particularly Hits Those Without Political Connections) More specifically, to “coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia.” Rather than fix their horrendous, self-created border and migration crisis, they are using taxpayer dollars to fund a monstrous partisan program to spin it. Beyond the dangerous precedent of…
STRANGER THAN FICTION — According to high-resolution satellite photos provided by Maxar Technologies, and analysis from H I Sutton, a well-known submarine analyst who first reported on the dolphins for the U.S. Naval Institute (USNI) on Wednesday, dolphins appear to be used by Russian forces to protect the entrance to Sevastopol harbor in Crimea off Ukraine’s southern coast. Sutton notes that the two dolphin pens, sheltered just inside a sea wall, were moved in February near the time Russia invaded Ukraine. https://twitter.com/CovertShores/status/1519409209393229824 Some Russian warships are based at the Sevastopol port, out of range of Ukrainian missiles. The flagship of the Russian Black Sea fleet —…

The heat is rising on President Biden and his increasingly incredulous claims that he knew nothing of his son Hunter’s shady foreign business deals when he was VP and well beyond. In addition to new evidence that Joe and Hunter shared bank accounts and commingled funds, and that Hunter’s business partner at Rosemont Seneca Partners, their investment firm with close links to Communist China visited the White House numerous times while Joe Biden was vice president, now we find that Joe paid over $800,000 of Hunter’s legal bills tied to his Chinese-linked company; as recently as 2019. Hunter’s partner Devon Archer and two co-defendants were convicted of fraud in 2018.…
