The Russophobia and propaganda are just oozing out of the article. It's essentially a call for a new Cold War.

It's mind-boggling how they twist events to make Putin appear as the bloodthirsty warlord who's bend on destroying the democratic and benevolent West.

It's worth reading to understand the deranged mindset of these people.

This was a weirdly comedic read about worlds colliding:

American elites trying to create an American chip monopoly for nationalist and imperialist reasons, ask their colony to bring the factory to the imperial core.

Asian worker exploitation culture being imported to the US, where everyone likes to brag how hard-working people they are and think that the rest of the world is poor because it's lazy.

American labour aristocrats refusing to conform with Taiwanese worker exploitation culture.

Taiwanese capitalists making concessions to American workers so they can fulfill the wishes of American elites.

American elites crying because they can't build their self-sufficient capitalist tech utopia that will grab the chip market by the balls.

Taiwanese workers looking in and feeling that everything's a bit too surreal and unbelievable for their taste.

Police-woman enticed him to meet, pretending to be 16-year-old girl

Case dismissed and files sealed.

Someone from within leaked the story to the press to smear him.

In my own opinion, someone is out to get him and they are grasping at anything to discredit him. If the sexual offenses allegations were true, they'd use those to raid his house.

Bear in mind, Macron was first elected on the promise he would "normalize" French politics and squeeze the far right out.

I'm sure the two things are totally unrelated!

A few hours before the G7 meeting in Rome, and a few days before the "peace summit" organized by Zelenski in Switzerland, Putin announced the conditions for new peace negotiations:

  • Withdrawal of all Ukrainian troops from Zaporozhia, Donetsk, Lugansk and Kherson, and recognizing those areas as Russian (as well as Crimea)

  • Commitment not to join NATO (but no mention of EU membership)

  • Commitment for neutrality

  • Demilitarization and denazification

Zelenski outright denied this call for peace, but Ukrainians are coming out and saying they should consider this. Most notably, the Ukrainian PM Denis Smyhal, saying they should organize another peace summit and invite Russia.

This has got the West scrambling, and has basically torpedoed the "peace summit" in Switzerland, as European states will most likely pressure Zelenski to start talking on Russia's basis for peace.

A combination of Western chauvinism, arrogance and gullibility.

Yes.

French citizen.

Used to be the French ambassador to Georgia.

She was the French ambassador in Chad during a French-supported coup.

She was part of the Iran sanctions UN committee.

She was a permanent representative of France in NATO.

She participated in efforts to get Georgia into NATO.

She organized training of Georgian army by NATO.

She is partly responsible for all the protests going on against this bill.

A couple weeks ago, during a military ceremony, she took the podium and made a speech reminding the soldiers of "who trained them" and that "when the time comes you should follow the will of the people". Basically asking them to overthrow the Prime Minister and his ruling party. The PM was sitting right behind her.

She stands to be exposed as a foreign agent if this bill passes, along with many other politicians. Georgia has 1 NGO or SMO (social movement organization) per 148 people (that's 10 000 NGOs and 15 000 SMOs). The Georgians are the most propagandized people by foreign forces.

It's despicable that Aaron Mate has been investigating this for 8 years now, has testified to the UN about it, and the UN has taken action on his testimony, yet mainstream news has been wholly silent about it

Name 1000 military bases? How about viewing the major ones: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FyafNUuWIAA_Iz9.jpg

Of course you'll now say there's something wrong with the picture and lalala your way out.

Kind reminder: some US officials pushing for this war are descendants of people who fled the Soviet Union. For example, Victoria Nuland's grandparents. This is very much a continuation of the Russian Civil War against the Bolsheviks.

Oh yes, wanting to raise people out of poverty is totally what fascists want.

You don't know what you are talking about. You are just repeating something someone in authority once told you to believe. Ironic.
