Russia Resurrected and Exported a Fascist Ideology to the West
That the Trump administration is targeting ‘enemies within’ instead of Putin shows how much America has already succumbed to it
“The rise of authoritarianism was not an inevitable consequence of some autonomous “forces” of technology or demography. I think that we should pay attention to the deliberate cultivation of a multi-purpose ideology of authoritarianism in Russia.”

How “Remigration” Traveled from European Neo-Nazis to the White House
“Remigration” began as a neo-Nazi concept in Europe. Today, it is U.S. government language and policy. This timeline shows how an ideology rooted in the “Great Replacement,” far-right violence, and Id...
Once confined to neo-Nazi circles, “remigration” has moved into mainstream political discourse. This timeline shows how a neo-Nazi concept moved through Identitarian networks, and far-right parties, before appearing in U.S. federal policy, with serious human rights consequences.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

Follow the money? PNAC donors have included Bradley, Olin & Scaife; (Koch) Donors Network & Scaife Tanton too. Desired outcomes? Fossil fueled Mid East of autocratic nation states & outside of multilateral or trade blocs with thin veneer of geopolitical strategy via Israel: Russia & US vs EU too

Striking that Trump's minions are more critical of European countries for limited support, or sitting this war out, than they are of Putin for handing information to Iran

These Christian God botherers, Jews for Jesus, Kahanists, Chabad etc. complicit. In '70s liberal Kibbutz based Israelis complained about US Jewish diaspora of 'born agains', very RW and conservative, then followed in '80's by Soviet now Russian diaspora (alleged many dodgy); Russians 20+% of Israel.

A while ago Trump paused its Ukraine aid to ensure it contributes to a solution. The order remains until Trump determines Ukraine’s commitment to peace negotiations with Russia. Meanwhile, Putin gives Iran intelligence to target our troops. Perhaps Trump should reconsider helping Ukraine more. 🔄

Anglo media miss relationships offshore eg. alt right Steve Bannon & allegedly 'left' UK Muslim MP George Galloway celebrated together at an event in Kazakhstan when Boris Johnson rolled Theresa May for PM?
Bannon like PM 'mini Putin' Orbán knows Charles Koch's & Putin's, Mearsheimer, & Sachs too

Any normie of Israeli &/or Jewish heritage, would be careful knowing that after Islam, Jews will be next?
See Soros conspiracy for PM 'Putin' Orbán by Bibi's ppl; anti-immigrant, Islamophobic & anti-semitic.
Behind the Islamophobes is anti-semitism of US MAGA white Christian nationalists

Good one if you follow RW MSM (ditto UK vs Starmer), then help the perps, LNP and Murdoch? What are you for, the ALP did not start this conflict, but Australians follow the RW MSM and ignore perps and victims?

Yeah nah, Israel led by the infamously secular Netanyahu is a 'delivery system' for US Evangelicals' (see Koch Heritage Project Esther & Ambassador Huckabee) 'End Times' & 'Rapture', similar to Morrison's mob?
Israeli normies vs the regime & its actions understand this & will be thrown under a bus.

The US and China opposed condemning Russia for it's attacks on civilian infrastructure.
They are OK with war crimes against civilians, putting them in the dark and cold at temperatures of -20° C, or -4°F.
This will not be forgotten.
Boycott the #USA and #China where you can..

We cannot become the vassals of a semi-deranged Donald Trump
Conservative “patriots” betray their country – again!
We cannot become the vassals of a semi-deranged Donald Trump
The sight of the British right cheering on the half-mad, semi-senile leader of a quasi-hostile foreign power shows that conservatives have lost their patriotism – and with it whatever common sense they once possessed
