And another nuclear threat to the UK from Russian state TV's Dmitry Kiselyov: He says his country's Poseidon nuclear underwater drone could cause a tsunami that would "plunge the British Isles into the depths of the sea" and turn them into a "radioactive desert" (with subs)
The EU have spent four times more on Russian fossil fuels than on the aid to Ukraine. By the time the oil embargo is executed, Russia will have received over a 100 billion euros more in revenue. Luis Garicano, MEP
Yes, the Germans have agreed (for this week at least) to cancel Nord Stream 2, the new gas pipeline from Russia. But that’s one more cruel joke in which the Ukrainians are the punchline, ignoring Nord Stream 1. Germany continues to take Russian oil and Nord Stream gas, sending Putin nearly $1 billion a day. This is the commercial equivalent of the Hitler-Stalin pact.

Putin has emerged as a leader of this movement in part because of the global reach of recent Russian fascist thinkers such as Alexander Dugin and Alexander Prokhanov who laid its groundwork.
It is easy to recognize, in Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the roadmap laid out in recent years by Dugin and Prokhanov, major figures in Putin’s Russia. Both Dugin and Prokhanov viewed an independent Ukraine as an existential threat to their goal, which Timothy Snyder, in his 2018 book The Road to Unfreedom, describes as “a desire for the return of Soviet power in fascist form”.
The form of Russian fascism Dugin and Prokhanov defended is like the central versions of European fascism – explicitly antisemitic. As Snyder writes, “… if Prokhanov had a core belief, it was the endless struggle of the empty and abstract sea-people against the hearty and righteous land-people. Like Adolf Hitler, Prokhanov blamed world Jewry for inventing the ideas that enslaved his homeland. He also blamed them for the Holocaust.”
That very end-plan was unwittingly revealed in an article by Petr Akov, a political commentator for Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti. Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February and the article was published two days later, the morning of 26 February. Strangely it disappeared almost immediately but had already been recorded in a web-archive. A copy is now also available in Uzbekistan’s Sputnik outlet.
The incident would not have attracted much attention had the article not been deleted so expeditiously. The most telling misstep was revealed in the phrase “This problem is now gone – Ukraine has returned to Russia.” At least that was how “the return” was supposed to play out. The article was obviously prepared in advance with the expectation that by the time of release Russia would have achieved a whirlwind victory over Ukraine. But the plan failed because Ukraine ferociously resisted the first Russian strike.
Although now un-published, this non-article gives a very worrying insight into what Putin’s plans could be. Akov writes:
“Vladimir Putin took on a historic responsibility by deciding not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian question to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia.”
It is critical to make this point very clear. History remembers that there was another man who “finally solved the Jewish question,” 80 years ago. Putin’s message is not that different from Hitler’s.
Putin openly states that “Ukraine is an anti-Russian project constructed by the West,” not a nation. He claims that the very existence of Ukraine and Ukrainians is a threat to Russia.
Hitler stated in his master treatise Mein Kampf that Jews were allegedly “corrupting” the German nation.

Timothy Snyder's book and argument is based on the mythology that Europe consisted of nation-states before the EU when in fact before WWII Europe was still based on imperialist colonialism. So on a deeper level what happened is that as nation political movements arose against the Hapsburg Empire, the creation of written national languages then codified left-brain dominance with a parallel rise in antisemitism. So the problem is the concept of the modern nationstate itself based on Platonic logarithmic mathematics of "democracy" as an inherent racist eugenics that hides the inverse exponential wealth growth of the elite.
This is why antisemitism spread into Spain via the 9th century transfer of Platonic philosophy to the Carolingian empire via John Scotus Erigena. Antisemitism in the west is based on the Hellenization of Judaism using a ten-based number system tied to gematria and the currency minted as ten-based value (from the Greeks). So that's why communism as an extreme "rationalism" can easily flip to extreme fascism and vice versa based on this incorrect symmetric logic from Platonic philosophy.
How is it that an association formed by and for the descendants of the roughly 18 million Soviet citizens sent to Stalin’s Gulag — several million of whom never returned — gets stigmatized as a “foreign agent”? “We are not agents of anyone,” Memorial’s executive director, Yelena Zhemkova, announced at a recent news conference. “We ourselves decide what and how to work.” In Putin’s Russia, that ethos is now an endangered species.
