The Threatened Peoples of East Asia and Europe Can Stop the U.S. Drive to Restore its Global Domination.
“This is not going to be a war of Ukraine and Russia. This is going to be a European war, a full-fledged war.” So spoke Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky just days after berating the U.S. for beating the drums of war.
Two often-cited principles, each with established roots in international law, are frequently in conflict — the territorial integrity of states and the self-determination of peoples.
In January 2022, a draft of a document, titled “The Fundamentals Of Public Policy To Preserve And Strengthen Traditional Russian Spiritual And Moral Values,” was published on the Federal Portal of the Drafts of Regulations for public discussion.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared the beginning of a military operation in Ukraine. The military operation comes after the recognition of the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR). In an urgent address on February 24, Putin said that following a request from the “authorities” of Donetsk and Lugansk for assistance, Russia “will seek demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine” and will “press for bringing to justice those who have committed numerous bloody crimes against peaceful civilians, including Russian citizens.”
In a chilling act of aggression, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a military assault on Ukraine in the early hours of 24 February. That Western leaders had warned of this possibility for weeks did little to cushion the shock. President Putin announced what he characterised as a “special military operation” to demilitarise and “denazify” Ukraine, and made a barely coded threat of nuclear strikes upon any outside power that might come to its aid. Residents of Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, and cities throughout the country woke to explosions as Russian bombs and missiles fell on military facilities and infrastructure. The bombardment follows a months-long build-up of as many as 200,000 Russian troops on Ukraine’s borders, to the north, west and south. Ground forces that then entered Ukraine indicate that Russia has embarked upon not only an air campaign aimed at toppling Ukraine’s government but a full-scale invasion. The human toll could be catastrophic.
U.S. intelligence suggests Russia aims to overthrow the pro-Western Ukrainian government as its military launches a full-scale invasion including more than 100 missile launches into the country, a senior defense official said Thursday.
Russian Diplomat Ambassador Andrey Baklanov said that Germany and its Minister of Defense do not have the moral ground to condemn Russia’s actions in Ukraine, because Russia was the victim of Nazi Germany and its policies in an interview that aired on Alghad TV (Egypt/UAE) on February 24, 2022.
Se a Europa não se der ao respeito através da reconfiguração da sua política de segurança e energética, todos os países do ex-Pacto de Varsóvia sentirão um medo constante e, nesse medo, as forças extremistas e pró-russas ganharão ainda mais peso, criando assim o sonho de Putin: dividir a Europa nas velhas fronteiras da CEE
Venäjän presidentti ajoi johdonmukaisesti tilanteen tähän, kirjoittaa Ilta-Sanomien ulkomaanuutisten tuottaja Jari Alenius.
Euroopassa soditaan, eikä tällä kertaa ole kyseessä mikään paikallinen etninen teurastus, vaan suurvaltapolitiikkaan kytkeytyvä, maanosan kahden pinta-alaltaan suurimman maan välienselvittely. Vakavin sitten toisen maailmansodan.
“President Putin, stop your troops from attacking Ukraine, give peace a chance,” Secretary-General António Guterres urged Russia’s president said on Wednesday night during the second emergency Security Council meeting on Ukraine in three days.
