• Ukraine Is Doomed. Russia Wins Multipolarity | Dr. Nicolai Petro

  Dr. Nicolai Petro argues that a viable cessation in Ukraine is emerging primarily because battlefield realities and political pressures have made continued Ukrainian victory implausible. He attributes recent momentum toward a 28-point plan to sustained Russian military advances and a damaging Ukrain

• Ukraine’s Last Chance To Save Odessa | Dr. Michael Rossi

  Dr. Michael Rossi contends that the Trump 28‑point peace plan functions less as equitable mediation and more as a take‑it‑or‑leave‑it ultimatum that largely codifies Russian gains—Crimea, much of Donbas, and control over parts of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia—while imposing Ukrainian neutrality and ambig

• Western Projection: Creating Enemies to Maintain Power | Dr. Jan Oberg

• EX-Central Banker: Russian Asset Theft Will Destroy EU Markets | Prof. Dejan Šoškić

• US Naval Seizures In The Caribbean Are Only The Beginning | Amb. Chas Freeman

Pyne contends the U.S. draft is closer to Ru

• The West Is Drowning In Its Own War Lies | Anatol Lieven

  Anatol Lieven argues that the emerging U.S. 28‑point peace initiative represents a potential shift toward terminating the proxy war in Ukraine, but its success is uncertain due to deep divisions within Washington and active European resistance. He contends the plan addresses core issues—withdrawal f

Drawing on long-term exp

  Kishore Mahbubani argues that the 200‑year era of Western dominance is ending as Asia reasserts itself as the center of the emerging multipolar world. He contends China’s largely peaceful rise and Asia’s multipolarity require Western institutions to adapt—citing IMF voting shares and proposing a 7‑7

• Ex-Agent REVEALS: CIA Makes Peace Impossible | Larry C. Johnson

  Larry C. Johnson contends that Western intelligence and political elites manufactured and perpetuated Russiagate to serve domestic and geopolitical ends, leveraging allied services (MI6, GCHQ, European partners) to collect and frame intelligence against political targets. Drawing on his CIA experien
