Eric Zuesse On June 8th, Russia’s RT News headlined “Russia-China air drills alarm regional US allies (VIDEO)”, which reported (for the first time ever, so far as I am aware) a joint military exercise between China and Russia, in which the two nations are preparing to retaliate as a team against potential U.S.-and-allied aggression in […]

Eric Zuesse In human affairs, lies are the biggest weapons, because weapons are used in order to control (or maybe even kill) the given target, and the main way to do that when the target is another human being, is to deceive that person, so that that person mentally becomes the liar’s slave. For example, […]
Eric Zuesse On May 12th, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock accused the Government of South Africa by saying, “Anyone who supplies weapons to the aggressor in a war is doing the opposite of ending the war.” But who is the aggressor in the war that is being waged in the battlefields of Ukraine?
