Real Estate: Where Russian Sanctions Go To Die
Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 01/25/2023 - 2:25pmThere is nothing, absolutely nothing, that NATO countries won't do to punish Russian oligarchs for their support for Putin. To do otherwise is not an option. It's a moral imperative.

Scott Ritter on Tank Realities
Submitted by Linda Wood on Wed, 01/25/2023 - 1:26pmRitter provides detailed information on the reality of tank warfare in Ukraine, as well as the maintenance nightmare as described by American veterans.
He also gives a history of the Banderite fascist Nazi armed groups supported by the U.S., starting with the CIA after WWII.
The most memorable part of this vital piece by Ritter is a quotation of remarks by Petr Bystron in the German Parliament.
