by Rostislav Ischenko Translated by Seva Source: https://cont.ws/post/257189 There were two news items last week: an attack by Nazi goons on Vasily Volga, who is trying to promote in Ukraine a left-wing pseudo-opposition project integrated into the regime, and of similar attack on a group of former members of the Regions Party, who tried to organize in Kharkov a pseudo-opposition event as a part of the centrist pro-peace and pro-European

Waiting for Yalta – 2, or What the Kerry-Lavrov pact brings to the table, by Scott

I have been getting questions about Ukraine, and what’s next… Either people don’t read my posts, or they ignore everything I write.

NATO on trade, in Europe and Asia, is doomed

by Pepe Escobar for RT The President of the United States (POTUS) is desperate.

The European face is of course the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
