- Facebook & Atlantic Council unite: Now social media giant serves NATO’s agenda
Facebook has engaged a think tank funded by weapons manufacturers, branches of the US military and Middle-Eastern monarchies to safeguard the democratic process. It's akin to hiring arsonists to run the fire brigade. - Keeping Russia great: Putin's final presidential term will be his most difficult
When Putin first became president in 2000, he inherited a basket case. Since then, he has restored much of Russia's former greatness. Now he faces his toughest challenge: ensuring those gains are consolidated after his departure. - Donald Trump doesn't take Britain, France or Germany seriously
Like any successful wheeler and dealer, Donald Trump knows how to make his clients feel the illusion of being valued. - ‘Evil, Russian style’: Fake Putin ice-hockey conspiracy theory combusts
A viral Twitter thread about "evil, Russian style" was ostensibly a harmless, and bogus, sporting conspiracy theory. But the media reaction it inspired exposes how so many people want to believe the worst about Russia. - Russian embassy ‘spy-nest’: British media brings its anti-Russia hysteria to Ireland
It hardly needs to be said that Ireland is a small country. But, for decades, it has had a newspaper industry to be proud of, with its main titles fairer and less partisan than their equivalents in other states. - Russian election: Western demonization of Putin has made him more popular in Russia
Western leaders and opinion formers believed sanctions and economic pressure would encourage Russians to turn against Vladimir Putin. They couldn’t have been more wrong. - US-Russia agenda now contains just one issue: the prevention of war
Vladimir Putin's postponed annual address ruffled many feathers as he delivered some home truths: Russia intends to follow its own developmental path and wants the West to back off from its frontiers and vital interests. - There will be no Brexit: Irish border mess shows why clean UK break is impossible
The Battle of the Boyne may have taken place in 1690, but it has cast a long shadow across both Great Britain and Ireland. Now, 328 years later, it threatens to scupper English dreams of leaving the EU. - Four years after ‘Euromaidan,’ corruption is still king in Ukraine
Four years ago this weekend, Ukraine’s democratically-elected, albeit deeply corrupt, government was overthrown in a Western-backed coup which set off a chain reaction of events, tearing one of Europe’s largest countries asunder. - America’s elite thinks it has a divine right to rule the world
America’s ruling class has a curious attitude to democracy. It seems to be interpreted as something that’s good for the US and its allies but bad for critters who won't accept their role in the ‘America-led international order.'
