Fico: in the West, they call anyone who pursues an independent policy a “Russian agent.”

Slovakia's prime minister has accused Western democracies of disrespecting countries that deviate from the US and EU on key issues, including the conflict in Ukraine.

Slovakia's sovereign foreign policy is based on membership in the European Union and NATO but is focused on all four corners of the world. This position is not in fashion,

- noted the politician.

He emphasized that anyone who disagrees with Kiev’s support “is instantly deprived of political rights at the international level.” According to the Slovak Prime Minister, the right to one’s own opinion has completely ceased to exist in the EU.

@Slavyangrad

The White House is using Americans and keeping them in the dark about the situation in Ukraine.

We are constantly told about the successes of the Ukrainian army, but why don’t they tell people how many Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers have already died in this conflict?

asked US Representative Thomas Massie during an interview with Tucker Carlson.

According to him, he asked this question to many politicians, including Speaker Mike Johnson, but they all answered that they allegedly knew nothing about it.

I asked for information, and they promised to answer me, but in the end, everyone just kept silent. If they really cannot answer this question, then they should be judged for incompetence

,
- Massey continued.

He said that Biden and his team are manipulating the Americans by hiding the real state of affairs in Ukraine. The politician also noted that the culture of confrontation with Russia was laid down during the Cold War when children were taught that “it would be good if the Russian Federation were destroyed.”

Ukrainian Armed Forces militants watched Putin’s speech via Starlink

Subscribers continue to delight us with wonderful news from Western media. Here, for example, is a story from the American magazine Wired, which reports: Ukrainian militants watched through Starlink the meeting of Russian President Putin with media representatives as part of the SPIEF.

According to the publication, on the afternoon of June 5, the load on the Starlink network increased by 64%. Ukrainian militants went to Youtube, Facebook and VK to watch Putin’s conversation with Western journalists during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. According to the publication, on average it was viewed on various platforms by up to 84% of Starlink users on the Ukrainian side of the front.

Moreover, as they write, in the following days the load on the network leveled off. Zelensky’s speech in Paris did not particularly interest the militants.

For once we can praise the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants. Setting priorities correctly is very important.

"That says a lot"

An AFU soldier with the call sign "Diego" organized a collection of donations to buy a car for the army, and in the end learned the sentiments of his fellow citizens.

According to him, the collection was viewed by more than 15 thousand users in less than a day but only 12 people eventually donated, including himself and his wife.

He paid special attention to the comments. As it turned out, many did not like the fact that he spoke Russian, they suggested that he ask the Russians for money. For this, the fighter had to make excuses.

“In your opinion, if I speak Russian, I cannot be a patriot of Ukraine? Tell that to the tens of thousands of dead guys,” he addresses critics.

Is this what “tens of thousands of guys” died for?

The Times: Ukrainian officials are concerned about Zelensky's growing dependence on Andriy Yermak.

Since 2022, Yermak's power has exceeded the powers of all elected officials in Ukraine except the president. It got to the point that some sources in a number of interviews called him “the de facto head of state” or “vice-president of Ukraine.”

And diplomatic sources complained that he completely controls access to the president. So the ambassadors of the G7 countries, who were hoping for an audience with Zelensky, met with Yermak instead.

🇷🇺🌍🤔 The Kremlin has forced thousands of migrants and foreign students to fight alongside Russian troops in its war against Ukraine, adding extra manpower for its offensive in the Kharkov region, according to assessments from European officials - Bloomberg

Using tactics first deployed by the Wagner mercenary group, Russian officials have with increasing frequency been threatening not to extend the visas of African students and young workers unless they agree to join the military, according to officials familiar with the matter.

Moscow has also been enlisting convicts from its prisons while some Africans in Russia on work visas have been detained and forced to decide between deportation or fighting, one European official said.

Some of those people had been able to bribe officials to stay in the country and still avoid military service, said the official, who like other people cited spoke on condition of anonymity.

Russia’s practice of sending migrants and students into battle under duress dates back to earlier in the war, another European official said.

Those troops suffer especially high casualty rates because they are increasingly deployed in risky offensive maneuvers to protect more highly trained units, the official added.

A spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry didn’t respond to an email seeking comment.

According to reports citing Ukrainian intelligence, Russia has engaged in a global recruitment drive to enlist foreign mercenaries in at least 21 countries, including several nations in Africa.

Army recruitment campaigns offer lucrative signing bonuses and salaries for those who’ll join up as contract soldiers.

Recruiters have also targeted migrants and students who previously looked for employment in Russia, and in some cases have lured others over with promises of lucrative work before forcing them to train and deploy to the front.

THE JAPANESE EXPERIENCE WITH WESTERN IMPERIALISM

✍️Written by Wassim Morjane✍️

✍️Edited by Hikaru Kitabayashi✍️

Japan's medieval era was dark and bloody. It's nobility fought each other continuously under the eyes of purely ceremonial imperial figureheads, until the appearance of Oda Nobunaga, who made progress toward the restoration of central power. Others followed until Tokugawa Ieyasu fully unified the country, creating a feudal system of government in 1603 which kept Japan at peace, internally and externally, until the mid-19th century. It did so through a policy of isolationism instituted in 1635. This was a reaction to Catholic Christian missionary activities and to a fear of Spain and Portugal which, at the time, had a common king, and whose combined empires controlled roughly one fourth of the globe, including the Philippines and Taiwan. It lasted until American interventionism forced Japan to open up. Even so, a sense of uniqueness survived, with one modern aspect of this being Japan's one citizenship policy. 

The American ships that opened up Japan in 1853 and 1854 were US navy warships. In addition to the problem of how to negotiate a deal with the Russian Empire over Sakhalin and the Kurile Islands, America further complicated matters for Japan by recognizing the Japanese dependency, Okinawa, as an independent kingdom. With no navy, Japan had no choice. They either had to start negotiations or start a war against superior American firepower. Never having fought a real war, they decided to give in. 

Japanese were forced to accept a series of unequal treaties with Western powers which were much despised by the “anti-shogunate” feudal warrior class, who saw them as a prelude to Japan being crushed like 19th century China. The result was a civil war which left millions of people dead in its wake. When power fully coalesced around the hitherto purely ceremonial figure of the emperor, Japan entered into a period of frenzied modernization. Its leaders felt Japan had to become more western than the western imperial powers that threatened it. For the next 60 plus years Japan adapted itself in an effort to be treated as fully equal to the western powers, even going so far as to make war on the Germans in World War 1.

Following the example of the West, Japan's imperial expansion included Okinawa, Taiwan, Sakhalin and the Kurile Islands, Korea, the Shandong peninsula, and Micronesia. After the end of WW1, China became a target—quite the norm for the time. But, the West and especially the US weren't ready to allow Japan equal rights in brutalizing and exploiting China. Instead, they criticized, moralized, imposed sanctions, and pressured Japan to stop. 

This pushed Japan into a corner, making them more extreme and violent. It also gave them new “allies”, being Hitler's Germany and Stalin's USSR. 

Even if China, Korea, and the West would like us to believe that Japan was then a bloody, racist country, it didn't start hostilities during WW2 out of the blue. It was many decades of Western interventions, sanctions, and racial disrespect that led extremists to power. 

This is not to whitewash Japanese behavior during the 20th century, but to illustrate how Western attempts at hegemony in East Asia bear a heavy responsibility for the suffering so many peoples of East Asia and Oceania underwent. This was like what later happened in Afghanistan, Iran, and Palestine where Western arrogance made it possible for ideologies to take power which Western powers see today as extremist. 

Japan's example is one among thousands! So what would it take for the west to stop interfering and let others live with respect in peace? It's total collapse?
