Cold War 2.0 : Tension and accusations from both sides over north Europe

"Russia’s Interfax news agency quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Alexei Meshkov as saying on Monday that Russia believes NATO is destabilizing northern Europe by holding military exercises there and 'transferring aircraft capable of carrying nuclear arms' to the Baltic states.”

Alexander Grushko, Russia’s envoy to the Western military alliance, also said last month that the country will inspect NATO’s increasing presence in Eastern Europe being established under the pretext of the crisis in Ukraine, adding that it will frame its new defense policy with regard to the issue.”

'What are NATO military commander in Europe Philip Breedlove and the likes of him doing? They are trying to shake up the most stable region in the world, which is Europe’s north. Those endless military exercises, rebasing of aircraft capable of delivering nuclear weapons to the Baltic nations. This is the reality, a very negative one,' he said.”

Britain expressed concern on Monday over what it called the 'aggressive testing' of its airspace by Russian aircraft. 'The extremely aggressive probing of our air space by Russian aircraft is an issue of concern to us,' British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond told MPs. 'It is entirely appropriate for NATO countries in particular to work together to respond to what is a change of Russia's dealings with NATO and indeed the non-NATO European countries.'”

    The US and its EU vassals are very easily propagandizing (molding) people in the West in the ramp up to a new Cold War and very likely Hot War that will follow at some point. It is obviously too late to prevent what the West is up to. My only remaining hope is that the coalescing East will become sufficiently strong to draw a line that the West will dare not cross, then will come the moment of truth: will the US still cross that line, taking the world into an immense catastrophe? Carl Jung said that the world might just turn the corner from the first Cold War without too much devastation. In the 1990's I thought we just made it around that corner. But the West could not accept peace, and again we face catastrophe. The US is morphing into a thug state. I fear for the worst, and have little hope for our future.

Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history

UN Palestinian Rights Committee   In her address to the Human Rights Council on 3 July 2025, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, warned of a genocide unfolding in Gaza and the West Bank.    She described the situation as “apocalyptic,” stating that “Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history.”    With over 200,000 Palestinians reported killed or injured and the real toll “far higher,” she accused Israel of dismantling humanitarian aid in Gaza, replacing it with a “so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' [that] is nothing else than a death trap.”    She emphasized that this was not an isolated crisis but part of a decades-long “settler colonial project of erasure” that has intensified in recent months through military force, starvation, and mass displacement. Albanese condemned the deep complicity of corporate and state actors i...

Trump’s Tariff Threat on BRICS BACKFIRES— Is He Fueling the Rebellion?

GVS Deep Dive   Donald Trump just slapped a 10% tariff threat on BRICS countries — calling them “anti-American” and accusing them of trying to destroy the U.S. dollar. But instead of weakening the bloc, his aggressive posture might be doing the opposite.   GVS Deep Dive unpacks Trump’s July 2025 tariff ultimatum, the explosive Truth Social posts, and the BRICS summit response from leaders like Lula and Modi. From new financial systems like BRICS Pay to de-dollarization and sovereign trade in local currencies, the Global South is pushing back. And here’s the twist: as Trump tries to defend the dollar with threats, he may actually be accelerating the very rebellion he fears. 🎯 Why is the U.S. struggling to sign new trade deals? 🇮🇳 Will India bend under Trump’s pressure — or break away? 🌍 Is BRICS the future of global power? 📉 And what happens if the dollar really does decline?     Related:  Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global So...

Spying on Iran: How MI6 infiltrated the IAEA

Leaked confidential files indicate the International Atomic Energy Agency was infiltrated by a veteran British spy who has claimed credit for sanctions on Iran. The documents lend weight to the Islamic Republic’s accusation that the nuclear watchdog secretly colluded with its enemies. by Kit Klarenberg Part 2 - Langman’s name placed under official UK censorship order In 2016, Langman was named a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George, the same title bestowed on fictional British spy James Bond. By that point, the supposed secret agent held the dubious distinction of being publicly ‘burned’ as an MI6 operative on two separate occasions. First, in 2001, journalist Stephen Dorril revealed that Langman had arrived in Paris weeks prior to Princess Diana’s fatal car crash in the city on August 31 1997, and was subsequently charged with conducting “information operations” to deflect widespread public speculation British intelligence was responsible for her death. Then, in 2005, he...
