The Western propaganda machine claims BRICS is a ‘challenge to NATO’ and a ‘mortal threat’ – is this true?

Since the Johannesburg Summit, BRICS has become bigger, more influential and potentially more financially independent. Should that cause concern? Even 30 years after the end of the Cold War, it is difficult for the Western world to abandon the mentality of that period. Thus, Russia and China are still used as credible threats which can be manipulated for intimidation. Especially when it comes to the enlargement of the BRICS – a bloc in which both Moscow and Beijing play a key role. It is even harder to get rid of thinking in terms of class struggle. After all, the rich and the poor are still at loggerheads. In this case, the emergence of an alliance against the wealthiest countries is fresh fodder. BRICS, which was founded in 2009 by Brazil, Russia, India, and Chin...

Reckless decisions have made Mikhail Saakashvili a pariah in his own country, the former Russian president has said FILE PHOTO: Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev © Sputnik / Yekaterina Shtukina Former Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili has paid the price for instigating the 2008 conflict with Russia, ending up as a pariah in his own country, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview with RT and TASS news agency on Friday.

Moscow recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, another breakaway region, on Augu...

German officials believe Ukraine destroyed Nord Stream

Nothing ties Russia to the explosions, two major German news outlets have reported FILE PHOTO. © Global Look Press / Danish Defense Ministry German investigators probing the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines are increasingly convinced that the perpetrators in question are linked to Ukraine, Der Spiegel and state broadcaster ZDF reported on Friday. Those familiar with the probe “consider the clues [pointing to] Ukraine to be particularly convincing,” the ZDF broadcaster said, adding that “there is no reliable evidence” that would suggest Russia was responsible. Law enforcement agencies are still largely focused on the ‘Andromeda’ sailing yacht. Western media has previously reported that the vessel was chartered by the alleged saboteurs...

Ukrainian lives cheaper than American

Andrzej Duda has claimed Russia must be stopped before the lives of US soldiers are sacrificed Polish President Andrzej Duda © Getty Images / Sean Gallup Polish President Andrzej Duda has accused his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin of seeking to conquer Europe and has insisted that Russia must be stopped in Ukraine where it is “cheap” to do so.
