The ex-White House aide has argued that Washington’s policies and rhetoric have only emboldened Russian President Vladimir Putin | US President Joe Biden’s efforts to punish Moscow over the Ukraine crisis have failed, and his rhetoric and weak leadership have only encouraged more aggression by Russian leader Vladimir Putin, ex-White House aide John Bolton has claimed. ● Bolton made his comments in a NewsNation interview on Friday, after Biden and other US officials rebuked President Putin over the death of opposition politician Alexey Navalny in a Siberian penal colony. The former US national security advisor argued that contrary to statements by the Biden administration, Navalny’s death does not demonstrate weakness in Putin’s government.
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin sat down for an interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson to discuss the Ukraine conflict, the Nord Stream sabotage, Russia-NATO relations, artificial intelligence and other topics. | Dmitry Kiselev, general director of the Rossiya Segodnya media group — Sputnik's parent company — said he had sent a request to the White House for an interview with US President Joe Biden. 💬 "We believe that our countries lack the ability to listen and hear each other, and we believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin has set a worthy example by agreeing to an interview aimed at the American viewer," the letter said. "The interview is planned to be conducted by me, Dmitry Kiselev, CEO of the Rossiya Segodnya Media Group and host of the highest-rated Sunday news and analysis program Vesti Nedeli on Russia 1, the country's most popular TV channel."

Hashem Alagha, Borak Alagha and their father Ahmed were taken by Israeli forces in Khan Younis last week, and their family says the US has not done enough to secure their release | The US-based family of two Palestinian-American brothers and their father, a Canadian national, have accused the Biden administration of not doing enough to secure the release of their relatives after they were detained by the Israeli military in the besieged Gaza Strip eight days ago. ● Hashem Alagha, 20, Borak Alagha, 18, their 48-year-old father, Ahmed Alagha, as well as others, were taken by Israeli forces in al-Mawasi near Khan Younis on 7 February, after the Israeli army conducted a raid on the shelter they were seeking refuge in. ● Their US-based extended family told Middle East Eye that despite contacting the US State Department and US consular offices for help and assistance, they had received no information on their status or well-being.

The American political class fell into a bizarre rage over Tucker Carlson’s seemingly innocuous trip to a Moscow metro station and supermarket. | Pro-regime pundits rushed to issue denunciations and “rebuttals” of Carlson’s videos, while Senator Thom Tillis smeared him as a “useful idiot.” Their overarching message was clear: “Ordinary Americans, don’t believe your lying eyes.”
Journalist Tucker Carlson expressed his approval after a visit to the fast-food restaurant “Vkusno - i Tochka” (lit. Tasty, period) during his stay in Moscow, calling the Russian cheeseburger and fries “excellent”.

There’s nothing remarkable or surprising about the fact that Russia has nice metro stations and supermarkets – it’s the largest economy in Europe and the fifth largest in the world in terms of purchasing power parity. Despite unprecedented Western sanctions, the Russian economy grew at a faster rate than all the G7 economies in 2023 and will probably do so again this year, according to the IMF. ● The crucial difference between Russia and the United States is not the price of groceries or even the quality of public transportation. The crucial difference is the effectiveness of their political systems. The reason why Moscow is a nicer city than Washington, DC is because the former is run by competent technocrats while the latter is run by incompetent Democratic Party apparatchiks. As someone who has lived in both cities, I know firsthand which one is cleaner, safer, and offers an overall better standard of living.
In a candid interview with propagandist Pavel Zarubin, Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed his preference for engaging with Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump, citing Biden's predictability and experience as an "old-school politician." Putin's remarks offer a rare glimpse into his strategic calculus regarding American leadership amidst ongoing tensions between Russia and the United States. | Contrastingly, Putin's past admiration for Trump's perceived exceptionalism took a backseat as he expressed reservations about Trump's stance on NATO defense spending and its potential implications for Ukraine. The specter of Trump's foreign policy decisions, particularly in relation to Russia's actions in Eastern Europe, looms large in Putin's strategic calculus. [...] Putin's unexpected commentary on American media personality Tucker Carlson offered further insights into his perceptions of Western media dynamics. Surprised by Carlson's subdued approach during their recent interview, Putin admitted to expecting a more adversarial line of questioning. "To be honest, I expected him to be aggressive and ask so-called sharp questions. I just wasn't prepared for it," Putin confessed, revealing his strategic engagement with Western media outlets as conduits for dialogue amid strained relations.

Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag | United States Intelligence Community targeted 26 Trump advisors for foreign spy agencies to “reverse target” and “bump” | Last year, John Durham, a special prosecutor for the Department of Justice (DOJ), concluded that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) should never have opened its investigation of alleged collusion by then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and Russia in late July of 2016. ● Now, multiple credible sources tell Public and Racket that the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016. ● The new information fills many gaps in our understanding of the Russia collusion hoax and is supported by testimony already in the public record.
An American private lunar lander from Intuitive Machines was launched after a 24-hour delay due to fuel issues. The Nova-C Odysseus lander, developed by the spaceflight company Intuitive Machines (IM), could be the first private mission, known as IM-1, to successfully land undamaged on the lunar surface. | The successful launch of the Nova-C Odysseus comes one month after another American spacecraft, Peregrine, failed to land due to fuel depletion. If everything goes according to plan, Odysseus could attempt a lunar landing on February 22nd. The landing of Odysseus will mark the first return to the Moon by the United States since the last mission of the Apollo program – Apollo 17 – over 50 years ago.
Graham, considered to be among the most “hawkish” lawmakers in Washington, may be counting on collapse in Ukraine to sink US President Joe Biden’s reelection chances. | Lindsey Graham (SC-R), long considered one of the US Senate’s foremost advocates of a muscular US foreign policy, raised eyebrows this week when he repeatedly voted against lethal aid for Ukraine and Israel. [...] The capitulation of Graham, who less than a year ago insisted US President Joe Biden should redouble efforts to assist embattled Ukrainian President Voloydymyr Zelensky during a visit to Kiev, suggests a seismic shift is underway concerning US support for Ukraine, and perhaps US foreign policy as a whole.

The vaccine racket is losing steam, so billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates has come up with a new design for vaccines that involves "a little patch" being slapped on a person's skin. | In a recent appearance on CNBC TV18 in India, Gates was asked about the future of vaccine manufacturing through his eyes, based on the current state of technological and healthcare advancements. [Bla-bla-bla] [...] Gates continued by rambling about the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "vaccines" that were unleashed through Operation Warp Speed, explaining that for the next pandemic, "we need to make them have longer duration, more coverage." [...] Whether from a needle or from a patch, poison is still poison, it is important to note. Injected poison is arguably worse as it bypasses the body's natural defense mechanisms, but surely Gates has thought of that, too, and will make the patches just as, or perhaps more, toxic than their needle counterparts.

The bloc unanimously backed the idea of using frozen assets to help Ukraine | The EU is facing increasing pressure from the US and its allies to find ways to seize hundreds of billions of euros in frozen sovereign Russian funds. Asked if Hungary would support the initiative to use profits generated from financial assets which belong to the Russian central bank and are now frozen by the EU, Szijjarto said the idea reminds him of how the communists used to confiscate assets from people in Hungary.

Jonathan Cook | Western media can never truly report the extent of Israel’s criminality because to do so would be to expose their long-running complicity in those crimes | Leaks from within CNN reveal that for months its executives have been actively imposing an editorial line designed to reinforce Israel’s framing of events in Gaza, to the point of obscuring atrocities by the Israeli military. The dictates, say insiders, have resulted in senior staff refusing to accept assignments to the region "because they do not believe they will be free to tell the whole story". Others suspect they are being kept away by editors who fear they will fight the restrictions. ● Internal memos insist that stories be approved by the station’s Jerusalem bureau, where staff are widely seen as partisans who slant reports in Israel’s favour. Palestinian perspectives are tightly restricted. "Ultimately, CNN’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza war amounts to journalistic malpractice," one staffer told an investigation by the Guardian newspaper.

Biden highlighted his efforts on reaching the long-awaited deal and a sustained pause in fighting: “There are a lot of innocent people who are starving, a lot of innocent people who are in trouble and dying, and it’s gotta stop.”
