  6. The West’s support of Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people tells you everything you need to know about “Western values”.

    Western values are dollars, euros, and cents.

    The next time some white person from Europe or the US preaches to you about their values, laugh in their faces. Loudly. Make sure everyone around you hears what a sick joke they are.

  11. "Three months ago, the Kremlin openly threatened to murder foreign diplomats in Kyiv, all while continuing to criticise the West for its supposed ‘lack of constructive ideas’ and ‘unacceptable style of dialogue’.

    Today, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova renewed that threat."

  12. "A week ago, Moscow accused the west of ‘escalating’ the war by helping Ukraine strengthen its air defence.

    Today, Russian missiles and drones are again hitting Kyiv.

    It is worth remembering what the air defence is there to defend against."

  18. Illia Ponomarenko: "I’m beginning to suspect that wasting years dragging feet on military aid to Ukraine and playing escalation management games, giving an aggressive militaristic Russia the time and resources to ramp up its war machine to full power against the free world, might not have been the brightest idea."

  23. "The Kremlin continues to push a grand conspiracy theory about a supposed ‘Russophobic’ Western plot to destroy Russia, allegedly stretching back more than 200 years.

    This nonsensical narrative is a convenient Kremlin fiction designed to hide an inconvenient truth: Russia’s reputation is the result of its own brutal, aggressive, and unlawful actions."

  28. Electrostates, Petrostates and the New Cold War, Adam Tooze
    London Review of Books lecture, Podcast, 5 Aug 2026

    "China is racing ahead in electrification, while the US turns its back on green energy in favour of a new era of fossil fuel machismo. An alignment between the three major petrostates – the US, Saudi Arabia and Russia – no longer looks implausible. The outlines of a new Cold War are becoming visible, one which will be determined by a novel mixture of ideology, critical technologies, supply chains and control of energy flows. How will these geopolitical dynamics play out – and what will it mean for global warming?" >>
