John J. MEARSHEIMER | This paper examines the likely trajectory of the Ukraine war moving forward. I will address two main questions. | First, is a meaningful peace agreement possible? My answer is no. We are now in a war where both sides – Ukraine and the West on one side and Russia on the other – see each other as an existential threat that must be defeated. Given maximalist objectives all around, it is almost impossible to reach a workable peace treaty. Moreover, the two sides have irreconcilable differences regarding territory and Ukraine’s relationship with the West. The best possible outcome is a frozen conflict that could easily turn back into a hot war. The worst possible outcome is a nuclear war, which is unlikely but cannot be ruled out. [...] [...] [...] While there is no question Russia invaded Ukraine, the ultimate cause of the war was the West’s decision – and here we are talking mainly about the United States – to make Ukraine a Western bulwark on Russia’s border. The key element in that strategy was bringing Ukraine into NATO, a move that not only Putin, but the entire Russian foreign policy establishment, saw as an existential threat that had to be eliminated.

■ The Age of Confrontation (Dmitry Medvedev)(07/03/23) | Whether it will be possible to find a way to compromise, I do not know. I am not sure. So far, the degenerate Western political class is trying to up the ante in a bloody clown horror show. In a state of persistent dementia, it pushes our little world toward World War III. Pushing the stoned Kiev regime to go to war with every last Ukrainian. In other words, I am not an optimist. It was not without reason that Anton Pavlovich once remarked that "life is, in fact, a very simple thing, and a man must take great pains to spoil it." But there is always hope.

This is the second in a series of edited extracts of James Delingpole’s recent podcast with Dr Mike Yeadon (PhD in respiratory pharmacology, co-founded a biotech company and conducted research at Pfizer) to discuss the evil WEF, their own faith journeys, ‘Gollum-class AI’ and more. You can listen to the full podcast here.

Before their emergency authorisation, Dr Yeadon warned the European Medicines Agency that these gene-based vaccines were not safe. Since then he has come to believe in a sinister agenda behind their determined rollout. What follows is the part of the podcast where James questions him on this. Mike explains rational drug design and how he saw obvious ‘designed-in’ toxicities in the mRNA and DNA Covid ‘vaccines’.
