The 3.7 billion dollar bridge, with separate spans for auto and train traffic, was opened for auto traffic in May of 2018 and for trucks five months later, with Putin himself driving the first one to make the crossing…

German State Propaganda Against the Rise of the Right-Wing?

In this era of warmongers and brainwashed followers, it’s worth revisiting the scandal that brought down the Austrian government in 2019. We don’t have a choice because DW, Germany’s state television network, recently released an English version of their 2021 Ibiza Affair documentary…

Ukraine: A Correspondent Responds to Finkelstein's Critic

It is refreshing always to hear your arguments, either in a speech but also in proze. I was reading the response of Mr. Vognsen to your arguments that Russia had the moral argument to attack Ukraine.
