Alleged British war crimes in Afghanistan

A British soldier testified about British war crimes in Afghanistan, a country which we should have left well alone. One of the several military idiots who are  Tory Members of Parliament thinks this should have been discussed privately rather than made public. The same man talks about Russian war crimes but never about Israeli or American ones. 

What a way to run a country. 

Let's make the British nuclear deterrent independent of the Americans if we can and stop assisting the Americans. No need to make waves by leaving Nato. "Quiet quitting" will be better.

Gideon Rose explains in early 2014 that the West wants to get Ukraine ("basically Robin to Russia's Batman") away from Russia and in the Western camp

In February 2014 (before the US-backed coup), Gideon Rose gloated about how the US was taking Ukraine over while Russia was distracted by the Sochi Olympics. He left out that only 20% of Ukrainians wanted to join NATO. They spoke more open about the US intervention before it triggered a war

Please watch this short clip in which Gideon Rose, the editor of the US defence establishment's premier magazine Foreign Affairs, explains breezily before the fall of Yanukovych that the West wants to get Ukraine to change sides from Russia's to Nato's.

An old fashioned East German historian's view of the Ukrainian war makes sense

Speaking on Neutrality Studies, East German military historian Dr. Lothar Schröter sounds like an old fashioned Communist apparatchik, but he is obviously right when he says the USSR never intended to attack the West any more than Putin does now. Here is an excerpt where he makes great sense. 

And I'll say it quite openly on fundamental issues, the North Atlantic Alliance, to put it mildly, has always told untruths. And the biggest lie was the one about the threat from the east. 

It never existed. There's never been a threat from the east. If the Russians had really intended to take over Western Europe, they would have marched to the Atlantic in 1945. They didn't do that.
