Beege covered all the updates on the terror attack in Moscow yesterday culminating with the big news that ISIS had claimed credit for the attack. But there are some more updates today starting with the death toll which has now climbed to 133 dead and more than 100 more injured. Despite the claim of responsibility […]
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich will reach a grim milestone on March 29. That date marks the one-year anniversary of his detention in Russia. Evan is being held in Moscow’s Lefortovo Prison on charges of espionage. Evan, his family, the Wall Street Journal, and the State Department all deny that Evan is a spy. […]
How did Marxism come to dominate American Academia and now US politics after a century of oppression, terror, and failure? Those of us who lived through the Cold War, and especially those who served on its front lines, must be asking that very question. When the Berlin Wall fell, most of us assumed that Marxism […]
As he cruises toward another election “victory” on Friday, Vladimir Putin is increasing the frequency of his public appearances. (That’s probably relatively easy when all of your viable opponents mysteriously keep winding up dead.) This week he gave an interview to Russian state television and the subject of the Ukraine war inevitably came up again. […]
Pope Francis has been largely silent on the issue of the war in Ukraine aside from urging peace in the region, along with the rest of the world. That changed last month during a little-noticed interview he did with a Swiss broadcaster. The Pontiff told the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (RSI) that Ukraine should have “the […]
Ksenia Karelina was denied an appeal of charges against her in a Russian court on Thursday. She is a 32-year-old dual U.S.-Russian citizen. The crime Ksenia is accused of committing is treason. The charge was brought against her because she made a small donation – $50 – to a charity that aids Ukraine. She was […]
Prying Russia from the grip of Putin was Alexei Navalny’s reason for living and ultimately the reason he died. So it’s no surprise that his funeral, which was held today in Moscow, turned into a kind of anti-Putin rally with numerous chants that, on a normal day, would lead to arrests and prison. ‼️ “Ukranians […]
When I wrote about Emmanuel Macron’s ill-advised suggestion that the West might have to put “boots on the ground” in Ukraine, I suggested that it might not be the best idea to threaten Vladimir Putin that way under the current circumstances. Almost on cue, Putin came out today and issued an unsubtle reminder that he […]
Earlier this month, the Ukrainian army was forced to withdraw from Avdiivka, a suburb of Donetsk, surrendering the city to the Russians. Moscow’s forces have kept up the pressure since that time and this week the Ukrainians were forced out of the village of Lastochkyne. Kyiv is citing a lack of both personnel and ammunition […]
It’s true that many people in the United States have been calling on our European allies to do more in terms of supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia, but it sounds as if French President Emmanuel Macron may have missed part of the memo. It would be good if the Western European nations would […]
