By Ret Admiral Cem Gürdeniz, May 21, 2025
The beginning of the decline of the United States as an empire was experienced with the Vietnam War.

The Kiev Regime’s NATO Supplied F-16 Calamity. Unable to Confront Russia’s Fighter Jets
By Drago Bosnic, May 20, 2025
When the Ukraine military loses assets such as these NATO-supplied F-16s, it often resorts to ridiculous (or rather pathetic, to be exact) claims such as “technical issues” or “emergencies”. Expectedly, they regularly forget to mention that the possible code names for those “sudden technical issues” could be R-77M, R-37M, R-87, R-97, etc. However, something truly unique did occur during the latest downing of the US-made F-16.

By Richard C. Cook, May 20, 2025
The US saw two major power struggles during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One was between the heads of the big corporations and the most powerful bankers. The other was between those same bankers and the federal government.

The West Forgot How to Make Peace. “How Peace Got Rebranded as War”
By Prof. Pascal Lottaz, May 20, 2025
While Western leaders talk about “security” and “freedom,” what they’re really doing is rearming for the next war. They don’t ask how to stop conflicts—they ask how to win them. They don’t imagine dialogue—they prepare invasions. The West didn’t lose peace by accident, they actively threw it away.
