"It's Just part of my ongoing business relationship with Vladimir Putin... No, of course I never even contemplated it... I have nothing to do with Russian media. I couldn't even identify three Russian media outlets. Of course I don't speak Russian," Tucker Carlson said in response to the remark about him becoming a host on Russian television. Carlson further stated that this claim is a pretext for a FISA warrant, which will allow Biden administration to spy on him. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

Breaking bad: Oregon conservatives seeking to secede from the woke state Fourteen conservative Oregon counties voted for steps to start negotiations on seceding from the liberal state and join neighboring conservative Idaho. The draft aims to move the Oregon border 200 miles to the west, so that several counties would lie within Idaho state lines. Those behind the effort claim that the move would allow residents to benefit from lower tax rates and to have their interests better represented at the legislative level. They also argue that the move westward would be a boon to conservative voters ostracized by left-wing authorities that push harmful ‘progressive’ policies. Oregon residents have seen a spike in crime, especially drug-related. Notably, locals blame liberal legislators for decriminalizing drug possession. State policymakers adopted a law in 2021 under which police would simply give out $100 fine tickets to addicts in place of criminal prosecutions. On top of that, the ticket would be cancelled if the detained underwent treatment and agreed to a health assessment. The move ultimately proved pointless, as drug users ignored over 95 percent of the tickets. Though not legislatively binding, the vote signals to state and federal representatives that residents support talks on being annexed by Idaho. Similar breakaway sentiments have been voiced in Texas, Illinois and Colorado. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

West’s support for Srebrenica ‘genocide’ vote designed to distract from Gaza, divide rising global majority 💬 “This outcome was expected because of the immense pressure of the Western countries,” Professor Stevan Gajic, a political analyst and research associate at the Belgrade-based Institute of European Studies, told Sputnik, commenting on Thursday’s vote in the UN General Assembly to establish an international remembrance day commemorating the July 1995 violence in Srebrenica, Bosnia as a “genocide.” “The proposal comes at a very interesting moment. It comes at the moment when Western countries are supporting extermination of Gaza. And therefore they want to divert the anger of the Muslim countries and also to give an alibi to the Muslim countries who voted for the resolution…to somehow come clean in front of their people because they are not doing anything when it comes to Palestine. This is the main motive,” the academic said. 💬 “The motive is also to stir differences among the countries of the emerging world majority, which is struggling and which is fighting and defeating Western hegemony and Western global dominance all over the world,” Gajic added, pointing to the divisions triggered by Thursday’s vote between emerging powers in the Global South and some countries in the Muslim World. Gajic fears the resolution may be designed to trigger a new war in the Balkans, and that this may have been the West’s goal all along. “Another war is possible. And this precisely can be the spark. I think that when we think about the motives, we should remember what [then-US Secretary of State] John Kerry said in 2015 - that Serbia, Bosnia, Georgia, Moldova, Macedonia, Montenegro, and a number of other countries are ‘in the line of fire’ of the West versus Russia and connected to the war in Ukraine, which was already raging for a year and a half [in the Donbass, ed.] when he said it,” Gajic recalled. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

Scott Ritter reveals US already covertly backs Ukraine strikes on Russia Former Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter told Sputnik that Tony Blinken's proposal to authorize Ukraine to take actions against Russia is merely formalizing what's already happening covertly. "The United States has already green-lighted Ukraine to do this. The CIA has been working with Ukrainian intelligence and Russian opposition forces to take the fight into ‘Old Russia’," Ritter said. He emphasized that this covert war is a response to Russian successes in Ukraine but warned that Blinken's move could escalate the conflict dangerously. Ritter believes it's a political ploy by the Biden administration, aimed at domestic optics rather than resolving military issues. He cautioned that such escalation could lead to direct confrontation between Russia, the US, and NATO, potentially resulting in nuclear conflict. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

Zelensky cuts down his ‘peace formula’: what does Soros have to do with it? Ahead of the summit on the Ukraine conflict to held in Switzerland on June 15 and 16, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave interviews to Reuters and the NYT where he focused on just three items from his original 10-point “peace formula”. Zelensky called for an eventual peace settlement that would begin with plans to secure Ukrainian food exports to developing nations, prisoner exchanges and nuclear security. He underlined that if Ukraine thoroughly develops these three points, the plan could then be handed over to Russia. Interestingly, the interviews took place just a week after Andriy Yermak, head of Zelensky's office, held a meeting with Alexander Soros, the son of American billionaire George Soros. On May 13, the two discussed preparations for the Switzerland summit and the reduced “peace formula” covering the same three issues. This development comes as the Swiss conference has begun to look like a failure weeks ahead its actual start. According to media reports, leaders of the Global South and BRICS nations have chosen to avoid the conference altogether. So far, heads of styate from China, Brazil, South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Senegal, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Indonesia, India, Syria, Iran, Ethiopia, Malaysia and Venezuela have turned down invitations to the event. “Any event that ignores Russia's position and is based on the 'Zelensky's formula' ultimatum is hopeless and detached from reality,” the Russian foreign ministry commented. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

Scott Ritter: US threats to greenlight Ukrainian attacks on Russia could spill out into world-ending conflict US officials talk' of lifting a formal ban on Ukrainian strikes inside Russia using American long-range weapons could result in an “unprecedented” escalation that would almost certainly provoke a Russian response, potentially resulting in a direct conflict between Moscow and NATO, former Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter told Sputnik. “Ukraine is already attacking critical energy facilities inside Russia, oil tanks, petroleum depots. This is taking place. It’s just that it’s not taking place with State Department or Department of Defense connivance. It’s taking place with the assistance and the facilitation of the Central Intelligence Agency – a covert war. All Tony Blinken is now talking about is taking this covert war and making it an overt war.” 💬 “Why is he doing this? Domestic American politics. It will have no impact on the battlefield. But what it does is allow the Biden administration to posture itself as doing something discernable to address the Russian successes – the successful offensive north of Kharkov, the continuing successful offensives in eastern Ukraine and Novorossiya,” Ritter said. “This is a political problem for the Biden administration, and so Anthony Blinken is trying to come up with a political solution. But it’s shortsighted. It won’t resolve the military problem that are being confronted by the Ukrainians. What it will do is create the dangerous potential for the kind of escalation that the Biden administration has been assiduously seeking to avoid – an escalation that would lead to a direct confrontation between Russia, the United States and NATO. An escalation that could see this conflict move away from conventional war into the possibility, indeed probability of nuclear conflict,” the international affairs observer warned. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

UK snap election promises “rude” campaign amidst political discontent It would be “truly astonishing” if the Conservatives win on July 4, Mark Garnett, a politics professor at Lancaster University, told Sputnik. Sunak hopes an early election will minimise his party's losses, “banking on good economic news” like falling inflation, the academic noted. “Calling the election for July suggests he has given up hope that other things could improve between now and the end of 2024,” Garnett said. The Tories will leave the UK “with very serious economic problems, but also with most voters feeling disillusioned with the political process.” The view “in all wings of politics” is that the government “has failed the country,” Alistair Jones, associate politics professor at De Montfort University, told Sputnik. There is “dissatisfaction” with the Tories, while solutions “being proposed by the opposition parties do not necessarily encourage much enthusiasm either.” The campaign will be “borderline rude and contentious,” he added, as both parties “have got their own agendas.” Sunak is hoping to cash in on small gains, gambling on a short term economic bounce, his Rwanda scheme for relocating migrants or the ban on smoking. “There are fears that there's other bad news on the way, but that won't happen till after the summer and hence the early general election.” No matter what Labour claims it wants to change, defence, foreign policy will likely see “a degree of continuity,” with only “subtle changes,” Jones noted. Labour, like other parties, will pledge change after seeing “what the Conservative Party has done or has failed to do, and the extent to which the Conservative Party may have been gaslighting the public over a number of issues.” But there is a “huge caveat” to their manifesto, as it “boils down to money. How much money is there going to be available to do things?” asked Jones. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

‘Kiss of Death’ security pact threatens to turn Kenya into US vassal  💬“Kenya is an entry door to Africa - as such any country wishing to infiltrate the continent would find it beneficial to court Nairobi,” Dr. Michael Ndonye, a political commentator, senior lecturer at Kabarak University in Kenya, told Sputnik, commenting the US effort to woo Kenyan President William Ruto during his state visit to Washington this week.  During the trip, President Biden is expected for grant Kenya major non-NATO ally status. That’s something Nairobi should be worried about, says Prof Alexis Habiyaremye, a political analyst, senior researcher at the University of Johannesburg’s School of Economics, comparing the pact to Roman Empire-style “vassalization status.”  “Such a vassal status implies that Kenya will from now on have to consider as its enemies whoever the Americans designate as their enemies, and as friends whoever the US sees as its friends… The move is therefore designed to bring Kenya into the club of countries that unconditionally supports US wars and kowtows to its closer allies (the Five Eyes). This is an alliance from which Kenya, as the vassal, has little to nothing to gain, apart from symbolic honorific gestures thrown to the leaders of such countries,” Habiyaremye warned.  America’s interest in Kenya is clear, the observer said, given the nation’s “considerable strategic importance” regionally.  💬 This relates “both to its position in the Great Lakes region, but above all, because of its proximity to the Horn of Africa. Being able to control the Horn of Africa and, by extension, the Gulf of Aden is obviously of capital importance to the US,” Habiyaremye said.  Dr. Nicodemus Minde, an adjunct lecturer in international relations at the US International University – Africa in Nairobi, agrees, telling Sputnik that major non-NATO ally status is not only “dangerous” for Kenya, since it forces Nairobi to bow to US demands, but robs the African nation of much-needed diplomatic bargaining power. @geopolitics_live

Crises-riddled legacy of UK’s Tories as snap election looms. Pt.1 Sunak's snap general election announcement for July 4th has caught the UK off guard. With leadership changes from Johnson to Truss and now Sunak, the Conservative Party finds itself in a series of crises. Let's explore why the UK Tory government is in for a tough election. Ukraine policy London's support for NATO's proxy war against Russia in Ukraine backfired economically, leading to inflation and energy shortages. The Tories suffered electoral losses, trailing Labour by 18 points in recent polls.

Why is the Srebrenica resolution voted on by the UNGA today a politicized document? Germany and Rwanda's draft resolution is currently under review by the UNGA in New York. Efraim Zuroff, Director of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre for hunting Nazi criminals, criticized it as political and deemed the UNGA as a “worst place” for such a vote. As an expert on the Jewish genocide, Zuroff's opinion carries weight. Here are the arguments by Zuroff and other commentators: • The Bosnian Muslim leadership is the true force behind the resolution, using Germany and Rwanda as proxies. Consequently, the resolution is not impartial but driven by a party to the conflict • The resolution will not “reveal the hidden truth” as Belgrade and Banja Luka acknowledge executions in Srebrenica but reject the "genocide" label • The resolution won't "deliver justice" by demanding apologies from one side, as Serbia has already apologized numerous times for the Srebrenica massacre. Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic issued the last official apology in 2013. “I am on my knees, I ask you for forgiveness for the crimes that were committed in Srebrenica and other places in the name of our people. But I reject the definition of genocide,” Nikolic said • Serbian President Vucic, who was then prime minister, visited the memorial to the victims of Srebrenica in 2015 • Western sponsors of the resolution argue that "criminal accountability" should not be attributed to any ethnic group, but that is not true in practice. All seven heads of post-Yugoslav states punished by the Hague court were Serbs and not a single one was Muslim or Croat, highlighting an ethnic bias in targeting individuals, according to George Szamuely, a Budapest-based senior research fellow at the Global Policy Institute. • The resolution is aimed at establishing “collective responsibility,” as professor of law Kosta Čavoški told Sputnik, but there is no such term in modern jurisprudence, making it a politicized act of vengeance rather than a quest for justice.

🤡 Israel's "self-defense war is more humane" than that of any other country in the world's history," Nikki Haley claims US President Joe Biden's recent decision to suspend an arms shipment of 1,800 2,000lb bombs and 1,700 500lb bombs to Israel represents a "totally false and destructive narrative that Israel is acting unjustly," former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said on Wednesday. "Israel is conducting its war of self-defense more humanely than any army in history," Haley said during a seminar at the conservative Hudson Institute think-tank. Meanwhile, the death toll from Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip since the Israel-Hamas conflict escalated on October 7, 2023 has exceeded 35,000 as of May 13. Most of the dead are women and children, according to Palestinian health authorities. Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

Unpacking the aftermath of 1995 Srebrenica events : UN considers ‘genocide’ resolution The UN General Assembly is set to vote on a draft resolution put forth by Germany and Rwanda that aims to outlaw the denial of the genocide in Srebrenica, which occurred on the territory of Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, both Serbia and Republika Srpska are vehemently against the resolution. What happened then? ◾️In July 1995, the town of Srebrenica, located in Bosnia and Herzegovina near the border with Yugoslavia, came under the control of Serbian forces led by General Ratko Mladic. It is estimated that approximately 8,100 local Muslims perished or went missing, according to data from the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) and other organizations. However, some experts believe that these figures may be overblown. ◾️Serbia and the Republika Srpska acknowledge the deaths of Bosnian Muslim men in Srebrenica, but they both reject the label of genocide. ◾️Serbian President Vucic noted that the UN, by pushing a resolution on the “genocide in Srebrenica” in the General Assembly, is taking revenge on Serbia for its independent policy and the failure of Western policy in other parts of the world. ◾️In turn, Republika Srpska President Dodik highlighted that in July 1995 a criminal mistake was committed in Srebrenica, but not an act of genocide. ◾️Russia has repeatedly criticized the work of the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, which raised the issue of genocide in Srebrenica, castigating its work biased. Back in 2012, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the tribunal of political bias and double standards in its approach to cases. ◾️In 2024, Russia has also categorically opposed the draft resolution. Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, called on "all sensible countries to do the same." In his opinion, it is “one-sided and has nothing to do with the stated goal of perpetuating the memory of the victims of the 1995 tragedy.”

21st century scramble for East Africa: Why is US sweet-talking Kenya? Kenyan President William Ruto is the first African leader to make a state visit to the US since 2008, with Washington rolling out the red carpet in a no-expense spared push to sweet-talk the strategically-situated East African nation. 🔺 At first glance, Kenya’s significance to Washington may seem uncertain, with trade reaching a modest $1.3 billion in 2023 ($443 million in US exports, $895 million in Kenyan exports). 🔺 The US will announce a $250 million investment package via the US International Development Finance Corporation. On the eve of Ruto’s visit, USAID announced $32 million in funding for Kenya’s education system, while the State Department unveiled a $3.3 million scholarship program. Notably, US pledges do not include road, bridge and railway infrastructure African countries need, with China committing $5.6 billion in infrastructure assistance to Kenya since 2013 alone. 🔺 A pro-US stronghold during the Cold War and a frontline ally during the so-called ‘war on terror’, Kenya is now a crucial bridgehead for US military operations across East Africa, enjoying access to the Camp Simba, Mombassa and Wajir bases. US deployments in Kenya top 1,000 troops, and the nation’s significance has grown over time after other African countries, including Niger and Chad, began kicking US forces out. 🔺 The US is also interested in Kenyans as potential foot soldiers to enforce its ‘international rules-based order’, with Kenyan forces expected to lead an international intervention in Haiti (providing 1,000 militarized police), for which Nairobi expects $300 million in support. 🔺 Finally, the US is set to designate Kenya as its first major non-NATO ally in Sub-Saharan Africa, giving Nairobi access to concessionary loans, US arms stockpiles, and new opportunities for joint training, while giving Washington a chance to expand the size of its footprint in Africa. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

What the EU mission in Rafah reportedly proposed by the US is about The US is brokering talks between Israel and Egypt to have a neutral third party take over control of the Rafah border crossing in Gaza, Politico reported, citing sources. After exploring several options, the US has set its sights on the European Union Border Assistance Mission (EUBAM) as best suited for the task, the report added. The Biden administration has been juggling fittingly “outraged” rhetoric about the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza with maintaining a lucrative weapons flow to its ally. After issuing warnings to Tel Aviv about the consequences of a full-blown Rafah offensive – warnings largely dismissed by Israel – Washington is now reportedly trying on the role of Rafah stalemate “mediator.” If the EU group is sold on the idea, then the crossing could reportedly open in the next several weeks. Here’s why the US is pushing for a “third party” to control Rafah: 🔶 Egypt suggested that control over the crossing point be handed back to officials of the Palestinian-run Gaza Crossings Authority who used to operate it. 🔶 Israel has resisted this over security-related concerns, claiming members of Hamas were among those overseeing the crossing. 🔶 EUBAM has experience operating at the border in Gaza. It was deployed there in 2005 in accordance with the “Agreed Principles for Rafah Crossing” concluded by Israel and the Palestinian Authority 🔶 The unarmed civilian mission consisted of about 70 personnel, mainly police, border police, and customs officers. It professed to offer a “third party” presence to liaison between Palestinian, Israeli, and Egyptian authorities. 🔶 EUBAM suspended its operations in Rafah in 2007 following Hamas' takeover of the Gaza Strip, citing inability of the Palestinian Authority to provide security for the EU monitors. 🔶 Since then, the mission has maintained its readiness to redeploy to Rafah. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

B-2 to B-21: Can Pentagon avoid mistakes that turned its 'backbone' stealth bomber into white elephant? The US Air Force recently released new images of the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider bomber during tests at Edwards Air Force Base. The B-21 is expected to join the Air Force fleet between 2025 and 2027, while the aging B-2 Spirit bombers take up the slack until then. At first glance, the B-21 and B-2 bombers may seem alike. Both boast a sleek, flying wedge-shaped design, ideal for stealthy infiltration into enemy territory for various missions. B-2 vs. B-21: What changed? ◾️ Payload and Size Differences: Despite their visual similarities, the B-21 is notably smaller than its predecessor, the B-2. This translates to a reduced payload capacity, with the B-21 carrying 10-15 tons compared to the B-2's 18-23 tons. Additionally, the B-21 has a smaller fuel capacity, offering a range of 9,650 km versus the B-2's 11,100 km. ◾️ Engine Configuration: The B-21 features a twin-engine configuration inherited from the Pratt & Whitney F135, while the B-2 is equipped with four General Electric F118-GE-100 turbofans. ◾️ Stealth Advancements: Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin has promised that the B-21 incorporates the latest advances in stealth technology, and that the plane will be able to elude even sophisticated air defenses. Only time will tell. ◾️ Symbolic Naming: While B-2s were named after US states, the B-21 breaks tradition by being named after the Doolittle Raiders, a group of daring WWII-era airmen who played a pivotal role in early air campaigns, including the bombing of Tokyo in 1942. What hasn’t changed: same high-prices The B-2, priced at over $2.1 billion each, holds the title of the world’s most expensive aircraft. Northrop Grumman's B-21, promised at $692 million per plane, may still exceed this figure. With the Air Force planning to acquire at least 100 B-21s, totaling $69.2 billion, additional expenses like service costs and maintenance could push the overall costs into the trillions.

Congressional warmonger trots out ‘map of Russia’ to 'untie Ukraine's hands' for deep strikes A map of Russian territory has been trotted out by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul as a prop in Congress, as seen from footage published by C-SPAN. McCaul was fervently advocating dropping US restrictions for Ukraine to hit targets inside Russia. McCaul rattled off a list of weapons funneled to the Kiev regime, including long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and HIMARS, claiming that restrictions on their use meant that Ukrainians had “they hands tied behind their backs.” McCaul pointed to the zone that ATACMS missiles could cover as he pressured US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the matter. He also recognized that “we have a really bad situation going on,” in reference to Kiev’s battlefront woes in the face of the Russian army’s steady advance. As Blinken was testifying before the House Committee, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) noted that, “Congress did not put restrictions on the use of these weapons. It's Jake Sullivan and your administration that has put the restrictions on these weapons.” Blinken dodged a direct answer, saying that when it comes to endorsing attacks outside of Ukraine, “that’s not something the US has done.” The Ukrainian side will have to make its own decisions, said Blinken. Earlier, Politico cited a letter by lawmakers from both parties in the US House of Representatives calling on US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to authorize "the use of US-provided weapons to strike strategic targets within Russian territory under certain circumstances." In response, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “hotheads” in Congress seemed determined to further provoke tensions around Ukraine and follow Washington's general policy of fueling the proxy conflict to the last Ukrainian. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

What is known about New Caledonia population, which protests against French colonial policy? French President Emmanuel Macron visited New Caledonia, where The local Kanak population has rioting for more than a week and the situation remains tense. What are they fighting for? 🔸The anger voiced by independence supporters in New Caledonia is directed against a new constitutional amendment recently passed by the French parliament.

Kanaks are convinced that the political weight of their community will be weakened as a result. 🔸The population of the islands, according to the 2019 census, is 271,000 people. The largest national group is the indigenous Kanak population (41%) followed by Europeans (24%). 🔸 French authority in the region is exercised by the High Commissioner. He is appointed by the French president. Executive power is exercised by the local government, all members of which are Kanaks. France transferred most powers to the Kanak government, retaining control of of defense, foreign and monetary policy and justice. The neew law may change that. 🔸Some Kanaks demand independence from France. In referenda held in 2018 and 2020, only 44% and 47% of participants voted in favor of independence. A 2021 referendum was boycotted by independence parties, leading to a skewed result of 97% against. 🔸French High Commissioner Louis Le Frank blames the unrest on the Field Coordination Cell (CCAT), which launched protests at the beginning of last week.

"It's Just part of my ongoing business relationship with Vladimir Putin... No, of course I never even contemplated it... I have nothing to do with Russian media. I couldn't even identify three Russian media outlets. Of course I don't speak Russian," Tucker Carlson said in response to the remark about him becoming a host on Russian television.
Carlson further stated that this claim is a pretext for a FISA warrant, which will allow Biden administration to spy on him. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

The key points of Iranian Army General Staff's first report on the President Raisi helicopter's crash: 🔶 The helicopter was following the planned route and did not deviate from it 🔶 About a minute and a half before the crash, the pilot communicated with two other helicopters in the flight team. 🔶 No bullet marks were found on the wreckage of the crashed helicopter. 🔶 Helicopter caught fire after hitting high ground 🔶 Due to difficult terrain, fog and low temperatures, the search operation lasted all night; Iranian drones were able to locate the helicopter by Monday morning. 🔶 Nothing suspicious was observed in the conversations between air traffic controllers and the flight crew. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

Breaking bad: Oregon conservatives seeking to secede from the woke state Fourteen conservative Oregon counties voted for steps to start negotiations on seceding from the liberal state and join neighboring conservative Idaho. The draft aims to move the Oregon border 200 miles to the west, so that several counties would lie within Idaho state lines. Those behind the effort claim that the move would allow residents to benefit from lower tax rates and to have their interests better represented at the legislative level. They also argue that the move westward would be a boon to conservative voters ostracized by left-wing authorities that push harmful ‘progressive’ policies. Oregon residents have seen a spike in crime, especially drug-related. Notably, locals blame liberal legislators for decriminalizing drug possession. State policymakers adopted a law in 2021 under which police would simply give out $100 fine tickets to addicts in place of criminal prosecutions. On top of that, the ticket would be cancelled if the detained underwent treatment and agreed to a health assessment. The move ultimately proved pointless, as drug users ignored over 95 percent of the tickets. Though not legislatively binding, the vote signals to state and federal representatives that residents support talks on being annexed by Idaho. Similar breakaway sentiments have been voiced in Texas, Illinois and Colorado. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

West’s support for Srebrenica ‘genocide’ vote designed to distract from Gaza, divide rising global majority 💬 “This outcome was expected because of the immense pressure of the Western countries,” Professor Stevan Gajic, a political analyst and research associate at the Belgrade-based Institute of European Studies, told Sputnik, commenting on Thursday’s vote in the UN General Assembly to establish an international remembrance day commemorating the July 1995 violence in Srebrenica, Bosnia as a “genocide.”
“The proposal comes at a very interesting moment. It comes at the moment when Western countries are supporting extermination of Gaza. And therefore they want to divert the anger of the Muslim countries and also to give an alibi to the Muslim countries who voted for the resolution…to somehow come clean in front of their people because they are not doing anything when it comes to Palestine. This is the main motive,” the academic said.
💬 “The motive is also to stir differences among the countries of the emerging world majority, which is struggling and which is fighting and defeating Western hegemony and Western global dominance all over the world,” Gajic added, pointing to the divisions triggered by Thursday’s vote between emerging powers in the Global South and some countries in the Muslim World. Gajic fears the resolution may be designed to trigger a new war in the Balkans, and that this may have been the West’s goal all along.
“Another war is possible. And this precisely can be the spark. I think that when we think about the motives, we should remember what [then-US Secretary of State] John Kerry said in 2015 - that Serbia, Bosnia, Georgia, Moldova, Macedonia, Montenegro, and a number of other countries are ‘in the line of fire’ of the West versus Russia and connected to the war in Ukraine, which was already raging for a year and a half [in the Donbass, ed.] when he said it,” Gajic recalled.

Scott Ritter reveals US already covertly backs Ukraine strikes on Russia Former Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter told Sputnik that Tony Blinken's proposal to authorize Ukraine to take actions against Russia is merely formalizing what's already happening covertly. "The United States has already green-lighted Ukraine to do this. The CIA has been working with Ukrainian intelligence and Russian opposition forces to take the fight into ‘Old Russia’," Ritter said. He emphasized that this covert war is a response to Russian successes in Ukraine but warned that Blinken's move could escalate the conflict dangerously. Ritter believes it's a political ploy by the Biden administration, aimed at domestic optics rather than resolving military issues. He cautioned that such escalation could lead to direct confrontation between Russia, the US, and NATO, potentially resulting in nuclear conflict. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

Zelensky cuts down his ‘peace formula’: what does Soros have to do with it? Ahead of the summit on the Ukraine conflict to held in Switzerland on June 15 and 16, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave interviews to Reuters and the NYT where he focused on just three items from his original 10-point “peace formula”. Zelensky called for an eventual peace settlement that would begin with plans to secure Ukrainian food exports to developing nations, prisoner exchanges and nuclear security. He underlined that if Ukraine thoroughly develops these three points, the plan could then be handed over to Russia. Interestingly, the interviews took place just a week after Andriy Yermak, head of Zelensky's office, held a meeting with Alexander Soros, the son of American billionaire George Soros. On May 13, the two discussed preparations for the Switzerland summit and the reduced “peace formula” covering the same three issues. This development comes as the Swiss conference has begun to look like a failure weeks ahead its actual start. According to media reports, leaders of the Global South and BRICS nations have chosen to avoid the conference altogether. So far, heads of styate from China, Brazil, South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Senegal, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Indonesia, India, Syria, Iran, Ethiopia, Malaysia and Venezuela have turned down invitations to the event.
“Any event that ignores Russia's position and is based on the 'Zelensky's formula' ultimatum is hopeless and detached from reality,” the Russian foreign ministry commented.
