China Points Out That US & NATO To Blame For Ukraine War

PRC Foreign Ministry: "George Kennan... suggested to the US government in 1990s that expanding NATO up to Russia’s borders would be the most fateful error of American policy."

By Tyler Durden: At Wednesday's United Nations General Assembly vote which condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, there was one hugely notable abstention: China.

"We are facing a tragedy for Ukraine, but also a major regional crisis with potentially disastrous implications for us all," had previously introduced at the start of the debate. 

What was dubbed a 'special emergency session' was a very rare one - considering it was only the 11th in the UN's history. Such sessions are typically called when on pressing issues of war and peace at times the Security Council can't reach unanimous consensus - and obviously Russia has veto power when it comes to UNSC resolutions.

"The crisis could have been ended and the war easily avoided if President Biden had simply promised not to accept Ukraine’s becoming a member of NATO. But they chose not to do so." -Tulsi Gabbard

Russia Held Drills With Nuclear Submarines Simultaneous To Ukraine Invasion

Analysts warn of danger scenarios: "an accidental first strike in response to misinterpreted or incorrect intelligence or uncontrolled escalation..."

Authored by Jessica Corbett: Russia further elevated concerns about global catastrophe as on Tuesday its "nuclear submarines sailed off for drills in the Barents Sea and mobile missile launchers roamed snow forests" in Siberia just days after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine and put his nation's nuclear forces on "special alert."

Anti-nuclear campaigners who have condemned the Russian leader's actions over the past week also blasted the military exercises that Russia's Northern Fleet said were designed to "train maneuvering in stormy conditions," according to the Associated Press.

The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) tweeted the report and said that "drills with nuclear weapons are never acceptable and are particularly dangerous intense times."

The Headlines Say It All

'In short the dumbshit Zelensky was deceived and used by his American & European “friends” for the purpose of giving Russia a black eye in the presstitute media, and the dumbshit Europeans have shot themselves in the foot and are bearing the cost of the alleged “sanctions on Russia.”  What a stupid world the Western one is.  How much better it would have been to agree to Russia’s reasonable security concerns.' -Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

Defending Freedom And Democracy Sure Requires An Awful Lot Of Censorship

'As we watch the same empire that just destroyed Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen being entrusted to carefully navigate extremely delicate nuclear brinkmanship escalations without ending the world, if we might perhaps be better off with a lot more dissent, rather than a lot less.'

RT has lost its Sky TV slot in the UK, where the outlet is also blocked on YouTube. Australian TV providers SBS and Foxtel have dropped RT, and the federal government is putting pressure on social media platforms to block Russian media in Australia.

Will Ukraine Crisis Backfire On America?

Dr. Ron Paul: As the Russian attack on Ukraine continues, there are more and more moves in the US to weaponize banking and money itself in an attempt to "punish" Russia for its aggression.
