Who are we standing with when we stand with Ukraine?

Ukrainian Exploits and Attacks in Russia could lead to Nuclear War

By Dark Politricks 

At the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it seemed that some sense prevailed among Western leaders not to engage fully in the war encase that it led to a full-blown NATO v Russian World War 3 scenario.

However as the war progressed, and as"battlefield" experts kept claiming that Russia was on the defence. That their masterplan to storm and take Kyiv with a force at least an eighth of the size needed for the job of taking and controlling a city of millions had been halted, the rhetoric increased wildly, and "preventing World War 3", became "Making Money From Flooding Ukraine With Weapons".

There was of course Ukrainian propaganda showing disillusioned Russian POWS ringing their Mums whilst being filmed (a breach of the Geneva war treaty), and saying they didn't even know they were in Ukraine or had been misled and misfed, however, what would you say to your enemy when captured and not wanting to die on film?

It is no lie that some scared Russian generals had lied to Putin saying that they would be welcomed in every town they passed on the way to Kyiv, and they were quick to be dispatched and replaced by men who could get the job done seeing that the Zelenskyy government did not just fall at the sight of a 40 mile line of tanks outside its capital. 

However, this massive force did do its part in "shaping the battlefield" by keeping a large proportion of the Ukrainian army in the west to defend the capital whilst their main objectives in the East were carried out. So sorry to say to the armchair generals, many on the boards of MIC companies who are making money from prolonging this war, that this was in no way a sign that the Ukrainians were "winning". 

To remind those people who think the aim of the invasion was just to invade Kyiv, the initial declared objectives were:

  1. Defend and take back the breakaway Russian-speaking parts of the DonbassDonetsk and Lugansk who had signed a military cooperation treaties with Russia as it was clear Ukrainian forces were encircling their areas, as well as on the way to take back Crimea who had already broken away from Ukraine years ago.
  2. De-Nazify the Ukrainian military who had encompassed the AZOV Militia into the main army as a brigade and who were the main instigators of the many atrocities and massacres that had occurred during the last 8 years of fighting in the Donbass region. 
  3.  De-militarise Ukraine so that its NATO trained army was no longer a force to be reckoned with.
  4.  Ensure Ukraine did NOT join NATO as was being touted by the Western "Defensive" Organisation. 

As I have detailed in past articles, the lies that Russia was told about NATO not moving an inch toward Russia's borders since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and their desire to fight Russia in some way have long been known. Russia is vilified by the US Press at every election for supposed interfering as if the US never interferes in other country's elections, all despite proof coming out that this was just an excuse Hillary Clinton made up due to her loss to an orange-faced game show host.  

The debunked #Russiagate scandal was literally a made-up invention by Hillary's team on election night, and recent court cases showing her involvement in propagating the lies with other Clinton-linked insiders have been leaking day by day. 

However, despite Russia being the target of lies to cover Hillary Clinton's Presidential loss, the massive Russophobia that the US clearly had after these lies was not the cause of this current anti-Russian sentiment. The Afghan war was over, the MIC was looking for a new enemy to make money from, and Russia has always been a historical target of the US & UK, and now they have dragged the EU, which up until recently had good relationships with Russia, especially Germany, into their sanction misfire. 

As well as causing massive economic issues, and ignoring the Minsk accords which was a European solution to the Ukrainian Donbass separatist civil war, the US far away from their wars, as usual, has decided to use Ukraine as their next battlefield to "make Russia so weak it can’t invade another country again", as said recently by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

The immediate rash of mad sanctions which have in fact hurt Europe more than Russia was an ill-thought-out tactic and as Russia starts turning the gas pipes off to Poland and Bulgaria (who are forced to buy more expensive Russian Gas through Germany) has just caused high inflation, food shortages, and high energy costs in the west. 

As you can see from this graph of inflation for the month of March in the EU (7.8%), it ranges from a high of 15.6% in Lithuania to 4.5% in Malta. The UK which is not in the EU, currently has the highest rate of inflation in 30 years, between 8-10% depending on who you listen to, and an average 54% increase in energy has not even been calculated yet or the cost of Gazprom's higher-priced gas, the inflation rate is set to sore into double figures by summer.


So whilst the plan of the sanctions was to crush the Russian economy and hopefully cause an uprising and overthrow of Putin's regime, it has in fact strengthened him and the rouble as the Russian people clearly see that their politician's rhetoric about the West hating Russia, is in fact, very true. This has given Putin carte blanche to go full ahead in his war with Ukraine as the Russian people now realise how Russophobic the west really is.

So as Russia forces EU countries to pay for their gas in roubles not dollars or Euro's, and whilst the EU and US are staggering into a recession, Russia is booming, with a massive surplus of roubles, and has started what looks like the destruction of the Petrodollars reign as currency supreme as they join the two most populous countries in the world, China and India in economic treaties, selling gas to allies on the cheap and cutting it off to European countries who refuse to inflate the value of the rouble by paying for the gas they want in their own currency. 

This is all despite the USA warning China of sanctions, and threats to India which have been ignored making the US look weak. However, they are perfectly happy with overthrowing governments like Imran Khan's in Pakistan for daring to ally with China, Russia, and Iran and supporting Palestine. In fact when the media speaks of international outrage at Russia's invasion they can only really count on the members of NATO and those few countries like Pakistan, which they control from afar.
 
People seem to forget that Russia actually has allies in this battle, and whilst up until the war, the west was still criticising Ukraine for its rampant corruption and the far-right element who seems to control the President, Zelenskyy. The neo-NAZI element in Ukraine is a despicable problem, and during the last month, they have been causing atrocities that the West has been ignoring all whilst parroting lies about mass graves, massacres, and Russian attacks on Schools and Hospitals. 

This is a right-wing element who brags on Telegram, whilst laughing at Western media who likes to skip over the NAZI part, as they brag about being NAZI's, showing off tattoos of Swastikas on their backs like in the next video, and they have all been trained by NATO forces to do the dirty fighting that includes using human shields placed in hospital maternity wards and schools. They placed big guns, tanks, and other heavy arms on the roofs and on the bottom floors, all with kidnapped Ukrainian human shields in the middle of the buildings. 

Of course, they ensured their own cars were moved from the area before they exploded bombs in the buildings and then claimed Russia had bombed these hospitals and schools from the air. The following video from Redacted have inserts from Tel-SUR, an AZOV soldier bragging about being a NAZI, and debunks the mass grave story which was doing the rounds lately.

So these NAZI's have no qualms about killing other Ukrainians all to blame on Russia, which of course the Western media just repeats as gospel without even a question raised. If it wasn't for the brave journalists on the ground like Patrick Lancaster who has been reporting on the truth of the war in the Donbass for the last 8 years, then many people would be none the wiser about the truth of the civil war that has been raging in east Ukraine for the last 8 years.

Here is a report I doubt any of you would have heard due to the West disbelieving anything that shows Ukrainian war crimes or paints their war with Russia in a bad light, even when the AZOV NAZI brigade kills Ukrainians and use them as human shields as detailed in Patricks video.

The fact that it is actually a proxy war being run by the US and NATO members from the western parts of Ukraine, which they seem to be able to enter and leave by whim, is a fact left out of many people's news on Ukraine's fight with Russia

Whilst many people believe that they are standing with a proud Ukraine, led by the actor Zelenskyy, who has done nothing to deserve the Russian invasion and wants to win the war with Russia. It is actually the west, NATO, the US, and UK, who are directing the Ukrainian forces from their bases on the edges of the country. A fact that has not gone amiss by Putin and one that has been broadcast many times, for anyone who wants to know the full truth about the invasion.

This is just one report from a French journalist who went to Ukraine only to find out it was a war being run by NATO and the US, not Ukraine.

So when you virtue signal to the world by pinning a Ukrainian flag to your Twitter profile or other social media site, what is it that you are actually standing for?

Does it mean to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, as NATO seems to want, not caring about the civilians caught up in the war or the trapped soldiers with no supplies coming that are told to fight to the death?

Does it mean to pour more and more heavy weaponry into the country, despite the US not knowing where or even caring where it ends up. From one analysis, only 10% of all western arms are getting anywhere near the battlefields as Russian intelligence seems able to blow up most incoming western arms, as well as foreign legion training centres. They also blow up the railroads that would be needed to allow the transport of these arms eastwards where they are actually needed.

The other day on Ukrainian TV it was reported that Russia had hit a "hangar full of European and US weapons". Putin also claimed that "all objectives will be met" as he warns of "lightning fast" retaliation against any country that interferes.

Also, recently, Russia warned the UK of an immediate and "proportional response" if it continues direct provocation of Ukraine and warned of the likelihood of nuclear war if NATO members continue to interfere in the war.

Also, a former head of the Polish army has accused Boris Johnson of “tempting evil” by revealing that Ukrainian soldiers were being trained in Poland in how to use British anti-aircraft missiles before returning with them to Ukraine. Gen Waldemar Skrzypczak, also a former junior defence minister, complained that a loose-lipped prime minister had revealed too much to the Russians and that his remarks risked the safety of the soldiers involved. 

So more money and western weaponry go down the Ukrainian drain, and we are stupid to think that the Russians would not be able to detect and destroy any heavy weapons we try to smuggle into the country. 

The western meddling by sending SAS saboteurs into Lviv, Ukraine, and NATO, who is really running the show, commanding Ukrainian attacks into Russia and the war in general. All this is only making the day that a proxy war in which we are indebting Ukraine for decades to western banks whilst filling the coffers of the MIC, turns into a full-blown war with Russia closer and closer.

As RT is banned in most places, I have screenshotted their latest headline piece which warns of a nuclear conflict if we continue to fight Russia through Ukraine.

So does standing with Ukraine mean allowing ourselves to be turned into shadows on the pavement due to our political leader's long-held desire to fight Russia? 

Their new Satan2 missile has already been shown off to warn us that they can hit us anywhere on earth, defeating any anti-missile defences, and turn a small country like the UK into atomic dust instantly.

So does standing with Ukraine mean to stand with the AZOV NAZI brigade, a term that was all over Western media before the war, but now excuses are made for their views, despite training videos of them all over social media appearing with NAZI symbols on their coats as they get trained by western forces.

Or does it mean to stand with a definitely non-democratic society as Ukraine plainly is? 

A corrupt political society that has been infected with racist ideology to the point that even the Jewish President is following the orders of Right-Wing, anti-semites, as he bans all other political parties, imprisons political leaders, prevents free speech, and denies Russian speakers in the East basic human rights. Even, ex Presidential candidate and serving US Army medic Tulsi Gabbard tweeted recently the following.

The usual solid US allies in Israel are also not happy with the US support of Ukrainian NAZI's who the world went to war to stop in the 30's and 40's as the US lifts bans on funding neo-NAZI Ukrainian groups. 

As the Jerusalem Post said in a recent article:

"Last June, Congress passed a resolution intended to block American military funding for Ukraine from being used to provide training or weaponry for the Azov Battalion, an independent unit that had been integrated into the former Soviet Republic’s national guard and was taking part in operations against Russian- backed rebels."

"Called a “neo-Nazi paramilitary militia” by Congressmen John Conyers Jr. and Ted Yoho, who co-sponsored the bipartisan amendment, the battalion has been a source of controversy since its inception. However, Congress is reported to have recently repealed its ban on a Ukrainian militia accused of being neo-Nazi, opening the way for American military assistance."


So does "Standing with Ukraine" mean to stand with an army full of NAZI's being commanded by US and NATO from the shadows, who commit war crimes on video such as the killing of Russian POWS

Or does it mean to stand with the "National Police" (ex AZOV Battalion members), who publicly announced a "cleansing" of the town of Bucha, in which bodies left on the street for a supposed two weeks were not mentioned when the town was reclaimed but then days later when the Russians had long left the town, seemingly freshly killed bodies appeared in videos on social media with claims of war crimes being laid at Russia's feet.

All the bodies had white bands on, either tying their hands behind them or on their arms, some with Russian aid packages by their sides, both clear signs of retribution against Russian sympathisers who took aid from the Russian forces. This was a false flag attack that only Ukraine gained anything from and in which Russian denials are heard by no-one.

Now that this and other war crimes blamed on Russia were debunked by video, and the killings of POWS were allowed onto social media, the "Democratic Ukraine" we stand with, has made it illegal to film Russian attacks, lest they be debunked by online sleuths. One such debunking was done at the location of a missile attack at the Kramatorsk train station.

From one source:

"The relationship of the booster when it came to earth, when assessed to the impact zone of the cluster munitions, provides a reverse azimuth which, even when factoring in a generous margin of error for potential drift, points to territory that was under the exclusive control of the Ukrainian government, which means that there is little doubt that the missile that struck the Kramatorsk train station was fired by a launcher under the operational control of the 19th Missile Brigade, Ukraine’s only Tochka-U-equipped unit..... a forensic evaluation of the missile debris clearly shows that it was launched by the 19th Ukrainian Missile Brigade, based near Dobropolia, some 45 kilometres from Kramatorsk."

Of course, this is denied by Bellingcat that well known source of US/UK intelligence disinformation, who aided extremists in Syria and specialises in Russian attack pieces. 

This is a source that must be overlooked, just like the BBC, UK State TV if ever a news organisation was if we are also expected to overlook other supposed "biased" sources such as Russia Today.

So does "Standing with Ukraine" mean standing with the journalists who dare speak out about Ukrainian crimes and then just disappear or turn up dead? 

Just recently one journalist, Gonzalo Lira, disappeared for a week, only to return without his computer or phone, not allowed to tell anyone what had happened but insinuating that he was being investigated for something, and maybe even tried in a AZOV court for speaking about what he saw on the ground in Ukraine? He follows a long line of journalists who have gone missing in Ukraine and are presumed dead for reporting uncomfortable truths.

So why are we standing with Ukraine?

Well as the US Pentagon is only too happy to admit, it is to give Russia such a bloody nose and to kill as many Russians as possible. 

Here are just a few quotes:

On 24 February, during a White House press conference on the first day of Russia’s invasion, Biden said sanctions are designed not to prevent invasion but to punish Russia after invading “…so the people of Russia know what he has brought on them. That is what this is all about.”, this is despite of course the obvious fact by high inflation numbers and increasing heating costs that Europe is paying a high price to "punish Putin".

On 27 February, James Heappey, UK Minister for the Armed Forces, wrote in the Daily Telegraph: “His failure must be complete; Ukrainian sovereignty must be restored, and the Russian people empowered to see how little he cares for them. In showing them that, Putin’s days as President will surely be numbered… He’ll lose power and he won’t get to choose his successor.” 

Finally, on 1 March, Boris Johnson’s spokesperson said the sanctions on Russia “we are introducing, that large parts of the world are introducing, are to bring down the Putin regime.”

So whilst anybody can sympathise with the displaced and killed Ukrainians who had nothing to do with Putin's invasion. It is totally stupid to believe that the act of invading Ukraine was totally irrational to anybody but those still sucking the teat of US/UK mainstream media

The war began after the US-led Maiden coup in 2014, and the people of Donbass have been fighting a civil war for their rights ever since.

This article by Retired Swiss Military-Intelligence Officer, Jacques Baud, gives some context to those who think the war only started a month and a bit ago. 

Here is an extract:

"The referendums conducted by the two self-proclaimed Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in May 2014, were not referendums of "independence" (независимость), as some unscrupulous journalists have claimed, but referendums of "self-determination" or "autonomy" (самостоятельность). The qualifier "pro-Russian" suggests that Russia was a party to the conflict, which was not the case, and the term "Russian speakers" would have been more honest. Moreover, these referendums were conducted against the advice of Vladimir Putin."

"In fact, these Republics were not seeking to separate from Ukraine, but to have a status of autonomy, guaranteeing them the use of the Russian language as an official language — because the first legislative act of the new government resulting from the American-sponsored overthrow of [the democratically-elected] President Yanukovych, was the abolition, on February 23, 2014, of the Kivalov-Kolesnichenko law of 2012 that made Russian an official language in Ukraine. A bit like if German putschists decided that French and Italian would no longer be official languages in Switzerland."

"This decision caused a storm in the Russian-speaking population. The result was fierce repression against the Russian-speaking regions (Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Lugansk and Donetsk) which was carried out beginning in February 2014 and led to a militarization of the situation and some horrific massacres of the Russian population (in Odessa and Mariupol, the most notable)......." read the rest of the article here.

Now if you want to "Stand with Ukraine", then really you should qualify what you mean. I stand with the Ukrainian people who have been displaced and killed by the war, but I also stand with the Ukrainians in the Donbass region who have been discriminated against, massacred, and attacked by the NAZI element in the Ukrainian army that many like to overlook when it comes to this war.

I don't stand with Putin, but I stand with the poor people of Ukraine who will be indebted to US and international banks like the IMF for decades to come for all the weapons poured into the country, only to be mostly destroyed on delivery by the Russians. 

If you think war debt is nothing to worry about just realise that it was only under Gordon Brown's rule as Prime Minister of the UK, that we paid back in full the debt we owed to the USA for "help" during World War II.

Of course, the most powerful country on earth is only too happy to help anyone out in a war, especially against an enemy of their own, even more so if it means that their own weapons companies get paid, and countries are indebted for decades due to their "help". 

However, I think that we are getting too near the edge of what can be considered acceptable help for Ukraine when their soldiers are stuck in Mariupol, told not to surrender and to fight to their deaths, as no help, weapons, or food comes, and Russian shells rain down on them mercilessly.

I don't want to be involved in the West's proxy war with Russia, where they want to fight to the last Ukrainian, not helping those left to rot in the Azovstal factories, as US and UK politicians debate their next attack on Russia. 

If it was left to Ukraine, with no western interference, then the peace talks which the Russians started at the same time as their invasion would have concluded by now and there would be some sort of settlement. It is the west who is continuing the slaughter in Ukraine and no one should be in doubt of this fact. 

I leave you with this video from the Redacted YouTube channel about the likelihood of this proxy war turning hot as the MIC makes a mint from the selling of weapons to Ukraine.

Please leave a comment and explain what you mean when you say that "You Stand With Ukraine".

Turkish F16 planes force down a Syrian flight full or Russian passengers


Turkish fighter planes force down Syrian flight bringing the nations closer to war

By Dark Politricks

If you haven't heard, and you probably haven't if you are hooked into the mainstream media, tonight a Syrian plane taken Russian passengers to Damascus was intercepted by Turkish F16 planes and diverted to Ankara, Turkey.

Reports from passengers and aircrew have rang up the Russia Today news channel and claimed that they have been beaten by masked men, forced to sign papers they don't understand and had their luggage checked.

However the BBC News report I have found makes no mention of this and as expected takes the western talking point of a legitimate "stop n search" tactic which may have prevented arms getting to the Assad regime.

Turkey is reportedly trying to stop weapons getting into Syria and the Turkish foreign minister has claimed that the passengers will be allowed to continue but luggage found on the plane will not.

However from non axis of war aligned country reports Turkey has been allowing weapons to flow to the Free Syrian Army for a long time so they are only trying to stop weapons getting to the Assad regime and not in general to lower tensions in general between both sides of the conflict.
"..because of the clear evidence that we received, we negotiated with our prime minister and decided to let the plane fly on to Syria with the passengers, but we are going to hold on to the material because of the ongoing investigation and the next steps."
"Our investigation is continuing. Since there might be materials that were supposed to be declared but have not been, we are holding this material in our hands to continue to inspect."
From an article on Russia Today which is telling the story at the moment.
Earlier, Davutoglu said that Ankara had received intelligence that the Syrian plane was carrying "certain equipment in breach of civil aviation rules 
The Turkish authorities were interested in some spare parts, which a businessman bought in Russia and was transporting to Syria 
“They started unloading some packages. They opened them, took pictures. There were many people. We all saw what was in there. There were no weapons. You could see it with an unaided eye!” she said.
It seems that after last weeks possible false flag attack in which NATO weapons were fired from within Syria back into Turkey killing a number of Turkish citizens, it seems that the western axis of war UK/USA/France is prepared to go down the "one attack on a NATO country is an attack on all" route to get their war.

They are doing this as they have been blocked in the UN at every turn by Russia and China who want to see mediation between both sides in the conflict, and not be tricked into signing up to another UN declaration that could lead to another NATO led war like the one in Libya.

The mortar used to attack the Turkish town of Akcakale is a design specific to NATO and was given to Syrian rebels by Ankara, according to Turkey’s Yurt newspaper. The mortar killed one adult and four children from the same family on Wednesday.

An article by the paper’s Editor-in-Chief, Merdan Yanardag, states that the newspaper received information from a reliable source, which claimed that Turkey itself sent the mortars to rebels in the so-called "Syrian Free Army."
Turkey is a longtime member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and they’re going to act in conjunction with other NATO powers, so it’s unsurprising that this has happened,” editor of the Pan-African news wire, Abayomi Azikiwe, told RT.
If the UN route has been blocked due to Russian and Chinese vetoes in the same way the USA vetoes all votes on Israeli misconduct, assassinations, attacks on civilian populations and breaches of international law. It seems that the NATO "defense" route is the one that will be used to start the neo-cons next war in the Middle East.

I have already reported on this site how we are basically backing al-Qaeda terrorists, ex Gitmo detainees and religious fanatics that make up the various rebel groups that combine under the banner of the "Free Syrian Army" in the same way as we backed them in Libya.

Either we are so short sighted that we cannot see the mess we created by supporting the same type of people in their overthrow of Gaddafi in Libya.


This is the same ex al-Qaeda affiliate who was tortured on MI6 orders by the USA at Guantanamo Bay and is trying to sue the British government for doing so.

We either seem to have very short memories OR we are deliberately trying to destabilize whole areas of the Middle East to weaken support for our intended "end" enemy Iran.

A war with Iran that would drive up the price of oil, cause terrorist attacks across the western world and possibly start another World War by drawing in Russia and maybe even China.

Maybe there are even Great Depression economists advising the USA/UK/French axis of war that another World War is needed to bring ourselves out of our current global depression we are suffering in the hope of repeating the economic stimulus that was the build up of the Military Industrial Complex before World War II.

Maybe they see a big war as just what the pragmatic economist doctor would order.

Plus a few million people killed in any future global war can only be a good thing for these Malthusian followers as it will decrease the population in such a way we have not had for over 50 years now.

We have "been lucky" over the centuries that every 50 years or so an economic downturn has been followed by war, death and then a generation of peace makers who try to resolve the problems that led to the last crisis.

We are now two/three generations from those who led us to destruction in World War II and we have just had another boom and bust economic crisis which only leaves the subsequent war to come along and "clean the pipes" so to speak.

We already have the formation of far right groups gaining in political power across Europe in re-action to the imposed austerity policies being implemented on their populations by the bureaucrats in Brussels and their paymasters in Germany.

If anyone hadn't realised so far the EU has had the direct opposite effect to the one it was created for - to wrap Germany tightly into Europe and stop if from dominating the continent.

Instead Germany is now installing leaders in countries, demanding austerity measures that don't work, job cuts, tax rises and social security cuts in return for bail out funds despite the proven fact that austerity does not lead to growth. Plus Angela Merkel is greeted wherever she goes with Hilter salutes and hundreds of police to protect her fr0m barrages of Molotov cocktails.
  • Have a major national debt and huge deficit? Answer: Sack thousands of people and cut pay therefore reducing income tax to the treasury and increasing unemployment benefit pay outs. Reduce education and training, ensure your brightest talent leaves the country for one not undergoing "austerity measures" and hope the nations GDP just grows by magic.
  • Got a severe world food shortage? Answer: Kill the hungry.
  • No jobs for millions bankrupted by the global bankster created depression? Answer:  Send them to die fighting in foreign deserts in another unrequired war.
  • Need a major distraction to the bankster controlled global economy and the mass protest groups growing in strength in Europe and America? Answer: Start World War III to scare everyone witless and keep them distracted from the real enemies of this global Shakespearean play.
Conspiracy theory or plans being seriously considered?

I suppose it all depends on where you get your news from.

Here is an RT.com report on the plane hijacking that would definitely start a war if it had been Syria diverting a Turkish plane full of American passengers on it's way to the USA into their airspace.

Why Julian Assange should be granted asylum by Ecuador

By Dark Politricks

This episode of "The World Tomorrow" is the final show in the Russia Today series of interviews Julian Assange has been carrying out over the last couple of months.

He has interviewed everyone from Presidents, revolutionary leaders from the Arab Spring and Occupy Movement to intellectuals and "terrorist" leaders and if you have missed any of the shows you can watch them on my main site darkpolitricks.com/tag/the-world-tomorrow/

Lets all cross our fingers and hope Ecuador gives Julian Assange political asylum.

Rafael Correa, the President of that Ecuador was one of Julian's interviewees and the two seemed to get on really well so he may have more than an average chance of gaining asylum.

Add to this relationship the leftist group of Southern American nations, of which Ecuador is one, dislike of American Imperialism as they see it and they may just give him asylum to stick two fingers up to the empire.

However even if he and President Rafael Correa aren't the best of buddies there are many reasons why any country should give Julian Assange asylum including:
  • The USA uses Torture - a breach of international law
  • US prisons are hell holes full of male rape, drugs, violence and murder. Julian would not last very long in a US high security prison.
  • The USA executes people for certain crimes. We don't do that in Europe. We have a modicum of human rights even though they are being constantly downgraded as I speak.
  • The USA has thrown away the rule book and has decided it and it alone can be the arbitrary decider of which country is "moral" whilst attacking those it dislikes. There is no other reason why it sucks the cock of Saudi Arabia one of the most repressive and backward regimes in the world, selling it weaponry and buying it's oil whilst it boycotts Iranian oil, attacks Syria for defending it's own country from al-Qaeda terrorists and attacks China for human rights violations whilst carrying out many of the same violations itself.
  • The US military have basically tortured a US soldier Bradley Manning to get information on Julian Assange so that he can be tried under their espionage act. Something that doesn't apply to him seeing that he is not an American citizen or was in the US when the documents were obtained.
  • Julian Assange is a whistle blower that has broken many stories that the US should be protecting him for doing so. Under their own legal system whistle blowers are supposed to be accorded protection but this attack on Julian Assange, WikiLeaks and other whistle blowers shows this to be nothing more than fiction. WikiLeaks has shown the US military at it's worst - massacring Iraqi civilians, releasing documents that shows the USA has no regard for international treaties by it's desire to bug UN delegates as well as many other documents that show the USA's duplicity and illegality in world affairs.
  • The USA is using all the political pressure it can to ensure Julian Assange ends up in an orange jumpsuit. I hope he doesn't.
  • It is a shocking indictment on the West - supposed upholder of human rights and liberty that the only places that Julian Assange can get asylum are South American leftist countries like Ecuador or Venezuela or even maybe Cuba
Why is it that no European country that supposedly stands for liberty, free speech and the rule of law has offered Julian asylum? 

It would be interesting to see what would happen if Russia or China offered it to him as well as the Americans response to it. I only hope that they grow a pair and do so along with many other western countries.
As for the "The World Tomorrow" show on Russia Today this is the last show in the series.

In show ten Julian Assange speaks to the leader of the Malaysian opposition - Anwar Ibrahim. As a rising internal rival to the former Prime Minister Mahathir, Anwar was imprisoned for 5 years after being smeared with sex allegations including sodomy.

As a result of a popular campaign in 2004, his conviction was overturned and he was released from prison.

In 2008, he was again targeted for sex crimes allegations, he won the case earlier this year.

With elections looming with Anwar tipped to win, he has now been charged with unauthorised assembly. If found convicted, he will be prevented from running. Julian Assange talks to him about how he has survived and what he sees as the future of Asia and the West.

 

If you've missed the previous episodes, you can always watch them on my main site www.darkpolitricks.com under the tag "The World Tomorrow" or you can visit Julian's own site for the TV show at http://assange.RT.com.

Whether you love him, hate him, think he's a useful idiot or an Israeli tool you should respect Julian's right to free speech and the fact he has blown the whistle on a number of major American atrocities and international crimes. For that he should not be punished but applauded.
