Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova today answered questions from International Affairs magazine about the results of the NATO summit thus providing us with yet another official point-of-view that as one can see from the headline already differs somewhat from Russia’s previous descriptive rhetoric.
My favorite line from Ms. Zakharova's remarks might be "Name me a country that has no ambition." When there's hypocrisy about, she hones right in on it. Even a cursory comparison of the language used by her, Lavrov, etc. versus that of the West's so-called officials reveals that the former deal in substance and the latter in platitudes.
In criminal law, a person who provides weapons to a person, he knows that he will commit murder with that weapon, is an accomplice to murder. That's the relationship between NATO and Ukraine.
Good stuff as usual Karl. You are a valuable source of information and wisdom that resonates with me, even a casual mention of Michael Hudson yesterday provided an illuminating hour or so of a three-way discussion. Thanks for making your work available on substack.
I was able to make an appearance on the Hudson Patreon members podcast that was held on the 13th and made a few points. Him and I share the historical Big Picture relative to the roots of the current crisis. I was very lucky to obtain the first edition of "Super Imperialism" in 1974 which rekindled my interest in history.

She sure has what's known as a rapier wit, sharp and incisive, which is a joy to read aside from the context.

Indeed and one I've touted since Maidan.
