Prudently Silent,
US ‘just lost a war with Russia’ – Tucker Carlson
In an interview with Alex Jones published on Wednesday, Carlson accused those perpetuating the hostilities of ignoring that Russia has emerged victorious.
”We just lost a war with Russia,” the former Fox News host declared. “The US was running that war – the US military, the Pentagon, State Department, CIA – running the war against Russia. It was not… was never about Ukraine.” Carlson expressed concern that “nobody will say that out loud – that we’re overstating our power.” ... “That’s called hubris and that’s how empires get destroyed and populations vaporized,” Carlson warned. “Maybe we should readjust our expectations a little bit.” https://swentr.site/news/615514-carlson-us-loss-russia/

Gilbert Doctorow with Professor Glenn Diesen: Transatlantic Ties Unraveling
The brief summary that Professor Diesen has attached to this 35-minute interview reads: “The US seeks to readjust to a multipolar world, and Europe’s relevance and priority have declined. Beyond Europe’s efforts to sabotage Trump’s peace initiative in Ukraine and the tariff wars, there is a deeper contempt for Europe that is no longer concealed.” https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/04/10/professor-glenn-diesen-transatlantic-ties-unraveling/
Transcript of that interview. Russia needs "reassurances", like the return of Russian diplomatic property in the US and also Russian financial property. Russia wonders if they will really have a "partner for detente", which they had in Richard Nixon, until he was deposed. Color-revolution moves against Trump and the difficulties he is having with $US and trade reset are important. Will he last after his first 100 days? https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/04/11/transcript-of-interview-with-professor-glenn-diesen-10-april/

All the dead villagers in Vietnam became "VC". Israel targeted my colleague in an airstrike, claiming that he was a Hamas fighter. Israel is lying.
Israel targeted my colleague, Hassan Eslayeh, claiming that he was a Hamas fighter. This isn’t the first time Israel has used this lie to justify targeting journalists, paramedics, and rescue workers. https://mondoweiss.net/2025/04/israel-targeted-my-colleague-in-an-airstrike-claiming-that-he-was-a-hamas-fighter-israel-is-lying/ Israeli Air Force commanders threatened Wednesday to expel approximately 970 personnel — including pilots, officers and soldiers — if they do not withdraw their signatures from a letter demanding an end to the war in the Gaza Strip, local media reported.
Israeli daily Haaretz reported that “about 970 aircrew members, some in active reserve service, signed the letter opposing the war but not calling for refusal to serve.”
In recent days, senior Air Force leaders made personal phone calls to reservists who endorsed the message, urging them to retract their support, the outlet said. Commanders informed the reservists they face dismissal if they refuse to comply, according to Haaretz.
Following the threat, only 25 signatories withdrew their names, while eight others requested to add their signatures.
