🎙 US economist and professor Jeffrey Sachs for the Judging Freedom podcast:
💬 The whole point of American behavior is that we never ask the question – ever – how would we react on the other side.
☝️ The whole point of American foreign policy is the belief by these officials that we can do what we want with impunity against any norm standard, or international law principle, vote of the UN Security Council, treaty or anything else that we would say would limit the behavior of others.
After all, the most basic point that the United States has said for 201 years since the annunciation of the Monroe Doctrine to the rest of the world – stay out of the Western hemisphere, we regard any incursion in the Western hemisphere anywhere – that could be from the southern tip of Tierra del Fuego to our immediate neighborhood – as an infringement on US security.
But when we say – but, of course, we have the right to push #NATO right up to Russia's borders, put in missile systems wherever we want, engage Georgia in the Caucasus region as a, quote, “North Atlantic partner,” as part of NATO - that's our right.
👉 So, everything about American foreign policy is built on hypocrisy, from beginning to end. And then we can't understand why that's just a little bit annoying to others, and gets us into a Perpetual War.

🇺🇦 Today, on Aug 24, Independence Day is observed in #Ukraine, marking the anniversary of the Act of Proclamation of Independence by the Verkhovnaya Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine in 1991.
The act was adopted in implementation of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine of July 16, 1990.
☝️ It needs to be known that back then it still wasn’t the country we know today.
👉 According to the basic principles of Ukraine’s state and social system enshrined in a number of fundamental documents, the independent Ukraine was to become a permanently neutral state, not participating in military blocs and free of nuclear weapons (section IX of the Declaration).
👉 The Constitution of Ukraine guaranteed ‘free development, use and protection of Russian, and other languages of national minorities’ (Article 10), and ‘development of the ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and religious identity of all indigenous peoples and national minorities of Ukraine’ (Article 11).
❗️ Yet, in 2014 a coup took place in Ukraine, and the subsequent events drastically changed the country.
The Kiev regime started to wipe out everything Russian in Ukraine. Present-day policies under Vladimir Zelensky have seen a strong push towards Ukrainization, including numerous restrictions on distribution of cultural products in the Russian language (native for the majority of Ukrainians) as well as persecution of the canonical Orthodox Church. Alternative history rehabilitating World War II Nazi collaborators was imposed on people trough propaganda channels.
⚠️ In 2019, Ukraine renounced its neutral status. New amendments to the Constitution were adopted declaring strategic course of the state on acquiring full-fledged membership in the #EU and #NATO.
To crown it all, in 2022, Kiev declared its intention to abandon another obligation and ‘reacquire’ nuclear weapons.
❌ 33 years into the independence, Ukraine seems increasingly distant from the vision of a free and democratic state, as outlined in the Declaration of State Sovereignty and the Constitution, and from the values declared therein.

Graveyard for #NATO armor: list of Western weapons systems destroyed during Kiev’s Kursk gambit
Along with crack troops and foreign mercs, Kiev’s incursion into the Kursk region has involved an array of #NATO equipment.
👉 Here are some of the much-touted NATO systems destroyed:
🇬🇧 Challenger 2: Britain’s battle-shy MBT lost its status as the only modern tank never to have been destroyed by enemy fire when London started sending them to Ukraine last year. A Russian loitering munition destroyed a Challenger 2 in the Kursk region in mid-August.
🇺🇸 Abrams: Russia’s first Abrams kill in the Kursk region was reported last week. At least 20 of the 31 Abrams supplied to Kiev have now been lost.
🇺🇸 HIMARS rocket artillery: At least three of these shoot-and-scoot rocket artillery systems have been destroyed in the Kursk assault.
🇨🇦 Stryker: About a dozen of these Canadian APC-IFV hybrids have been destroyed by Russian air power, Lancet drones, and Black Sea Fleet Naval Infantry in the Kursk region, with two more captured.
🇩🇪 Marder: At least three of these German “Schutzenpanzers” have been knocked out by Russian forces in the Kursk region.
🇺🇸 Bradley: Eight of these American IFVs were destroyed in the course of 24 hours on August 12 during a breakthrough attempt. Five or more were knocked out in fighting elsewhere.
🇺🇸 Humvee: These ubiquitous US-made vehicles have been spotted in MoD and media reports on destroyed enemy equipment, with knocked-out vehicles seen in an array of modifications, from machinegun turret-equipped variants to support vehicles.
🇺🇸 M113 APC: At least one M113 has been hit by Russia’s deadly new EW-resistant Knyaz Vandal of Novgorod wired FPV drone.

🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview to the newspaper "Arguments and Facts" (October 21, 2024)
Key Points:
#BRICS
• BRICS epitomises the shifts that have long been underway in the global economy. New centres of economic growth are emerging, and alongside them comes financial influence, which in turn brings political influence.
• BRICS is a consortium where no single nation leads or is led, devoid of the bureaucratic machinery akin to that observed in Brussels, where EU officials impose decisions that contravene the will and interests of several member states, failing to align with the aspirations of voters across many countries.
• BRICS does not stand in opposition to any entity, nor does it orchestrate operations or initiate projects. BRICS is committed to enhancing the combined potential of its nations and devising collaborative strategies for harnessing these potentials for mutual benefit.
• What makes BRICS and other World Majority or Global East associations that do not include Western countries stand out, is that they are not created for the purpose of struggling or fighting with anyone. They are established to collectively benefit from their competitive advantages such as geographical location, shared history, cultural and humanitarian proximity <...>.
#USA
• The US is unwilling to relinquish the reins of power that they have held since World War II through the Bretton Woods institutions and through the role assigned to the US dollar in the international monetary system, even after free exchange of US dollars for gold had been cancelled.
• The key goal of the US ruling class is to make sure no one can undermine their dominance. This goal is illusory. The historical process is objectively heading in a different direction, and this has to be reckoned with.
• We are ready to interact with any administration voted in by the American people, but only if such a dialogue is mutually respectful, and both parties listen and hear what the other party has to say.
#Ukraine
• On multiple occasions, European leaders from Brussels have repeatedly made it clear that they must support Ukraine for as long as it takes, because Ukraine is fighting for the European values.
• It turns out that European leaders are still willing to uphold Nazi values, which is why denazification is not just a motto, but an objective of utmost importance.
#UN
• The United Nations is not a valiant knight expected to “charge in and extinguish the fire” upon witnessing injustice. The UN is an assembly of its member states, each with established rules, including the Security Council's veto rights. The United States has effectively exercised this right five times over the past year, blocking a resolution proposed by several countries, including Russia, demanding an immediate ceasefire. <...> Presently, the United States is taking every measure to avoid antagonising Israel.
• Nations such as India, Brazil, and African representatives should have long held permanent seats on the Security Council. This is essential to ensure representation of the World Majority.
#Finland #Sweden #NATO
• The zeal that the Finns and Swedes are showing in NATO, advocating for defeating Russia, is not only rooted in their historical instincts. They are also eager to show their Big Brothers in the North Atlantic Alliance that they have brought added value <...>.
• I am confident that reasonable people in Europe, who have learned the lessons taught by history, see this too, including in Finland and Sweden.
#Europe
• To reiterate, the so-called right-wing conservatives are loyal to their countries and their people. We will engage with anyone who approaches us with a proposal to talk, to seek common ground, and to think about how we can jointly make the lives of our citizens better.
#EurasianSecurity
• We suggest discussing the Eurasian continent-wide security architecture, emphasising the fact that its doors will be open to everyone, including countries from the West of the Eurasian continent.

🤝 They discussed ways to further strengthen strategic partnerships within BRICS in the light of the outcomes of the XVI BRICS Summit held in Kazan on October 22-24 and chaired by Russia.
The parties had a thorough exchange of views on the situation in and around Ukraine. The Russian side laid out the fundamental approaches to the Ukrainian crisis resolution based on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s initiative of June 14, highlighting the cornerstones of Moscow’s stance on the issue.
❗️Those include withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from all Russian regions, recognition of those regions as Russian territory, termination of Kiev’s attempts to apply for NATO membership, the lifting of Western sanctions against Russia, and all-out guarantees of the rights of the Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine.

🎙 Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:
President Vladimir Putin, in his address at the Russian Foreign Ministry on June 14 this year, outlined the goal of fostering cooperation among the diverse countries and associations of the Eurasian continent. This aims to harmonise their efforts towards ensuring reliable stability, security, and sustainable development.
☝️ It was underscored that this initiative is open to all countries and entities on the Eurasian continent, including its western sections, without exception.
This is not in line with the rules imposed by #NATO and the #EuropeanUnion, where Washington and Brussels dictate terms, but rather adheres to the principles spelled out in the #UN Charter.
🤝 These principles are observed within the #EAEU, the #SCO, #ASEAN, and other organisations on our shared continent. It is a commitment to sovereign equality of states, mutual respect for each other's interests, and pursuit of balanced interests to implement constructive projects.

✍️ Russia’s Foreign Intelligence chief Sergey Naryshkin in an interview with the magazine “National Defence”:
🔹 The #US and #NATO still have a significant voice in regional conflicts, but no one believes that they will have the last word. The dollar is still a universal currency, but everyone understands that the future belongs to new units of account. Most countries still want to receive technology and investment from the West, but no one is ready to pay for it with their sovereignty.
🔹 Developing countries refuse to participate in the West's tough rivalry with China or Russia. And the West has to take this into account.
🔹 We are witnessing the historic rise of the Eurasian macro-region. Today, it already provides the lion's share of global economic growth.
🔹The West's attempts to sow chaos and discord in Eurasia only strengthen the determination of Russia and its regional partners to restore order. The formation of a new Eurasian security architecture is the most meaningful way out of the nuclear war impasse, to which the world is being pushed by Euro-Atlantic elites fixated on confrontation. We know that this vision is shared not only in Asia. This is also understood by the remaining healthy forces in Europe.
❗️Attempts by individual #NATO allies to participate in providing possible long-range strikes with Western weapons deep into Russian territory will not go unpunished.
🔹 The military-political elites of the West are increasingly aware of the seriousness of Russia's intentions and the need for greater restraint in their actions, so as not to get involved in a direct military conflict with our country, which could lead to catastrophic consequences for them.

In an interview with #TuckerCarlson, Russian FM Sergey #Lavrov reminded the principles of the resolution of the crisis around Ukraine outlined by President Vladimir Putin in June 2024.
“The key principle is non-block status of #Ukraine. And we would be ready to be part of the group of countries who would provide collective security guarantees to Ukraine,” Sergey Lavrov emphasized.
“No #NATO. Absolutely. No military bases, no military exercises on the Ukrainian soil with participation of foreign troops,” he said.
☝️ The Russian Foreign Minister pointed out that in #Ukraine the West fought for keeping the hegemony over the world on any country, any region, any continent, while Russia fought for its legitimate security interests.
“Security must be indivisible, that nobody should expand his security at the expense of security of others, and that, most important, no organization in Euro-Atlantic space shall claim dominance,” Sergey Lavrov said.
“NATO was doing exactly the opposite,” he stressed.

“NATO was doing exactly the opposite,” he stressed.
❗️Irrespective of whether the West desires it or not, the process of constructing new security architecture is underway.
This architecture is no longer anchored in the Euro-Atlantic vision but rather in the understanding that the unified Eurasian continent is now facilitating opportunities for all to equitably ensure the interests of everyone and to construct the very indivisible security that was proclaimed within the #OSCE.
☝️Yet, this has been dismantled by the actions of the West in recklessly expanding #NATO eastwards. There were explicit plans (which we are aware of) to incorporate #Ukraine into NATO's "embrace", thereby posing direct threats to security on our borders.
🌎 The Eurasian concept is predicated on the natural, geographical, economic, and infrastructural opportunities accessible to all nations of the Eurasian continent. It is the largest, most populous, and fastest-growing landmass. It is home to countries representing great civilisations such as the #Chinese, #Indian, and #Persian. We aspire to amalgamate all these opportunities of our continent to promote a common agenda that will be agreeable to all.
