Guerre en Ukraine

Russia’s Plan for the United States
« The interests of Russian oligarchs converge with those of Big Tech magnates. Putin and the major oligarchs, both Russian and American, believe themselves to be above the law. Putin’s con-tempt for the law goes so far that he calls into question the very notion of the state, precisely because a state is based on a legal framework and has borders, which he dislikes. Trumpism aims to replace the state with a Putin-style ‘vertical power structure’, in which officials are chosen for their loyalty rather than their compe-tence. The dismantling of the state is accompanied by deregulation, which benefits the big oligarchs who aspire to become masters of financial flows. This is why Kremlin strategists understood very early on what services Western libertarians could provide them,‘ writes Françoise Thom in Le Monde, adding: ’Douguin’s ideas have permeated Putin’s regime and inspired the policy of destroying the United States that has been implemented for the past 20 years. The aim is to inflict on the United States the same blows that it allegedly dealt to the USSR under Gorbachev, depriving it of its allies, unilaterally disarming it, ruining its economy and bringing it to the brink of civil war and dis-mantlement. Everything that the Trump administration is currently doing. » […]

Washington Has Become Nero’s Court…
Washington became the court of Nero, an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a keta-mine-fuelled jester in charge of purging the civil service… Never in history has a President of the United States capitulated to the enemy. Never has one supported an aggressor against an ally. Never has anyone trampled on the US Constitution, issued so many illegal decrees, dismissed judges who could prevent him from doing so, suddenly sacked the military high command, weakened all the checks and balances and taken control of the social networks. This is not an illiberal drift, it is the beginning of the confiscation of democracy… We were at war against a dictator, we are now fighting against a dictator suppor-ted by a traitor… Senator Claude Malhuret’s speech went viral in Europe and across the Atlantic, broadcast by CNN, Sky News and also Fox News. A video shared on social networks, on X, translated into several languages and viewed by 500,000 people on YouTube. The French senator modestly replied: ‘I think Americans would like to hear the same thing from their elected representatives.’ […]

Faire face. Et d’abord ne pas se tromper…
Washington est devenue la cour de Néron, un empereur incendiai-re, des courtisans soumis et un bouffon sous kétamine chargé de l’épuration de la fonction publi-que… Jamais dans l’histoire un président des États-Unis n’a capi-tulé devant l’ennemi. Jamais aucun n’a soutenu un agresseur contre un allié. Jamais aucun n’a piétiné la Constitution américaine, pris autant de décrets illégaux, révo-qué les juges qui pourraient l’en empêcher, limogé d’un coup l’état-major militaire, affaibli tous les contre-pouvoirs et pris le contrôle des réseaux sociaux. Ce n’est pas une dérive illibérale, c’est un début de confiscation de la démocratie. Nous étions en guer-re contre un dictateur, nous nous battons désormais contre un dictateur soutenu par un traître… Le discours du sénateur Claude Malhuret est devenu viral en Europe et outre-Atlantique. Le discours de Claude Malhuret est devenu viral en Europe et outre-Atlantique. CNN, Sky News mais aussi Fox News ont diffusé cette vidéo partagée sur les réseaux sociaux, sur X, traduite en plu-sieurs langues et vue par 500 00 personnes sur You Tube. Modeste, le sénateur français répond :« Je pense que les Américains souhai-teraient entendre la même chose de la part de leurs élus.» […]

Missiles and lies. Again
Behind every Russian missile is a barrage of lies. Another European election targeted by the Kremlin manipulations. As Russia’s missiles continue to rain down on Ukrainian cities, the Kremlin’s propaganda machine churns out cynical cookie-cutter denials in an attempt to dismiss civilian massacres in Ukraine. Meanwhile, we are witnessing a familiar pro-Kremlin information manipulation campaign targeting upco-ming Poland’s presidential elections in May. These coordinated campaigns reveal the true nature of the Kremlin’s playbook. Russia’s ballistic missile strike on Sumy’s city centre on 13 April that killed at least 35 civilians, including two children, and wounded 117 others during Palm Sunday religious celebrations was not an isolated incident, or a mistake, but part of a deliberate pattern. As the horrific tales out of Sumy began reaching international audiences, Moscow’s propagandists immediately started to spread varied lies: that Russia had targeted a meeting of Ukrainian military commanders, a medal ceremony, or a meeting between Ukrainian and Western forces. They followed the same pattern of lies as they did after striking a restaurant in Kryvyi Rih on 5 April. […]

Insult to injury: Russia’s cultural appropriation of Ukrainian artists
The Kremlin exports ‘Russian culture’ to expand its soft power, but under the veneer of culture it hides imperialistic exceptionalism, absorbing other cultures as Russia’s own, appropriating artists form subjugated peoples and eroding their national identity. Clichés about countries, their cultures, and their histories influence the way we see and judge the world. For that reason, soft power is globally important. Yet, history is more complex than clichés. For example, Russian culture is part of European culture. But it is also the product of an empire composed of multiple influences and talented people of many nationalities, not just Russian. The myth of the Russian soul is still strong in Western countries despite being a blurry and at times specious concept. For example, the 2009 US film Cold Souls(opens in a new tab) purported to describe how large, expressive Russian souls are different from small Western souls. In this telling, a Russian soul is pure, with an infinite capacity to suffer and experience feelings fully. But under the veneer of seeming moral depth and poetic pining, the idea of the ‘Russian soul’ also hides a facet of toxic, imperialistic exceptionalism. […]

L’amiral Alfred Thayer Mahan, le Clausewitz américain
A l’heure où l’hyperpuissance américaine vacille, et sème le chaos dans l’économie mondiale, il peut être utile de revenir à l’inspirateur de l’impérialisme américain et au conseiller du président McKinley. l’amiral Alfred Thayer Mahan. C’est ce que fait l’amiral Girard dans l’article qui suit dont la rédaction est antérieure à la réélection de Donald Trump. Il montre que l’actuelle politique américaine a des racines lointaines et une continuité qui sont souvent méconnues, notamment pour son tropisme asiatique. […]

Belarusian kindergartens and schools as ideological front lines
Belarusian authorities are involving more children and teenagers in their propaganda activities to legitimise state policies and praise Lukashenka. Censorship, repression, and ideological indoctrination are increasingly shaping the information landscape in both Russia and Belarus. In recent months, this trend has accelerated in Belarus when it comes to ideological indoctrination and the promotion of militaristic rhetoric among Belarusian minors. The exploitation of minors for state propaganda purposes has become a recurring phenomenon. […]
