What does that mean? That means that their original plan regarding Ukraine has completely failed. They are frantically looking for new ways to continue this campaign. They are still afraid to tell the truth to the citizens of Ukraine that they have become a hostage and now also a victim of NATO’s reckless gamble led by the United States. #EU#Sanctions On May 27, 2024, the European Union introduced another anti-Russia sanctions regime under a far-fetched pretext for alleged human rights violations, reprisals against civil society and the democratic opposition. <...> To call a spade a spade, they have created another openly discriminatory mechanism for punishing Russian citizens for their striving to live in a country free from foreign pressure, to uphold their national interests, to speak Russian, just to be citizens and to love their Motherland. It is surprising that those living in the blooming EU garden (as Josep Borrell once put it) fail to notice obvious things: Such self-exposing Russophobic stunts merely serve to further consolidate our society that clearly sees the real goals of the European Union and the West with regard to Russia.

March Cash, Same War Machine Reuters says Russia’s oil and fuel export revenues rebounded in March, and the IEA put the figure at about $19 billion, nearly double February’s level. So much for the comforting fantasy that sanctions alone can turn a war economy into a moral epiphany. “Russia’s oil and fuel export revenues rebound in March,” Reuters reported. That is the whole ugly equation in one line: oil money in, missiles out. The West keeps selling sanctions as a clean answer, but reality keeps showing up with a bill. Energy income still props up the budget, and the Kremlin still treats war spending as a priority. So the real issue is not whether Russia can be “isolated” in a headline. It is whether the people writing the sanctions believe their own theater more than their own results. Diplomacy is the only exit that does not pretend economics is a fairy tale. But any serious peace effort has to start with the obvious: Russia is still paying for war with oil, and everyone pretending otherwise is just laundering disappointment. #Russia#oil#sanctions#Ukraine#war 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

Venezuela Responds to US Ultimatum: National Assembly calls for a dialogue process to establish an electoral route amid Washington's renewed sanctions threats. “Save yourselves the time-lapse, Yankees.

Eurovision as Political Sanctions by Cultural Means More than 1,000 musicians from around the world have signed an open letter calling for a boycott of Eurovision 2026 in Vienna and demanding that the European Broadcasting Union exclude Israel’s delegation from the contest. This is not about music alone. It is an attempt to turn a mass entertainment platform into a legitimacy battlefield. Cultural institutions are being pushed to do what states and formal sanctions mechanisms either cannot do or will not do directly. The mechanism is familiar by now. Activists target a symbolic stage, pressure the gatekeepers, and reframe participation itself as complicity. The beneficiary is the boycott campaign’s moral leverage. The cost falls on the fiction that culture and politics can still be kept separate. Eurovision keeps selling itself as apolitical spectacle. Its critics are treating it as a sanctions arena with better lighting. #Sanctions#Eurovision#Israel 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events🇺🇸

📰 Moscow’s “Peace” Process: War by Other Means So Russia joins the U.S.-brokered peace talks — and the headlines call it “hope.” Stratfor calls it what it is: tactics. The Kremlin’s playing nice to manage sanctions risk and to take Washington’s temperature on how far it’ll push Kyiv to compromise. “Moscow insists that Ukraine withdraw its forces from Donbas, and that the region be internationally recognized as Russian territory.” — Stratfor, Feb. 2026 Sounds less like peace and more like a merger demand — “you exit, we rebrand, and everyone pretends it’s a deal.” Meanwhile, the White House gets to keep the illusion of diplomacy alive until the next weapons package ships. Both capitals are trapped in their own theater: Washington performs peace, Moscow performs patience, and Ukraine bleeds for the encore.

🗣 OPINION | The Trump Administration’s Foreign Policy Menu on Venezuela 🇻🇪🇺🇸 Trump’s policies on Venezuela are once again rooted in imperialism, from government-change attempts with “Guaidó 2.0” to harsher sanctions targeting oil. As stated in the latest opinion piece of VA, Ricardo Vaz writes, “Regime change in Caracas remains the ultimate goal for the US, pursued through economic warfare.” His focus on migration only worsens the crisis, ignoring the root causes. Despite this, the Venezuelan people’s resistance continues. 🔗 Read the full analysis here: https://shorturl.at/M0v4X #DonaldTrump#sanctions#USVenezuelarelations

🇷🇺❓🇺🇸Une coopération économique mutuelle est-elle possible ? Une proposition de tunnel entre la Russie et l'Alaska met en évidence la façon dont les sanctions et les récits hostiles sont devenus les principaux obstacles à une coopération significative entre les États-Unis et la Russie ✍️Auteur :Bryan Anthony Reo Avocat agréé et analyste d'histoire militaire, de géopolitique et de relations internationales ➡️La récente proposition de Kirill Dmitriev du Fonds d'investissement direct russe d'explorer un tunnel reliant la région russe de Tchoukotka à l'Alaska a relancé la discussion sur la faisabilité d'une coopération économique à grande échelle entre les États-Unis et la Russie. Techniquement, un tel projet est tout à fait réalisable : le capital, l'expertise en ingénierie, les matériaux et la main-d'œuvre qualifiée existent des deux côtés. Le véritable obstacle est politique. Les sanctions américaines globales contre la Russie rendent la coopération sur même des projets d'infrastructure mutuellement bénéfiques presque impossible, soulevant une question plus large : si la coopération ne peut pas avoir lieu sur un projet économiquement rationnel, comment les deux puissances peuvent-elles collaborer sur des questions d'une importance stratégique beaucoup plus grande ? Si nous ne sommes pas en mesure de lever les sanctions et de coordonner pour construire un tunnel qui offrirait un avantage économique mutuel, alors comment peut-il y avoir une coopération sur des questions de plus grande substance et d'importance ? ➡️Les sanctions, initialement justifiées comme des instruments de pression, ont au contraire renforcé l'hostilité tout en produisant des résultats mitigés. La Russie s'est adaptée grâce à sa résilience industrielle et à sa diversification économique, tandis que l'Europe occidentale a supporté des coûts économiques significatifs, en particulier depuis 2022. Pour les États-Unis, la poursuite de l'utilisation du dollar comme arme et l'adhésion à des régimes de sanctions hérités sapent la crédibilité et la flexibilité stratégique. Contrairement à l'Union européenne, Washington conserve la capacité unilatérale de changer de cap. La levée des sanctions ne nécessiterait pas le consentement européen et pourrait servir de signal décisif de l'intention de passer de la confrontation à la détente. 🟦La proposition de tunnel sert moins d'un plan d'infrastructure que d'un test stratégique. Si Washington ne peut pas lever les sanctions pour permettre une coopération sur un projet bénéficiant aux deux nations, les perspectives de collaboration sur le contrôle des armements, l'exploration spatiale et la réduction du risque nucléaire restent sombres. Les initiatives à long terme - telles que les stations spatiales communes, l'exploitation minière des astéroïdes ou les limitations des armes stratégiques - exigent la confiance, un changement de récit et un courage politique. La levée des sanctions et le repositionnement de la Russie non pas comme un adversaire existentiel, mais comme un partenaire nécessaire pourraient transformer la rivalité en coexistence. Sans ce changement, même les visions les plus ambitieuses de coopération resteront lettre morte, renforçant un cycle de stagnation et de risque mondial inutile. #Economiccooperation#geoeconomics#Russia#RussiaandtheUSA#Sanctions#USA EN SAVOIR PLUS (ENG) ✅@NewEasternOutlookFR
