Russia, Ukraine and war propaganda, By Dele Cole
ARE we slowly moving to World War III? Can Russia allow NATO to gulp Ukraine? Is this an existential threat to Russia? Can Russia exist with NATO countries surrounding it and a NATO member in its gut? Real politics will suggest that, having now exposed Russian weakness, the West has no alternative but to push […]
Homosexuality and Western media
THE last few years has been seen as a revolution in human sexual behaviour. Some good, others not so good. We have now reached the level where English words have changed their meaning.
