What is now happening in Ukraine has serious geopolitical implications. It could lead us into a World War III scenario.

It is important that a peace process be initiated with a view to preventing escalation. 

Global Research condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

A Bilateral Peace Agreement is required.

On March 8, after having briefly published it online (see link), the Manifesto's editorial staff made the column The Art of War disappear overnight also from the paper edition, because I had refused to comply with the Ministry of Truth's directive and had asked for a debate on the Ukrainian crisis.

Thus ends my long collaboration with this newspaper, on which for over ten years I published the column.  

A warm greeting to the readers, whom I will continue to inform through other channels.

The strategic plan of the United States against Russia was elaborated three years ago by the Rand Corporation (the manifesto, Rand Corp: how to bring down Russia, May 21, 2019). The Rand Corporation, headquartered in Washington, DC, is "a global research organization developing solutions to policy challenges": it has an army of 1,800 researchers and other specialists recruited from 50 countries, speaking 75 languages, spread across offices and other locations in North America, Europe, Australia, and the Persian Gulf. Rand's U.S. personnel live and work in more than 25 countries.
