Open Letter to the President of the United States of America
Dear Mr. Trump,
I wrote an open letter to Mr. Putin two years ago, and now, I am writing to you. Previously, there was no point in addressing the United States because no one would ever listen.

Russian ‘presnukha’: A rustic rye galette with cottage cheese
This is so simple to make, and with cream and cottage cheese instead of cream cheese. Much more economical and I guess much healthier.
Rural life has always been different from city living; not only in everyday life, but also in culinary traditions. I realized this when I heard my friend talking about her childhood in… Continue reading -

Stories, Porkies or Creating Conditions on the Ground
Trump was expecting Macron (France) and Starmer (UK) today. I have no idea what happened to Starmer but RT Telegram (much better than RT site for short snippets) and Ria Novosti in English followed the discussion with Macron.
What Trump says, is very different from what Russia says. We’ve been following Russia quite closely, and I’ll… Continue reading

Michael Hudson, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen
The Trump admin isn’t “reindustrializing” America, it is reorganizing the monopolistic pursuit of global hegemony.
