The president of Kazakhstan announces the coup "thwarted", as over two thousand Russia troops across the border. There are dots being connected about the people behind this coup that show a clear indication of a Western funded "colour revolution" attempt, complete with MI6 involvement & corruption oligarchs. A "colorful cast of characters".
Thankfully, it looks like cooler heads have prevailed in terms of putting a "No-Fly Zone" over Ukraine by NATO and/or US forces. This insane idea was floated by the same talking heads that floated it during the Syrian War.
President Zelensky "urged" the US to do so, but it seems like he has been rejected.
The talks in Belarus have lead to additional talks this week at the Poland/Belarus border. Hopefully more agreement can be found there, as Russia continues to push forward in Ukraine.

On Friday, President Biden reasserted the American public that US soldiers will not be fighting Russia in Ukraine. When asked about Russia's use of chemical weapons in Ukraine (a question that forces Biden to "red line" his answer), Biden warns of a "severe price" to the Russians, whatever that means.
This speech did not spot the US government from deciding to send $14 billion dollars in aid to Ukraine. This includes:
though $3 billion will go directly to US forces to cover costs of repositioning troops to NATO’s “eastern flank.” At least $7.5 billion will actually go to Kiev’s military, however, with another $3.5 billion devoted to weapons and $4 billion for humanitarian efforts amid a Russian invasion launched in late February.
Talks between Russia and Ukraine haven't made much progress, but headlines are still coming out saying "progress" has been made. On Monday, the news was that we could have a deal in "a few days", however, below the headline both parties say they are not moving on their demands.
The biggest story of this week looks to be a back and forth between the US and China, over US "reports" that China is ready to provide Russia military assistance. This line was plastered on the Sunday mainstream news, the source being "unnamed US officials". Talks between House National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan and China's top foreign policy official Yang Jiechi met in Rome on Monday.
Since then, China seems to be playing up the charges a bit. A lot of bluster from all sides, as the war continues to slide into a proxy-insurgency war much like Syria.

As the world continues to burn, I wanted to bring some positive vibes to the antiwar community. A ton of great podcast episodes have come out recently. The types of audiences these episodes are reaching are the ones who booed us Ron Paul types back in "the day".

As thousands met in D.C. to protest vaccine mandates, the anti-Covid internet is drooling over the latest outburst from regime-liberal-turned-anti-woke-celebrity Bari Weiss. Weiss on the Bill Maher show described what it's like to be a compliant little snake who's now seeing the world turn against them. I remark on the continued elevating of Weiss from Conservative Inc. types, and outline her (recent) history of terrible takes and disgusting views.

The US-backed Ukrainian government put on a military parade over the weekend, vowing to "fight off Russia". I felt it was a good time to share some great journalism on the recent history of Ukraine and how we got to this point.
Also, the central government of Ethiopia is having victories, and the US Senate votes against bill to stop arms deal to Saudi Arabia.

It didn't take much more than a quick search of Moon of Alabama (a great source for all things anti-imperialist) for me to find a connection between the uprising in Kazakhstan and a Pentagon-funded Washington think-tank. The RAND corporation put out a piece in 2019 that clearly lays out the last half-decade of US moves against Russia in it's backyard.
