    All of the stories are carefully curated to support the narrative that is being pushed. The hundreds of stories that contradict the narrative don't get aired. It is that simple, Roch. Hence the censorship.

    Scott Ritter interviews are excellent-brutally honest and informed. Below is one for you;

     BBC nor any western media would interview either of the above despite their obvious expertise and knowledge. Curated media is just propaganda-by definition.

Douglas Macgregor is an antisemite conspiracy theorist and Scott Ritter spent four years in prison for Pedophilia.

     The idea that Russia is way ahead of the US in terms of modern weaponry is far from a false premise. Measuring the radar signature of two comparative jets has nothing to do with modern weapons development. It is an idiotic measure and shows how little you have in the way of convincing rebuttal to have chosen this arbitrary comparison. Russian air defences can see the "supposed" stealth jets and shoot them down. SU57 is faster(much), more manoeuvrable and easily as capable, if not more , than the F35. Why didn't you compare speed or manoeuvrability? The US problem, as I have stated many times previously, is that they have developed and produced weaponry for war against relatively defenceless countries. Their weapons development over the last decades has concentrated on weapons of attack rather than defence. Russian, as well as Chinese and Iranian, has concentrated on countering the US methods of aggression. They have done this successfully.
    Now should Russia or Iran for that matter decide that they want to attack and invade the US, they would be ill equipped for the task. They don't want or need to do this though. They just need to keep the thieving western pirates from stealing their resources. For that task, they could not be better prepared. US/NATO could not "Shock and Awe"(their chosen method of war) Russia. Russia's way more modern and effective air defence and stand off missile capability would sink every carrier. Any jet that survived, none would, would have nowhere to land anyway. The F35 avoids airspace defended by Russian air defence. It would be too humiliating and damage the bottom line once it is shown up as the overhyped flying turkey that it is. Wouldn't last 5 minutes in a defended airspace. It's carrier would last even less time.
    Iran demonstrated very publicly that US has no response to stand off missile capability. What if Iran had armed those missiles? So how do you imagine that US/NATO can defeat Russia militarily? They are incapable of invading and bombing Iran. They (US) didn't even retaliate against the Iranian missile attack on their bases. Why? We were promised that should Iran even harm one US soldier that the consequences would be like nothing seen before. They harmed well over 100 and nothing! Why?
    NATO weakness has been exposed to the world. There is no going back. The world is moving on from Western colonialism.

I simply don't trust nor have faith in Russian engineering. They don't have the domestic talent or the  inventiveness. They simply produce second rate imitations of what is conceived elsewhere.

The Su-57 is a blatant rip off of the F-22 raptor. Much like the Buran is a blatant copy of the NASA space shuttle. Their MIG-29 is a blatant copy of the F-15 and the Tupolev Tu-144 is a blatant copy of Concorde.

It is substandard engineering built on corporate espionage.

   This is wishful thinking not serious analysis. Something does not become true just because it is believed. The differences between the F22 and SU57 make a mockery of the claim you make. Russian engineering and innovation has a long history and to claim that they are backwards is to ignore the historical record.
    Russian missile,  air defence, electronic warfare,rocket & space technology, nuclear power innovations are all way ahead of anything in the west. Who did they copy that off? Mocking alleged Russian shortcomings on "engineering, innovation or talent" is ignorant of both historical and current facts and a bit racist.

Some home truths and some propaganda. Which currency will replace the US dollar? The West are capitalist countries: get over it. Will Turkiye leave NATO? I doubt it. https://www.aei.org/op-eds/the-real-reason-turkey-will-never-voluntarily-leave-nato/

    Interesting moves happening geo-economically currency wise. Momentum against the dollar is unstoppable. Taster below;

   The Central Banks of Iran and Russia are studying the adoption of a “stable coin” for foreign trade settlements, replacing the US dollar, the ruble and the rial. The crypto crowd is already up in arms, mulling the pros and cons of a gold-backed central bank digital currency (CBDC) for trade that will be in fact impervious to the weaponized US dollar.

A gold-backed digital currency

The really attractive issue here is that this gold-backed digital currency would be particularly effective in the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) of Astrakhan, in the Caspian Sea.

Astrakhan is the key Russian port participating in the International North South Transportation Corridor (INTSC), with Russia processing cargo travelling across Iran in merchant ships all the way to West Asia, Africa, the Indian Ocean and South Asia.

The success of the INSTC – progressively tied to a gold-backed CBDC – will largely hinge on whether scores of Asian, West Asian and African nations refuse to apply US-dictated sanctions on both Russia and Iran.

As it stands, exports are mostly energy and agricultural products; Iranian companies are the third largest importer of Russian grain. Next will be turbines, polymers, medical equipment, and car parts. Only the Russia-Iran section of the INSTC represents a $25 billion business.

And then there’s the crucial energy angle of INSTC – whose main players are the Russia-Iran-India triad.

India’s purchases of Russian crude have increased year-by-year by a whopping factor of 33. India is the world’s third largest importer of oil; in December, it received 1.2 million barrels from Russia, which for several months now is positioned ahead of Iraq and Saudi Arabia as Delhi’s top supplier.

‘A fairer payment system’

Third: South Africa holds this year’s rotating BRICS presidency. And this year will mark the start of BRICS+ expansion, with candidates ranging from Algeria, Iran and Argentina to Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has just confirmed that the BRICS do want to find a way to bypass the US dollar and thus create “a fairer payment system not skewed toward wealthier countries.”

For years now, Yaroslav Lissovolik, head of the analytical department of Russian Sberbank’s corporate and investment business has been a proponent of closer BRICS integration and the adoption of a BRICS reserve currency.

Lissovolik reminds us that the first proposal “to create a new reserve currency based on a basket of currencies of BRICS countries was formulated by the Valdai Club back in 2018.”

    From the same article linked in previous post; 
 
  Off the record, New York banking sources admit the US dollar would be “wiped out, since it is a valueless fiat currency, should Sergey Glazyev link the new currency to gold. The reason is that the Bretton Woods system no longer has a gold base and has no intrinsic value, like the FTX crypto currency. Sergey’s plan also linking the currency to oil and natural gas seems to be a winner.”
