Is Putin Responsible for Israel’s April 1 Attack on Damascus, Syria, that Killed 7 officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard? Paul Craig Roberts As I often emphasize, Putin’s determination to avoid war has the result of widening war as the consequence has been more and more dangerous provocations. Iran said Israel will be punished for the attack, causing President Biden…

Putin Continues to Conduct His War in a Reactive Way Paul Craig Roberts Russian strikes are reactions to Kiev’s initiatives. They are not part of a proactive offensive strategy. Putin says so himself. Putin told Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko that Ukraine’s attacks on Russian energy facilities forced him to retaliate. The Russian Defense Ministry described the attacks as retaliatory. Putin…

Putin Has Allowed the Ukraine Conflict to Spiral Out of Control Paul Craig Roberts As I have consistently warned, it is only a matter of time before Putin’s never-ending war spirals out of control.

How Realistic Is Putin? Paul Craig Roberts As readers know, I am concerned that Putin’s tolerance of a too-long-continuing-Ukraine-conflict is encouraging the conflict to spin-out-of-control.  I have written about this risk neglected by the Kremlin many times.  On February 27 I was interviewed by Finian Cunningham about this risk.  If the interview is posted online, I will link to it…

Putin’s Inability to Act Is Spinning the Ukraine Conflict Out of Control  Paul Craig Roberts Putin’s Unwillingness to Use Force to Bring  the Ukraine Conflict to an End has Greatly Widened the War which is approaching a dangerous stage.  NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said that the American F-16 aircraft that NATO countries are about to provide Ukraine can be…

The Putin Interview Paul Craig Roberts Although his questions were on the sophomoric side, Tucker Carlson did a good thing by giving us a two hour view of how Putin thinks.  The neoconservative warmongers and the shills for the armament industries are angry, because Putin did not present as they have portrayed him–an evil aggressor out to conquer Europe.

WILL WAR RESULT FROM THE EVER HESITANT PUTIN?
