In an interview with the independent US media portal grayzone.com, the retired Swiss intelligence officer, NATO advisor and author Jacques Baud dealt with the Ukraine war and in particular sharply criticized Western media reporting.
Baud, whose most recent book “Operation Z” is devoted to the Ukraine conflict, pointed out that the Western media consistently only reported the Ukrainian version of events, which is often embellished or simply wrong.
The former Swiss military-intelligence officer explained: “All the information we have about Ukraine, I can say all, 100 percent of the information that appears in the mainstream media comes from Ukrainian propaganda. I mean the numbers, the number of injuries, the number of fatalities, the number of incidents, everything.”
Baud essentially identified three subject areas in which Western reporting is way off the mark because it takes a one-sided pro-Ukrainian position.
Firstly, the West is talking (or writing) about the use of Russian nuclear weapons – even though Putin has never threatened to use nuclear weapons. The Kremlin boss only threatened to use “all the weapons systems at our disposal” if “the territorial integrity of our country is threatened”. According to Baud, these primarily include hypersonic missiles and missiles with multiple warheads, but not nuclear warheads.
Incidentally, a “no first use” policy applies in Russia when it comes to the use of nuclear weapons – in complete contrast to the US. US President Biden moved away from such a “no first strike” policy this year. So it is in fact Washington which is keeping a nuclear strike open.
Even the closest US ally, Great Britain, has repeatedly confirmed a nuclear first strike. The now former Prime Minister Liz Truss expressly underlined this in the run-up to her assumption of office: “I am ready to do it.”
Secondly, contrary to actual developments, Russia is not sabotaging possible peace negotiations or a negotiated solution. The fact is that since the outbreak of the war the US and Great Britain have succeeded several times in thwarting a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia.
As early as March, shortly after the start of the war, Putin’s words that Ukraine and Russia were “very, very close to a peace agreement” fell on deaf ears in the western mainstream media. At the time, Ukraine was being pressured by the United States and the West to refuse a compromise with Russia. In this context, Baud pointed out that there have been three attempts to bring about peace between Russia and Ukraine – all of which have been nipped in the bud by the West.
This war will go down in history as another so called ‘Real’ event.
When some of us know all just fake manipulated narratives.
All History is lie and half truth and we are seeing it now roll out as it has for thousands of years.
Justice will not prevail. Will Joe Biden/Zelensky ever see Justice, lol! I don’t think so.
And if some justice is done it is usually the lower expendable minions(both Joe/Zelensky are lower political minions) that see justice while the real culprits slip behind the door.
This just another page in their books.
Biden, Bojo and Macron etc plus the CIA have been worse than Zelensky — he’s just a crooked arms dealer and money launderer, his propaganda has been orchestrated by the aforementioned.
I remember watching this war starting back in 2014. During that period there was a lot of talk about pipelines being run from the Golan Heights after an oil and gas discovery accompanied by Israel seizing the region from the Palestinians. the pipelines were to run up through Syria, Turkey, across the Black Sea and through Ukraine and Poland to Germany. All to compete with NordStream at supplying Europe with oil and gas. The company involved was Genie Energy Oil and Gas. Now think about Russia taking control of Crimea and controlling the black sea, supporting Syria and now Eastern Ukraine. I think this is the real reason for what has been happening since 2014, this is clearly an energy war.
You just wait for Israel to save the day for unsuspecting Europe who will then be energy dependant on Israel.
That is when you will see the Palestinians wiped out and no one in Europe or the West will say a peep about it.
