Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

Thank you to @hermangrech.bsky.social & the Times of Malta for re-publishing my talk on the threats to freedom of the press & for Malta's leadership in understanding where this leads. The brutal murder of the brilliant investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia is a warning to the world.
