    Were Intelligence Warnings IGNORED Before the Full-Scale War Began?!

    2026-02-21 | UPDATES #137 | A War Foretold — And Still Ignored. Four years ago, Europe woke up to missile trails over Kyiv and the lie many had been telling themselves: “Putin won’t do it.” That’s not just the public, but also experts, historians, politicians and diplomats. Today, The Guardian publishes a deeply sourced reconstruction of the months before 24 February 2022 — how the CIA and MI6 pieced together the invasion plan, why much of Europe didn’t buy it, and why Kyiv didn’t want to hear it. (The Guardian) The piece was authored by journalist Shaun Walker. In November 2021, CIA Director William Burns tries to see Putin in person — but gets a phone call instead. Burns tells Putin the US believes Russia is preparing to invade Ukraine; Putin shrugs it off and pivots to his own grievances. Burns comes away convinced war is coming.

    Blood Sports - International Bodies Become Lapdogs of Tyrants and Criminals

    Silicon Bites Ep290 | 2026-02-21 | Milan is hosting a festival of “unity” — while Ukraine is hosting funerals. This week, international sport’s governing class has managed a truly grotesque trick that discredits the sporting events their preside over: punishing remembrance of the victim, while rehabilitating symbols of the aggressor. They have sought to strip dignity from the nation defending itself and handed a propaganda triumph to the invading state. In the process they have turned what ought to be a symbol for peace and unity, into a blood sport, with grotesque optics. IOC hypocrisy, Paralympic flag washing, and FIFA’s peace-prize theatre — plus why Ukraine and Europe say the message is simple: this isn’t neutrality… it’s complicity in aggression and illegality. Sports is not neutral, because the participation of an aggressor nation, with an imperial mindset, in any activity, be it sport, culture, literature or film is never neutral, but an extension of their aggression. This is especially true of Russia.

    Will Putin LOSE the Russian Empire? Brussels Now Seems to Think So!

    Silicon Bites Ep289 | 2026-02-20 | Brussels drops a “terms of defeat” on Moscow. Extensive, comprehensive and bold. This is the first glimmer of strength and quite uncharacteristically clear. Why have these demands dropped now, and why does Brussels think they have a chance of being obeyed? Could it be that they sense the defeat and collapse of Russia is on the horizon? This is intriguing. Alright — pause the farce of a so-called peace negotiation in Geneva for a second, because Brussels has just slid a document across the table that basically says: “No, actually—Russia doesn’t get to keep its overseas garrisons and vassals as a prize for invading its neighbour.”Multiple outlets — drawing on reporting from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty — say EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has circulated an internal EU “discussion paper” setting out what Europe thinks Russia should be forced to concede in any settlement. Not Ukraine. Russia.

    Is Graham Out of His Mind? Imperial U.S. is an Ally no More!

    Silicon Bites Ep288 | 2026-02-18 | All the evidence points to the U.S. no longer being an ally of Europe. But it’s not a neutral or indifferent stance. It’s actively malicious, meddling, malignant and intentionally destabilising. The evidence is all around, and yet Rubio still got a standing ovation at the MSC.
