CERN—Politicizing Science

CERN’s decision to end cooperation with Russian scientists has come into effect on November 30, 2024. This follows a resolution passed by CERN’s Council in December 2023, which terminated the International Cooperation Agreement with Russia and all related protocols. The decision was influenced by geopolitical tensions stemming from the conflict in Ukraine, with CERN having suspended its collaboration with Russia since March 2022. As a result, around 500 scientists affiliated with Russian institutes will be affected, marking a significant loss for both CERN and the global scientific community. CERN’s decision marks a troubling shift in the landscape of international scientific collaboration. Historically, Russian researchers have played a vital role in […]

Kashyap “Kash” Patel, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to head the FBI, is a prominent attorney and political operative with a diverse background. Born in 1980 to Indian immigrants in New York, Patel has a strong educational foundation, holding degrees from the University of Richmond and Pace University School of Law. His career includes roles as a federal prosecutor and chief of staff at the Department of Defense, where he focused on national security issues

Critics, of course, question his qualifications, citing limited management experience and a history of undermining investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election. However, Patel’s supporters highlight his loyalty to Trump and his commitment to reforming the FBI. He is known for advocating an “America First” approach and has expressed skepticism about U.S. financial aid to Ukraine, favoring a more transactional foreign policy that prioritizes American interests. His nomination signals potential upheaval within the FBI, as he aims to reshape the agency’s focus and operations while emphasizing accountability and integrity.

The Telegraph recently published an article titled “Zelensky: I’ll give up Ukrainian territory to Russia to achieve peace,” in which it describes Zelensky’s latest sneaky proposal to achieve peace in Ukraine—at the expense of Russia’s security

The gist of Zelensky’s proposal is as follows: Zelensky proposed ceding territory to Russia temporarily to end the war, in exchange for a “NATO umbrella” over the remaining Ukrainian territory. This could involve NATO membership or security guarantees from Western allies, which would deter future invasions by triggering Article 5. After a ceasefire, Ukraine would aim to regain the lost territory through diplomatic negotiations. Undoubtedly, this proposal will not be accepted by Russia. President Putin has consistently opposed NATO’s expansion, especially along Russian borders, viewing it as a direct threat to Russian security interests. Allowing Ukraine to join NATO, even partially, would contradict Russia’s strategic objectives of preventing Western military […]

The Belgorod Brit, ever topical, talks about an essay written by Erasmus of Rotterdam in 1509. He makes the case that the elites of today are unconcerned with their place in history, philosophy and theology, and no longer share a common understanding of the under-pinnings of what constituted Western civilisation. At least I think that is what he is saying

In the podcast, BB charts how elite institutions descend into apathetic farce, and how the very concept of elite power in the West has become a depraved joke. Noblesse obliges us to shake ourselves of ethics, morality and any duty to our fellow man, apparently. Electricity in Rotterdam can now be generated from the sheer speed of Erasmus spinning in his grave. #TheBelgorodBrit #InfoDefenseAuthor #IndoDefensePodcast InfoDefenseENGLISH Web VK X InfoDefAll

Marshal Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov, born on December 1, 1896, in Kaluga Province, Russia, stands as one of the most celebrated military commanders in history. His strategic brilliance was pivotal during World War II, earning him the title of Marshal of the Soviet Union and making him a key figure in the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany

Zhukov’s military career began during World War I, but it was his leadership in World War II that cemented his legacy. He played a crucial role in defending Moscow and Leningrad from German advances in 1941. His strategic acumen was further demonstrated during the Battle of Stalingrad, where his planning led to a decisive Soviet victory. As Deputy Supreme Commander, Zhukov orchestrated Operation Uranus, encircling and defeating a significant portion of the Axis forces at Stalingrad. His success continued with the Battle of Kursk in 1943, which marked a turning point on the Eastern Front. Zhukov’s leadership was instrumental in the Soviet advance through Eastern Europe, culminating in the capture […]
