Why Russians haven’t risen up to stop the Ukraine war

Top image credit: People walking on Red square in Moscow in winter. (Oleg Elkov/Shutterstock)  Inspired in part by state propaganda, many in Russia have developed an anti-Western identity By Anna Matveeva After its emergence from the Soviet collapse, the new Russia grappled with the complex issue of developing a national identity that could embrace the radical contradictions of Russia’s past and foster integration with the West while maintaining Russian distinctiveness. The Ukraine War has significantly changed public attitudes toward this question, and led to a consolidation of most of the Russian population behind a set of national ideas. This has contributed to the resilience … Continue reading Why Russians haven’t risen up to stop the Ukraine war

Fernando Kaskais

The Epstein Files Keep Getting Worse and Nobody in Power Wants to Talk About It 🐺The Wise Wolf, Dec 26, 2025 I ran a simple poll my last article on the botched Epstein file redactions, asking one question: do you believe Washington is full of pedophiles? Nearly 300 of you responded, and an absolutely staggering 96% said yes. Let that sink in. An overwhelming majority of our readers believe that the people running this country, the people making laws, the people sending our kids to war, the people taxing our paychecks and lecturing us about morality on cable news, are … Continue reading 96% OF YOU AGREE, WASHINGTON IS FULL OF PEDOPHILES

Genética

Fernando Kaskais

FERNANDO KASKAIS O mundo moderno rodeia-nos de tantas coisas complicadas, fabricadas e artificiais, que qualquer coisa mais “natural” e simples me fascina. O princípio, a genética, se quisermos, da estrutura é a mesma, o cromossoma X, só que um está associado a um exemplo notável de engenharia do século XIX, o outro a um triste banco esquecido nas margens do Rio Douro, como um pobre filho abandonado que contempla a mãe, altiva e distante. https://kaskaisphotos.wordpress.com/2025/12/27/genetica/ F.

The Real War of the Century: Artificial Intelligence

Fernando Kaskais

By Joaquim Couto   There was a time when debates about determinism and free will belonged to philosophy departments and late-night dorm room conversations. They were enjoyable precisely because they seemed harmless. Whatever the answer, life went on. Courts judged, doctors decided, teachers taught, and politicians were still—at least nominally—held responsible for their actions. That era is over. Artificial intelligence has transformed what once appeared to be an abstract philosophical question into a concrete issue of governance, power, and accountability. Determinism is no longer merely a theory about how the universe works. It is becoming an operating principle for modern institutions. And … Continue reading The Real War of the Century: Artificial Intelligence

Trump’s big, bad battleship will fail

Fernando Kaskais

At best, the Navy will receive three troublesome ships that will cost more than $10 billion each before then entire scheme is abandoned By Dan Grazier President Trump announced on December 22 that the Navy would build a new Trump-class of “battleships.” The new ships will dwarf existing surface combatant ships. The first of these planned ships, the expected USS Defiant, would be more than three times the size of an existing Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. Predictably, a major selling point for the new ships is that they will be packed full of all the latest technology. These massive new battleships will be armed … Continue reading Trump’s big, bad battleship will fail

The Clock Is Ticking: Invest in the Planet, Not the Pentagon

Fernando Kaskais

Hurricane-flooded homes in Florida (Shutterstock) At the 10 year anniversary of the Paris Agreement, U.S. climate commitments are being swallowed up by military spending. By Alliyah Lusuegro Ten years ago as of December 2025, nearly every country in the world made a promise. By signing the Paris Agreement, governments committed to limit global temperature rises to no more than 2°C — and ideally 1.5°C — to avoid the most devastating impacts of a warming planet. Recognizing their historic responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions, the Paris Agreement called on wealthier countries like the United States to contribute funding to help poorer countries adapt. … Continue reading The Clock Is Ticking: Invest in the Planet, Not the Pentagon

At the Movies, But for How Long?

Fernando Kaskais

By Daniel Nuccio   Earlier this month, after roughly a 20-year wait, audiences finally had the opportunity to see Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.  Initially released in 2003 and 2004, Kill Bill: Volumes 1 and 2 comprised Tarantino’s then long-awaited fourth film, originally envisioned by the auteur as a single work but later split by producer Harvey Weinstein to avoid either releasing a movie with an over four-hour run-time that might deter the casual moviegoer or a greatly pared version that would severely compromise Tarantino’s vision. Hence, Volume 1 introduced viewers to “The Bride,” a young, female, assassin, beaten, gunned down, and left for dead on the day … Continue reading At the Movies, But for How Long?
