Conflict

  • The Russian Presidency is a minefield

    The Russian state is a large, complex modern drama that blends politics and deep heritage. However, its mixed blessing even for the Russian people is a curse for the rest of us. It doesn’t lay straight lines for diplomacy as much as it bends and breaks the rules by it.

    The Ukraine-Russia war is a part of the takeover of the modern Russian mindset by strong Presidents. They love an assertive platform in public. They sabre rattle at their neighbours – who are also now all perceived as enemies.

  • Trump didn’t have to meet Putin

    The Putin-Trump summit isn’t the only way to do it. If the UN hadn’t of berated Israel so much, it might have taken a chance to intervene. It might still have to.

    The problem in international affairs is finding time. There isn’t scope to regret and forget so quickly. The short-term lives on for longer than people think.

    The Israel-Gaza conflict is clearly taking up time – and leading to precious few results. The pressing matter of peace in Europe is taking up American hours.

    It’s the wrong way to do it. The right path is to let peace come by fair means set out for the benefit of the international community. It has to rest on all of us.

  • A Journalist dying in Gaza bares reality

    The killing of a Journalist in Gaza has hit the headlines around the world. It’s meant to highlight the deaths of professionals working in the territory.

    It also illustrates the dangers involved in Journalism.

    Anas Al-Sharif was known to have travelled extensively. He did it to better his understanding of the world. However, he confided once that Palestine made him feel too much.

    A post by Al-Sharif – his last on X.

    If he didn’t have a strong work ethic, he said it might undermine his integrity.

    His worry is shared by many in Journalism who have to see extremes. The needs of a State often creates adverse situations where people suffer.

    The striving to tell a story not being told means some have to be in the places where it matters.

  • Pres. Zelenskyy updates Russian sanctions

    Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has revealed a tranche of new sanctions on Russia. The punitive measures are designed to cripple Russia’s war machine, and force Putin to end his war.

    The targets are close to the Russian President, undermining his ability to present a strong image. It also includes Russian activists in media circles, who continue to justify the country’s illegal war.

  • Call for information: “British Army” mercenaries

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, a “Trio” of mercenaries with links to the “British Army” but also units of their own have been sighted in Reading.

    Any information relating to these individuals must be passed to a relevant public body. It will be used to build an accurate case, if one exists.

  • Our Armed Services are here to protect us

    Our Armed Services are our guide in times of need, and national emergency. They have a watch and a wherewithal over who we are and what we are in a global context.

    If we need to know something that’s operational in nature they are guaranteed to know about it all already. We just need to use its wisdom to make ourselves safer.

    The way it’s run is crucial to this overall task, because it means a continuation – or the end – of our way of life. It’s more clear in serious situations, like a war, and less clear if still true during peacetime.

    The type of Service personnel we produce out of schools, colleges, and training academies is vital to the overall strength of this enterprise. Their character is always their true quality in this type of work.

  • Russia is losing the war

    The self-belief of autocratic states is now legendary. Their actual skills, when put to the test, show how far they fall short. An appeal to its own history shows there is something lacking for the Russian state.

    Their Victory Day parade is an exhibition of this sort of madness. The appeal is only to a pride inside, and not to reality. The losses of Russia on the battlefield is indicative of its lack of connection to reality.

    The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine tells us that Russia has suffered huge losses. It’s nearing one million lives lost, over 100,000 pieces of equipment, and many larger features of warfare like warships.

    A bit of clothing isn’t going to soften the edge of such defeats. If the Russian state is going to win it needs to do more than march in the peace, and serenity, of Red Square. The future is won by grasping it.

  • World exclusive: Gaza Mercenary-Commander

    In a world exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, it can be revealed a Mercenary-Commander with “Effective Control” over the territory of Gaza has been located. He’s believed to be French-born, although his exact biographical details cannot be shared here. This is due to ongoing investigation.

    The nature of the work in Gaza involves its status as a quasi-military camp. This involves the participation of many different types of sources of military help. Its activity is therefore in the line of mercenary defence, rather than civilian or even humanitarian. It’s opposed to legitimate democratic control.

    Much of the planning took place in London.This involved participation of high level military figures in the UK. Due to the involvement of these people, such details of the meetings cannot be related. It means much of the fighting – and infighting – in Gaza is due to power plays with different groups.

  • An unholy intifada

    The October 7 attacks against Israel last year, that prompted an invasion by Israel into Gaza, were unprovoked. However, set against a narrative of the area that suggests attempts to fight off oppression by Palestinians, and it’s obvious to activists what it means.

    However, it’s not so clear. The long story of Arab rebellion against democracy, America, and everything liberal about the West is one fraught with politically toxic issues. It’s not easy just talking about it, and it’s easier if there are people with interests present.

    I’ve spoken to radicals who are adept at explaining their position, and I’ve tried to engage with activists who refuse to explain theirs. It’s not impossible to get to the latter, because their ideas are written in their textbooks, and are seen in what they do.

    The difficulty in diplomacy is found, in parts, by sticking to the facts and sticking to your guns. It’s not acceptable to forget, or to compromise, because both these are positions necessary to the future. If the two sides don’t exist, there’s a breakdown in relations.

    There is movement if separate issues arise that both parties can deliberate over, and slowly, progress toward peace is made. It’s not as quick as a news cycle, or as straightforward as a popular book. It’s the stuff of harmony, and the end of division, because it works.

    The existence of a terror group poses a problem, because its aims are divisive and its methods are unwieldy. They aren’t the point, either, but meanwhile they cause enormous harm, and offence. They’re not a path to peace anymore than a criminal gang, or a warlord.

  • Exposed: Fugitive political strategist

    In a groundbreaking operation a suspect has been spotted in central London following an international sting effort.

    He is known as a political strategist of sorts who also holds unofficial positions of influence in key areas usually designated only to important persons in the so-called military industrial complex.

    However, in particular places he’s wielded significant manipulative influence in terms of advice given and sought.

    He remained at large until today when a positive ID was enabled to be achieved outside the gates of 10 Downing Street in central London.
