North Korea’s alliance with Russia proves Ukraine is not about religion Original
Responding to the deployment of North Korea soldiers to Russia, NATO’s secretary-general signaled that the action represented “a significant escalation” in its “ongoing involvement in Russia’s illegal war”; “yet another breach of UN Security Council resolutions”; and “a dangerous expansion of Russia’s war.” More than this, however, Vladimir Putin now is resorting to foot soldiers from a notoriously anti-religious regime for a fight that he has claimed is about saving Russian civilization and...
Justifying Aggression: Russia’s 2020 Constitutional Amendments and the Invasion of Ukraine
By: Robert C. Blitt Beyond the alluring promise of an enhanced social safety net for Russian citizens, President Vladimir Putin’s constitutional amendments of 2020 betrayed a distinct preoccupation with fortifying Russia’s international standing and crafting a new national identity.

Blitt of University of Tennessee College of Law in Knoxville, Tennessee, discusses Secretary of State Pompeo’s Commission on Unalienable Rights Report as undermining human rights... The draft report by Secretary of State Pompeo’s Commission on Unalienable Rights has the Kremlin dancing a collective Barynya of glee.
