Blinken, You’re Insane
The first major destruction of Moscow dates back to the Mongol invasion of Russia. In 1238, the Mongols encircled Moscow, cutting it off from the outside world for five days. When they finally broke through, they set the city ablaze and slaughtered a large portion of its population.
Over a century later, in 1382, the Mongol Khan invaded again, swiftly crossing the flat plains leading to Moscow. The Russians, unprepared for such a rapid advance, were thrown into disarray. Those who remained in the city faced a horrific massacre.
The destruction was immense. The Mongols looted everything they could, burned the city, and left its streets filled with corpses—a gruesome scene reminiscent of a nightmare.
Two centuries later, in 1571, Russia was again embroiled in war. With its forces divided across several fronts, its enemies seized the opportunity, reaching Moscow with relative ease.

History would repeat itself with Napoleon and later Adolf Hitler, yet here we are in 2024, and Moscow still stands under Russian rule.

The United Nations climate conference in Belém, Brazil, is underway — and, in true UN fashion, it took all of ten minutes for the hypocrisy to hit us in the face.
For the first time in nine years, Rebel News was officially accredited to enter the conference grounds. We got the approval emails. We got our work visas. We flew half way around the world. We went to pick up our badges. Then the bureaucrats did what UN bureaucrats always do when a climate heretic gets too close: they found a problem.
Suddenly, our accreditation “didn’t allow” us inside the main venue — the pavilions, media rooms, and meeting halls packed with activists, diplomats, and 55,000 carbon-burning delegates who flew halfway around the world to lecture ordinary people about their energy use.
But somehow, we were ...
