In this intense exchange, investigative journalist Elizabeth Lane challenges the conventional narrative surrounding Vladimir Putin, global elites, and the hidden forces shaping geopolitical power.

• youtube.com/@ElizabethLaneShow/videos

The discussion dives into a controversial question:

Is the world really driven by national leaders… or by elite networks operating behind the scenes?

Lane breaks down how Western elites, intelligence circles, and political power brokers may influence global conflicts — including how Russia’s next move could reshape the balance of power.

The debate becomes heated as the conversation explores shadow governance, elite influence, and the growing distrust many people have toward traditional institutions.

Whether you agree or disagree, the conversation forces a bigger question:

Who actually holds power in today’s geopolitical system?

A Russian cafe owner in Israel says vandals scrawled "RUSOREZ (Death to Russians)" on her window after she held a WW2 Victory Day event marking the defeat of Nazi Germany.

Marina Morozova, owner of Bistro Morozova in Nahariya, said the gathering included free meals, wartime songs and personal stories about relatives who survived WWII.

Hey Bill , are you in favor that Europeans get replaced with non-Europeans ?

No, not at all.

If not then what can reverse that process that would not be called a "nazi"?

I genuinely don't know.

But it seems to me the issue of migration has little or nothing to do with a patriotic Russian being prevented from celebrating Russia's defeat of the Nazis. That surely looks like pure Russophobia and nothing else.

@ Bill and Jaak. Point of information?

I regard the USSR under Stalin as being certainly no better than Germany under Hitler; therefore being "liberated" by the one from the other, is not an accurate word in my lexicon.

I distinguish sharply between Christian Orthodox Russia, and the seven decades of anti-Christian USSR.

"Holy Russia" was probably the most pervasively Christian country since the Byzantine Empire, from which it evolved. Therefore the murder and suppression of Christianity by the (relatively tiny proportion of) Bolsheviks needed to be - and was - almost certainly the largest scale, most sustained, and most ruthless murder and torment inflicted in the history of the world - exactly because it was the oppression of a majority, by a minority.

Yet this remains almost unknown, and of near zero interest or concern, in The West - despite the stalwart work of Solzhenitsyn.

Alexander Mercouris (
@AMercouris
): One of the reasons that these stereotypes and themes about Russia have been so long-lived is that they have never been confronted in the West. People have never come out and said that these are manifestations of Russophobia, a type of racism; that this way of depicting Russians, stereotyping them, is essentially racist.

And for that reason, since they’re never confronted in that way, people just go on repeating them.

But if there’s ever a proper, sustained political decision to confront it, to expose it as a type of racism, then I think it would collapse very quickly. And at that point, by the way, we would be moving beyond Russophobia, and that’s the moment when perhaps a real rapprochement with the Russians can take place.
