Alleged Russian attack on Poland and what to expect

“On the Barricades” s05e53

This is a special release of “On the Barricades” in which hosts Maria Cernat and Boyan Stanislavski discuss the latest developments inside Poland to do with the alleged Russian missile which killed two civilians in the Polish town of Przewodów on Tuesday evening. The corporate media has shifted propagandistic tone in the 24 hours, from exuberance toward the potential escalation, to reservation after President Biden insisted on further investigations and eventually said that the Russian-made missile was fired from Ukraine. This, in the very same days in which many of us believed negotiations for peace could be on the table– referring to the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Mark Milley’s comments and Biden’s meeting with Xi Jinping. How do we critically make sense of this event, its coverage, and what does it mean for the war?

Boyan and Maria also discuss the events related to Bankman Fried, wealthy donor to the Democrat party with ties to the Ukrainian regime, whose FTX cryptocurrency empire went bankrupt, in a scandal which the establishment refuses to investigate.
