The Christmas weekend saw the revealing of the latest batch of Twitter Files, which show outright pressure from the FBI and CIA to censor "unsafe" voices on Twitter. While previous releases of Twitter documents had shown lots of partisan and domestic manipulation, this is the strongest proof yet that the real suppression wasn't merely of Republican accounts or viewpoints but of anything that was a threat to the unipolar world order, namely the BRICS and any fruitful Western relationship with that.
Additionally, Russian officials have come out increasingly strong in the recent days regarding the true status of the US-Russia relationship. This marks a new phase with the Russian leadership, and by default much of the rest of the world, laying bare the reality of the West's efforts to destroy Russia. It may be harsh, but it is exposing the truth of the matter.
The alternative before us is to turn the United States and the Western world back into a beacon of hope and a friend of other nations wanting a peaceful and prosperous future - rather than an enemy.
