You obviously dont look very hard
Pepe Escobar is the roving correspondent for Asia Times/Hong Kong, an analyst for RT and TomDispatch, and a frequent contributor to websites and radio shows ranging from the US to East Asia. Born in Brazil, he's been a foreign correspondent since 1985, and has lived in London, Paris, Milan, Los Angeles, Washington, Bangkok and Hong Kong.
He writes a lot of opinion pieces that are syndicated all over the world, which this is, and I happen to agree with. But because it is an opinion piece, you're free to disagree with it. In my personal opinion, the West, US primarily, began the Ukraine fiasco in 2014 and its gone downhill from there. We can argue over in the Ukraine thread if you prefer.
As far as ZH, it is a news aggregator site, primarily focused on macroeconomics, and was and still is one of the most followed sources on Wall Street.
They pick up MANY different writers/authors/bloggers/news organizations content and aggregate it in a blog format. Some of it is their own content as well. Like most things, you may find some content you agree with and some you dont. They frequently break stories that they are condemned for, like the Lab origin of Covid, a year before anyone else.
Saying ZH is Russia propaganda shows your lack of understanding of the aggregator blog model and how it works, and/or you havent really spent much time reading their content to know.
