This is a sad state of affairs, entirely the fault of the US invaders of Syria and their supported, de facto ground troops, the SDF.  Does America have no shame?  Syrian citizens in the remote areas of Hasaka and Qamishli, surrounded by SDF illegally controlled Syrian territory (courtesy the US invaders), find it necessary for...

The incongruity of this image (the story is secondary) of the leader of a NATO nation (a group that has, ruthlessly and without any logical reason, sworn undying enmity to Russia) whispering into the ear of the leader of the Russian nation on agreements made jointly between them. An unbelievably ridiculous situation all centred around... Continue Reading →

Good on Russia for the perspicacity to stand tall against the incongruousness of the other Normandy three. "Normandy Four leaders’ aides fail to agree on summit’s date, expert says" Of course they do.  What point is there in talking further when the agreed points from previous talks have not been implemented.  Only fools, the intransigent,...

In my view, nothing can, is going to, or ever will, remain the same - for long. And over a long life I have observed, and both science and logic tell us, that things... Continue Reading →

So now we have the Russian side of the story of the American air strike on Idlib last Saturday.  It reveals that no prior warning was given to either Russia or Turkey, revealing or rather cementing the cavalier, dangerous and infantile US attitude to everybody else on the planet. "The US airstrike on the de-escalation... Continue Reading →

We all knew, did we not, that the Americans are born liars and cheats, dabblers in the dark arts of subterfuge and deceit, driven by a lower-brained aggressive animus of self-ordained exceptionalism - and entirely untrustworthy, accusing everyone else of using exactly the unscrupulous methods that they themselves employ? Russia is of course fully aware... Continue Reading →
