It had to come. The signs have been there for a while. And even from the start we have known the result of the conflict in Ukraine. The difference now is that it shows.

It’s Going to be a Busy Year – One Way or Another – Part 2
This was not meant to be a subscript to my previous post. It just happened to turn out that way. But it does give me the opportunity to voice my utter contempt for the baseless accusations of one Mr James Howard Kunstler in his latest article this week. Against my better judgement I am going...

It’s Going to be a Busy Year – One Way or Another
Another exciting geo-everything analysis from the irrepressible Pepe Escobar, this time on The Cradle website. But first a word about The Cradle website itself.

From my distant perspective, Russia is a great nation inhabited by extraordinarily intelligent and capable people – albeit one that has repeatedly... Continue Reading →
It’s Time to Get Real
...at least as real as you can, from an armchair. Time to feel something of what it's about. Time to work out how THEY feel. Those men who put it all on the line every minute of every day, for their country, and countrymen, and women. It's not for me to say but, in order... Continue Reading →
Medvedev’s Important 2022 Summary
I missed this on December 26 (while also trying to avoid all unnecessary seasonal guff) but found it today in the pages of the Titanic Lifeboat Academy (they rarely miss anything important). Dmitry Medvedev has become a changed man (at least in my own humble estimation) since his appointment as Deputy Chairman of the Russian... Continue Reading →
