"Neighbours in Europe" - Sergey Lavrov Published just three weeks ago, this analysis of relations between the Western European nations and the Russian Federation since the fall of the Berlin Wall by the Russian Foreign Minister, is an example of the kind of pragmatic level-headedness for which he is famous. Thank goodness there is one... Continue Reading →
Middle East Analysis
"The USA is now at war, de-facto and de-jure, with BOTH Iraq and Iran" An excellent analysis by The Saker on the current situation vis-à-vis the US/Iraq/Iran. Keep checking in at The Saker's site for fresh updates.
Time For Foreign Military To Leave Iraq
"Iraq’s parliament passes resolution to end presence of foreign forces" - TASS A giant step forward. Now to make it happen. Any decent nation would with a military presence in Iraq would remove its troops now. Germany has already initiated the first steps to do just that. Will others follow? The US would not dare...

Incompetence, or Bloody Minded Arrogance?
"U.S. acting Chargé d’Affaires in Ukraine, William Taylor, on the necessity to deploy peacekeepers to Donbass, 'seems to be competing with Ukrainian officials in terms of incompetence,' said DPR Foreign Minister Natalia Nikonorova." That's quite amusing (I'm laughing at you America) and also very true. Actually it is probably less incompetence (to be incompetent you... Continue Reading →

"Zarif criticizes Pompeo for saying Iraqis were celebrating Soleimani’s death" The people running America are uncultured, couthless zombies with warped and dehumanised brains. No doubt about it. Their recent actions... Continue Reading →
Of Admiration and Contempt
"Russia and the USA both finish the year with a “Grand Finale” of sorts" I am a couple of days late with this, other things have been occupying my time, but the Saker's views are something that I consider to be sensible, honest and worth repeating. In fact a better summary of the current nature... Continue Reading →
“Ami Go Home!”
Germany needs to wake up. It is no longer being well served by its leaders. But there is one German politician, actually two if I understand correctly - Oskar Lafontaine and Albrecht Müller - who seem to have the right idea. Their country needs to shake off the American yoke that has born them down for decades. ... Continue Reading →
Mother Nature’s Natural Nuclear Reactors
Mother nature knows how to make a nuclear reactor that will intermittently operate for more than a million years. I have for some time now been working on gathering information to support a central theme of my view of the origins of human civilisation. That theme being that nuclear weapons were used some 4,000 years... Continue Reading →
