Well, it was meant to be a Ukraine counter offensive against Russian forces occupying what will soon be Russian territory. It's now a heap of smouldering wrecks and hundreds of dead bodies. Such foolishness defines Ukraine's leadership (and its NATO mentors). The title of the related story below (as so many machine translations of Russian... Continue Reading →
The New World Order in the Making
The world, you know, that place shaped as a sphere, where you and I live, somewhere, mostly on the one third of its surface not covered by water - and it doesn't or should not matter wherever that may be - that world does not want or need to be governed, ruled, oppressed, or dictated...

On the Need to Increase the Size of the Russian Military
As I mentioned recently, the Russian military is to be modestly expanded by the beginning of next year. This, as some have projected, is not a general mobilisation to replace huge losses in manpower occasioned by the now six month old conflict in Ukraine (it does not go further back than that no matter the...

August 25/26, 2022 – Preliminary Actions
Yesterday I spoke of various non-specific rumours surrounding the Russian Special Operation in Ukraine. Rumours that point to the need for something to happen to settle matters before winter sets in there. I pointed to a couple of background activities which specify Russia's overall commitments and designs for the near future, but these were/are not... Continue Reading →

Sometimes it is an Absolute Joy to Share
I get to read a great many articles on a range of subjects every day. Occasionally I wonder why it is that I do that. Of course, I do know why. Apart from keeping abreast of what is going on in the world - and it is very necessary to be very selective on exactly... Continue Reading →
The Saker Blog Loses All Credibility
I have never seen so much crap written in a single blog post as I read this evening on the Saker blog. I have long been wary of the open Christian evangelism (not the same kind of the even more derisible 'evangelism' of the more outrageous protestant elements of the western church, let me add)...

A Simulated World? To What Purpose?
No, I am not advocating or even suggesting that we live in a simulated world. Not that it is a question which doesn't bear consideration. How many people for instance think The Matrix is real? A good many, you would think, based on how much it, or ideas from within it, get mentioned. Is a... Continue Reading →
A Free Europe – Under Russian Protection
This character 'Batiushka', whoever he is (the name, a pseudonym, I think [I could be misinterpreting that of course], appears to be a corruption or derivation of 'batyushka' - the anglicised version of the cyrillic 'ะะฐัััะบะฐ', meaning father, daddy, or priest ), is becoming something of a feature on the Saker blog in recent times....
