Since Russia has at long last clearly and firmly staked its claim to be a major component of the emerging New World, not afraid of combating the tyranny and gross inhumanity of the crumbling empire of the western nations, the self-styled 'Essential Nation' - the US - not only part of what can now be...

…but …but …nobody told me…
That's pathetic ...and it is no excuse ...well, it may be an excuse (and I'm sure many will use it) but not an acceptable excuse or one which carries any value or has any deterrence effect against stormy weather. No-one has to tell you. No-one is tasked to tell you. It is no-one's job to... Continue Reading →

Get the Real Deal – Putin Explains Everything
Supplementing what I said yesterday but not available until a few hours ago (thanks to the hard work in translation requested by the Saker blog) is a full video of the meeting of President Putin with a group of Russian flight attendants, in which he answers someof their questions.

“Russia’s fight is the fight of all peoples who value freedom and resist tyranny.”
"We are all Russians now." says Eamon McKinney at Strategic Culture Foundation in the fine article he titles "The War on Humanity". He is also responsible for the quote I used as my title for this piece. And he is right on all three counts. We are in a war, all of us, though most... Continue Reading →
