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 →
August 24/25, 2022 – Action/Decision Date
It has been rumoured for several days now, that something may happen today that will effect the Special Operation by the Russian Federation in Ukraine. It appears that 'something' has now been announced by the President, Vladimir Putin. From what I understand of the limited information available at this time, this day will mark a...

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....

If Viewed Strategically, the Case is One of Containment of the US
For long pursuing its own policy of containment of those it views as threats to its divine mission, it now appears the US (though that nation may not yet realise or even acknowledge the true situation - due to its constant obsessive mirror work of self-adoration) is itself in process of being contained and eventually...

The Voice of Sanity in a World of Chaos
Some things are of vastly more importance than others. When one of the few national leaders who can also be described as true internationalists and a voice of sanity in a world where there are few such voices, addresses an audience of prominent persons gathered from a large number of the world's nations, at an...
