I am simply going to suggest that you read this piece, fresh from the keyboard of Pepe Escobar... 'Russia's judo kick to the western financial gut' - The Cradle You can also find this on the Saker blog too.

Russia More Interested in Syria Than Ukraine Right Now
Turning now from a situation which holds everybody's attention just now - Ukraine - scene of yet another hasty US and western withdrawal (they like it better in Lvov (Lviv) than Kiev - it's as far west and close to an EU border you can get and still be in Ukraine), to something of greater...

The United States is a Trouble Maker Not a Peace Broker. Russia is a Peace Broker.
The role of peace broker does not suit the US even one iota. They have never known a period of peace in their entire history. In fact whenever the threat of peace comes up, they go and start a war somewhere, so as not to break their record of continuous conflict. Of course this is... Continue Reading →

They also know they are actually more likely to destroy not only most of their allies if they attempted... Continue Reading →

I was going to write on a story of the Taiwan situation today, in which the West has revealed itself as a paper tiger following its dismissal from Afghanistan. Perhaps I will get to that tomorrow. Today, a similar story from a different background has been thrust to the fore by this article from Global... Continue Reading →
US Lagging Even Further Behind Russia Than Was Thought
'New US hypersonic missile is not breakthrough weapon — experts' - TASS It is a common conception today that the state of United States weaponry development is considerably behind that of the Russian Federation, they having dropped the ball somewhere back in late last century due to their own hubris as to the invincibility factor...

Planet Earth: What Goes Around, Comes Around
I said yesterday that climate change was not the greatest threat to humanity this century, and that is true.
