Will the West’s greed and hatred lead to the end of the world?
It can certainly be said that the risk for nuclear war is far greater today than it was less a year ago.

Russia’s Statement at the UNSC Briefing on Attacks by Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Zaporozhye NPP
We repeatedly warned our Western colleagues that if they do not call the Kiev regime to reason, it will go for most atrocious and reckless actions that will have implications far beyond the Ukrainian borders.

Watch: Britney Griner’s Guilty Verdict In Russia Is All About Viktor Bout!

How Ukraine Lost Its Riches
On February 24, the day Russian troops crossed the borders to Ukraine, I wrote about the potential end state of the operation: Looking at this map I believe that the most advantageous end state for Russia would be the creation of a new independent country, call it Novorussiya, on the land east of the Dnieper and… Continue reading

The Intricate Fight For Africa: The Legacy of the Soviet Union vs Western Colonialism
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s recent tour in Africa was meant to be a game changer, not only in terms of Russia’s relations with the continent, but in the global power struggle involving the US, Europe, China, India, Turkey and others. Continue reading

Policy By Other Means
“Hybrid war”. Western propagandists love the expression “The bad guys are doing nasty underhand things to counter our clean-cut decent and wholly justified activities” but they are just making noise. As Clausewitz knew, however, there is an actual meaning: Continue reading

What Game Theory Can Tell us about the War in Ukraine
What game theory can tell us about the war in Ukraine, a recent LA Times op-ed by two American academics, has to be the worst exposition of game theory in times of war that has ever seen parchment since Thucydides discussed the Melian Dialogue 2,500 years ago in his History of the Peloponnesian Wars we previously discussed.

Going to Samarkand
The SCO and other pan-Eurasian organizations play a completely different – respectful, consensual – ball game. And that’s why they are catching the full attention of most of the Global South. The meeting of the SCO Ministerial Council in Tashkent this past Friday involved some very serious business. That was the key preparatory reunion previous to the… Continue reading

Last Tango in Washington?
Reality has a way of catching up to us. Sometimes it comes via a sudden shock — Sputnik or Tet.

What Presidents Say Does Not Matter. It Is The Execution Of Policies That Counts
Yesterday, on July 28/29 2022 three independent entities stated the obvious fact that the president of the United States is just a front puppet who has no power to fulfill the promises he makes during various interactions with foreign leaders. The dangers evolving from this state are enormous but rarely noted. Continue reading
