To cease fire this week. Nobody could make out what it means in practice (is it pulling troops out or turning Donbass into scorched earth?). “We have to stop fire this week.

Tightening the U.S. Grip on Western Europe by Diana Johnstone

Since Berlin and Washington helped a right-wing regime come to power in Ukraine, and thereby provoked a dangerous conflict with Russia, leading German media outlets have not shrunk from any lie in order to justify this policy.

The Sino-Russian Gas Deal: Psychological Warfare in Financial Markets By Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya
A natural gas deal between Russia and China was in the works for a long time, so why all the fuss over its unveiling? One has to look beyond the headlines when considering world events.

The future visible in St Petersburg By Pepe Escobar
In more ways than one, last week heralded the birth of a Eurasian century. Of course, the US$400 billion Russia-China gas deal was clinched only at the last minute in Shanghai, on Wednesday (a complement to the June 2013, 25-year, $270 billion oil deal between Rosneft and China’s CNPC.)
