  • Cry “Havoc!” and Let Slip the Dogs of War

    The mainstream media is, without exception, repeating the unevidenced claim from the Biden administration that Russia is about to invade Ukraine. They do this with no proper journalistic questioning or scepticism. They do this despite the fact that, in the last month, not only have we had repeated cries that invasion is “imminent”, we have… Continue reading

  • Vladimir Putin: Working meetings with Sergei Lavrov and Sergei Shoigu

    President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Lavrov, we agreed today that the Foreign Ministry would present its views on the responses we received to our proposals sent to our US colleagues in Washington and our NATO colleagues in Brussels regarding security issues in Europe and their response to our concerns, primarily NATO’s endless and, in our view, most dangerous eastward expansion, now aimed at reaching out to former Soviet republics, including… Continue reading

  • ‘Operation Cyclone – Ukraine Edition’ The Real Plan?

    For almost three months, the Western mainstream media, in a move not dissimilar to its previous assertions that Saddam Hussein had the capability to launch WMDs within 45 minutes, or that Iran was building a nuclear bomb, has repeatedly claimed that Russia is planning an ‘imminent’ invasion of its Western neighbour Ukraine – under the rule of… Continue reading

  • The ‘Frozen Ground Theory’ And Other Ukraine War Nonsense

    Since October 30 2021 first U.S. and then other ‘western’ media have been filled with predictions of a Russian war against the Ukraine. Today David Ignatius, the CIA’s spokesperson resident at the Washington Post, makes another dire claim: Continue reading

  • Thoughts on West’s planned Ukraine provocation (no, not “Russian invasion”)

    The clownish diplomats (and media) in the West have been gunning heavily for Russia-Ukraine war recently. As per their usual, their claims are pure fabrications with zero evidence whatsoever. Just hot air. And as per usual, when challenged to substantiate their claims, they stutter and talk in circles, hoping the questions will stop. Continue reading

  • Ukraine: Situation and Background

    As predicted by SPR more than a year ago, the current US Administration and its foreign policy strategists are now continuing their geopolitical campaign in Ukraine where they left off in 2016. Russia, in turn, appears to be determined to defend ‘annexed’ Crimea (base of the Russian Black Sea fleet) as well as Russian-speaking parts of… Continue reading

  • Biden dials back belligerence toward Russia

    The White House readout of US President Joe Biden’s conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday conveys the impression that its leitmotif was Washington’s threat of  sanctions against Russia if it attacked Ukraine. But it is a hackneyed message that wouldn’t have taken more than a minute or two to convey. Yet, the conversation lasted “a… Continue reading

  • US war hysteria over Ukraine won’t gel

    The two takeaways out of the French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Moscow and his six-hour long talks with President Vladimir Putin have been the assurance held out by the latter that Russian forces would not ramp up the crisis near Ukraine’s borders — “there would be no deterioration or escalation” — and second, an… Continue reading

  • Biden’s Big Fail… the Russian Invasion Fantasy

    US President Joe Biden accused Russian leader Vladimir Putin of “wanting things he cannot get”. He was referring to Moscow’s security demands in Europe with regard to the US-led NATO military alliance. Looks like the man in the White House is inadvertently doing a bit of self-projection. It’s Biden who seems to want things that… Continue reading

  • “Do You Want a War Between Russia and NATO?”

    ISTANBUL – Emmanuel Macron is no Talleyrand. Self-promoted as “Jupiterian”, he may have finally got down to earth for a proper realpolitik insight while ruminating one of the former French Minister of Foreign Affairs key bon mots: “A diplomat who says ‘yes’ means ‘maybe’, a diplomat who says ‘maybe’ means ‘no’, and a diplomat who says… Continue reading

  • ‘They used axes to spare the ammo’: How modern Ukraine’s Nazi heroes massacred civilians during WWII

    The Second World War is usually seen as a confrontation between giant military alliances. However, in reality, many smaller separate conflicts unfolded within this epic war, and the struggle between peoples and countries was often conducted without compromise or mercy. One of the darkest and least-known pages of the Second World War is the Volyn… Continue reading
