Libyan Oil Infrastrusture Assets Seized By the US Special Operations Forces?
The unexpectedly quick EU consent to take immediate sanctions against Iran “coincided” with seizure of Libyan oil terminals. To certain extent the negative affect of expected oil shortage for European economy could be minimized in case the utmost is done to boost the Brega and Ras-Lanuf production capacities till the […]
Looking For Ways to Make Anti-Syrian Aggression ‘Legal’
The recent weeks events in Syria give rise to new apprehensions. Thanks to Russia’s efforts the situation in Syria was not formally included into the agenda of the UN Security Council session that took place on January 24, so the issue was considered indirectly. The official agenda was “The situation […]
«Shoot First, Ask Questions Later»
The news of a plea deal for US Marine Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich charged in connection with the killing of 24 Iraqi civilians in 2005 neither caused a sensation nor even grabbed the headlines for a considerable period of time in the US media and the Internet. Initially, Wuterich faced […]

Its mandate included investigating those committed by the former government; NATO and insurgents. It also sought to identify human […]
US Electoral System, or Freedom House Up To Its Usual Tricks
What is the difference between a good teacher and a bad teacher? A good teacher is at least the one who is able to solve the task he gives to his students. That is why I have always been puzzled by the fact that while “introducing democracy” all over the […]

Touch Iran in a War, You Will Hear Russia and China
Despite the areas of difference and the rivalries between Moscow and Tehran, Russian and Iranian ties are increasing. Both Russia and Iran share many commonalities. They are both major energy exporters, have deeply seated interests in the South Caucasus, oppose NATO’s missile shield, and want to keep the U.S. and […]
Wise Bear on the Mountaintop
At the regularly scheduled briefing in October 2011, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Liu Weimin said that “China has no intention nor energy to seek global leadership.” I need to make it very clear that I sympathize with the Chinese government’s position. Maybe in the future the international community will examine […]
Fake Crystall: Reflections on US Human Rights Concept
Thousands of years old cultural taboos are reasonable and logical unlike US State Department statements. All deviations from family traditions impede the full performance of the most important natural function: to give birth and raise descendants, to transmit one’s genetic, intellectual and moral potential through them. By imposing its specific […]
Campaign Finance Revolution
Several Occupy Wall Street splinter groups are now coalescing around a set of political demands. One that is long overdue and enjoys unanimous support is campaign finance reform. All the formulas that I have seen center on publicly funded elections. While this would be a huge step in the right […]
The Sacred Cow of “Democracy”
I recently happened to criticize Western-style democracy, and my Italian friends objected: “We don’t get any complaints about democracy!” I think it’s a taboo—an notion of recent decades during which Western-style democracy has become a kind of sacred cow.
