Belying the predictions of western media, Russia’s special operation in Ukraine is entering a successful endgame on the political and diplomatic track much sooner than one would have thought. A close reading of the outcome of the 3rd round of peace talks in Belarus last night is that the Ukrainian […]

Lukashenko’s Russian Nuke Proposal Should Prompt NATO To Finally Pay Attention
Lukashenko’s proposal should hopefully prompt NATO to finally pay attention to Russia’s legitimate security concerns. The bloc cannot continue expanding eastward in violation of the oral obligations that it made to Moscow at the end of the Old Cold War not to advance past the then-recently reunified German frontier. Belarusian […]
Ukraine, Belarus In The Eye Of The Storm
Wouldn’t that be a delicious irony — the British defence secretary Ben Wallace rushing to Warsaw on Thursday to work up detailed plans to strengthen Poland’s border fence with Belarus? Britain had partnered the US in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and is now the self-appointed protector of the […]
Manufactured Cruelties: Belarus, Poland And The Refugee Crisis
Refugee crises are often manufactured by governments. They can be done at the source: war, famine, rapacious institutions. They can also be manufactured by the refusal of governments to accept those seeking asylum, sanctuary and refuge. The latter is very much in evidence in Europe: governments of the European Union […]
The Truth Behind Eastern Europe’s Migrant Crisis
These deeper strategic dimensions show just how complicated the Eastern European Migrant Crisis is. Eastern Europe’s Migrant Crisis has taken the continent by storm and unexpectedly become its top security concern. Poland accuses Belarus of waging “hybrid warfare” through “Weapons of Mass Migration” as an asymmetrical response to the West’s […]
Poland’s Eastern Migrant Crisis Has A Psychological Effect On Its Population
What follows are five observations about how all of this has instilled fear and fury in the hearts of so many Poles. Much has been written over the months about the potential reasons for the Migrant Crisis that Poland is presently facing from Belarus, where several tens of thousands of […]
The EU vs CNN: Who’s Lying About Last Year’s Belarus-Wagner Provocation?
It’s impossible for both of them to be right: this interpretation of events is either ‘disinformation’ or the truth, there’s no middle ground. “EU vs. Disinfo”, the self-described “flagship project of the European External Action Service’s East Stratcom Task Force” (the EEAS being the self-described “EU’s diplomatic service”) that functions […]
Weaponised Refugees And Hybrid Attacks
Refugees and asylum seekers provide rich pickings for demagogues and political opportunists. The Australian approach politicises their plight by arguing that they are illegitimate depending on the way they arrive, namely, by boat. The twentieth anniversary of the MV Tampa’s attempt to dock at Christmas Island with over 400 such […]
Unexpected Trouble In The Three Seas States Might Cause Them To Rethink Their Policies
Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland – the top “Three Seas Initiative” states most active in the US-backed Hybrid War on Belarus – are experiencing some unexpected trouble at home and along their frontiers with that former Soviet Republic which might cause them to rethink their aggressive policies against Minsk for pragmatism’s […]
Does The West Counterintuitively Want Belarus To Become More Dependent On Russia?
The West’s coordinated pressure campaign against Belarus in the aftermath of last week’s Ryanair incident almost counterintuitively suggests that it wants the Eastern European country to become more dependent on Russia despite a year of fearmongering about this scenario, which might actually be silently wished for at this particular point […]
The Flight From Athens To Vilnius: A Political Undershoot
The arrest by Belarusian authorities of Nexta Telegram channel founder Roman Protasevich on board an Irish plane travelling from Greece to Lithuania shows that Alexander Lukashenko is far from the provincial dictator that his opponents both inside the country and abroad make him out to be. There is no point […]
Why’s The West Covering Up The Foiled Belarusian Coup Attempt?
President Putin used the global attention afforded to him during his annual address to the Federal Assembly on Wednesday to raise widespread awareness of the Belarusian coup attempt that his security services helped foil last weekend but which has since been mostly ignored by the Western Mainstream Media. The Hybrid […]
