These are bleak times. I’ve been in serious conversation with some deep sources and interlocutors – those who know but don’t need to show off, privileging discretion. They are all deeply worried. This is what one of them, a New York strategic planner, sent me: The propaganda attack against Putin […]

Hammering out Cold War 2.0: actors and victims
ORIENTAL REVIEW publishes the full report made by Professor Vladimir Kozin from the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies at the European security conference held in Athens (Greece) on Oct 30-31, 2014. The report was dedicated to the current and emerging military and political challenges the European continent is facing, most […]
Middle East: The Regional Chessboard
PRELUDE ‘When the rich get richer they get more powerful and that puts them in the position to lobby for policies that make them richer still’ – former Clinton advisor Larry Summers. It is not the intent here to get into specific details about the Middle East which is of […]
Obama’s ‘stupid stuff’ turned upside down
I’ve been rovin’ around Europe for a while and the star of the show is definitely The Caliph. Former Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has totally outstripped Vladimir Putin as Doctor Evil of the hour. Where’s a good ol’ Cold War 2.0 when you need it? Well, upstaged by the Pentagon’s “long […]
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation on the rise
As the stand-off between Russia and the West continues, one organisation seems to be completely off the radar, and yet has managed to make great strides in its development and growth. This organisation is the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), an intergovernmental group of Central Asian countries aiming to promote cooperation […]
Russian civilization at stake in Novorossia
After the army of Novorossia launched a major offensive and began rapidly expanding the area under its control, it became clear to even the most skeptical observers that it was only a matter of time until the militia would inflict a decisive military victory over Kiev. But after Novorossia’s military […]
A Reality Check From Russia
I’ve been in St. Petersburg and Moscow for the past two weeks. As for the tragedy being played out in Ukraine, it’s been surprising to find total uniformity of opinion from Russian citizens, including groups of our CCI alumni. This is not due to “controlled media,” since all I’ve spoken […]
Will NATO liberate Jihadistan?
Drive your cart and your plow Over the bones of the dead … – William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Caliph Ibrahim, aka Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, self-declared leader of Islamic State, formerly the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, really sports a mean PR vein. When the show seemed scheduled […]
An exception to American exceptionalism (I)
The Ukrainian crisis has thrust Russia’s role in world politics sharply to the fore. In this risky game Putin is proving he has a good conceptual grasp of how to create a new world order to replace the tyranny of American exceptionalism. Let us first examine the military and strategic […]
Shadow NATO Comes Out of the Closet
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk declared his country’s intention to join NATO a few days ago, officially flip-flopping from his stance expressed nearly half a year ago. He said that the government was submitting a bill to the Rada to officially change Ukraine’s non-aligned status and also de-facto prohibit it […]
Sen. Corker’s bill is a loyalty test for Europe
In May 2014 U.S. Sen. Bob Corker introduced a bill known as the “Russian Aggression Prevention Act of 2014.” As drafted, bill no. 2277 stands little to no chance of passage. “A barking dog seldom bites,” noted Dimitri K. Simes ironically about the role of the White House in this […]
Western plutocracy goes bear hunting
The post-Cold War status quo in Eastern Europe, not to mention in Western Europe, is now dead. For Western plutocracy, that 0.00001% at the top, the real Masters of the Universe, Russia is the ultimate prize; an immense treasure of natural resources, forests, pristine water, minerals, oil and gas. Enough […]
