Nazi Germany wasn’t determined to conquer only Jews, by killing them all, but also to conquer the entire land-area of the world’s largest country, Russia, by enslaving all of its residents so as to provide the Lebensraum (Iiving space) in order for “Aryans” (pureblooded Christians, descendants of Adam & Eve […]

Russia’s Upcoming International Anti-Fascist Congress Is An Important Soft Power Move
It’s of urgent importance that the Western public realizes that the self-proclaimed ‘Antifa’ networks all across their civilizational ‘sphere of influence’ are actually faux-antifascists in that many of their tactics amount to the imposition of fascist policies under the Orwellian label of supposedly being ‘anti-fascist’. Those cells don’t have an […]
China: The “Yellow Peril”, Really?
President Biden is replaying the “yellow peril”: China would steal our patents, foster corruption and destroy the environment before imposing its totalitarian regime by force. Fortunately, the United States and NATO would protect democracies and peace. But then how to explain the alliance between Beijing and Moscow, which should feel the same fear? It would simply be the “alliance of dictatorships”. For anyone who lived through the Cold War, this narrative rings hollow.
Oil Price Stalks Another Superpower
In the geopolitical folklore, Afghanistan is supposed to have caused the end of the Soviet Union but in reality, the war wouldn’t have been a “bleeding wound” by 1989 had it not been for the precipitous fall in the Soviet income from oil exports. The expert opinion is today that […]
The Western Economic System Is Coming To An End
Already in the 18th century, British economists of the nascent capitalism were questioning the sustainability of this system around David Ricardo. What was initially very profitable would eventually become commonplace and no longer enrich its owner. Consumption could not eternally justify mass production. Later on, socialists, around Karl Marx, predicted […]
Why A Yalta II ?
The United States is not the hyper-power it dreamed of being. It has endured a terrible military defeat in Syria with a hundred allied states. Even if they continue to delude themselves, the time of reckoning has come. To survive, Washington has no choice but to ally itself with one of its adversaries. Russia or China? That is the question.
Russia’s International Tourism Reforms Show That It Has Nothing To Hide
The law that President Putin recently signed allowing tourists to remain in Russia for six months so long as they’ve booked their hotel stay in advance for the duration of their trip shows that Moscow has nothing to hide and is actually eager to encourage as many people as possible […]
What Will Macron Achieve By Selfish Opposition In NATO
The French President confirmed his reputation as the main freethinker in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A year ago he stated the death of the brain of NATO and now he said that the alliance continues to fight against the Treaty of Warsaw, although it hasn’t existed for a long […]
The Revival Of Russia And The Way Forward
It was President Putin who led Russia and played a vital role in its revival. After the disintegration of the former USSR in 1991, it was a mega-disaster and collapse of the political system, leading to dissolution. The first thing President Putin realized the mistakes of the Communist Party and […]
What Happened To JFK And A Foreign Policy Of Peace?
Sixty years ago, John F Kennedy (JFK) was inaugurated as president of the USA. In less than three years, before he was assassinated in November 1963, he initiated major changes in foreign policy. These foreign policy changes are documented in books such as “JFK and the Unspeakable” (2008) and “Betting […]
Never Belonging: George Blake’s Spy Exploits
Filling the espionage ranks with legions of the non-belonging comes with its share of risk. The process is counter-intuitive, putting stock in skill and aptitude above the potential compromise of loyalty and divergence. Eventually, such a recruit might find a set of closely guarded principles. The son of a Sephardic […]
Poland’s Lublin Triangle Will Create Lots of Trouble for Russian-Belarusian Relations
Poland’s ambitions to restore its long-lost Great Power status in Europe received a fresh impetus following the establishment of the so-called “Lublin Triangle” between itself, Lithuania, and Ukraine that de-facto aims to revive the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as the core of the Warsaw-led Three Seas Initiative, which is poised to create […]
