Often these words come from the differences between them, especially as regards diet or dress.

Ending NATO and Correcting Stalin’s Mistake

By Batiushka for the Saker blog ‘To Hell with Washington’ Colonel Douglas Macgregor Introduction: The Atlantic and Europe Judging by its name, NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was only ever about the USA and the UK, an agreement between Americans and the half-American Churchill.

Black Holes And Digestive Systems, Or Why Hegemon Is Doomed

By F(unny)MAN for The Saker blog Following the incredibly positive comments I read after my last article, I feel again invigorated, and not anymore like an alone (and rational) castaway floating in a raft in the middle of an ocean of brainwashed Zombies. I feel how the spark of sarcasm rekindles the fires in my sick brain, and… bang! Here we go off again. I have been reading and hearing

The OUN-Russia war (no longer an SMO): What do the parties want and what does the future hold?

This may enable us to make educated guesses as to how events may ultimately unfold. WHAT DOES RUSSIA WANT? The party whose openly stated goals

The Middle East and US global power: Fossil Fuel- Lifeblood of the American Empire

by Phillyguy for The Saker Blog Summary Among all of the events shaping post-civil war US economic development, one of the most prominent was the establishment of Standard Oil by John D. Rockefeller in 1870.

What is not mentioned in those articles is that the target of the Turkish strike was the US-run

This is a story from the home front. It is a
