Russian Exodus from the West
by Peter Koenig for the Saker blog By now the West – the US, Canada, Australia and the super-puppets of Europe, overall more than 25 countries – has expelled more than 130 Russian diplomats. All as punishment for Russia’s alleged nerve gas poisoning of a former Russian / MI6 double-agent, Sergei Skripal (66) and his daughter Yulia (33), who was visiting her father from Moscow. Sergei Skripal lived in the
How the East can save the West
[This column was written for the Unz Review] Europe: My honor is solidarity! “That tells you all you need to know about the difference between modern Britain and the government of Vladimir Putin. They make Novichok, we make light sabers. One a hideous weapon that is specifically intended for assassination. The other an implausible theatrical prop with a mysterious buzz. But which of those two weapons is really more effective

By: Amir NOUR[1] for the Saker Blog “We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can’t bomb it into peace” (Michael Franti)[2] David and Goliath in an upside-down world President Donald Trump doesn’t seem to share Georges Clemenceau’s view that “war is too serious a matter to be left to the military”.

China taking the long road to solve the petro-yuan puzzle
by Pepe Escobar (cross-posted with the Asia Times by special agreement with the author) Few geoeconomic game-changers are more spectacular than yuan-denominated future crude oil contracts – especially when set up by the largest importer of crude on the planet. And yet Beijing’s media strategy seems to have consisted in substantially play down the official launch of the petro-yuan at the Shanghai International Energy Exchange. Still, some euphoria was in

Tian Xia : The Chinese World View
by Anne Teoh for the Saker Blog What’s implied in Xi’s description of ‘continuous’ and ‘dragon’ from the Xi-Trump’s conversation in Tian An Men. Today, it’s generally acknowledged that China is a continuous civilization. During their walkabout in Tian An Men (Heavenly Peace Gates) grounds in Beijing 2017, Xi Jinping told Trump, “China has a continuous civilization.” Trump’s response was the Egyptians had an ancient civilization going back 5000 years

The Western-Eurasian seismic shift; the March 2018 Factors
by Ghassan Kadi for the Saker blog March 2018 seems to continue to be full of surprises, and when we speak about the imminent and inevitable collapse of the Empire, and the consequential demise of global Western influence, we often forget who is the biggest loser, or rather victim, of this forthcoming event. Without a speck of doubt, the biggest loser will be the Western civilian. The time has come

What if U.S attacks Syria again?
By Aram Mirzaei for the Saker blog In recent weeks, there’s been a lot of politics behind the ongoing East Ghouta military operation. Western government officials have all been “outraged” at the carnage resulting from the Syrian Army siege of the Islamist-held East Ghouta region of Damascus. They have all right to be angry, after all it’s their terrorist investments that are being battered on the battlefield. The success of
Spring fundraiser – an emergency on so many levels!
Dear friends, Today I am launching my Spring fundraiser because the current situation is an emergency on many levels. First and foremost, there is a very real risk of war. Let me rephrase that, I think that we can say that we have a certitude that another war is imminent. The only question is where (Iran? Syria? the Ukraine? the DPRK?) and whether it will escalate to a direct nuclear
What happened to the West I was born in?!
Frankly, I am awed, amazed and even embarrassed. I was born in Switzerland, lived most of my life there, I also visited most of Europe, and I lived in the USA for over 20 years. Yet in my worst nightmares I could not have imagined the West sinking as low as it does now. I mean, yes, I know about the false flags, the corruption, the colonial wars, the NATO

Will the Putin-Xi era supersede the Western liberal (dis)order?
by Pepe Escobar (cross-posted with the Asia Times by special agreement with the author) The Chinese constitutional amendment allowing Xi Jinping the possibility of further presidential terms — staying in power long enough to bring “national rejuvenation” combined with the Russian election re-confirming Vladimir Putin in the presidency have assured consistency and continuity for the Russia-China strategic partnership way into the next decade. This will facilitate the interaction between the
The “Globalists” Love Gefilte Fish
by Israel Shamir for the Unz Review Our grandparents faced a quandary when they had to describe some body parts or physical activity. The ‘obscene words’ remained taboo at least until D.H. Lawrence broke the prohibition in Lady Chatterley’s Lover, and the four-letter words became printable only recently. However, now we have new banned words, or words one can use only at one’s own peril. ‘The Jews’ is such a word.
