Posts From The Saker
Dear friends, Thanks to my awesome friend Tatzhit Mikhailovich I can, once again, share with you the subtitled version of a crucially important video statement made by Nikolai Starikov. The “hurray patriots” are going to be enraged, but a lot of you will appreciate the sophistication of Starikov’s (well, Putin’s, really) strategy. Enjoy!

By: Jeff J. Brown Cross linked with 44 Days . Welcome to the new Moscow-Beijing Express, on The Saker, which will be reporting periodically on Russian-Chinese news and perspectives. If you have not already done so, it is highly recommended to read the following interview between The Saker and Jeff J. Brown. It’s a great primer on Sino-Russian relations, past, present and future. http://10.16.86.131/saker-interview-with-jeff-j-brown/ It is always interesting to
Dear friends, I recently got an interesting email about a new website: the “Watchdog Media Institute”. http://www.watchdogmediainstitute.com/ I took a look at the site, found it very interesting, so I emailed its author and asked for a short interview. Chris is, I think, a beautiful example of what I call “the other West” – a West which not only is not Russian, but who joins the battle in defence of
Dear friends, I just got an email form our chief of IT security. The problem has been found and fixed. Normally, everything should work well again. Thanks to AA, HCS and LL for their fast intervention – you guys are the best!! Have a super-wonderful week-end everybody! The Saker
Dear friends, As many of you have noticed, the blog had an outage yesterday. Though I am not sure what happened, one of our IT specialists found the location of the problem and fixed it. I am not sure whether this fix is permanent or temporary (I just woke up to a short email from him, we did not have the time to discuss this yet), but at least from

Dear friends, Jeff J. Brown, whom I interviewed here and who contributed this to the blog, has agreed to write a monthly contribution to this blog. I have high hopes for this as I believe that his “view from China” will be an ideal complement to what Andrew Korybko writes from Moscow and what I write from the USA. We need to things: a) a nice title to his column,
Dear friends, You might have heard that Hezbollah fighters in Syria have recently made some substantial progress against the Takfiris of IS/Daesh. They have freed several villages and taken control of several key positions near the Syrian border. I hope to get a full report about all this very soon. But today I just wanted to share with you a photo sent to me by a Lebanese friend which depicts
So the Pope met with Putin. And the media (corporate and free) is full of all sorts of opinions, analyses, interpretations, etc. Frankly, I have no interest in commenting either on the visit (though I have an opinion about it, of course) or, even less, on the mostly sophomoric and ill-informed about it. What I propose to do is to expose you to a dramatically different point of you to
A video roundtable explains why the IMF, Europe, and Western corporations don’t have the country’s best interests at heart. by Alexander Reed Kelly for The Nation Nearly a year and a half after the Euromaidan protests ushered a new government into power in Kiev, Ukraine is still in trouble. Some 6,200 people have been killed, more than 15,000 wounded, and 1.2 million internally displaced in a civil war that had
Well, turns out that the LNR and DNR do not consider Crimea has part of the Ukraine after all. My friend Alexander Mercouris explains it all on Russia Insider. Alexander, in his kindness, calls it all a “misrepresentation”. Well, I won’t be as kind and I will call it yet another c*********k for which, again, heads should roll. Figuratively of course. But still. How in the world did these
by Tatzhit Mikhailovich (original here: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bd4_1433956858) As previously reported on LiveLeak and RT (and completely ignored in Western mass media – hello “free and unbiased reporting”) there have been two protests against the regime in Kiev in the past few days: a large protest march and a smaller “Maidan 3.0” protest camp. On Sunday night, the protest camp has been dispersed by unknown masked assailants, apparently with the blessing from
Dear friends It is my immense privilege and honor to submit to you my interview with Michael Hudson, whom I consider to be the best economist in the West. The Saker The Saker: We hear that the Ukraine will have to declare a default, but that it will probably be a “technical” default as opposed to an official one. Some say that the decision of the Rada to allow Iatseniuk
