You probably have heard of the European attempt to reacquire some relevance: the proposal to create a “European Union Army”. In part, this is, as an attempt by the Europeans to show that they matter, that they can do something by themselves, that they are not completely US lackeys. This might also be a reaction to the crazy statements of General Philip Breedlove, the Commander of the U.S. European Command

by Alexander Mercouris Since Greek was granted a 4 month extension there has been a sustained attempt both within Greece and in the English speaking world to claim that it is Syriza rather than the EU hardliners that came out ahead on points. This is the view of Tsipras but also the view of such Anglophone commentators ranging from Jack Rasmus on the far left to Paul Krugman on
by Alexander Mercouris As everyone by now knows I have been a week in Moscow. It was an extraordinary, wonderful visit packed with productive work and meetings with good friends. There is so much to say and I will try to say it when I can. But first a quick general impression about the economic and security situation unrelated to specific political news or to the Nemtsov murder (of which
According to RT, Zaur Dadaev, who had reportedly confessed involvement in Nemtsov’s murder, said he organized the crime in revenge for the opposition leader’s “negative comments on Muslims and Islam,” according to Rosbalt’s source in law enforcement. Sounds plausible? Not really. Possible? I suppose so. But plausible? Zaur Dadaev – who supposedly pulled the trigger – was the deputy commander of the Chechen special operations battalion “Vostok”. Hardly your typical
by F. William Engdahl for New Eastern Outlook First appeared here: Russia’s Remarkable Renaissance Something remarkable is taking place in Russia, and it’s quite different from what we might expect. Rather than feel humiliated and depressed Russia is undergoing what I would call a kind of renaissance, a rebirth as a nation. This despite or in fact because the West, led by the so-called neo-conservatives in Washington, is trying

Ukraine unofficially has 272 percent inflation. And is not a Kremlin-sponsored propaganda outlet which says so, or some rabidly nationalistic Russian blogger, but the very AngloZionist Washington Post. In the same article, the WAPO also states that the Hrivna is in free fall: Whether this admission is made in the hopes of getting more funding to the Kiev regime or whether its intention is to signal that it is time
It took the combined efforts of the FSB/SKR/MVD one week to make the first arrests in the case of the murder of Nemtsov: a group of 7 men, all from the North Caucasus were arrested. A sixth man killed himself with a hand grenade in Grozny when he was about to be arrested. The Russians used the combination of the “Potok” HD camera monitoring network and intercepts of all the
My “favorite” freak in Kiev is the infamous Oleg Liashko who provides the world with a weekly scandal of some kind. His latest is a fight with Sergei Melnichuk, the commander of the “Aidar” death-squad. Considering that Liahsko got elected riding on his alleged endorsement by the members of Aidar there is a certain irony to see these two men accusing each other of betrayal. See the video for yourself
7/03/15 — around 17:00, an attempt to blow up Alexei’s car was made at the Mikhailovka checkpoint. Luckily he only suffered light injuries. Soon after the assassination attempt Alexei Borisovich has recorded his appeal. Commentary from Kotaro Kazzura: Now a comment from myself, don’t read it if you kinda don’t have own opinion, don’t know the facts etc. the events happening in Donbass and events that caused them and stuff,
TEHRAN (FNA)– Iraqi Special Forces said they have arrested several ISIL’s foreign military advisors, including American, Israeli and Arab nationals in an operation in Mosul in the Northern parts of the country. The Iraqi forces said they have retrieved four foreign passports, including those that belonged to American and Israeli nationals and one that belonged to the national of a Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) member-state, from ISIL’s military advisors.
We have all heard the Ukrainian nationalist line: they are the true Slavs inheritors of the Kievan Rus while the modern Russians are really either Tatars or Ugro-Finns or God knows what else. And then there the famous quote by, I think, Napoleon, who said “scratch the Russian and you will find the Tatar”. The interesting thing here is that there might well be some truth to that, and more
Lots’ of blog news today. I will present them one by one: New homepage format: Many of you have complained about the new “thematic” presentation of the new blog’s homepage. As I have mentioned before, there is an easy fix: bookmark http://10.16.86.131/latest-articles/ instead of http://10.16.86.131/. This way you will always immediately see the “chronological” presentation of every single article posted. But after discussing it with my webmaster, we have decided
