Turning down Russian gas has already caused Poland huge losses
by: Olga Samofalova translation by: Alena Scarecrow source: http://www.vz.ru/economy/2015/10/13/772080.html “We are independent in the gas issue”, – happily announces Poland having finally built a terminal for receiving liquefied natural gas (LNG). However, the new marine way of delivering gas from Qatar instead of saving financial resources will entail even much higher costs than earlier. Warsaw is already paying – now, that it has not yet received one single cubic meter

In the meantime, in Nazi-occupied Ukraine
The dramatic developments in Syria have somewhat overshadowed the events in Nazi-occupied Ukraine. True, nothing truly ‘major’ has happened there, but that in itself is a major development and a case of “no news is good news”. Banderastan: Remember how close we were to a Ukronazi attack just a few months or weeks ago? That attack never materialized. This is, I submit, major news and something which most of us

Towards a Third Intifada: Why Israel has no Future in the Middle East
By Salah Lamrani (Sayed Hasan) On September 9, 2015, Sayed Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, repeated the Islamic Republic’s commitment, in word and deed, to liberate Palestine and put an end to the so-called State of Israel, the last colony on Earth, just as vicious as it is anachronical. He stated that in spite of the nuclear deal, the USA or “Great Satan and enemy of the peoples”, worse than

Answer to a disappointed reader
David just posted this comment on the blog: “Trying to read between your lines, Saker, has become an interesting pastime activity, from time to time. Sometimes I can make much sense of what you say, at other times I cannot make much sense at all, unless I complete the analysis with respect to some disguised or veiled purpose. Your earlier writings and thoughts ( I have been reading you for
EU Germany SITREP October 12th, 2015 by Gepard Schröder
So far all established political parties in Germany have supported the influx of migrants to Germany during the ongoing migration crisis. With the notable exception of the CSU which is a more or less independent branch of Merkel’s CDU. The deal between the two parties is that Bavaria is CSU territory, the rest of Germany is CDU territory and on a federal level they work together in one faction of
South East Asia SITREP October 12th, 2015 by Joseph K

Rewriting History or Making History?
by Kakaouskia Greetings to the Saker community and readers. This year marked the 70th anniversary since the end of World War Two. And it has proved that the world has changed dramatically. The parades in Moscow and Beijing and the subsequent snubbing by the “West” prove that in today’s politics everything is fair; even the dishonour of the memory of the millions of people that died so that Europe can
Week one of the Russian military intervention in Syria
This column was originally written for the Unz Review: http://www.unz.com/tsaker/week-one-of-the-russian-military-intervention-in-syria/ The speed at which the Russian military operation in Syria was conducted what a big surprise for the US intelligence community (which I can hardly blame as I was just as surprised myself). Make no mistake here, the Russian force in Syria is a small one, at least for the time being, and it does not even remotely resemble what
There is an exhaustive explanation for the disgrace of the American allies in Syria
by Evgenii Krutikov Translated by Carpatho-Russian source: http://vz.ru/world/2015/9/23/768458.html The scandal around the “Thirtieth Division”, prepared by American instructors for war with Assad, but who immediately surrendered to the Islamic “al-Nusra Front” right after crossing the Turkish border, is resounding around the entire world now. There will be many such scandals. They are predetermined by the very methodology of the American instruction of “allies” in Syria, a well as in Georgia
Syrian SITREP October 10th, 2015 by John Rambo
The Middle East Wars – Syria Syrian SITREP October 10th, 2015 by John Rambo It’s been an active few days to say the least. Russian cruise missiles. Syrian ground offensives. Media blitz. Rebel TOWs. Airspace incursions. The war in Syria has definitely been turned up a notch. It seems just as Russia fired those cruise missiles from the Caspian the West fired back with a media propaganda campaign. “Missiles fell
Dreams of a sleeping alligator – dream two: size matters and Obama’s Zugzwang
So was it a good time or a bad time to go on break? It was a good time. Why? Well, for one thing, I *needed* it. Then, well, as you see, I did not really ‘leave’. But most importantly, this is a good time to take a break precisely because the Russians have begun a military operation in Syria. The truth be told, *during* a military operation very few
Putin – the incredible Abou Ali
by Ghassan Kadi As the news of the Russian military action in Syria intensifies and takes more rather affirmative steps, the rest of the world cannot help but to look with a mixed bag of emotions all the way from awe to gratitude, anxiety, disappointment, frustration or fear and many others in between. Diverse as they may be in their outlooks, all observers are united in their gasps of disbelief.
Syria SITREP October 07th 2015 by John Rambo
It’s been a week since the Russian airstrikes began in Syria. From the Syrian military standpoint this was perfect timing. Morale has been an all-time low amongst the Syrian Arab Army and Hezbollah forces deployed in Syria. Heavy intermixed regular and irregular fighting for a better part of four and a half years is draining to any military, let alone a small country such as Syria. [Source] Syria is a
