Bretton Woods Conference: July 1-22, 1944, then, Ufa SCO-BRICS Summit, July 6-10, 2015, now.

This of course, unless Western/Israeli colonialism does not push humanity to the brink, with a last desperate attempt to save its

So what is the real deal with Iran?

This column was written for the Unz Review: http://www.unz.com/tsaker/so-what-is-the-real-deal-with-iran/ I have to begin this column with a mea culpa: I have been predicting a US attack on Iran since at least 2007 and so far, I have been completely wrong. The attack never happened. What I did get right, at least I hope so, are the reasons why this attack has failed to materialize, at least so far. In purely

What is “Ukrainian nation”, and what are its future options?

By Tatzhit source: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e8b_1438150640 There are a lot of arguments for the fact that Ukrainian nation does not exist, all Ukrainians are Russians brainwashed to hate their nation, Ukrainian history is fake, etc. Mostly, these arguments are put forth by people who do not understand the difference between “nation” and “ethnicity”. The idea of a “nation” really originated in the age of gunpowder, when mass armies and industrialization brought the

Iran nuclear deal: the Islamic Republic sticks to its guns

By Sayed Hasan Translated from French by Jenny Bright  (See previous article: “ The triumph of the Islamic Republic ”) Attached is the translation of the speech of Sayed Khamenei following the nuclear deal. On July 18th, 2015, in his first speech after Iran’s nuclear agreement signed four days ago, Sayed Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, sent a resounding message to the West, especially the United

It’s Not the Muslims Stupid!

by GH Eliason  @TomiLahren’s rant heard round’ the world was the first I’ve ever heard of her. I listened to it a couple of times and a few of her other shows to understand her perspective and motivation. The way she repeatedly ties radical terrorism to Islam and then backs off half a step before letting loose another salvo against Muslims and president Obama is almost artistic. I live in

Oleg Tsarev on the current situation in the Donbass and in Ukraine

SOURCE. Translated by Carpatho-Russian. Edited by Tatzhit. From the editor:  Ex-MP Oleg Tsarev was the last truly “Pro-Eastern” politician in Ukraine who attempted to act through democratic channels, e.g. running in a presidential election against Poroshenko. After he was severely beaten by a nationalist mob in Kiev, he withdrew his candidacy and called on all men of honor to do the same, saying the election is undemocratic and it is

The new Russian Naval Doctrine – one very important sentence

Russia has recently published her new official Naval Doctrine.  The full document can be downloaded from the Presidency’s website here (in Russian). To be honest, there is nothing earth shattering in this document.  The document explains the purpose of this doctrine, the missions of the Russian Navy and includes a region by region review of the challenges and opportunities for Russia on the world’s oceans, including the Arctic and Antarctic

Reorganization of the SITREPs

Dear friends, You probably have noticed that the daily SITREPs have been coming in with some irregularity recently.  This is due to the fact that two of my research assistants – Raskolnikova and Duff – have had to stop their activities.   One of them is facing some personal difficulties while the other one has simply disappeared.  The good news is that Scott will now become my senior researcher and Baaz,

Ukraine SITREP July 24th, 2015 by Scott

Interesting linguistic developments. I have always wanted to create a new Russian word. Those of you who speak Russian are aware that it’s not really that difficult. However, you can’t force this process. When the situation is right, a new word just comes out of your mouth naturally. The Ukrainian crisis gives people very many situations that are ideal for the birth of new words and expressions. If everything else

The Russia-U.S. Conventional Military Balance

This column was written for the Unz Review: http://www.unz.com/tsaker/the-russia-u-s-conventional-balance/ In a recent column for the Unz Review I wrote that “under any conceivable scenario Russia does have the means to basically completely destroy the USA as a country in about 30min (the USA, of course, can do the same to Russia). Any US war planner would have to consider the escalatory potential of any military action against Russia.” This still

Kiev is in a stalemate

by Rostislav Ischenko source: http://pravdanews.info/poroshenko-okazalsya-v-patovoy-situatsii-rostislav-ischenko.html translation: Alena Scarecrow On July 21st in Minsk there was held another regular meeting of the contact group devoted to settling the Ukrainian conflict. It resulted in reaching an agreement on the withdrawal of tanks and weapons of up to 100 mm caliber from the delimitation line. The corresponding document was drawn out – however, not signed. As for the political issues, the parties once

Ukraine SITREP July 22nd, 2015 by Scott

Ukraine Kiev regime armed forces operation to put the end to the Right Sector The prevailing understanding amongst the brightest Ukrainian political analysts is that the “Kremlin controlled” Right Sector is destabilizing the situation in the country. Yet another version states that it’s “Putin’s agent” Poroshenko fighting against true Ukrainian patriots. Also, that the “Anti-terrorist Operation” in the Western parts of Ukraine is “Moscow’s plot” to destroy Ukraine. The whole

Three underrated and overlooked areas of potential Sino-Russian cooperation

by Mister Unknown When Sino-Russian collaboration is discussed in the media – be it western, Russian, or Chinese – the most-often discussed areas of cooperation are energy (e.g. the big gas deal last year), defense (e.g. Russian arms sales & joint exercises), and more recently, the new Silk Road as part of the Eurasian integration effort. It’s perfectly understandable that these are the focus items in the press, since they’re the “big wins” with big dollar amounts and

Nuland’s Plan For The Balkans (And How It Can Dramatically Backfire) – Part II

by Andrew Korybko PART II: Nuland’s Plan For The Balkans (And How It Can Dramatically Backfire) (Please read Part I before this article) Having laid out Nuland’s vision for the Balkans, it’s now time to reverse her processes and show how some of them can be wittily co-opted to liberate the region from unipolar control. The article will address each of the three themes that Nuland spoke upon and highlight

Community news: Sheikh Imran Hosein needs help & SouthFront is censured (again!)

Dear friends, I have two things to report today: First, Sheikh Imran Hosein has had his book “Jerusalem in the Qur’an” (69’000 words) translated to Russian and he now is looking for somebody to check this text for errors.  Considering all the kind support our community has received from the Sheikh I would be delighted if a member of our community would agree to help him with this important task. 

Nuland’s Plan For The Balkans (And How It Can Dramatically Backfire) – Part I

by Andrew Korybko PART I: Nuland’s Plan For The Balkans (And How It Can Dramatically Backfire) US regime change expert and architect of regional destabilization, Victoria Nuland, recently paid a visit to the Balkans to preach the oft-repeated gospel of Euro-Atlantic integration. Her trip comes at a time when the region is experiencing a spike in geostrategic significance , having emerged at the forefront of the New Cold War between
