From Imperial Failures to Imperial Excuses
By Batiushka for the Saker blog The decline of Rome was the natural and inevitable effect of immoderate greatness.

The Ukraine Conflict — A Primer (Gonzalo Lira)
I like Gonzalo Lira’s videos A LOT, but today I am posting one without seeing it (I don’t have the time), so I cannot say that I approve (or disapprove) of what he says. If you disagree with X he says, please don’t blame me :-) That being said, I am pretty sure that he will be spot on. Andrei
Blog archiving and other issues
Dear friends, WOW! I truly did not expect such a tsunami of emails and offers of support. I can’t even begin to tell you how touched I am. I am especially touched by those who never contacted me in the past and who decided to reach out. All I can say is that I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Right now I don’t have the time
The War and the Future
By Batiushka for the Saker blog Foreword: Stop Living in the Past Since the historic Special Military Operation to liberate the peoples of the Ukraine from their US puppet tyrants in Kiev began on 24 February 2022, the post-1945 settlement has been over.

Greed, usury and the world
by Naresh Jotwani for the Saker blog The Saker recently posted an article (here) on the important subject of the quality of leadership in the US. In a comment to that article, I asked him the following question: From what you have accurately pointed out, is it possible also to draw the following inescapable conclusions? 1.

A panicked Empire tries to make Russia an ‘offer it can’t refuse’
By Pepe Escobar, originally posted at The Cradle, reposted with the author’s permission Realizing NATO’s war with Russia will likely end unfavorably, the US is test-driving an exit offer. But why should Moscow take indirect proposals seriously, especially on the eve of its new military advance and while it is in the winning seat? Those behind the Throne are never more dangerous than when they have their backs against the
