Pavel Zarubin: Mr President, we have just followed your meeting with the head of Senegal who is also the current leader of the African Union. He expressed, and actually in the past week many countries have expressed concern not so much about the food crisis, but they are afraid of large-scale famine because world food prices are climbing and so are oil and gas prices, These issues are interrelated.

Grief days with changes in Narrative… or why Trolls are Doomed

By F(unny) MAN for the Saker Blog In the last days we have been observing some important developments: The MSM defecators (1) are changing the Narrative from: Weeeeeeeeee, we are the best of the best. 404 Super-army of Call-of-duty soldiers are defeating the Russian Zombie hordes. Russian Army is losing millions of men, thousands of tanks, hundredths of aircrafts. Russia has no more men, ammo, missiles, whatever, and they will

It’s education, stupid!

By Fẹmi Akọmọlafẹ for the Saker Blog Maybe it is time the Collective West does something about its educational system. Watching the performances of Russians and Western officials, one immediately notices that the much-touted and ultra-expensive “education “ provided in the West today is actually not up to par. The Russian actions in Ukraine revealed a West where leaders remain emotional juveniles who continue to REACT jerkily to Russia’s deft

Sitrep Operation Z: Not your normal sitrep

By Amarynth for the Saker Blog We abandon our usual format for a different take. How long can we stare into this carnage of killing without losing part of one’s own soul. https://t.me/mod_russia_en/1969 Missile troops and artillery have hit 128 command posts, 169 firing positions of artillery and mortar batteries, as well as 623 areas of AFU manpower and military equipment concentration.  The attacks have resulted in the elimination of

Unmasking – Part 2

By Naresh Jotwani for the Saker Blog From time to time, certain self-promoting “brainy” people come up with complicated theories about how the world should be organized and run. One imagines that such people dislike doing real work for a living – and grandiose theorizing proves to be an irresistibly tempting gig, with many perks. Such a theory gets labelled as “something-ism”, such as “liberalism”, “monetarism”, “capitalism”, “Marxism”, “socialism” and

Quo Vadis, Mr Johnson?

By Batiushka for The Saker Blog ‘I…believe that…our children (will) some day (be) citizens of the same worldwide country under a flag which shall be a quartering of the Union Jack with the Stars and Stripes’.

Europe now cheats or suffers

by Jorge Vilches for the Saker Blog Europe has now painted itself into an infamous corner with only two choices left, nothing else. Both are definitely bad and terribly expensive — probably un-payable — in political and financial terms. On May 30, Brussels (a) dropped its previous declared strategy of ´buying Russian oil to prevent Moscow from selling it elsewhere at soaring prices´ (???) and (b) approved its sanctions package

The Sanctioned Ones: How Iran-Russia are setting new rules

While China, keen to ward off US sanctions as long as possible, is lagging, its RIC partners Iran and Russia are doing the legwork to break the west’s global financial grip.

Who are they, really? Ask a reporter who’s seen a million Yellow Vest faces

by Ramin Mazaheri for the Saker blog If I am permitted only one word to describe the Yellow Vests it is this: civic-minded. They are always referring to the common good and not the individual – in Western Liberal Democracy, with its emphasis on individual rights, competition and elitism, that is a revolutionary idea. (This is the thirteenth chapter in a new book, France’s Yellow Vests: Western Repression of the

How to Trick the Islamic Republic of Iran into being “party” to “Health” Regulations that are Hazardous to its Health, Survival, and Independence

By Mansoureh Tajik for the Saker Blog بسم الله . I shall try to make this critical essay reasonably short and to the point. Last week, during the annual visit by the members of Majlis, Ayatullah Khamenei, in parts of his speech, cautioned everyone about Iran’s and the Iranians’ vulnerabilities against the enemy. He said, “Anyone who has a role to play in this management [of the country] must realize

Moscow, do not believe in (Belgradian) tears!

By Višeslav Simić for the Saker Blog – Official Belgrade and Belgradian cultural and ecclesiastical “elites” are not only “unfriendly”[1] but are your enemies! It is now over 100 years since the Belgradian false crème de la crème, after hijacking the public sphere, embraced ethical fading and moral disengagement so feverishly that its infection has slowly seeped into the psyche of every member of our people dependent on this ruling caste.
