What is the Collective West?
By Batiushka for the Saker Blog Introduction Western State propaganda mouthpieces like the BBC or CNN, their journalists abundantly supplied and rewarded by their spy services, love to talk about ‘the international community’. They substituted this new phrase for the old one of ‘the free world’ in the 1990s. Of course, both phrases are nonsense. What did/do they actually mean? The Free World The 1740 Imperialist anthem ‘Rule, Britannia’ has

Open thread for today and a few notes
The news just does not stop coming. In the big scheme of things, China is completely and unreservedly committed to Russia and the concept of mutual and indivisible security and a true multipolarity in the world. CHINA WEIGHS IN “While Europe and the international community are calling to end the war, the US continues to fan the flames and is ready to fight to the last Ukrainian.” “The US continues

The Schrödinger euros
by Jorge Vilches for the Saker Blog What ? Payment in Rubles ?? Unthinkable, don´t even mention the word say EU officials and authorities. Instead, Europe has formally demanded to pay for Russian imports with Schrödinger euros as explained below.

Fascism in Ukraine: Past and Present. 2014-2022
By Francis Lee for the Saker Blog I wrote this particular piece in 2014/15 just after the February 2014 coup. As it turned out the coup has evolved into a greater political and strategic military conflict – orchestrated by outside forces, the western NATO bloc, and carried out by internal neo-nazi forces in the west of the Ukraine. These far-right factions have changed their names and a leadership which rotates
Faina Savenkova: Letters from the front.
Hello, great-grandfather Vasily! We are again on the eve of the Victory Day. And I want to ask your forgiveness. Forgive us for failing, forgetting about your exploits and war heroes.

That your victory was an

As one of the founders of the United Nations and a permanent member of the UN Security Council, Russia has always supported this universal organisation.

We are doing all we can to support the principles on which it rests, and we intend to continue doing this in the future. We
Macron re-election win no win for Iran, JCPOA or Muslims
by Ramin Mazaheri for the Saker Blog and cross-posted with PressTV The re-election of Emmanuel Macron is being celebrated by Brussels, high finance and his “bourgeois bloc” of core French supporters, but Macron’s record shows that Muslims and Muslim nations anticipate little reason to celebrate. After Macron’s victory the Iranian foreign ministry called for face-to-face talks to resume on the JCPOA pact on Iran’s nuclear energy program “as soon as
