And I just wanted to give our listeners just some sense of how you got from being the godson of Leon Trotsky
Update: This transcript is now complete. Ed Note: This transcript is not complete and we will issue an update when it is completed.

(Mr Putin was on top form with an excellent, even exhaustive and detailed economic tour de force for Russia, and then of course for the sane world, or our Zone B).

By Gaius Baltar for the Saker Blog Some knowledgeable people, apparently including the Pope, are beginning to suspect that there may be more going on in the world than just the war in the Ukraine. They say that World War 3 has already started and things will get worse from now on. This can be difficult to determine while we are participating in the unfolding events and do not have
by Jorge Vilches for the Saker Blog The title is correct, no mistakes. And, of course, there will be “no fuels for Europe” none at all… but only if you care to believe the EU leadership when insisting that by December 2022 no seaborne Russian crude oil will evermore be imported.

By Batiushka for the Saker Blog I have noticed that there are a few reviewers of the Special Operation in the Ukraine who seem to support it only because they are racist, anti-Ukrainian.

The world is busy with the greatest part busy with building their lives and their countries and regaining sovereignty, and the smallest portion busy sinking. We have Spief going on in St Petersburg and seemingly a number of loose threads are being pulled together. We have Europe’s gas supply being throttled by Russia, as Siemens could not supply repair parts because Canada did not want to release the parts because

By Pepe Escobar, posted with the author’s permission and widely cross-posted The speaker of the Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, may have created the defining acronym for the emerging multipolar world: “the new G8”.

By Amarynth for the Saker Blog We start with the broader environment: It is Zelensky’s decision, says the Chorus of the Great Walkback. “The people and the government of Ukraine, led by President Zelensky, must decide on their own the issue of the possibility of territorial concessions.” – US Secretary of State Blinken. According to the head of the State Department, the United States does not intend to impose its
This is a series of talks where each talk is short and one can enjoy the long video in shorter pieces. An absolute must-listen is the convenor’s (Radhika Desai) opening statement which explains so clearly the concept of multi-polarity or pluripolarity. The second one by Victor Gao brings a new view to how China perceives these changes in our world. Ben Norton from Multipolarista takes a look at the influence
By Batiushka for The Saker A huge and historic injustice took place in Europe in 1914, which over the next four years left many, many millions dead. Who was responsible? The power-lusting Prussians of Germany, using Austro-Hungarian imperialism as their pawn, or the power-lusting Establishment of Great Britain, using French revanchism as their pawn? Some would say that all were to some extent responsible, though the spontaneous 1914 Christmas Armistice
