Use as open thread for those aspects of our blue marble that falls within the general Saker discussion sphere. The Big News of the day is that Shoigu took the brakes off and told his commanders in the field that there is a need for speed and bigger and intensified action in the Ukraine. The timing is epic! On July 17, 1942, the Battle of Stalingrad began, one of the

By Guilherme Wilbert for the Saker Blog I try to bring a reflection in most of my texts about what competes for the international diplomatic and monetary future after Operation Z in Ukraine, but also, I always try to bring the ideological part into the discussion because this still makes many people’s heads spin.

By Batiushka for the Saker Blog The Barbarian West By the fifth century AD the barbarians had moved into Western Europe in significant numbers, bringing about the fall of Old Rome in what is now Italy in 410.

By Femi Akomolafe for the Saker Blog A confession: I borrowed the title of this article from a disillusioned CIA agent, John Stockwell, who wrote the book, In Search of Enemies: A CIA Story. Let me share some quotes: “The CIA was casting about for the next war, amoral, ruthless, eager to do its thing. Its thing being covert little games where the action was secret and no one kept

Tarik in the Vinyard for the Saker Blog Empires, dynasties, new eras, they rise not on ideological abstractions or brute force, but with intellectual or moral discipline. Then they wither not by rigorous reason or righteous fury, but with pompous and extravagant proclamations. That’s just the way it is, that’s what they all do. This particular version of the age
A suggestion on how to promote TheSaker community and channel from Jimmie Moglia “I produced the following 5-minute video to show a method of helping The Saker Community and Website – a method that, equally, may be of some benefit to the participant.”
Summary “When the situation in and around Ukraine is being considered at various UN fora there are occasional voices of doubt of the Neo-Nazi nature of the current Maidan regime in Kiev and its armed fighters, including those from radical nationalist groups.” Description “The meeting is set to address this issue.
