In the wake of Biden’s visit: Serbia at the geopolitical crossroad

by Stephen Karganovic US Vice President Joseph Biden just completed a “three day visit to Serbia.” The phrase in parentheses is the spin Serbia’s puppet government in Belgrade puts on it. He actually spent only a couple of hours in Belgrade, just enough to deliver instructions. From there he flew off to Prishtina to spend the bulk of his time on Serbian territory in the NATO occupied province of Kosovo

The AngloZionists failed to boot Russia out of the Olympics, or even to affect Russia’s medals standing

Let’s see Russia’s Olympic medal standing over the past four Olympic games: Apparently, banning the ENTIRE track and field group did not prevent Russia from making it into the 4th position. If you ask me, all the medals achieved this year in track and field are *worthless*. Which means that the *real* Russian performance was even better than what is reflected in her 4th position. Screw you, AngloZionist Empire :-P

Ukraine was Right! Why Russia is the Biggest Threat in the World!

by GH Eliason Is Russia really the greatest threat to the world? The answer lies somewhere between how you define a threat and what you’re actually afraid of.

Could Trump Pull Off a Post-Party Coalition?

by Pepe Escobar for Sputnik News Hillary Clinton, Queen of Chaos, Queen of War, Golden Goldman Girl, for all practical purposes is by now the official bipartisan candidate of US neocons and neoliberalcons alike. Certified add-ons include Wall Street; selected hedge funds; TPP cheerleaders; CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) interventionists; media barons; multinational corporate hustlers; in fact virtually the whole exceptionalist US establishment, duly underwritten by the bipartisan, mega-wealthy 0.0001%.
