by Auslander I am an old man, born shortly after the second war which in reality was a continuation of the first war. They had to grow another generation of men to slaughter and slaughter they did in a hideous dance of death the likes of which the world has never seen. Since the moment I was born, and before, there has not been one moment of peace on this

Saker Men of the Year 2015: the Russian Airmen in Syria, Major-General Qasem Soleimani and Alexander Zakharchenko

In 2013 I nominated the Syrian solider for his exceptional courage and fighting spirit and in 2014 I nominated the Russian solider and I think that in both cases this was very much deserved.  And this year again, the title goes collectively to a

The IMF forgives Ukraine’s debt to Russia

by Michael Hudson specially for the Saker Blog On December 8, the IMF’s Chief Spokesman Gerry Rice sent a note saying: “The IMF’s Executive Board met today and agreed to change the current policy on non-toleration of arrears to official creditors.
