Ukraine SITREP May 14th, 2015 by Scott

For these two days it’s the Nutcracker come to life. Russia returning home from her Olympic celebrations is attacked from all sides by genetically mutated rats. They ran from under this Maidan Christmas tree. They brought The Plague with them a la Albert Camus. The rat army swells like a tsunami wave. At this moment, China’s fleet all in white uniform enters the Black Sea, and the NATO rats start

Yet another huge diplomatic victory for Russia

Unless you read Russian or monitor the free blogosphere, you might not have noticed this, but something big just happened in Russia: Kerry, Nuland and a large State Department delegation have traveled to Sochi were they met with Foreign Minister Lavrov and then with President Putin.  With the latter they spent over 4 hours.  Not only that, but Kerry made a few rather interesting remarks, saying that the Minsk-2 Agreement

Ukraine SITREP May 12th, 2015 by Raskolnikova

1)The IMF confirmed the prediction of the fall of the Ukrainian economy in 2015  Ukraine’s economy went into a deep crisis, and there is clearly a confusion of the government of Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Even the IMF sees that all the talk about reforms remain being just talks. In fact, the government of Arseniy Yatsenyuk by their actions (introduction of new taxes, rising utility prices, the ruin of banks) destroys the

Special Report: Vietnam between the US, Russia and China

Foreword by the Saker:  I don’t know who “Conical Hat” really is.  All I know is that he is a Vietnamese reader of the blog.  And judging by his article, he is somebody with superb knowledge and understanding of Vietnam’s history and international relations.  We emailed each other a couple of times and, one day, I suggested that he write up something about the geostrategic position of Vietnam.  What Conical

Special Report on the escalating situation in Macedonia

by “S.P.” Before, I write anything else, I would first call on you not to turn this into another “it’s not Macedonia – it’s FRYOM” thing. This feud about a name should be the last of your worries now, whether you are a Greek or Macedonian. So, everybody calm down. I’m just used to name Macedonia and I have no personal opinion on that issue. By now the majority here

Happy Birthday Donbass!

Just a short – but dramatic – year ago, the people of the Donbass voted in a referendum to create the People’s Republic of Donetsk (DNR).  They naively hoped that this referendum would force the junta in Kiev to finally begin serious negotiations.  Instead, they got *total* war featuring armored assaults, aerial bombings, the use of ballistic missile and chemical attacks.  And yet, under these absolutely horrific conditions, the people of

Exceptionalists vs Integrationalists: The Eurasian-Wide Struggle

by Andrew Korybko All the chaos that’s been unleashed in Eurasia can be attributed to the existential battle between the Exceptionalists and the Integrationalists, represented respectively by the unipolar and multipolar worlds.

Obama’s Duplicitous V-Day Remarks

by Stephen Lendman Obama and Vladimir Putin are geopolitical polar opposites. Russia’s leader supports peace, stability and mutual cooperation among all countries. He believes nation-state sovereignty is inviolable. He embraces UN Charter and other fundamental rule of law principles. He opposes interfering in the internal affairs of other nations. He believes no country may attack another except in self-defense – and only if Security Council members authorize it as core
