Dear friends,
I have heard the news that Igor Strelkov has been found dead, apparently hanged. A lot of you have emailed me. While I cannot prove a negative, so far NOT A SINGLE RUSSIAN OR NOVORUSSIAN SOURCE HAS CONFIRMED THIS including his friend el-Miurid. So I suggest that we take a deep breath, say a prayer, and wait before coming to conclusions
Also, I am working on my analysis and I should have it posted by this evening (US East Coast time).

UPDATE: I just came back home and, apparently, some of you have understood my warning not to come to conclusions as an endorsement of the theory that Strelkov was dead. Well, folks, I tried to be clear, but if somebody can read “not a single source has confirmed this” and “wait before coming to conclusions” as anything but an appeal NOT to believe this rumor, then I am at loss for words…
Oh well, so is life, I guess. I am going back to writing my Strelkov analysis.
Gimme an hour of so and I will post it

I love reading about sanctions on oil deepwater equipment.
Damn Google translates as meters and feet yards and miles.
Brazil is the only oil that explores the 7.500metros deep.

It is the only one qualified people and knows how to make.
Russian is aware of how to act on the ice.
Join the two, “goodbye” Middle East.

You people are not the only ones reading this site…
Saker posted this “news” for the rest of us. Whether the news is true or not, its news and I appreciate the important stuff not going through a Saker filter….
Don’t you have anything better to do that criticize ?

“Anonymous said…
The Saker, you should NOT spread the rumours like this.
It does not help and breaks one’s heart above all.
We are not in Hollywood.
please don’t do it in the future”
This is the goofiest post I’ve ever read
I can see you know Hollywood deeply…
I actually heard that an actor can’t get a job in Hollywood unless they are Zionist…I guess all the movie producers et al are zzz
As a Romanian, I don’t think I can like this Strelkov guy due to Transnistria.
Transnistria was part of Moldova, and Moldova was part of Romania, before the Soviet Union stoled that from us with their tanks.
I know many Russians think they are some sort of divine new byzantine empire, but in the end they are a nation hellbent on teritorial conquest.
In all the history of the last 600 years, the Romanians have stood like a rock against 3 empires that tried to destroy us:
– the Catholics of Hungary (with whom Putin is now allied)
– the Ottoman muslim empire ( now modern Turkey, with whom Putin now attempts to make an alliance)
– with Russian Tzarist empire (which Putin now tries to revive)
WE the Romanians are still here, inhabiting the ancient land of Dacia, speaking a Latin language with some slavic influence, and being Orthodox Christians by at least 800 years before slavs even entered Europe.
Now I don’t hate Russians, but that is for one simple thing: you Russians are Orthodox.
But your stupid desire to revive the so called Byzantine empire will utterly fail, as all empire fail.
The Americans are about to fail, and so will the EU empire.
Russia will be destroyed not by Americans nor by Chinese, but by Russians that even though they have the largest landmass (all aquired by military conquest) with loads of natural resources, and somehow you are unable to provide a decent standard of living for 90% of your population (except Moscow and Sankt Petersburg where people there have the standard of living of Portugal).
It’s sad to see you Russians using your implanted ethnic Russians in other countries by your Tzar first, then your Soviet Union as tools to carve up chunks from Ukraine, Romania, Moldova (which is Romanian land), Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia.
