More Promises Of Western Aid Emboldened Ukraine To Neutralize Anti-Corruption Institutions
Ukraine’s gravy train will continue chugging along, fueled by Western taxpayers’ funds, though all this promised aid will only perpetuate the proxy war on Russia instead of ending it. The EU and NATO recently promised more aid for Ukraine. The first did so in late May after the European Council […]
Here’s How Lindsey Graham Manipulated Trump Against Putin
It all started by tricking Trump into thinking that Ukraine has trillions of dollars’ worth of rare earths. RT published two critical pieces about Lindsey Graham, “World War mastermind: Here’s America’s most dangerous person” and “Graham threatens Putin: US war hawk escalates rhetoric in alignment with military lobby”, shortly after […]
China Might Not Want Russia To Lose, But It Might Not Want Russia To Win Either
A Russian loss would be catastrophic for China’s security, while a Russian victory could end the discounted energy bonanza that’s helping it maintain its economic growth amidst the slowdown, not to mention accelerate the US’ “Pivot (back) to (East) Asia” for more muscularly containing it. The South China Morning Post (SCMP) cited […]
The Sino-Indo Rivalry Will Shape Trump’s Anti-Russian Secondary Sanctions Decision
The tariff-driven prisoner’s dilemma between China and India could work to Russia’s advantage. One of the three pillars of Trump’s newly announced policy towards the Ukrainian Conflict is the imposition of up to 100% tariffs on Russia’s trading partners if a peace deal isn’t reached within 50 days. This is much less than the 500% […]

Russia became the first country to formally recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan […]
Peace In Ukraine Won’t End The West’s Hybrid War On Russia
Their refined Hybrid War model will involve efforts to win the “tech race”, a new Western division of labor for containing Russia in Europe, and AI-generated anti-Russian infowars. Russia’s natural resource wealth and new role in accelerating multipolar processes incentivize the West to continue its Hybrid War on Russia even in the event of peace […]
Analyzing Xi’s Absence From The Latest BRICS Summit
This could stimulate US-Brazilian ties, comparatively reduce China’s role in Brazil’s balancing act if India’s role therein soon becomes more significant, and fuel Western media speculation about China’s commitment to the group. Chinese President Xi Jinping declined to travel to Rio for the latest BRICS Summit on the reported pretext of scheduling […]
The UK Aims To Entrench Its Influence In Estonia In Order To Lead The Arctic-Baltic Front
The possible deployment of nuclear-capable F-35As there, which could be equipped with US air-to-ground nukes since the UK no longer has its own, would give London a leading role in managing the joint Arctic-Baltic front against Russia that’s expected to remain even after the Ukrainian Conflict ends. Estonian Defense Minister […]
The Latest Trouble In Russian-Azerbaijani Relations Might Be Part Of A Turkish-US Powerplay
Turkiye sees an opportunity to turbocharge its rise as a Eurasian Great Power along Russia’s entire southern periphery in ways that autonomously align with American grand strategic interests. Russian-Azerbaijani relations are in trouble as a result of two scandals. The first concerns the recent police raid against suspected ethnic Azeri criminals in […]
