Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Scandal Is Turning Into A Rolling Coup
Zelensky might be next after Yermak was just taken down unless he complies with Trump’s demands for peace, in which case it’s not unforeseeable that he too could be formally implicated in this scandal as the catalyst for a US-backed regime change carried out in collusion with his domestic allies. […]
Were The Brits Behind Bloomberg’s Russian-US Leaks?
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service warned earlier the same day as Bloomberg’s report that the Brits are hellbent on discrediting Trump in order to undermine his latest peace efforts for resolving the conflict from which they profit. Bloomberg shared what it claimed to be the transcripts of calls between Trump’s Special Envoy […]
Why’d Kazakhstan Join The Abraham Accords When It Already Recognizes Israel?
Its leader likely did this as a personal favor for Trump so that he’d have his back if trouble ever arises with Russia such as if Kazakhstan one day tries to follow in Azerbaijan’s footsteps by having its armed forces conform to NATO standards. Many observers were surprised after Kazakhstan […]
Ukraine’s Corruption Scandal Might Pave The Way For Peace If It Takes Yermak Down
He’s Zelensky’s powerbroker so his downfall could undo the already shaky alliance between the armed forces, the oligarchs, the secret police, and parliament that keeps Zelensky in power, thus pressuring him into peace, especially if his warmongering grey cardinal is no longer pushing him to keep fighting.

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) reported that Armenia plans to replace low-cost […]
The Next Phase Of Germany’s Nord Stream Investigation Might Further Worsen Ties With Poland
Italy’s potential extradition of a Ukrainian suspect to Germany could lead to a highly publicized (and predictably politicized) trial that implicates Poland in this unprecedented attack on a fellow NATO ally. The Wall Street Journal recently published a detailed piece about “The Nord Stream Investigation That’s Splintering Europe Over Ukraine”. […]
How Far Will Ukraine’s Corruption Scandal Go?
The most that might happen is a cabinet reshuffle since the SBU has no reason to support regime change against the man who unprecedentedly empowered them, nor does Trump since Zelensky does what he demands, but this scandal still discredits him and his government more than they already are. A major […]
Trump Expects Orban To Go Along With Poland’s Vision For Central Europe
The sanctions exemption was extended as a quid pro quo for Hungary incorporating itself into Poland’s US-backed regional integration plans, which necessitates gradually ditching Russian energy. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban posted on X that “We secured full, unlimited exemption from sanctions on the TurkStream and Druzhba pipelines, guaranteeing uninterrupted and affordable […]
