The grand strategic goal is to restore the US’ central role in the global system, but if that’s not possible and it loses control of the Eastern Hemisphere to China, then Plan B is to retreat to the Western Hemisphere. Trump 2.0 just released its National Security Strategy (NSS). It […]
They’re meant to convey to Pakistan that India is and always will be Russia’s top partner in South Asia, so nobody there or elsewhere should imagine that the improvement of Russian-Pakistani relations is aimed against India in any way or will ever take such forms. Putin gave an extended interview to the […]
Had it not been downed over the Belarusian border city of Grodno and instead passed into Poland on the way to the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training, and Education Centre like its recovered flight data revealed to be its route, it could have sparked a crisis that ruined the renascent peace […]
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.

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.

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 […]
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. It was earlier […]
Lavrov did indeed inject some predictable polemics into his answers, which is his style as anyone who follows him knows, but those aren’t legitimate grounds not to publish his interview. Leading Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera scandalously refused to publish in full the exclusive written interview with Sergey Lavrov that the Russian […]
Armenia’s potential replacement of low-cost Russian grain with more expensive Ukrainian grain could worsen its already difficult financial situation and thus prompt Azerbaijan and/or Turkiye to propose a bailout in exchange for further sovereignty concessions in its strategic southern province of Syunik. Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) reported that Armenia plans to replace low-cost […]
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”. […]
