How America Is Crushing Europe
America creates, imposes, and enforces the sanctions against Russia, which are forcing up energy-prices in Europe, and are thereby driving Europe’s corporations to move to America, where taxes, safety-and-environmental regulations, and the rights of labor, are far lower, and so profits will be far higher for the investors. Furthermore, America […]
Zelensky Told Americans That His Country Should Be More Important To Them Than Their Own
It’s understandable why people would be offended by a foreign leader telling them to place his country’s interests above their own and to not care about inflation. It’s beyond disrespectful after they’ve already suffered enough to help him. Zelensky isn’t ever happy, however, unless he hears about more wealth being […]
Why The EU Could End Within A Year
Germany, which has been high-and-mighty within the European Union and has imposed austerity against weaker European economies such as in Greece, Spain, Italy, and Portugal, is now demanding that other EU member nations bail Germans out of what will soon inevitably be an energy-emergency that results from Germany’s having complied […]
Post-American World, Post-Ukrainian Geopolitics (II)
Part I Fourth. Taking into account these cultural and civilizational factors means turning to the philosophy of postmodernism (M. Foucault, J. Derrida, J. Baudrillard, J. Agamben, etc.). Not to mention the fact that they emerged on the American material and were a reaction of leftist European (mainly French) political thought […]
Russia Teaches Europe ABC Of Gas Trade
The unthinkable is happening for the second time in five months: Russian gas giant Gazprom writes to German gas companies announcing force majeure effective from June 14, exonerating it from any compensation for shortfalls since then. The first time shock and awe appeared in German-Russian relations this year was on […]
Ukraine Peace Talks In The Cards?
Finance ministers are the pangolins in the world of international diplomacy, solitary animals and predatory, unlike foreign ministers who are like glowworms, mesmerising and gorgeous animals that create light through their tail. While the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken attending G20 foreign ministers meeting in Bali a week ago […]
Lithuania’s Failed Blockade Of Kaliningrad Is A Defeat For The US
Nevertheless, no one should fall under the false assumption that this development implies a trans-Atlantic rift between the EU and the US since nothing of the sort is unfolding. Rather, what happened was that the EU unexpectedly pushed back against the US after the latter overstepped by provoking a major […]
Japan’s Kishida Steps On Russian Oil Slick
The simmering tensions between Moscow and Japan during the past 4-month period of the war in Ukraine surged when the Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolay Patrushev sounded the warning at a meeting on national security in Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East on Tuesday that Japan is ramping […]
The Economic Miracle Of Germany Ended In Ukraine
In just 200 days as chancellor Olaf Scholz has broken what his predecessors Gerhard Schroeder and Angela Merkel had been building for thirty years. The German economy has collapsed like a card tower. Terrifying statistics on the reduction of the GDP, industrial production, a drop in real incomes and a […]
Hoisted By Their Own Petard: Wimbledon’s Russian Player Ban
It was, all and all, an odd spectacle. The Ladies’ Singles victor for Wimbledon 2022 had all the credentials that would have otherwise guaranteed her barring. Being Russian-born, news outlets in Britain walked gingerly around The All England Club’s decision to ban Russian players yet permit Elena Rybakina to play. […]
EU Economies Are Down On Their Knees
On July 1 at the White House, US President Joe Biden made a startling disclosure that “the idea we’re going to be able to click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline, is not likely in the near term.” American gas exporters have positioned themselves accordingly to fill the […]
