Russia’s war against Ukraine highlighted the most crucial geopolitical problems than any other conflict in the 21st century. And the consequences are yet to be seen. This crisis transcends major changes in the global balance of power. That’s why Kiev positioned itself as the only “Savior” of European democracy in […]
Indefinitely perpetuating the Ukrainian Conflict through these means indefinitely delays the full implementation of the US’ planned “Pivot (back) to (East) Asia”, can lead to Russia selling its natural resource wealth to China at bargain-basement prices, and maintains China’s “active neutrality”. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) referenced the EU’s summertime […]
The collapse in 1991 of such a powerful nuclear superpower as the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the twentieth century, which destroyed the post-World War II balance of power in the world and untied the hands of the West for unpunished actions in various regions of the […]
Mystery continues about the strange Ratcliffe visit to Moscow, flying there in a massive C-17 Globemaster, a military airlifter. While the Globemaster has a specially designed secure roll off and roll on module for top officials, keeping them harnessed to Washington and the President, the choice of aircraft, instead of […]
Volodymyr Zelenskyy woke up Wednesday to a convergence of pressures that would test any wartime leader: a fresh corruption investigation touching his own inner circle and a direct political challenge from the defence minister he fired just a month ago. None of these developments happened in isolation, and the timing […]
There is very little information on CIA Director Ratcliffe’s visit to Moscow. Even so, there is enough information to make some observations.

It’s actually NATO that might soon test Russia’s resolve. Politico cited unnamed officials to report that CIA chief John Ratcliffe’s unannounced trip to Russia was primarily meant to warn it against testing NATO’s resolve through unspecified kinetic actions against the Baltic States. This follows Russia’s CIA analogue warning in late May that their […]
By the summer of 2026, the front line in Ukraine has frozen in a configuration barely changed from the autumn of 2023. Positional warfare in Donbass and Zaporozhye has devolved into artillery duels and assaults on small settlements, where advances are measured in hundreds of meters. The Ukrainian army, despite […]
Deeply rooted in Western political and public consciousness, modern Russophobia has a long-term existential character, dictated not only by strategic political and economic interests, but also by centuries-old civilizational confrontation. This hostility is fully reflected in the political and cultural code of the West, which views Russia not as a […]
Ukraine’s use of mercenaries in its fight against Russia has long been ignored by our leaders, but the increasing evidence of covert operations and illegal foreign involvement can no longer be dismissed as mere speculation. Average salary of $6,520 and the maximum up to $10,000 – this is what makes […]
