Europe’s impending depression is not to be discounted in terms of its relevance to this side of the Atlantic pond. Since the turn of the century, US exports to the European Union have soared from $12.3 billion per month to $30.4 billion. That latter amounts to $365...
Nancy Pelosi’s Utterly Reckless Election-Season Gambit
We don’t know how it could have been any clearer than this warning from Chicom mouthpiece and ultra-hawk, Hu Xijin. Prior to America’s other senile leader putting herself in harms’ way by touching down in Taiwan today, Xijin let loose a volley of histrionics that left...
Washington’s Sanctions War Kneecaps the West, Not Russia
Washington’s cowardly proxy war against Russia reached a new level of absurdity over the weekend. To wit, the G-7 knuckleheads declared an embargo on imports of Russia-sourced gold and forced Russia into technical default on its foreign debts by forbidding US...
Perpetual Debt, Perpetual War
It’s always useful to visit the museum in order to offset the recency bias that distorts perceptions of current realities. In the great scheme of things, the picture below is admittedly not that ancient – from just 42 years ago. But it is nevertheless a museum...
The Washington GOP: War-Besotted Sucklers on the Public Teat
What’s wrong with these people?! We are referring, of course, to Mitch McConnell & Co’s ostentatious visit to Kiev this weekend. With the sad-sack Senate Republican leadership in tow, the bejowled political hack who leads the ostensible "opposition"...

NATO Put Ukraine on the Path to Partition
(read part 1) The gist of our two-part series is this: Unlike Ford automobiles, Ukraine was not "Built to Last!" The current CIA director, William J Burns, actually recognized the eventual crackup of Ukraine back in 2008, when he served as U.S. ambassador to...
In Praise of Partition
Sometimes a few words are worth a thousand pictures – at least when it comes to Ukraine. Here’s one of them: The Ukrainian leader said that his country hadn’t been willing to cede territory from the beginning. "Had we been willing to give up our territory, there...
The Warfare State’s Infinitely Mendacious Echo Chamber
It all starts with the number $813 billion, the Biden national defense budget for FY 2023. That number is so hideously – nay, grotesquely – large that it is the inherent fount of the war fevers, Russophobia and sweeping disinformation that now gushes from...
Washington Is Delirious With War Fever For No Reason of Homeland Security
Economic, social and political dangers abound. That’s because Washington and its subservient mainstream media are delirious with war fever like at no time in the last seven decades. The resulting reckless pursuit of an unhinged Sanctions War against Russia poses...
