The messages are coming in loud and clear today – from the crashing pound, to repudiation of establishment governments in Italy, Sweden and more to come, to Hungarian Prime Minister Orban’s call to end the Sanctions War and do so pronto. So let’s be clear:...
What In the Hell Was Washington Thinking?
What in the hell were those bloody-minded Washington/NATO neocons thinking? At any time in the last nine months they could have had a diplomatic settlement with Russia that would have: Avoided/ended the war in Ukraine, thereby saving tens of thousands of Ukrainian...
Europe’s Coming Winter From Hell: Thanks for Your Sanctions War, Washington!
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...

Sleepy Joe’s $33 Billion Abomination

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...
