Sergey Lavrov didn’t hedge. He didn’t soften. He lit the match and let it burn. “In Anchorage, we accepted the United States’ proposal.” And now, he says, Washington is no longer prepared to implement what it itself put on the table — not on Ukraine, not on expanded...
An NGO bankrolled 47 percent by the German federal government and 26 percent by the EU is now suing X for “access” to Hungary’s election data. They dress it up as transparency. It’s nothing of the sort. This is institutionalized surveillance masquerading as democracy...
History doesn’t quite repeat itself, but it does upgrade its hardware. As Washington’s posture toward Havana hardens once again, the real question is no longer whether pressure escalates, but how and when. Cuba has lived under American coercion for over six decades....
For three decades, Washington insisted that internal destabilization was not an act of war when applied abroad. It called it “civil society.” It is now discovering that precedents don’t ask permission to come home — and that shock is already visible on Minnesota’s...
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz now admits that “parts of Germany’s economy are in very critical condition” and that his government “hasn’t done enough.” That phrasing is an evasion. Germany did not drift into this collapse. The numbers were visible in real time. The...
Here we are watching the rules (for thee but not me) based order perform its favorite magic trick, of turning performative flexing of might into virtue by simply narrating it as law. The United States has kidnapped Venezuela’s sitting president, Nicolás Maduro, along...
Gold at $4,546 an ounce. Silver printing $79+, with a peak around $80 in the last ten days. That isn’t a metals rally blip. It’s the sound of the market dragging a metal detector across the foundation of the post-WWII order and hearing a hollow thud. Because this is...
When a prime minister tells her own staff to rest because next year will be much worse, it is not gallows humor. It is not exhaustion speaking. It is a slip of the mask, the kind of remark leaders make only when the internal forecasts no longer align with the...
From the podium, it’s Churchillian thunder: prepare for war, deter Russia, stand tall, lead the free world. Back in the engine room, it’s Whitehall with a calculator, sweating through its suit because the numbers simply don’t work. The Financial Times reports...
Western headlines are screaming that Ukraine has “encircled” Kupyansk city… a glorified town, selling it as a nightmare for Moscow. But this is not a battlefield report. It is narrative management, timed precisely to negotiations in Berlin. Kupyansk is not Stalingrad....
Italy’s decision to stand with Belgium against the confiscation of Russian sovereign assets is not a diplomatic footnote. It is a moment of clarity breaking through the fog of performative morality that has engulfed Brussels. Strip away the slogans and the truth is...
The great farce of late-imperial Europe is that every time Brussels stumbles into another historic blunder of its own making, it immediately searches for a foreign hand to blame. And so the EU’s court chronicler, Politico, delivers its latest fever dream: that...
When you authorize naval-drone terrorism against Russian civilian oil tankers in the Black Sea, don’t whine when Moscow redraws the coastline. You wanted escalation? Fine. Now watch your proxy lose Odessa, and with it access to the Black Sea. Washington is hunting for...
Europe’s “peace plan” is pure fan fiction: unlimited Ukrainian army, NATO doors wide open, foreign troops invited in, sanctions snapped on and off like Christmas lights — and not one inch of territory ceded. In other words, the exact blueprint that created the war…...
