According to John Mearsheimer, who got the start right — John Mearsheimer is an imperial scholar who predicted the Ukraine War years ago (along with many others from within Empire itself). I call him imperial because he argues not that American warmongering is bad but that it should be done better. But even an imperial clock is right twice a…

Grim Reaper files an official complaint against Putin and orders him to ‘cease and desist’ — Alexander “Lucky” Lukashenko is not so lucky these days. With his fate tied to the king of losers, and the Grim Reaper wannabe, Vladimir Putin, the 7s that were coming up for him since 1994 are no longer resulting in big payouts. As a matter of unfortunate fact for the…

Anyone who tells you they know what is going on is full of it — A place on the Ukraine Russia border named Belgorod apparently was invaded last week by a group of Russian dissidents fighting for Ukraine. Belgorod is in Russia and there are multiple military support locations there. Ammo dumps, staging areas, etc. How do I know this? To be honest, I don’t…

NATO’s newest member is a huge boost to the alliance — Finland was not a member of NATO until April this year, but that did not stop them from playing a part in protecting Europe against Russia’s decades long western invasion. Finland, a member of the 50 nation Ukraine defense contact group, has a long and brutal history with Russia. Since…

For people like myself who have long dismissed Lindsay Graham as a pale copy of a human being, it was a surprise to hear that the Russian Interior Ministry issued an arrest warrant for him. The arrest warrant follows comments he made during his trip to Ukraine. “Russians are dying,”…

Putin is going to lose this war, and Russia will break up in a turmoil of political movements and regional ethnic entities. His replacement is even lurking in the hallways of the Kremlin, private army at hand. Those forecasts — ludicrous a year ago - seem to be on fairly…

The Myth of Russian Military Incompetence — Continued… — To start with, the use of gas, nuclear weapons, and the mass bombing of cities such as the bombing of Dresden, (and) the carpet bombing of North Vietnam is a concept known as ‘total war’ or the concept of ‘total politics’. This warfare was reintroduced in the Napoleonic period and…

President of Russia Vladimir Putin examined a XVI century French map a week ago and “failed to notice Ukraine”, though it was depicted on the map. This is not the first time Putin has delved into history. Over a year ago, he wrote an article titled “On the Historical Unity…

I often argue that Russia is the last colonial empire, which was never properly de-colonised as it collapses and resurges in waves — For example, in 1917, the empire shrank by 3.6 percent in size. In 1945, it had re-emerged. In 1989 and then in 1991, it went through a massive collapse. The empire lost more than 40 percent of its territory. The empire faces nothing short of total collapse given the current…
