The Ukraine Conflict — A Primer (Gonzalo Lira)
I like Gonzalo Lira’s videos A LOT, but today I am posting one without seeing it (I don’t have the time), so I cannot say that I approve (or disapprove) of what he says. If you disagree with X he says, please don’t blame me :-) That being said, I am pretty sure that he will be spot on. Andrei
Blog archiving and other issues
Dear friends, WOW! I truly did not expect such a tsunami of emails and offers of support. I can’t even begin to tell you how touched I am. I am especially touched by those who never contacted me in the past and who decided to reach out. All I can say is that I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Right now I don’t have the time
The War and the Future
By Batiushka for the Saker blog Foreword: Stop Living in the Past Since the historic Special Military Operation to liberate the peoples of the Ukraine from their US puppet tyrants in Kiev began on 24 February 2022, the post-1945 settlement has been over.

by Hugo Dionísio for the Saker blog Something is changing on Mount Olympus and it is leaving in tatters the union of tendencies connected to the U.S.-state falconry. To understand and predict the actions of the political elite that commands, through their transnational mandataries, our destinies, implies knowing what one of the most important US defense think tanks reflects and publishes. This research leads us to an entity that rarely
Greed, usury and the world
by Naresh Jotwani for the Saker blog The Saker recently posted an article (here) on the important subject of the quality of leadership in the US.

A panicked Empire tries to make Russia an ‘offer it can’t refuse’
By Pepe Escobar, originally posted at The Cradle, reposted with the author’s permission Realizing NATO’s war with Russia will likely end unfavorably, the US is test-driving an exit offer.

Those behind the Throne are never more dangerous than when they have their backs against the

An update about the blog
Dear friends Today rather than commenting on the risks of a major war in Europe, or even the entire northern hemisphere, I want to share a few things about the blog.

Douglas Macgregor – A Huge Offensive
The Sect
by Hugo Dionísio for the Saker blog Today, anyone who breaks out of the sphere “led” by the US and imprisoned inside G7, EU and NATO, and thus breaks out of the communicational, political-ideological and also cultural circuit constituted by the individualistic Anglo-Saxon and Judeo-Christian identitarianism, identified as what is called “the golden billion”, can only reach the conclusion that the privileged elite, that actually wields the power, is crystallized

Ukrainian Nationalism as a ‘Cold War Weapon’
By Cynthia Chung for the Saker blog The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) was founded in 1929 in East Galicia (located in Poland at the time) and called for an independent and ethnically homogenous Ukraine. From the beginning, the OUN had tensions between the young radical Galician students and the older military veteran leadership, who grew up in the more lenient Austro-Hungarian Empire.
