Speech at the 71st General Assembly in New York, Sept. 23, 2016
Russian election results in two words: We Won! That’s it. “Bloody revolution” had been canceled. In May I posted an article, Waiting for Yalta – 2, or What the Kerry-Lavrov pact brings to the table. In accidence with the new principles of the new world. ” Color revolutions” will not be allowed. It doesn’t mean that an illegitimate government of the US won’t stop plotting them. We simply can’t let

This time, it is an American Jew
Very interesting article from the New Slav Media (NSM) website Does US Play NATO and UN Cards Against Russia? NSM remarks: For me something wrong is going on behind the doors of US and UN. I read many times that two ways were taken under serious consideration to achieve world government/domination – 1) dissolving UN and creating sort of new League of Democracies (a’la McCain), 2) or through UN takeover.

PODGORICA, Montenegro, July 19–Russia will veto any UN Security Council resolution on Kosovo that is unacceptable to Serbia, a senior Russian official said Thursday.
