It would be premature to conclude that their prior implied talks about a “New Détente”, or a series of mutual compromises across multiple domains aimed at reaching a “new normal” in their ties, are back on track. Too much has happened since February’s balloon incident derailed that grand strategic trajectory, but a moderate series of mutual compromises is indeed possible. Instead of resolving their rivalry, however, they’d only serve to better manage it. Presidents Xi and Biden met for the first time in a year on Wednesday at the Asia-Pacific Economic Conference (APEC) in San Francisco. Their get-together took place as the…

As the late Tatiana Gracheva never tired of pointing out, the key component in the collective West’s battle plan is cultural and spiritual fragmentation of its perceived Russian adversary. Once the divisive groundwork had been successfully laid, the expectation is that political disintegration, creating opportunities for plunder on an epic scale, would follow as a matter of course. The conflict in Ukraine raises the practical question of how realistic such expectations actually are. That question is very serious. We would contend that more likely than not the indicated expectation is based on a colossal misreading of the target’s mentality and on…
The decline of the West is becoming increasingly evident. It is proceeding apace, and not just in terms of its steadily decreasing geopolitical influence and power of attraction. For those who live in that once privileged part of the world one of the most salient proofs of its decline is the implosion of its system of values, even if in practical application their faithful observance had always been imperfect and had left much to be desired. The sustained attack in the contemporary West on freedom of expression, until quite recently the sacrosanct principle of the liberty the West claimed to…
It had hitherto been the realm of the Alt-Media Community, which the Mainstream Media discredits as so-called “Russian propaganda”, to speculate about an impending mutiny or military coup prior to Time Magazine’s and The Economist’s articles. After those two’s pieces, however, average Westerners and their policymakers alike can now discuss these scenarios without fear of being smeared. The congressional dysfunction of the past month coupled with the Israeli-Hamas war that broke out at the same time created the perfect storm from Ukraine’s perspective since it resulted in the abrupt cut-off of aid in parallel with its top patron’s reprioritization of the self-professed…
Ukraine sought to ethnically cleanse Donbass’ indigenous Russian population and genocide those who remained had it reconquered that region, which is what Israel also appears interested in doing to Gaza, but Kiev’s strategic role is conceptualized by the West as broader than Tel Aviv’s. Whereas Israel is fighting over a small strip of territory in pursuit of narrow Western geopolitical interests, Ukraine is utilized by the West for much more far-reaching civilizational-imperialist ones. The latest Israeli-Hamas war has exposed Western hypocrisy in more ways than one. It was earlier observed that “The West’s Double Standards Towards Israel & Ukraine Discredited It In…
It is impossible to overestimate the significance of this Declaration. In light of the support which the criminal regime, acting illegitimately in the name of the Serbian people, is lending to violators in Palestine not just of international legal principles but – even more importantly of the fundamental principles of morality and humane conduct – this Declaration is endowed with a profound legal and moral significance. The text speaks for itself and unerringly reflects the moral position of the Serbian people with regard to the destruction, deliberate privation, and slaughter of the civilian population of Gaza. With regard to the…
The very opportune arrest several days ago in Tbilisi, Georgia, of four operatives of the notorious Serbian condottieri outfit Otpor roughly coincides with the 23rd anniversary of Serbia’s falling into globalist clutches. That occurred on 5 October 2000, largely as a result of subversion by the paid agents of the same infamous organisation. Serbia has not recovered to this day from the destructive consequences of that color revolution, orchestrated and financed by Western intelligence agencies which used their Otpor hirelings as a battering ram and field agents. A wave of color revolutions followed the wildly successful laboratory experiment performed in…
The unhinged Monty Python hermaphrodite Sarah Ashton Cirillo (real name Michael John Cirillo) got its comeuppance. Famous pranksters Vovan and Lexus could not resist the temptation of making a complete fool of this poor ignorant nitwit (see here, Part I, and here, Part II). Once again they have performed a public service and as usual have done a brilliant job of it. Vovan and Lexus’ conversation with Cirillo is interesting on several levels. The main takeaways of the prankster interview are AFU “sergeant” Cirillo’s affirmations that Russians are “not human” and that the West does not fully understand the…
Sane and decent people everywhere reacted with indignation to the stupid and offensive video of the scowl-faced Ukrainian Armed Forces spokesperson haranguing publicly for the “hunting down” of journalists who question the righteousness of the Neo-Nazi regime in Kiev. The individual in question went on to threaten other forms of harsh and lethal reprisal against anybody who dared withhold support for the Kiev regime’s disastrous war and the auto-genocide resulting from the application of its catastrophic military and political “strategies.” Be it noted that in light of the “Myrotvorets” [Peacemaker] international kill list officially operated by the Ukrainian authorities, to…
The analysis argues that his new attitude is because some Western officials are likely already holding unofficial talks with Russia Zelensky’s characteristic cockiness was conspicuously absent from his latest interview with The Economist. He instead came off as overly defensive, most likely because he finally realized that the scale, scope, and pace of his Western patrons’ multidimensional aid can’t continue indefinitely. What follows are the pertinent highlights from his interview that point to this change of attitude, which will then be analyzed to help observers get a better sense of where the NATO-Russian proxy war might be headed. ———- * Zelensky is walking back expectations…
