Only babes in the woods were surprised by the viral video of Western “statesmen” caught by journalists in the act of furtively concealing narcotics that they were sniffing in the train compartment whilst returning from Kiev, where they were hosted by fellow addict Zelensky. In more “based” times, which are today a memory of the distant past, the spectacle of high ranking political leaders casually taking drugs would have produced a scandal, leading inevitably to their dismissal from public office. That is because scandal is inherently a value based category. The possibility of provoking a scandal is bound up with…

Is Moldova going berserk? A “destabilisation” paranoia has gripped the authorities of this artificial country which is an incongruous combination of Russian and Romanian ethnic components, conjoined in a political union dictated not by choice but by geopolitical circumstances. The Moldovan government has been made to believe that it is the target of a destabilisation campaign orchestrated from Russia. To make the accusation more bizarre, it is alleged that for that purpose Russia is using citizens of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Belarus. The Zelensky regime in Kiev claims that its intelligence has uncovered the details of the “Russian…
Kaja Kallas’ delusional and laughably ill-timed announcement, made the day after Russia’s 9 May Victory Day triumph in Moscow, that European puppet leaders are planning to establish a “special tribunal” within the framework of the Council of Europe to judge Russia for “aggression” and other alleged crimes in Ukraine jogs some memories from the Hague. ICTY, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, is located there, as the new Tribunal Kallas has mentioned will also be. This writer had spent some of the most interesting years of his life there. An enduring memory is former Serbian and Yugoslav President…
To be more precise, it would be in a world operating on normal principles of decency. But from the perspective of the fact-challenged denizens of the collective West, we all suspect that it is not. As the 80th anniversary of the defeat of European Axis powers approaches, a notorious non-issue is gaining prominence. It is which country deserves the most credit and had sacrificed the most to achieve victory over the Axis that is soon to be commemorated. The mere raising of this preposterous question creates an artificial and for the poorly schooled citizens of Western countries thoroughly misleading historical “dilemma,”…
Using NATO and the EU as its primary tools, the collective West is currently waging an intense campaign to reconfigure the political space in Bosnia and Hercegovina. The first step in that process is to remove (or “decapitate” in their terminology) the leadership of the recalcitrant Republika Srpska, the Serb ethnic entity with Bosnia, which refuses to give up its constitutional autonomous attributes or to “come to heel,” in a phrase made famous in the 1990s during the war in Bosnia. That war, it may be recalled, was terminated by the signing in Paris of the Dayton Peace Agreement in December 1995. The…
The departure of the Roman Pontifex Maximus will lead to a re-examination of his legacy and, more broadly, intense speculation about the reversibility of Roman Catholic communion’s further decline, which was accelerated under his reign. Will the College of Cardinals, eighty percent of whom consist of Bergoglio’s carefully chosen and ideologically compatible appointees, have the objectivity and moral courage to select from their ranks as his successor anyone, if such there be, who is not a doctrinal replica of the man to whom they owed their berettas? The path to the enthronement of Bergoglio is now, in retrospect, plain to…
Frontline news has it that very soon the city of Konstantinovka (or Konstantinyvka, as it was ridiculously renamed by the Banderites, like so many other geographical locales, including Kiev, in a puerile attempt to disguise their historically Russian identity) will soon be under the control of Russian forces. That is good news for the inhabitants of Konstantinovka, but it is unpleasant news for SBU, the Ukrainian state security service. Konstantinovka’s imminent liberation means that SBU’s September 6 2023 false flag operation, which cost the lives of at least seventeen civilians in an attempt to pin on Russians the blame for…
Only the incurably naïve were shocked by the brazen and deliberate rigging of the French Presidential elections. Granted, the outrageous infringement of collective West’s verbally proclaimed democratic electoral canons in Romania, which took place shortly before, could have been taken by alert observers as a reliable signal of what might imminently occur in other precincts of the “European garden.” Blinded by cultural racism however some of them might have mistaken electoral rigging in Romania, a recently acquired patch of that garden, as a sui generis case, entirely attributable to Balkan primitivism. But they would have overlooked conveniently the now well established fact that…
Hungary won’t go to war against Croatia in support of Serbia, thus de facto defecting from NATO with all the cascading consequences that this would entail, including a possible NATO invasion Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic drew regional attention when he praised his country’s newly signed military roadmap with Hungary for “coming closer to a Hungarian-Serbian alliance.” The immediate backdrop concerns mid-March’s joint defense declaration between Croatia, Albania, and Kosovo. All three have a recent history of conflict with Serbia, Belgrade still claims what it regards as its rogue NATO-occupied Autonomous Provine of Kosovo & Metohija, and there’s a new round of uncertainty in Bosnia. The de…
The International Criminal Court at the Hague has been on an indictment spree lately. We still recall vividly the Court’s bold reinterpretation of “crime against humanity” to encompass the rescue and sheltering on Russian territory of children and young adults from the Donbas. What impressed most normal observers as a praiseworthy wartime humanitarian gesture par excellence was the pretext for probably the most preposterous of the politically motivated indictments that the ICC had ever issued. The most recent of such indictments, the illegal abduction and forced transfer to the Hague of the former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, was another high…
