How the GCC is Benefitting from the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Military conflicts are a deadly – and costly – business, especially for those who fight them directly. But these conflicts also benefit others directly and indirectly. Those involved in the military-industrial complex benefit from both actual and potential conflicts. This has been the most famous story in the US and continues to be in the […]

Africa in the Light of SPIEF 2022
Moscow has in recent years been increasingly developing its cooperation with Africa in all directions.

US Murders Europe and Other Competitors with its Gas Weapon
As you know, the main driver of US geopolitics has long been the reallocation of the hydrocarbon market. For this purpose, wars, coups and other conflicts are staged. To somehow camouflage such explicit aspirations for global energy market conquest, Washington has in recent decades adopted the brand of “holy war on terrorism” in pursuit of […]

The True Cost of Europe’s Sanctions Upon Russia Are Now Being Revealed
Last Tuesday Russia’s Gasprom company announced that it was restricting the flow of natural gas via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany by 40% from previously planned levels.

The West Unsuccessfully Tries to Play the Algerian Card
It is now clear to all that the gas war the US and Europe unleashed against Russia, has been lost by the “collective West”. Moscow managed to push “gas for rubles”, forcing the EU to “reverse gear” by agreeing to Russia’s terms. European companies can now pay for Russian gas in rubles, which would not […]

Against the background of the current Japanese government’s clearly ill-conceived policies, which are causing ever greater misery for its people, criticism of Fumio Kishida’s cabinet has increased markedly, with his rating dropping by a further 4.6 percentage points to 56.9% over the month. This is evidenced, in particular, by published data from a survey conducted […]

America’s “Game-Changing” HIMARS: The Rest of the Story
The United States has announced that it will be sending yet another heavy weapon system to Ukraine amid its ongoing proxy war with Russia.

The War in Ukraine is Having Major Consequences for the World Economic System
The war in Ukraine is grinding to its inexorable conclusion with a Ukrainian defeat only a matter of time. Yet this truth has not penetrated the mind of Ukraine’s president who recently issued the absurd demand that the Ukrainians would talk peace, but only after the Russians had withdrawn from the Donbass and from Crimea.

Growing Rapport between Russia and Turkey
No matter how strange it may sound, Russia and Turkey are very similar, and this creates favorable conditions for their alignment. The history of both nations, the Turkic and Slavic world, is connected with Byzantium, and both have both Orthodox and Muslim roots, however, in different proportions. Even despite a history of more than three […]
