The Warfare in West Asia is anything but over, despite the proclamations of Western Media that "democracy" is now coming to Syria. Israel's strategic long-term position just changed dramatically and over-extending itself now while making new enemies will only create more trouble in the long-run. Dr. Glenn Diesen is a professor at the University of Southeast Norway and an associate editor at the Jo...

US neocons have had Iran on their regime change and war planning list for 50 years. Now they are in the final preparation for the great push to make war all but inevitable for the incoming Trump administration. The warmongers are working in over-drive Today I‘m talking to the journalist James Carden, and Colonol Douglas Macgregor, the CEO of Our Country our Choice. Aritcle by Carden and Macgregor:...

[2 of 2] The West's visceral hate for all things Russian is leading the US and Europe into dangerous and self-defeating foreign policies from which they will not be able to recover unless a fundamental rethinking of Eurasian policies takes place. This is the second part of an interview with Mr. Graham Fuller, a former CIA intelligence officer and geostrategist.

[1 of 2] The Jihadist take-over of Syria is first and foremost a tragedy for the people of Syria who might be in for the fate of Libya. But for Russia this is an entirely different thing. Unlike Washington, Moscow does not try to over-extend and fight for 20 years for a lost cause. Rather, it lets its enemies saw the seeds of their own future defeat. If one thing is clear by now, it's that Al-Qaed...

Update on Syria and the geopolitics of West Asia with Ambassador Chas Freeman. Ambassador Freeman served as US Assistant Secretary of Defense from 1993-94, and as U. S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia (89–92), handling the fallout of the Gulf War. He was the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs during the historic U.S. mediation of Namibian independence, And he was Richard...

In some circles, it has become common place to view BRICS as an anti-western alliance. But that is not the nature of this club. BRICS is non-western, not anti-western. And that's the fundament on which its cooperative power is built. Listen to Professor Anuradha Chenoy explain the fundamental difference as well as the pillars of the new financial system the group is working on. Anuradha Chenoy is...

Don't be fooled. The most recent protests in Tbilisi are about as organic as a BigMac. The neocon factions inside the Georgian political process (and outside as well) are trying desperately to undo the results of the October 26 election in the country, resorting even to the Maidan play-book of a decade ago. However, the situation in Georgia is quite different now from what it was in Ukraine. While...

The power dynamics in West Asia are shifting away from US Empire as we speak, and mainstream media barely covers it. Saudi Arabia and Iran have gone from a cold detente to a pragmatic entente that will completely change the region, and there is nothing the US, Isreal or Europe can do about it. It is not ideology that is driving this change, but cold pragmatism combined with the necessities of the...

Even committed US veterans can't stand the empty rhetoric of the Washington neocon elite anymore. Ukraine is a text-book example for a provoked war and the need for deescalation has never been bigger, but US imperialism stands in the way of that. Listen to the straight forward analysis of David T. Pyne, a former US army officer who dismantles the war-narrative his country's pro-war governm...

n his new book "The Ukraine War and the Eurasian World Order", Professor Glenn Diesen argues compellingly that the way the world used to work not only for the past century, but for the past 500 years is over and done with. From here on, the global system will be much more dynamic, multi-polar, and much more complex. Professor Diesen also shows how Ukraine has been a pawn in the hands of NATO warmo...

We just witnessed one of the biggest changes in middle eastern (or west asian) geopolitics in decades. Iran's highly targeted attack on Israel and the signalling towards the other Arab states, combined with its incredible diplomacy, allowed Tehran to brake free from US strangle-hold. This talk was recorded only hours before Israel's (limited) counter attack on Iran, in the morning hours of...

"Humanitarian Interventions" are the greatest and most deadly scam of our age. In the name of "doing good" and "protecting the innocent" NATO has killed more people than any supposed dictator or rogue regime could ever have even dreamed of. The level of carnage the western alliance has unleashed on civilian populations in their very name is beyond the wildest imaginat...

Neoconservatism is an insanely brutal and blood thirsty ideology. But how did this mad and monstrous mindset take over an entire nation that prides itself on being the pinnacle of humanistic values? Well, it wasn't even difficult. Professor David N. Gibbs tells us the origin story of the devils that are the neocons. Dr. David N. Gibbs is Professor of History at Arizona University. He wrote num...

What’s Down-Under up to in Geopolitics? Will you be safe there from the looming Third World War there? Well, not exactly. Turns out, Canberra has no better idea than to offer itself on a silver platter as a loyal servant to US military ambitions. Is Australia risking everything for the sake of US empire? Today I'm talking to Dr. Hugh White, an emeritus Professor of Strategic Studies at Austral...

All necessary measures have been on the table for a long time. There is no need for a new international process but for concrete implementation under international leadership. The two conflicting parties are unable to find a solution on their own. The leadership should unquestionably rest in the hands of the United Nations, which should decide, as a first concrete step, to admit the state of Pales...

Firtz Edlinger interviews Jeffrey Sachs on the horrific crimes against the Palestinians. Sachs explains his peace plan, the root cause of the conflict and the responsibility of the United States in enabling the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza strip. All necessary measures have been on the table for a long time. There is no need for a new international process but for concrete implementation under int...

Well, this is it. The end of the road is in plain sight for everyone to see. But the driver is still hitting that gas pedal as if there was no tomorrow. The game of chicken is on, but this is one that the West cannot win. The rise of China is the greatest existential threat to the USA in its history not because of any security, economic, or epistemic dangers, but purely because it invalidates the...

NATO is a criminal organisation according to its own charter and it‘s belligerent ideology is build on a pile of ideological nonsense. Listen to Dr. Jan Oberg, a prolific and outspoken Danish conflict researcher. In this straight forward talk, Dr. Oberg completely obliterates both NATO and the Collective West war-derranged hypocrisy. Dr. Oberg holds a PhD in sociology from Lund University and an h...

The lie that Ukraine is defending democracy or standing up for "western values" has never been weaker. But now we are getting reports that not just journalistic publications critical of the Kiev-Regime are getting purged, ANYONE who dares to utter opinions not in line with the regime is getting persecuted, even for private conversations. Society is under total surveillance. I’m talking t...

The political situation inside Taiwan is heating up and the USA is doing its utmost to make sure it can provoke China into an attack on Taiwan at a time of its choosing. But what is the situation really like and how do the Taiwanese see their future with their family members on the other side of the Taiwan Strate? After all, even the ruling government in Taipei still calls itself the "Republi...

The provocations from Washington just never stop. Be it Nancy Pelosi visiting Taipei or US military personell stationed on some of Taiwan's closest Islands to mainland China, the US is upping its game to make sure China is provoked into a corner form which only war can result. Donald Trump just staffed his cabinet with people who want to bring peace to Europe to focus all their warfare on Asia...

While the media is portraying the cease-fire deal between Hama and Isreal as a great breakthrough and seems more concerned with who brokered it, Biden or Trump, the real story is a much darker one. Not only are the chances for the cease-fire to bring "peace" to the devastated Gaza Strip extremely slim, it also heralds in a new phase in Israel's quest to burn its entire neighborhood a...

[Part 1 of 2] After Georgia has expressed time and again that it wants to be part of the West and wants the best possible relations with the EU. Leaders in Brussels and Washington are now openly debating putting the entire country under sanctions for the crime of not wanting to elect more hawkish leaders on Russia. Wanting a good relationship with the West is not enough. You also have to be on boa...
