THE SAKER—The Trump Administration’s “strategy” (I am being very kind here) is to stir up as many conflicts in as many places of our planet as possible. The Empire thrives only on chaos and violence. The Russian response is the exact opposite: to try as best as can be to stop wars, defuse conflicts and create, if not peace, at least a situation of non-violence.

CRAIG MURRAY—We are currently in some sort of crisis of capitalism, as the concentration of wealth continues apace and the general population of western countries increasingly feel insecure, exploited and alienated.

Trump’s Plan B for Syria: Occupation and Intimidation
19 minutes readMIKE WHITNEY—The objective of forward deterrence is not to win the war, but to prevent the enemy from winning.
