STRATEGIC ALERT Service

The March 18 phone call between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump has opened the door to a perspective that has not existed for at least the last 35 years. According to the very preliminary readouts that were available before this issue of our newsletter went to bed, many topics were discussed between the two leaders, which, if realized, could […]

With each passing day, it becomes clearer that the group of European nations led by Great Britain does not want to the war in Ukraine to end. That is the only purpose of the “coalition of the willing”, which British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron are trying to organize under the Orwellian name of a “peacekeeping […]

In a blunt statement released on March 10, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) denounced Great Britain’s scheme to pit the United States and Russia against one another as well as its manipulations to destroy any dialogue between the two countries. The SVR wrote that “the British leadership sees a threat to its interests in the promotion of dialogue between the […]

Two months after the inauguration of Donald Trump, his administration has taken some notable steps to dismantle intelligence networks and government agencies involved in covert actions at home and abroad. Many of them have been instrumental in launching operations against Trump personally, and/or in fomenting unrest and regime-change policies throughout the world. In that respect, their loss of power and […]

After significant wheeling and dealing, the ad hoc alliance struck among the CDU, the SPD and the Greens managed to overcome the obstacles to rushing a huge rearmament package through the current Bundestag, in which they still have the two-thirds majority required to change the Constitutional provision mandating the “debt brake”.

In a shocking display of contempt of democratic principles in the European Union, the Constitutional Court of Romania upheld on March 11 the decision to ban the candidacy of opposition leader Calin Georgescu in the presidential elections. Georgescu had appealed to the Court after the Electoral Commission banned his candidacy on March 9, arguing that he does not recognize “democratic […]

The Shanghai-Chancay shipping route through the beautiful modern deepwater port which China’s COSCO Shipping built at the Chancay Port near Lima, became fully operational on Dec. 18, 2024 (cf. SAS 47/24). It is the most important Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project yet in the Western Hemisphere. Two voyages back-and-forth between Shanghai and Chancay now take place weekly, cutting the shipping […]

The volume of cryptocurrencies literally doubled in 2024, as they have become a common item in the balance sheets of funds and even banks. Although Bitcoin and co. are no currencies, but a sheer speculative object similar to the famous tulip bulbs in 17th Century Holland – or worse, since they are totally immaterial, – the introduction of so-called “stable […]

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, released a statement March 8, for immediate and widespread international circulation and endorsement. Her appeal denounces Europe’s “elites” for pursuing the failed policies of the past decades, rather than having the courage to reflect on their mistakes and correct them. However, an alternative policy is readily available, she shows. The European Union (EU) […]

In a strategic situation largely determined for the moment by the Trump Administration in Washington, Western European leaders are terrified that the emergence of a “multipolar” alliance centered around the United States and Russia, which could also include China, will spell the end of trans-Atlantic dominance in strategic and economic affairs.
