The time between now and the inauguration of Donald Trump as United States President on Jan. 20 is one of the most dangerous periods in modern history. Those who are actually running the Biden Administration have launched a hair-raising escalation of the conflict with Russia, which they apparently plan to present to the incoming Trump Administration as an irreversible fait […]

Russian President Putin delivered a stark assessment of the strategic situation on Nov. 21 in a video address to the nation, following the attacks launched on military facilities inside Russian territory with the use of six U.S. ATACMS missiles on Nov. 19, and of British Storm Shadow and U.S. HIMARS systems on Nov. 21. In response, the Russian armed forces […]

The rapid escalation of tensions with Russia was the main topic on the Zoom call of the International Peace Coalition (IPC), on Nov. 22. The session was addressed by several prominent experts in military and intelligence affairs, including VIPS members Larry Johnson and Ray McGovern, nuclear arms specialist Steven Starr, and former UN weapons inspector and anti-war activist Scott Ritter, […]

Donald Trump’s choice for Treasury Secretary highlights a major problem of the incoming administration: economic incompetence. Actually, the choice of Scott Bessent is worse than that, given his pedigree as finance vulture and associate of George Soros. Even Elon Musk, whose budget-cutting approach is no good, had warned Trump not to pick Bessent. The message it sends is that Trump […]

Germany must have the […]

In an exclusive interview published in EIR magazine Nr. 46, Italian three-star General Fabio Mini (ret.) exposes the penetration of NATO by Soviet-style propaganda, exemplified by the “black lists” published, under NATO auspices, by the Kyiv-based Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) and Center for Defense Reforms. The Center for Defense Reforms released on Oct. 21 a report to the “Freedom […]

On November 21, the Pre-Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court unanimously issued two decisions: it rejected challenges by the State of Israel brought under articles 18 and 19 of the Rome Statute and issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister until very recently, Yoav Gallant, as well as against Hamas commander, Mohammed […]

Presidents Xi Jinping and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva used the Chinese President’s state visit to Brazil Nov. 20 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of bilateral relations by mapping out plans for even greater cooperation over next 50 years. Xi called their meetings “very productive,” and spoke of 50 “golden years” to come, while Lula told Brazilians afterwards that the […]

The decision reportedly taken by a lame duck President Biden to allow Ukraine to use ATACMS ballistic missiles for strikes into Russian territory, initially limited to the Kursk region, means the world may be only days away from an unstoppable escalation. Since such tactical missile systems, just like the German Taurus and the British Storm Shadow, cannot be operated by […]
