STRATEGIC ALERT Service

After eight months of war in the federal state of Tigray, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced a unilateral ceasefire, following a routing of government forces from the Tigray capital of Mekelle. While Abiy claimed this was not a defeat, he admitted that his government could not win given the popular support for Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and the […]

The numerous celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party have highlighted, and understandably so, the tremendous progress China has achieved over the decades in multiple areas. President Xi Jinping has personally stressed that the Chinese people will never again allow “outside forces” to oppress them, or stop their development. Certainly, one of the country’s […]

In a military provocation which former British Ambassador Craig Murray described as “evidence of lunacy,” the HMS Defender, a British navy destroyer, entered Russian territorial waters in the Black Sea, near Cape Fiolent, at 11:52 AM on June 23. The Russian Black Sea fleet immediately radioed a warning. After waiting approximately 15 minutes for a response, and receiving none, a […]

In the early morning hours of June 25, the Franco-German proposal for an EU summit with Russian President Putin was shot down, mainly by Poland and the Baltic countries. The proposal had just been made public on June 23, apparently to the surprise of most of the other EU member states. Angela Merkel explained the next day, in a speech […]

The EU leaders’ statement is all the more regrettable as it came only three days after the German weekly Die Zeit published an article by President Putin on the 80th anniversary of the Nazi German attack against the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941. In the article, the Russian President stressed that Russia is “open, despite the past”, for economic, […]

EIR Economics editor Paul Gallagher has drawn an efficient parallel between the strategies implemented by Hitler’s Finance Minister Hjalmar Schacht and the current scheme of central bankers known as the “Great Reset”. At the August 2019 yearly meeting of central bankers at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that scheme was again discussed as a means of bringing about a “regime change” in […]

The month of July in China is devoted to celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party. Of course, the system of “socialism with Chinese characteristics” is very different from western systems, but it is terribly short-sighted to arrogantly dismiss its accomplishments, and terribly stupid to try and force it into the Anglo-American “rules-based order”. The […]

Political activists, together with scientists, economists, farmers, public health professionals, and retired military and intelligence officers came together in the June 26-27 International Schiller Institute Conference to analyze the existential crisis facing mankind today, and deliberate on the means required to mobilize the world behind a new paradigm, free of geopolitics and Malthusianism, and based on “peace through de velopment.” […]

In the days leading to the June 16 summit between Presidents Biden and Putin, one did not have to be a pessimist to believe that a train wreck was coming. The language directed against Russia from the U.S. side, especially from the Secretary of State Blinken and the President himself, continued the vilification of Vladimir Putin and the characterization of […]

Russophobes in the West must have been shocked and dismayed to hear that the “Presidential Joint Statement on Strategic Stability” issued by Presidents Biden and Putin after their summit, declares: “Today, we reaffirm the principle that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.” That is a clear and rational rejection of the many strategic papers circulating […]
