The truth will out.
Egon von Greyerz and Matthew Piepenburg open 2023 with an informal yet blunt look at the twin nuclear risks of: 1) a rising geopolitical conflict in the backdrop of 2) an equally rising global debt crisis. Both trends, and all that follows in their wake, point naturally toward an exploding gold market.
by Doug Casey via International Man As some of you know, I’m an aficionado of ancient history. I thought it might be worthwhile to discuss what happened to Rome and based on that, what’s likely to happen to the U.S. Spoiler alert: There are some similarities between the U.S. and Rome. But before continuing, please seat […]
This a must watch video for anyone who wants some honest analysis on the Ukraine-Russia conflict and its significance to Russia. The video is a bit long, but absolutely worth it. Colonel Douglas MacGregor (advisor to President Trump and former Desert Storm tank commander) and Dr. Michael Vlahos (Naval War College, Johns Hopkins professor, and […]
by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Ukraine’s rich land has historically been used as a pathway for Western powers as they attempted to conquer the East As a result, Ukraine, being surrounded by greater powers on all sides, had to master the art of changing sides The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), founded in 1929, […]
by Ryan McMaken via Mises.org American policy makers have shown a surprising about of sanity so far in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While some war enthusiasts among the American punditry have certainly been agitating for World War III, the leadership in both the White House and Congress has repeatedly and straightforwardly refused most calls […]
by Ron Paul via Ron Paul Institute Previewing President Biden’s trip to Europe last week, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that, “the president is traveling to Europe to make sure we stay united.” That sure didn’t go as planned. This may have been the most disastrous – and dangerous – Presidential overseas trip […]
by Ryan McMaken via Mises.org It is becoming increasingly apparent that isolating Russia and totally cutting it off from the global economy is not going to be easy. As I discussed last week, from Mexico to Brazil to China to India and much of Africa, the world is resisting Washington’s call to treat Russia as a pariah […]
by CJ Hopkins via Consent Factory Warm up the Wagnerian orchestra and call in the goose-stepping chorus girls, because … yes, that’s right, it’s Springtime for GloboCap! “The Winter of Severe Illness and Death” is over! The big Black Sun is shining again! God’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world! OK, sure, the […]
by Vasko Kohlmayer via LewRockwell.com In his recent appearance on Face the Nation, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told Margaret Brennan: “The Ukrainians have killed more Russians in three weeks than we lost in Afghanistan and Iraq in 20 years. I think we ought to go into this believing the Ukrainians can actually win. And […]
by Chris MacIntosh via International Man You might be thinking we are “pro-Russia”. Nothing of the sort. In essence, we would like to point out how Russia is way more important to the world economy than it was some 20 years ago. To embargo or limit Russia’s exports will only lead to an inflationary super […]
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. via Mises.org Few people today ask the most important question about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Many people want America to stay out of the fight, but even they don’t ask the vital question. Why does the world face a crisis today? Why has a border dispute between Russia […]
by Ryan McMaken via Mises.org There is an active, influential, and well-paid minority of pundits and politicians in America who apparently believe that escalating conflict between nuclear powers—and even nuclear war itself—is not really that big a deal. These, of course, are the sorts of people who fancy themselves “the adults in the room,” while […]
by Ryan McMaken via Mises.org With proponents of military intervention and war, it’s always 1938, and every attempt to substitute diplomacy for escalation and war is “appeasement.” Last week, for example, Ukrainian legislator Lesia Vasylenko accused Western leaders of appeasement during Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, stating, “This is the same as 1938 when also the world and […]
by Adam Dick via Ron Paul Institute Many Congress members in Washington, DC are loudly proclaiming their support for the United States government continuing and even increasing its support for the Ukraine government’s fight against Russia. In contrast, former US House of Representatives member Ron Paul is arguing, as he did when he was a […]
In this interview Ukrainian-American Veronika Kyrlenko provides some excellent insights on Ukraine and its relationship with Russia. Veronika is a journalist with The New American and holds a PhD in Political Science. She also professes a strong passion for personal freedom and individual responsibility. From The New American, Most Americans know very little about Ukraine. […]
If you are searching for an excellent non-corporate media perspective on what led to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, I highly recommend Oliver Stone’s 2016 documentary Ukraine on Fire. You are simply not going to find this kind of historical information on the mainstream media outlets. It doesn’t fit inside the Overton Window. Curiously, Stone’s documentary sat […]
by Doug Casey via International Man International Man: Prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we discussed the rising tensions between the US and Russia over Ukraine. What is your take on what has transpired since then? Doug Casey: I think it makes sense first to recount the genesis of this war. It started when an American-backed […]
via GEFIRA.org The collective post-West has been running amok for the last two weeks. The powers that be make believe that they did not expect that events would unfold the way they are unfolding now (though they did their best to make things happen as they are happening) and they make a show imposing sanctions […]
by Eric Margolis via Ron Paul Institute The brazenly biased western media is giving us the impression that the Ukraine fighting is some sort of sports competition. Russia’s media, now shamefully silenced in the west by the banning of Russia Today and Sputnik News, portrays the so far modest war in Ukraine as a renewed […]
by Ron Paul via Ron Paul Institute As the Russian invasion of Ukraine moves past its third week, there are slight hopes that negotiations between the two sides may soon produce a ceasefire. But with the shrill warmongering talk in Washington, it almost seems like the US government would hate to see that happen. Congress […]
by Tyler Durden via Zero Hedge A surprising op-ed in MSNBC arguing that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was likely “preventable” if the US and NATO had merely tried to take a path of muscular diplomacy and potential compromise appears to have slipped passed the mainstream media censors and gate-keepers. Since the start of the Thursday Feb.24 invasion, […]
by Pat Buchanan via Buchanan.org When several NATO nations revealed that they had dozens of Russian-made MiG-29s, the idea arose to fly them to Ukraine and turn them over to Ukrainian pilots familiar with the MiGs. America would provide F-16s to replace the MiGs. Poland had an even better idea. Warsaw would fly its 27 […]
This is an outstanding must watch video if you are seeking a credible, thoughtful, and substantive geopolitical discussion on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Vladimir Putin. It is unlike anything you will see on corporate media. Former CIA officer (Head of Russia Desk) Ray McGovern and University of Chicago political science professor John Mearsheimer are deep […]
by Lipton Matthews via Mises.org The decision of Western countries to punish Russia for invading Ukraine by lacing her with a wave of sanctions suggests that global leaders are failing to learn from history. Sanctions are an ineffective tool to curb the ambitions of rogue actors and they are unlikely to make autocrats think twice. Non-democratic regimes […]
by Tho Bishop via Mises.org Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is nearing its second week. Vladimir Putin’s military continues its push west, with clear attempts to encircle Kyiv. To date, thankfully, America and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies have held off pleas from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to enforce a no-fly zone, which would risk the eruption […]
