“Ukraine should blow up Putin’s Crimea bridge” (a lesson in lunacy and hatred)

[Note: Check out what russophobia run amok can do it a person, and I am not even talking to the crackpot who wrote this, but about the folks who published it.  Amazing, no? The Saker] Ukraine should blow up Putin’s Crimea bridge by Tom Rogan  | May 15, 2018 02:39 PM Russian President Vladimir Putin opened the Kerch Strait Bridge connecting Crimea, Ukraine, with mainland Russia on Tuesday.

Putin’s poisoned gift to the Ukraine (first impressions – not an “analysis”)

As most commentators had predicted, Putin has agreed to exchange Nadezhda Savchenko for 2 Russians citizens accused by the Junta of being terrorists.  To be honest, I am deeply disgusted by the fact that this rabid Nazi was allowed to walk free.  Of course, I understand that IF the two Russians captured by the Ukies were really any kind of intelligence officers, Putin just had to obtain their release.  I

Putin’s counter-intuitive 8 point peace plan for the Ukraine

They range from “Putin wants ton conquer the Ukraine and then Moldova, the Baltic States and (who knows?) even Poland” to “Putin’s wants to back-stab Novorussia and sell it in exchange for Crimea”. And these are not just empty speculations, because your assessment of what is happening today will largely depend on what you believe Putin’s end goal is. For

Putin’s Collaborators (?) and Distant Echoes of WW2

by Jimmie Moglia for the Saker blog By and large, for an ideology to take root among a people or a nation it is necessary to transform the individual into the mass man.

by David Sant for the Saker blog On Tuesday, February 21st President Putin gave a speech that was expected to be very significant. After it was delivered, however, most pundits said he didn’t say anything we didn’t already know. Most of them focused on his announcement of the withdrawal from the START II treaty.

Pontius Pilate in the White House: The US, the Ukraine, China, Russia and Russian Orthodox Prophecies

By Batiushka for the Saker blog Foreword The second half of this essay replies to a commentator who has written: ‘Batiushka, let us know how to read your prophecies’. Here there is a fundamental misunderstanding. However, before we get to that, let us look at the big picture of geopolitical events, only after which the second half will become relevant.

‘Will the Ukraine War Subvert the Antichristian Western Elite?’

By Walt Garlington for the Saker blog There should be no doubt that the current Western elite have a strong desire to eradicate the traditional Orthodox Faith from the world. Efforts by globalists to undermine Orthodoxy are well-documented, and on the second day of Russia’s military operation in the Ukraine the head of the UK’s MI-6 Richard Moore tweeted out this sparkling gem: ‘With the tragedy and destruction unfolding so

The US love for Ukraine or Hate against Russia?

by Zamir Awan for the Saker blog President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine is on his first overseas visit since the crisis began in February 2022.

After the Ukraine Is Over, Many a European Heart is Aching

By Batiushka for the Saker blog Foreword: The Cold Wait Northern Europe, as far south as northern Italy, is now in the grip of a wave of icy cold (no doubt, the result of global warming). As a result, observers are expecting the Russian winter offensive in the Ukraine to start all the sooner, though nobody knows when. This month or next? Maybe a dramatic entry from Belarus, cutting off
