08/10/11 | POLITICAL MADNESS: LINDSEY GRAHAM AND THE WAR AGAINST PAKISTAN

Senator Lindsey Graham the main adherent of the eternal war of America against the world calls up for the conflict with Pakistan now. During his recent interview to the Fox News he claimed the following: «Pakistani participation in the hostile activities against the USA and our ally Afghanistan has to be stopped...»

06/10/11 | AMERICAN NMD AND THE «GREATER ROMANIA» PROJECT

Oddities of the officially presented meaning of the U.S. NMD system may be discussed for a long time. So, the intercepting missiles, launched from Romania are to bring the hypothetical Iranian rockets down in over Turkey. In Turkey itself it is planned to station merely AWACS radar. According to the logic of the missile strikes, the latter one should be attack in the first place, because after that the attack at Europe and the USA can be waged with a much greater success. If we draw all the bases and radar of American NMD system as the points of a circle, it is the Russian Federation rather than Iran that happens to be in the center of it.

06/10/11 | PEACE PRIZE OR PANDORA PRIZE?

On the 7^th of October Laureates of the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced in Oslo. It’s difficult to say whether Wael Ghonim will be awarded — he has tough rivals. Yet, if we start giving this award away to people, who provoked a chain reaction of coups, civil conflicts, full-scale civil wars and mass bombings, then the name «Pandora Prize» fits the Nobel Peace Prize more.

05/10/11 | AXIOMS OF GEOPOLITICAL EXPERIENCE. Part I. Russia, Turkey and the geopolitical retrospection

On the 2^nd of August, 1914 Enver Pasha, military officer and actual ruler of Turkey offered Russia to align a military bloc against Germany and Austria-Hungary, once Russia guaranteed eternal Turkish possession of the Straits. Yet, it was exactly the thing that St. Petersburg politicians were unwilling to do, giving Turkey a final push towards the embrace of the Central states. Not multiplying the number of its allies was of vital importance for Russia at the moment and cutting off the Straits Turkey, thus, interrupted the most important channel of Russian communications with its Western allies.

04/10/11 | WHAT DO OBAMA AND SARKOZY HAVE IN COMMON?

Who of these Presidents is better off three months before the election year ends? Is it Sarkozy — not particularly popular, but featuring a reputation of a steady leader, navigating the country through the crisis? Or is it Obama, whose lifestyle and behavior cause no contempt among his compatriots, but whose authority in the matters of American economics and foreign policy is growing all the more dubious?

02/10/11 | NEW JAPANESE GOVERNMENT: Portrait features

New Japanese government distinguished itself with new political scandals even before it started working properly. New Japanese Minister of Economics Yoshio Hachiro stayed at his post for merely 9 days. Having a peculiar sense of humor, he dubbed the radioactively polluted Fukushima prefectures the «death cities» and while meeting with the journalists after attending Fukushima-1, he greeted them, saying «I’m going to infect you with radiation now!» and pretending to embracing one of the journalists.

01/10/11 | WILL ALGERIA BE THE NEXT TARGET? Interests of the USA, France and Al-Qaida have tied into a single knot

Algerian militants are tightly bound to the Special Services of certain Gulf States, pursuing their own goals. Time of peace for Algerian is at an end. Talkative Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi has indirectly confirmed it, announcing his intention to replace the Algerian gas with Libyan one soon enough. Mind that Algeria as a supplier has never left a handle for reproaches.

30/09/11 | WAR AT THE HOLY LAND MAY BE THE END OF THE ARAB SPRING. PART II

The age when Israel featured the unreserved U.S. support is a thing of past now. Today, when the world is reformatted according to the scenarios of Soros and Brzezinski, the global layout of powers is utterly different. The USA tries to stake at the new revolutionary movements — in the Islamic world first of all. According to the architects of the new world order, regimes that came to power in the second half of the 20^th century and on the surge of secular pan-Arabism are to be brought down everywhere.

28/09/11 | LESSONS OF SIRTE AND BANI WALID. Are London and France going to occupy Libya?

Answering the Channel 2 question, whether new authorities will get stuck in an unforgivable conflict with the Warfalla tribe because of the Sirte and Bani Walid assault, TNC executive bureau leader Mahmoud Jibril remained calm. «Yes, this is serious and they will try to revenge but French and Englishmen are much stronger and we’ll ask them to stay for as long as necessary». Frankly said, no unequivocal interpretations are possible. Leader of rebels perceives Libyan future to be the stand against his own citizens and his only hope is the former colonial powers, which are «much stronger» than his own compatriots.

23/09/11 | EXPROPRIATION OF «SAFETY CUSHIONS». Norwegian and Libyan ways

Theoretically Libya has $100 billion, but in fact new leadership of the Libyan central bank had to sell 29 tons of gold — which makes up 20% of an entire golden reserve — in order to supply people with salaries. At that, the matter of lifting off the suspending status of merely 15 billion out of 80 depends upon the negotiations between the TNC and the contact group — they are to discuss the fair distribution of concessions in favor of the companies from «liberating countries».
