The way she describes Russian society as divided is encouraging. Maybe the Russians can have their own culture war and growing pan-secessionist sentiment to mirror the American version. And so can the Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Europeans, Latin Americans, Middle Easterners, Africans, etc., etc., etc., Russian news director and […]
This is pretty good. Carlson is hit and miss, but when he’s right, he’s right. I’m thinking I’d like to see Tucker Carlson enter the GOP primaries and win, and then pick Tulsi as his running mate. Obviously, there are limitations to both, and to electoralism generally, but […]

By Caitlin Johnstone We’re risking a very fast, very radioactive third world war defending the “democracy” of a regime who just banned eleven opposition parties. Liberals explaining why it’s fine to eliminate opposition parties when they become inconvenient is just liberals telling you who they really are. One […]

By Ogul Tuna The Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington Azerbaijan’s biggest trade partners in the region, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, have shared economic interests in establishing new trade links, but they also share common threat perceptions regarding Iran and radicalism.
