2025/04/15

In this evening’s edition of The Great Game political talk show, which we may take as representative of Kremlin thinking, they finally discussed an issue that has attracted the close attention of commentators in the United States and Europe for several days: that there are sharply divergent views within Trump’s circle of foreign policy formulators … Continue reading The Kremlin takes note of the contradictions in Trump’s foreign policy team →

2025/04/15

In the past several weeks, I have repeatedly called out the destructive role of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron as they try, by hook or crook, to build a ‘Coalition of the Willing’ that would send troops to Ukraine to create a deterrent against ‘further Russian aggression’ at some point … Continue reading Friedrich Merz: the most dangerous German leader since Adolf Hitler →

Why did Russia attack Sumy and with what results?

Gilbert Doctorow ·

2025/04/14

This brief essay presents two ‘straws in the wind.’ The title above is the first. The second is: why does Helsinki have a new mayor with the very un-Finnish sounding family name of Sazonov? I offer this material, because you will not find it anywhere in US and European mainstream media, and yet it all … Continue reading Why did Russia attack Sumy and with what results? →

News X World: Witkoff Putin Talks US envoy meets Putin

Gilbert Doctorow ·

2025/04/13

This five-minute interview yesterday morning is interesting for the opportunity I was given to explain why the visit on Friday of Donald Trump’s personal emissary Steve Witkoff to Petersburg for a meeting with President Putin was likely taken on short notice. It was less for purposes of continuing talks on ending the Ukraine war that … Continue reading News X World: Witkoff Putin Talks US envoy meets Putin →

2025/04/11

In this evening’s 20.00 o’clock main Russian state news program Vesti the number one topic was the day’s business that brought Vladimir Putin to the Northern Capital. Why St Petersburg? Because it is the home of the Admiralty and is one of the main shipbuilding centers of Russia. The video showed Putin seated with a … Continue reading Steve Witkoff’s visit to Petersburg today: what do we know? →

Professor Glenn Diesen: Transatlantic Ties Unraveling

Gilbert Doctorow ·

2025/04/10

The brief summary that Professor Diesen has attached to this 35-minute interview reads: “The US seeks to readjust to a multipolar world, and Europe’s relevance and priority have declined. Beyond Europe’s efforts to sabotage Trump’s peace initiative in Ukraine and the tariff wars, there is a deeper contempt for Europe that is no longer concealed.” … Continue reading Professor Glenn Diesen: Transatlantic Ties Unraveling →

2025/04/09

In every human endeavor that goes on for years there are those bold folks who come in early and there are those fools who come in at close to the bitter end, unaware of how others will see the futility of their arrival as late-comers. Our Belgians are clearly in the second category. In the … Continue reading Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever takes his delegation to Kiev →

2025/04/04

I have been listening to Jeffrey Sachs’ latest condemnatory remarks about the Trump tariffs, about the ignorance of economics that Trump displays at every turn. And given the wide respect that Sachs enjoys, given his international renown as a deputy to UN Secretary Generals, I find it essential to respond on behalf of Team Trump … Continue reading Jeffrey Sachs and the nonsense of our best known economists with respect to the Trump tariffs →

Gilbert Doctorow ·

2025/04/03

Today’s chat with Judge Andrew Napolitano covered the waterfront of news from and about Donald Trump. This is perfectly fine, because my basic thesis is that Trump’s many different initiatives both domestic and foreign are interlinked by a common concept of sovereignty and national interest. Many of Team Trump’s actions are deeply offensive to those … Continue reading ‘Judging Freedom’ edition of 3 April: Why Trump is in a rush →
