Trump the businessman: what exactly does that mean?

Gilbert Doctorow ·

2025/02/05

Trump the businessman: what exactly does that mean? As we all know, Trump is not a politician. He does not have decades of ‘public service’ in a governorship or in Congress as most presidents in recent history had. We are told he is a businessman. We know that he consorts with plutocrats from Silicon Valley … Continue reading Trump the businessman: what exactly does that mean? →

2025/02/05

This was a very interesting chat for me, and hopefully for the community as well because the headlined subject was only a small part of a wide-ranging discussion that took in very different sides of Donald Trump’s latest forays into foreign policy, planned purges of government agencies and other highly disruptive activities that are keeping … Continue reading ‘Judging Freedom’ edition of 5 February: Kremlin on Trump’s Call for Ceasefire →

A couple of years ago, on this web platform, I invited volunteers to come forward and provide translations of my essays into a variety of European languages which I could post below the English texts. Though the well-educated stratum in each country across the globe almost always has studied foreign languages, it remains clear that … Continue reading Teamwork in the furtherance of international understanding and peace →

Gilbert Doctorow ·

2025/02/01

Today I call attention to the BBC’s role as the voice of the British Deep State. The ‘free market’ British media, despite their anti-Russian predisposition, have of late joined U.S. print and electronic mainstream in accepting the inevitable and, likely, soon to come defeat of Ukraine in its war with Russia. The non-state British press, … Continue reading BBC: the voice of the viscerally anti-Russian British Government →

2025/02/01

Reading over the questions and my answers in this interview, I am obliged to say mea culpa: I followed the well trodden path of professional interviewees and delivered my thoughts on the subject without specifically answering the well crafted questions posed by the WION presenter. Given the encouraging words of Mr Chanana at the end, … Continue reading Transcript of 29 January WION interview →

That Judge Andrew Napolitano’s youtube channel has a large audience is clear from his subscription numbers. The tags from those leaving comments show that this audience comes from across the world, though the U.S. is of course the largest component. It is also clear that the Russians find his program to be a valuable source … Continue reading Transcript of ‘Judging Freedom’ edition of 30 January →

Gilbert Doctorow ·

2025/01/30

This discussion is notable especially for the material on the situation in Kursk, where the Ukrainians perversely have been topping up their fighting forces with their best prepared and equipped units every time that the Russians hammer them down and exterminate large numbers of their men. Russian intelligence experts now estimate that there are 30,000 … Continue reading ‘Judging Freedom’ edition of 30 January: Does Putin Trust Trump? →

Some subscribers to my website occasionally write in to say they are so pleased to find that a day after I post each video interview here I also put up a written transcript, because they prefer to read the argumentation rather than to watch the original audio visual version. Others say the opposite. What you … Continue reading ‘Dialogue Works’ edition of 30 January: Collective Amnesia in the West →

In my essay earlier today entitled ‘Peace through strength and other American illusions,’ I made reference to a panel discussion this afternoon on the Indian global broadcaster News X.
