Earlier this evening, my good friend Paul Craig Roberts suggested that I take a close look at an awful article on the Ukraine war published in yesterday’s edition of Johnson’s Russia List. For those who are not familiar with it, JRL was for a couple of decades a resource in good times and bad for … Continue reading S.

Russian state television yesterday was explaining to its domestic audience how awed Western leaders were by the first use of Russia’s still ‘experimental’ hypersonic intermediate range missile, the Oreshnik (hazelnut tree). They showed on screen the utter confusion of Zelensky over how to respond other than to publicly beg Washington for further shipments of anti-aircraft … Continue reading Why all the fuss about Russia’s newly demonstrated Oreshnik hypersonic missile? →

‘Judging Freedom’ edition of 31 October 2024: a review of the BRICS Summit The lighting and perhaps the sound of the recording from my Petersburg apartment may have left something to be desired, but I believe the content may provide food for thought, particularly among those who yesterday saw many of the same questions addressed … Continue reading ‘Judging Freedom’ edition of 31 October 2024: a review of the BRICS Summit →

St Petersburg Travel Notes: installment two

Gilbert Doctorow ·

2024/10/31

During the period of the Wagner Group insurrection in the spring of 2023, the biography of the mercenary group’s founder and principal owner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was spread far and wide. The fact that he had once served meals to Vladimir Putin prompted sniggering among our mainstream commentators. Just imagine that such a person could rise … Continue reading St Petersburg Travel Notes: installment two →

I find it hard to remember the last time I shared a podium with an advocate of Marxism-Leninism to student activists. Those student activists just happen to be Palestinians. Press TV this morning provided such an opportunity when I joined Khaled Barakat of the Masar Badil Movement, also known as the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path, … Continue reading Press TV, Iran hosts a non-standard panel discussion of Lebanon under Israeli fire →

Alternative Media commentators from among intelligence veterans and military veterans had their time ‘on air’ on Friday, well before the Israeli attack on Iran carried out during the night of 25 – 26 October. For that reason, their evaluations of the attack have not yet appeared on youtube. Accordingly, what I present here is based … Continue reading The Israeli attack on Iran: what do we know?

It was good to be back on ‘Dialogue Works’ in discussion with host Nima Alkhorshid. Today I was given the opportunity to set out a very different explanation of U.S. policy in the developing regional war in the Middle East/West Asia from what my peers are saying, or from what I myself would have said … Continue reading The Israeli rampage in the Middle East is in fact a new U.S. proxy war to avenge its humiliations there in the last two decades →

2024/10/02

All discussion in the Washington foreign policy establishment on how the Ukrainian war has pushed Russia into China’s arms and made it a ‘junior partner’ is utter nonsense. My contention is that a hubristic U.S. foreign policy that pays no attention to what adversaries are saying because that is ‘disinformation’ has pushed China into Russia’s … Continue reading Washington pushes China into Russia’s arms, pushes Iran into Russia’s arms →
