My doubts about Putin’s ability to think strategically go back to 2008. I have always been a defender of Putin in that the aggression is from Washington to Russia, not vice versa, and that Washington, not Putin, is responsible for the conflict in Ukraine. Nevertheless, I had early doubts about Putin’s strategic vision. He spoke... Read More
In his meeting the other day with the Russian Defense Ministry Board, Putin discussed the accomplishments of the past year and measures needed to ensure Russia’s security from Washington’s aspirations for world dominance. “We see the US administration and the collective West relentlessly trying to preserve their dominance, pushing their rules on the global community...

It is fitting to replace the sickening female president with someone ultra-masculine. He is in opposition to the gay agenda of the United States. Basically, everything in geopolitics can be divided into “pro-gay” and “anti-gay.” The Guardian: Mikheil Kavelashvili Wow, pretty good numbers. nb4 “the only one nominated” – anyone could have protested by not...

The third front that Washington opened against Russia had immediate success. Putin’s inability to ever finish a task has cost him Syria. Putin stupidly repeated the mistake he made with the Minsk Agreement with the Astana Agreement which permitted Washington to maintain illegal military bases in Syria, steal Syria’s oil, and route it to Israel...

They’re just open about it, you know. They just say it. They treat every single one of us like Palestinians. RT: The US is considering additional sanctions against individuals in Georgia it has deemed responsible for brutal violence amid the ongoing unrest, according to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The country’s pro-Western political parties... Read More
All the Russian traitors fled to Georgia to protest Putin defending their country. Most of them work for the CIA. RT: Up to a third of those identified at recent protests in Tbilisi have turned out to be foreign nationals, according to the executive secretary of the ruling Georgian Dream party, Mamuka Mdinaradze. The anti-government... Read More
President Putin faces the possibility of a second Ukraine, a second war front that could result from Washington’s success in staging a coup d’etat in Georgia with a color revolution. Riots ongoing since the “Russian party” defeated the “Western party” by 54% to 34% have convinced the Prime Minister of Georgia that the West is... Read More
Western NGOs have sent the Georgian opposition political parties that they finance into the streets to protest the Georgian Dream Party’s sweep of the legislative elections. The Georgian Dream Party favors pragmatic relations with Russia, whereas the collection of small parties financed by the West want to create another Maidan Revolution to open a second... Read More
For women in Georgia, it’s “ass-hole or no hole.” They will not tolerate insults against homosexualism. ITV: Irakli Kobakhidze, who is a member of Georgian Dream and has served as the country’s prime minister since February 2024, described his party’s victory as “impressive and obvious”. Georgia’s political system consists of a president, whose role is... Read More
I have tried to provide accurate analysis of the conflict in Ukraine. This is not a simple task as there is little publicly available information about how the Kremlin sees the widening of the conflict. France has sent troops. The US Secretary of Defense said that eventually NATO troops will be deployed to Ukraine, and... Read More
It is just as I said, and Putin’s inability to recognize reality and endlessly prolonging the conflict in Ukraine is bringing Russia and the world more trouble. Putin’s dithering has now brought the French Foreign Legion to the front lines in Ukraine, and western Ukraine is accumulating NATO troops. As I have emphasized from the... Read More
Oddly, few Western writers on the South Caucasus have ever grasped Christian Armenia’s significance as Russia’s only ally and military outpost among the region’s three countries. Simply put: Were Russia to lose Armenia, the U.S./NATO/EU and pan-Turkism would inevitably dominate the Caucasus/Caspian and, perhaps, beyond. Putin understands this. Georgia and Azerbaijan are, after all, headed... Read More

VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes: When the 2020 election controversy erupted, I decided that VDARE.com would not focus on it. VDARE.com’s Letitia James-drained resources, I thought, should be concentrated on our key issue: Immigration and the survival of the Historic American Nation. The MSM and Big Tech, of course set up an echo-chamber of sloganeering... Read More
Good old Lavrov. They don’t call him “Captain Obvious” for nothing. RT: YES – AMERICA HAS THE SAME LAW, EXCEPT IT’S WAY MORE EXTREME. I’m so sick of this shit! People are so STUPID. The protests in Georgia have been “orchestrated” from abroad, t
Until last night, blacks in primary elections in both parties had done poorly this year, either losing to more moderate white candidates or winning nominations they are almost certain to lose in the general election. Georgia has upended the trend. Redistricting changed the state’s congressional districts considerably. The sixth and seventh had both been swing... Read More

Jews in America and particularly in the South have been energized by the election of Jon Ossoff to the Senate, the first Jew from Georgia to have that distinction. He was buoyed by the strong appeal to Black voters of fellow candidate the Rev. Raphael Warnock, who, as one commentator said, “had the coattails that... Read More
When Donald Trump meets with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg today, the president should give him a direct message: The roster of NATO membership is closed. For good. The United States will not hand out any more war guarantees to fight Russia to secure borders deep in Eastern Europe, when our own southern border is... Read More

The Sailer Strategy achieved an unnoticed triumph in Georgia’s Gwinnett County last week, even though the Stupid Party ran away from it as usual. The Sailer Strategy emphasizes the importance of white voters, but in this case, significantly, Gwinnett Asians and Hispanics voted with whites—apparently vindicating another Steve Sailer theory: that black and non-black minorities...

The staff of US democracy promotion NGOs, including the son of Transportation Secretary Lahood, are currently experiencing legal travails in Egypt. The Egyptian junta is well aware that democratic agitation abetted by the National Endowment for Democracy, the IRI, and the NDI is often employed to install new regimes when local strongmen running quasi-democracies (featuring...

Bad Blood in Azerbaijan Cheney in the Caucasus
For the past week, Dick Cheney has been traveling through the Caucasus trying to drum up support for punitive action against Russia for its role in the recent fighting in South Ossetia. The Vice President vowed that the Moscow's action "will not go unanswered". Cheney is determined to establish the United States as the regional... Read More
PARIS — Pipsqueak Georgia's harebrained and disastrous attack on tiny South Ossetia has produced a full-blown crisis pitting the US and NATO against Russia. In an act fraught with danger, US and NATO warships are delivering supplies to Georgia, watched by Russian men of war. The US Congress may soon vote $1 billion for America's... Read More
Barack Obama's endorsement of Joe Biden's call for $1 billion in aid to Georgia for reconstruction dodges the question of reconstruction of what and where. As most of the fighting was in South Ossetia, which almost certainly will wind up as part of Russia, it is not likely that the money will go there. And... Read More
The Bush administration appears to have pulled off its latest military fiasco in the Caucasus. What was supposed to have been a swift and painless takeover of rebellious South Ossetia by America's favorite new ally, Georgia, has turned into a disaster that left Georgia battered, Russia enraged, and NATO badly demoralized. Not bad for two... Read More
A fast guy had thought that a wallet was unattended, and tried to snatch it. But to his distress, he was stopped in his tracks by a burly wallet owner. This might be a fair description of Saddam Hussein’s effort to snatch Kuwait. It also fits the war over South Ossetia. Georgian President Saakashvili thought... Read More
The Humiliation of Georgia (and Bush) Revisiting the "Battle of Tskhinvali"
There are no military installations in the city of Tskhinvali. In fact, there are no military targets at all. It is an industrial center consisting of lumber mills, manufacturing plants and residential areas. It is also the home to 30,000 South Ossetians. When Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili ordered the city to be bombed by warplanes... Read More
Master Plan or Screw Up? Georgia and U.S. Strategy
The American-armed and trained Georgian army swarmed into South Ossetia last Thursday, killing an estimated 2,000 civilians, sending 40,000 South Ossetians fleeing over the Russian border, and destroying much of the capital, Tskhinvali. The attack was unprovoked and took place a full 24 hours before even ONE Russian soldier set foot in South Ossetia. Nevertheless,... Read More
Perhaps I’m missing something big in the “movement conservative’ accounts about what we should be doing to the Russians for their invasion of Georgia. But so far all I’ve encountered is more of the usual neocon blather. For informational purposes: this military action took place after the Georgians had tried to keep their pro-Russian province...

Bill Kristol's op ed "Will Russia Get Away With It?" in today's The New York Times is a beauty even by his admittedly low standards. Our corrupt thugs in Tbilisi are apparently being bullied by an "autocratic aggressor" from Moscow and we can't let the bad guys get away with it, particularly as the brave... Read More
In the depths of the Pankisi Gorge, a natural fortress in the mountains of northern Georgia shielded from the outside world by its sheer rock walls, kidnappers are holding an Orthodox monk and demanding $1 million for his release. The kidnapping has provoked a public outcry and highlighted the disintegration of Georgia. Demonstrators gathered last... Read More
