Intro by the Saker: following my article on the situation in the Ukraine, I got the following email from a reader from Budapest: “You mention about how the Ukrainian government persecutes Russian speakers. In addition, they are also persecuting Hungarian speakers. They have been banning the Hungarian language, Hungarian flag, etc., and the Hungarian community has been threatened with graffiti about their extermination, typically sprayed on the Hungarian community centers,
[this analysis was written for the Unz Review] While the Ukraine has mostly been out of the news, there were bigger stories out there, things have gone disastrously wrong under “Ze” (Zelenskii) and the Ukraine is now looking at several time bombs which could explode at any minute. Here is a partial list of problems which the Ze administration will have to deal with in 2021: (in no particular order)
Foreign Minister Lavrov just made the following statement that Russia is willing to sever her ties with the EU if the EU introduces new sanctions. He said: “Мы исходим из того, что мы готовы [к разрыву с Евросоюзом]. Если мы еще раз увидим, как мы уже почувствовали не единожды, что в каких-то областях накладываются санкции, которые создают риски для нашей экономики, в том числе в самых чувствительных сферах, — да.
[this analysis was written for the Unz Review] Introducing the headless chicken The EU has a major problem: it is run by a comprador class which is entirely dependent on the United States. Okay, that by itself is not the problem I am referring to. The problem I am referring to is one we could call the problem of the decapitated chicken: a decapitated chicken can run without a head,

It seems the Russians had to develop an antidote against such a primitive approach. original text by Petr Akopov translated for the Saker blog by Olga source: https://m.vz.ru/opinions/2021/1/20/1080946.html Among the loud and quite predictable campaign in the West in response to detention of Alexei Navalny – with declaring him a “prisoner of
Dear friends, Today I will begin by referring you to a post by my friend Andrei Martyanov about this Navalnyi nonsense which Andrei aptly named “I Wouldn’t Even Post About It“. Heck, that was also what I decided since, frankly, the entire western narrative about him is so false, so totally out of touch with reality, that my first inclination was to “flush my mental toilet” and deal with most
[Note by the Saker: as most of you know, I don’t do reposts (see here why). This time, however, I decided to make a small exception to this rule and I emailed William and asked him for the permission to repost his excellent article on the hardcore russophobic elements inside Biden’s team. William has very kindly allowed me to do so, so here it is below] by William Engdahl, reposted
[This analysis was written for the Unz Review] First, a clarification. When I speak of “Biden” I don’t mean the fungus (to use Tom Luongo’s apt expression) which was recently planted in the White House, I am referring to the “collective Biden” which I defined here https://thesaker.is/terminology/. With this caveat, now let’s see why Russia might want to change gears in 2021. First, let’s begin by the basics: Russians often
[this column was written for the Unz Review] Dear friends, Today it appears that the triumph of our adversaries is total. I want to post this column saying that I don’t believe for one second that this is true. All I want to do today is explain why. Thus, just to make clear to those alternatively gifted, this is not a comprehensive analysis and I will be leaving many things
The following exhibition is supposed to be, quote, “Twerk on Washington is a declaration of freedom and healing”. I want to sincerely congratulate all the Apostles for Diversity who made this possible: thank you for showing us your idea of the future of the USA! The Saker

Dear friends Today I underwent a small medical procedure, all went well, but I need a few days to rest. I will be at home, and I will work on blog-issues, but I might take a few days longer than usual to answer emails. Keep them to a minimum please, just until next week, ok? As for submissions, they can go to both me and Amarynth (just do like you
[this analysis was written for the Unz Review] The mob did not win! This is how the supposedly conservative FoxNews celebrated the supposed defeat of a supposed mob. See for yourself: FoxNews finally showed its true face during the election steal when it declared that Trump had lost the election long before any evidence in support of this thesis materialized. It is now abundantly clear that with a few exceptions

Dear friends First, I opened a Parler account: @TheSaker Right now I am NOT using it, just made one small test post, but I might decide to use it in the near future. So, FYI, if you want to support Parler (which is my main reason to open a Parler account to begin with), you can now follow me there too. Next, I want to let you know that I

I wish Tucker Carlson realized that the Romanovs where not in power when the Winter Palace was stormed, and his China views are silly, but all in all, a pretty good show.
Dear friends I want to express my best wishes to all the Orthodox Christians who are celebrating the Nativity of our Lord today: may this day be peaceful and filled with joy! I will be gone most of the day, so I leave yet another open thread with a suggested topic: “what will happen next now that the Dems total control all *four* branches of government (the usual 3 +
