The Nabucco pipeline has been used to slap Russia in the face time and time again. This pipeline has also been touted as the answer to break the Russian Bear's hold on Europe...But there has been a huge flaw from day one and that is getting gas to fill the pipeline. It seems that in the last few months Europe has come to a realization that Russia is the only way to fill the pipeline that is to save Europe from the Evil Russian Bear... (interesting thought...)Now - South Stream and Nabucco, the... Full Story

Watch the video! No really watch the video then come back... This really is an unbelievable video and is chocked full of surprises for NATO lovers! NATO has done a 180 degree turn around on Russia... Now is it a real stance? Or is it a face of a dying organization that really needs Russia to become part of the game so that it can prolong NATO's viability in the worlds eyes?

It is fun to watch the Western world get their faces all twisted up in a tissy when Russia does things that are considered bad and evil by Western standards. Even when it is the West that helps do these evil things... What am I talking about? The proposed sale of the French navy's 23,700-ton Mistral-class amphibious assault ship to Russia by a NATO country, France! This seems to me to be more of a chess game tactic by Putin to obtain a vessel. The actuality is Russia does needs the ship to... Full Story

I have written about the concept that "Russia plays Chess and America plays Checkers!" This is nothing new to you if you have followed my blog for years. I found an article that plays that same theme. The problem with the article is that it is a Western scare tactic article. When you read it it is heavily swayed to a bias against Russia. It does touch upon truths about both sides and their techniques of playing the game. It relies heavily upon the evil Russian and bringing back the "cold war... Full Story

When did the western world turn into a bunch of pansies?  There are few that doubt Britain's Nanny State status, and the USA isn't lagging far behind.  While I can't speak for the rest of Europe, you can't help but hear these crazy 'nanny state' stories about most European countries as well. The latest outrage is over an advertisement put out by one of Britain's biggest fitness centers, a spa at Cadbury House Hotel, has one of the funniest advertisements I have seen in a while with...

While it is no secret that Ukraine is an overly corrupt nation that excels in bribery, the recent attempt to bribe, or some may say blackmail, US officials in order to secure further IMF funding is audacious to ridiculous extremes. In December Ukrainian officials descended on Washington with one overriding mission –to convince the Obama administration that without the financial help of the IMF, Ukraine might be unable to supply the EU with Russian gas this winter. This badly disguised... Full Story

Few countries of the world are suffering quite as severely during this Financial Crisis as Ukraine.  Gripped with corruption of the most extreme level, Ukraine's people are without work, without money and most importantly without food.  Of course, the elite don't have this problem, but the middle and lower classes are scraping to get by while the administration sip champagne while enjoying black caviar in the back of their Maybach's. It is no wonder that once again Ukraine is having... Full Story

On June 5, 2008, the President of Russia put forward an initiative to develop a new pan-European security treaty, the main idea of which is to create – in the context of military and political security in the Euro-Atlantic region – a common undivided space in order to finally do away with the Cold War legacy. In view of this Dmitry Medvedev suggested formalizing in the international law the principle of indivisible security as a legal obligation pursuant to which no nation or... Full Story
