History is full of Anglo-Saxons arranging wars for their interests, and shifting unprofitable ones over to the world, for instance in the Suez Crisis of 1956.

At the end of August, Russian and foreign media published some declassified materials from the archives of Russia about the subversive plans of London, Paris and Ankara in the spring of 1940, aimed at destroying Soviet oil facilities and pipelines in the Caucasus to facilitate the collapse of the USSR. What are they warning current anti-Russian actors of?

The crisis has erupted in the United Kingdom, particularly in the deindustrialised regions of the North. It’s a return to the 1970s, without the IRA, but with an even greater potential for inter-community conflict, due to the growth of parallel societies, the result of half a century of reckless immigration policies, in line with the current economic paradigm, orientated solely towards quick profits and the concentration of wealth.

In the spring of 2024, the Australian Government adopted the first National Defence Strategy in its history. It is designed to identify completely new approaches to ‘protecting the country and its interests’. Over the past decade, the country has been aggressively increasing military construction and has now officially consolidated this process in its course of development. How are Australian military and political ambitions impacting the South Pacific region?

With the support of the United Kingdom, Turkey is actively developing a revanchist policy within the framework of the doctrines of non-pan-Turanism and neo-Ottomanism, which is not being met with opposition from the US and EU. At the same time, Ankara is trying to take advantage of anti-Russian pressure from the West and Moscow’s preoccupation with the Ukrainian crisis.

After the dust from the UK election has settled, we can see the “Curse of Zelensky” has struck again—and without limits. This is the online joke about how any leader photographed shaking hands with the Ukrainian “leader for life” soon ends up with the punishment  “comeuppance” at the hands of the disgruntled electorate.

At the end of June, the Japanese imperial couple paid a seven-day visit to the United Kingdom. Some aspects of this event and a number of accompanying political events in Japan, which is becoming one of the most important participants in the current stage of the “Great World Game”, are undoubtedly of interest…

Keir Starmer, the UK’s first Labour prime minister in 14 years, has made many pledges to ‘renew’ the UK after Rishi Sunak’s appalling term. A prolific barrister turned politician, Starmer has seen a steep rise in his political career. He has vowed to make positive changes in the public services that the Brits are currently struggling with. However, with the UK economy in shambles, and a severe lack of funds, it remains to be seen whether he can really change the UK for the better.

The decline of Western civilisation has been vividly demonstrated in recent days. The debate between the two US presidential candidates on 27 June caused confusion not only in America itself, but also in many European countries, and even caused panic in the US Democratic Party – it became clear that Biden’s physical and cognitive data simply did not allow him to serve another four-year term.

I think the right hand did not know what the left was doing and they both washed their hands of Julian Assange, as what did he do that was so bad? A topic to reflect upon in retrospect, especially in light of the BIGGER scheme of things, and knowing how secret intelligence agencies work, especially how they operate between and against one another—and in the face of changing times and political expediencies.

UK ministers instructed the country’s internal intelligence Body, MI5, to focus on Russia, China, and Iran, and not terrorists as was reported in several outlets (here). The directive suggests that terrorists will not be attacking the UK, despite being resurgent in 2024 and attacking Russia’s Crocus Mall, Iran, and Chinese citizens in Pakistan in attacks killing hundreds of civilians. Why is the UK letting down guards on terrorists and training guns on countries targeted by extremists?

D. Cameron’s trip, which took place in the last decade of April 2024, was the first ever consecutive visit of the UK Secretary of State for Foreign…
