Britain, Europe and Military Power—Editorial 2
British governments, together with their media servants, have been telling us for many years that Russia is an enemy. When the Special Military Operation began in Ukraine in early 2022 it was confidently asserted that the Russians were militarily incompetent and would fail against the Ukrainians. In reality Russia launched a pre-emptive strike against a … Continue reading Britain, Europe and Military Power—Editorial 2
The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance
The War in Iran Sahra's official information channel, [22/06/2025] The biggest of all rogue states has done it again: the USA has invaded a sovereign state with its war of aggression against Iran, in violation of international law.

Peace or Primacy—Editorial 2
There is nothing in the recent history of the US to suggest that it would ever choose peace over primacy.

Starmer’s Pointless Missiles—Editorial 2
Keir Starmer’s decision to assist Ukraine in shooting UK supplied weapons into Russia is puzzling for many reasons. Firstly, it is not going to affect the outcome of the war in Ukraine. Secondly, it is not going to change the conditions which Russia would require in any peace deal. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, it … Continue reading Starmer’s Pointless Missiles—Editorial 2
The United States policy towards Europe’s energy needs
Part One — an early experience Eamon Dyas The way in which Europe is currently committing a slow economic suicide in the wake of what is effectively a US geopolitical exercise in Ukraine stands in marked contrast with what happened in 1981-82.
