Why are Democrats so undisciplined and Republicans so regimented? The asymmetry explained Chuck Schumer couldn’t hold his senators together at a time when their unity and toughness were essential. Yet Trump cracks the whip and gets all Republicans to do his bidding. Does this mean Schumer should go? Yes. But the problem runs deeper — […]

The first stage of the “deal” between Israel and Hamas was a breakthrough. Further steps are not only unprepared… it’s unclear where to step. The visit of the new Syrian leader (and previously an active member of various organizations banned in Russia and elsewhere) Ahmed al-Sharaa (invariably referred to as al-Sharaa in the US) to […]

In New York, an immigrant socialist was elected mayor, in New Jersey and Virginia, female Democrats became governors, and in California, a regulation on changing electoral districts was adopted. In the USA, on November 4, there was, as we would say, a single day of voting. In the USA, this is called the election night […]

Everyday life of the standoff in the US capital: Trump to Alaska — the mayor will return. As law enforcement agencies in the capital District of Columbia are subordinated to the federal, as we would say, center, and an operation to cleanse Washington of homeless people, drug addicts and other “undesirable elements” begins, Washington Mayor […]

When the left agree with the right in calling not to participate in war. Donald Trump can join neither. And the establishment is waiting for him in the center. It is worth noting that the mainstream press and high-ranking Democrats have so far remained silent about the exchange of blows between Israel and Iran. Under […]

National Guard units are being deployed to Los Angeles and satellite towns. US President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of California National Guard units to Los Angeles and satellite towns of the “homeland of cinema” (the hottest part of the night was at Paramount). This was done despite protests from the state governor Gavin […]

My great-uncle, Colonel Alexei Afanasyevich Reshetnikov, was wounded twice during the Battle of Moscow. At the end of the war, as Deputy Chief of the Artillery Supply Directorate of the 2nd Belorussian Front, he took part in the largest battles with the Nazis. He was awarded two Orders of the Red Banner, the Order of […]

Using the support of the European “deep state” and the super-obedient French justice system, Emmanuel Macron has neutralized, as he sees it, the main political threat — Marine Le Pen. The court has banned her from running for office, which means she will not participate in the 2027 presidential elections. This maneuver has been in […]

Of the four territories that Donald Trump has his eye on (Greenland, the Panama Canal, Canada and the Gaza Strip), it is Greenland that he wants to get the most. It is not only because of its vast territory, which is larger than Mexico. And not only because of its mineral resources, which are plentiful […]

US President Donald Trump received consent from both of them to a partial ceasefire during two telephone conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin (March 18) and current Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky (March 19). Moscow and Kiev basically agreed to a ban on attacks on “energy facilities”. Putin said that he had given the order for […]
