The deaths of civilians in Gaza — random but numerous victims of war — are sad and terrible. Two unfortunate peoples who found themselves on the same territory and unable to reconcile are an open wound. Eighteen centuries after the expulsion, the Jews wandered, were despised, and again expelled from everywhere. The Holocaust, when some […]

I hope it is abundantly clear — all these roundabout ways to do with the volunteers for contract service might be connected with the Russian government’s fears that carrying out a new mobilization might cause less positive sentiments among the general population. That is why the word “mobilization” is seems to be put on the […]

Legendary whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg has died at the age of 92. Daniel Ellsberg had a brilliant career in the US law enforcement agencies in the 1960s. He received three degrees from Harvard, served in the Marine Corps, and worked for the Pentagon and its affiliated RAND Corporation. At the time, he was a dedicated Cold […]

I am constantly asked the question: “What do you propose we do?” My answer is: The new is the well-forgotten old. I propose to return to the “strategy of a madman” or in other words “the theory of a madman”, the author of which is Machiavelli. As far back as the 15th century, the Italian […]
