The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting behind closed doors amid the war between Israel and the Gaza Strip, but failed to reach the unanimity needed to pass a joint statement or resolution. Already, at least 1,100 people have been killed since the Hamas terrorist group, which controls the Gaza Strip, launched an offensive […]

The conflict in Ukraine could escalate into an international one, and the use of nuclear weapons is also possible — a new report has been released about this by the RAND Corporation, traditionally called the “shadow CIA” and the “Pentagon at a distance.” RAND publishes three possible scenarios for “unintended” escalation: 1.

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.

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 […]

I didn’t watch the terrible footage of the execution of our soldiers who had surrendered. When I realized that they surrendered with weapons and combat equipment in their hands, and only one of them took the fight and died in this fight, and the rest were COOL, then from the point of view of the […]

Now in the world it is more alarming than ever. In fact, it is on the verge of a nuclear conflict between the two largest powers. The stumbling block in tense relations between Russia and the United States was the special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. But what are the interests of […]

It is pointless to look for a way out in a hopeless situation — it is not there. However, history knows many examples when, in force majeure circumstances, a strategist changed the circumstances themselves and already in them, instead of avoiding losses, received new great opportunities. 60 years of the XI century AD the Song […]
