Latest piece. Much of the US discussion is unwilling to accept the end of the American Age in the Persian Gulf. However, look closely and the states themselves are acknowledging it, even undermining the US blockade on the assumption the US is in retreat. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

Moscow has already drawn up an "indictment" against the Baltic states. Russia is following exactly the same stages as it did with Ukraine. The final stage is the announcement of a "denazification" operation. We have already seen and heard all of this in 2014 and 2022.

Poland has charged five current and former senior managers at state energy giant Orlen over fuel price cuts the firm made ahead of the 2023 parliamentary election, which were widely seen as a way of boosting the campaign of the then-ruling PiS party.

The stark reality is that Putin’s strategic goal is the EU’s destruction and Ru political control over as much of Europe as possible. Wherever he succeeds will be unfree, just like the Soviet Bloc was, and therefore any European who doesnt want to defend from Russia now is an enemy of freedom.
