Finian Cunningham writes for Strategic Culture and asks the question of our time:
Should Russia Take the War to NATO States?
It’s certainly risky and not to be contemplated rashly. But what is the alternative?
The United States-led military bloc is a party to the conflict in Ukraine against Russia. In short, NATO is at war with Russia.…

The self-appointed Davos “elites” are afraid. So afraid. At this week’s World Economic Forum meetings, mastermind Klaus Schwab – displaying his trademark Bond villain act – carped over and over again about a categorical imperative: we need “Cooperation in a Fragmented World”.
While his diagnosis of “the most critical fragmentation”…
A discussion:
Following Pepe Escobar, who is following this Davos meeting in detail, the narrative is changing. Davos is the narrative engine, it is the place where the new narrative is frozen in.
