For Ak., Anna, Claude, Fred, Jv., Pepe, Scott And Tatiana Who Believed In Me About the Author About the Saker’s Blogs Foreword by Pepe Escobar Preface Introduction: “Submarines in the desert” (as my deepest gratitude to you)

Introduction Modest beginnings at first The big wars of 2013 The deserts are filled with submarines (but they are breaking free!) My gratitude to you

Part I: Russia and Islam Russia and Islam, part one: introduction and definitions Russia and Islam, part two: Russian Orthodoxy Russia and Islam, part three: internal Russian politics Russia and Islam, part four: “Islam” as a threat Russia and Islam, part five: “Islam” as an ally Russia and Islam, part six: the Kremlin Russia and Islam, part seven: the weatherman’s cop out

The main paradox Personalizing ideas

Russia and Islam, part eight: working together, a basic “how-to”

Irreconcilable theological differences between Christianity and Islam A perfect opportunity—the Russian Constitution Conclusion A special word to any naysayers

Part II: Russia and the Ukraine Ukraine’s “civilizational choice”—a Pyrrhic victory for Russia?

What is “The Ukraine” really? Who has been running the Ukraine since independence? The Ukraine between the EU and the Russian-backed customs union A “civilizational choice” made by a small corrupt elite? The real objective of the Anglo-Zionist Empire in the Ukraine Russian objectives in the Ukraine Are the Russian objectives in the Ukraine realistic? The big difference Ukraine’s “civilizational choice”—a Pyrrhic victory for Russia?

The gates of Hell are opening for the Ukraine

The Eurobureaucrats and the Ukrainian nationalists The supposedly “pro-Russian” Eastern Ukrainians The real risks for Russia Sarajevo on the Dnieper Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’entrate?

Ukrainian nationalism—its roots and nature

Follow up to my post about the roots and nature of Ukrainian nationalism How the Ukrainian crisis will eventually bring down the Anglo-Zionist Empire One more attempt at clarifying my position on Russian options

One more issue: a US nuclear threat to Russia?

Part III: Russia and The West The real meaning of the South Ossetian war: Russia strikes back The power struggle inside the Kremlin is gradually emerging into the open A new Cold War has begun—let us embrace it with relief! 1993-2013: is the twenty years long “pas de deux” of Russia and the USA coming to an end?

When did the Soviet Union truly disappear? From 1993 to 1999—a democratic nightmare The legacy left by the liberals/‌democrats Who really put Putin into power? An absolutely brilliant formula but which has now outlived its shelf life In the meantime—the US gets neoconned In comes Barack Obama—“change we can believe in!” The current real power matrix in the USA and Russia The USSR and the USA—back to the future? The historical roots of the russophobia of the American elites Anti-American sentiment in Russia Anti-Russian feelings in the USA? Western elites—still stuck in the Cold War Conclusion: “we are everywhere”

Remembering the important lessons of the Cold War Making sense of Obama’s billion dollar hammer Thinking the unthinkable

Introduction The American Duck Plan one: a symbolic and limited intervention Plan two: a tripwire force Plan three: UPROFOR on the Dnieper? Plan four: Operation Storm in Novorossiya and Crimea? Plan five: first “Desert Steppe Shield” then “Desert Steppe Storm” Plan six: American football’s “Hail Mary” My biggest fears But what does Uncle Sam really want?

The Russian response to a double declaration of war

The context: a double declaration of war Sniping at Putin and missing the point Sincere frustration or intellectual dishonesty? Trying to make sense of an apparently illogical policy A quick look at Putin’s record Imperatives Russia cannot ignore But what about the oligarchs? But is there a 5th column in Russia? The real danger for Russia Conclusion: a key to Russian policies?

Yet another huge diplomatic victory for Russia Part IV: Anglo-Zionism Anglo-Zionist: Short primer for the newcomers

1) Anglo 3) Anglo-Zionist My personal opinion now

Daddy—what’s a ‘neocon‘?! Ethnic mafia wars is the USA

So who will prevail?

How a medieval concept of ethnicity makes NATO commit yet another a dangerous blunder

But why does the West hate Russia so much?

Part V: Russia and China Today’s Victory Day celebrations in Moscow mark a turning point in Russian history

The past The present The future Conclusion

A Tale of Two World Orders (Unz Review column)

A tale of two world orders

Part VI: Je ne suis pas Charlie Je ne suis pas Charlie

I am NOT Charlie Charlie Hebdo for the Darwin Awards “Spitting in people’s souls” Are some victims more equal than others?

In the Charlie Hebdo psyop double standards, logical fallacies and crass ignorance are everywhere Part VII: Syria and Iran What could a sustained air campaign by the US/‌NATO/‌CENTCOM supported by numerous cruise missile strikes really achieve in Syria? Obama makes a strategic mistake in Syria and now its “GAME OVER” for the US strategy for the Middle East What does the civil war in Syria really mean for Iran, Russia and China?

The creation of an anti-Shia front: The USA has re-grouped and has Iran surrounded: The civil war in Syria as the litmus test of Western power: Conclusion: an international anti-Shia coalition

Is a Syrian “domino effect” being used in a power struggle in the US deep state?

The new President of Iran P5+1? Domino 1: Barack Obama accepts Putin’s gambit Domino 2: the USA and Iran finally agree on the nuclear issue. Domino 3: the two big losers—Saudi Arabia and Israel Domino 4: goodbye US anti-missile “defense shield” in Europe? Domino 5: an end to the European “Drang nach Osten”? A project of the “USA-firsters”? How far can the US really go? Conclusion: a real window of opportunity

Part VIII: The French Resistance Israel lobby commits major blunder in France: tries to silence a comedian Dieudonné’s anti-Zionist campaign in full swing in France Is a new revolution quietly brewing in France? “Quenelle warfare” in France—a “report from the trenches” State repression in France only makes the Resistance grow stronger

“Personalities lynch-mob” level: State level: Zionist panic: When and how could such a “Liberation” occur?

Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov in the USSR—Soral and Dieudonné in France France’s CRIF-run regime has unleashed a vicious persecutions campaign against dissidents The Resistance in France—suppressed, but not broken Part IX : The West And Sex Moscow bans homosexual “pride” parades for the next 100 years Will pedophilia be the next paraphilia to be declared a “normal and positive variation” of human sexuality? A society of sexually frustrated Pinocchios Homo logic applied to the Olympics and sports in general One last mention of an incredibly boring topic (or how to deal with obnoxious single-issue insecure narcissistic minorities) Part X: Russian Military The Russia-U.S. Conventional Military Balance

Why bean counting makes absolutely no sense “Heavy” warfare Light (or rapid reaction) warfare Shock and awe

The Meaning of the US Saber-Rattling at the Borders of Russia Russia plans to invite India, Pakistan and Iran into the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)

The myth of the soft underbelly of Russia Conclusion

Part XI: Religion Off-topic but apparently needed: Judaism and Christianity—back to basics

Online texts on ecclesiology (what is the Church?):

Part XII: Varia How I became a 9/‌11 “truther”

What about the Pentagon?!

Why am I not hearing the endless rumble of jaws dropping to the floor?! (UPDATED!) Saker’s “man of the year 2013”: the Syrian soldier

Runner up: Vladimir Putin Saker’s Man of the Year 2013: the Syrian soldier Special distinction: Hassan Nasrallah

The 2014 “Saker’s Man of the Year”: the Russian soldier

The 2014 Saker man of the year nomination goes to the masked Russian solider: the “Polite Men in Green” and the Novorossian Volunteer. The runner up(s): Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinpin Special distinction: Ramzan Kadyrov

The Empire’s war against the Serbian nation: lessons for the Resistance US fabricated excuses for military intervention from Markale to Ghouta? A few basic reminders about wars, civil wars and human rights My love-hate relationship with Marxists

Their uncompromising stance on capitalism Their focus on revolutionary change Their understanding of class struggle Their futile attempts at explaining, justifying or even denying the crimes of Marxist mass murderers. Their narrow-minded hostility toward religions The Marxists are still unable to understand the role of religion today
