Western policy in Syria and Ukraine has failed. Monday's events at the UN, suggest a change of tack. A new, more stable, international order could take hold.

As wretched as the violence on the streets of Kiev as Euromaidan began to tear Ukraine apart. [...]

It is widely known as Zionism or, as I call it, more accurately, I suggest … Rothschild Zionism. I add the ‘Rothschild’ to constantly emphasise the true creators of [...]

It is increasingly difficult to watch the most recent coverage of the Syrian war and not be struck by how utterly illogical and convoluted it has become. But look through the media spin and it’s clear: the Russian leader's steady moves in Syria is perplexing the US.

The Daily Beast has spectacularly failed to do math, but why should we be surprised. In fact we’re here to help. Spewing unverified and plain wrong data from years back (though falsely presenting it as relevant) they try to claim RT’s popularity ain’t all that. “Of all the YouTube clips watched over five years, 81 percent—344 million views went to videos of natural disasters, accident [...]
