Published 2019-09-13 18:15:25 by Drago Bosnic in Crime, Eu, Eurasia, Finance, Germany, Headline-News, Nato, Poland, Politics, Propaganda, Russia, UkraineBRUSSELS/MOSCOW - The European Court rescinded the European Commission's decision, which entitled Gazprom to run the OPAL natural gas pipeline at full capacity. The pipeline, which is 480 kilometers (300 miles) long, laid through Germany, connects the Nord Stream with the main European natural gas pipelines. The Czech Republic receives Russian gas through it, then transports it to the southern member-states and regions of the EU, such as Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy. Thus far, it seems that Poland, a staunch US ally, and along with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the most Russophobic European Union member-state, is trying to undermine... Continue ->

Russian Alcoholism: Reality or Myth (VIDEO)
Published 2019-09-13 17:45:59 by Drago Bosnic in Eurasia, Headline-News, RussiaMOSCOW - When thinking of stereotypes regarding Russia, people often think of Matryoshka dolls (famously and erroneously known as Babushka dolls), The Bear, AK-47, Space, Russian authors, Communism, ICBMs, Putin, etc. However, there are many negative ones, and one of the most persistent ones is the mythical Russian alcoholism. When thinking about an average Russian, a regular person outside Russia and the former USSR (especially in the West, thank you MSM) might think of an Addidas tracksuit guy, riding a bear, holding an AK-47 in one hand and a bottle vodka in the other (try reading it in a Russian...

Macron: The End of Western Hegemony over the world
Published 2019-09-13 17:18:50 by Tom Winter in Eurasia, France-Eurasia, Headline-NewsWe find this Political analysis by Ramon Schack * in Multiperspektivisch French President Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron recently delivered a brilliant speech on the foreign policy objectives of Paris, a speech which regrettably received little attention from the German public. This may say something about the state of Franco-German relations, or it may well be due to the level of geopolitical debate in political Berlin -- about whose poverty you should not be under any illusions! This speech, which was more like a comprehensive analysis, was marked by a poignant sense of reality, as it is rather an exception today... Continue ->

They simply need another Russophobic trope, literally anything that could showcase the "evil Russia, evil Putin threatening our freedom and democracy". And even when they can't find literally anything, they do what they're best at. They LIE. Big time. They lie so much, that even the US President Trump has openly and repeatedly called them FAKE NEWS, which they most definitely are. Primarily because they did all... Continue ->

Apart from the Brexit boondoggle, another front could soon be opening. And the battleground is none other than the backbone of the EU - Germany. Deep changing processes are also developing in German politics, although they aren't as dramatic as in the UK. However, they could drastically change the situation in the country in the coming years, and not only in the country but in the entire Old World. The regional elections in the east of Germany, in the states of Brandenburg and Saxony, now attract lots... Continue ->
