It’s surprising how much time Bloomberg’s writers invested in correcting their audience’s perceptions about the North-South Transport Corridor, which they should sincerely be commended for doing. The only constructive critiques that can be leveled against their report is that it should have been published much earlier and that it predictably ends on the politically self-interested note of implying that the US’ secondary sanctions threats could impede this project. Apart from that, it’s a rare masterpiece from the Mainstream Media.

Le président russe Vladimir Poutine a pris l’Occident à contre-pied en réagissant à l’offensive ukrainienne de Koursk, il y a un mois, qui a été largement célébrée comme un point de basculement dans le conflit. Le conflit est effectivement à un point de basculement aujourd’hui, mais pour une toute autre raison, dans la mesure où les forces russes ont profité de la folie du déploiement par l’Ukraine de ses brigades d’élite et de blindés occidentaux prisés dans la région de Koursk pour atteindre une position indétrônable ces dernières semaines sur les champs de bataille, ce qui ouvre la porte à de multiples options pour l’avenir.

The sequence of events that would have to transpire in order to turn this into a reality are that: the next NATO leader and his team end up being hawkish on this issue; Polish policymakers overcome their differences and agree that it’s worth the risks; and the US gives them the greenlight.

Reuters : Le clan Rothschild a aidé à trouver un accord avec les créanciers privés de l’Ukraine.

L’Ukraine est un petit exemple concret de l’accaparement par certaines hordes financières de pays aujourd’hui privatisés comme de la marchandise et entraînés dans des conflits, puis dans l’esclavagisme de la dette au profit de clans non-politiques désireux de passer à la création d’un État mondial et à l’asservissement total de l’homme, encore mieux bien sûr du trans-homme, à la science financière vulgaire, ce qui est effectivement déjà bien avancé.

Introduction

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 put an end to European security as a cooperative project. That project was grounded in the so-called Helsinki Decalogue, a declaration within the 1975 Helsinki Final Act that laid out agreed principles of conduct between the West and the Soviet bloc.1 In the years and decades that followed, European security grew in complexity and scope, especially after the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the Soviet Union. Arms control agreements, institutional arrangements between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Russia, and the agencies of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) gave an ever denser structure to the security order. That order has collapsed. European security needs now to be reimagined and rebuilt during what promises to be a prolonged period of Russian hostility and obstructionism.

The German daily Die Welt has just revealed the existence of a 17-page peace agreement that could have ended the war in Ukraine just weeks after Russia began its invasion. Negotiators from both sides had worked hard on the agreement between February and April 2022, and the original version of this special document has now been made available to the German media. “In March 2022, only a few conditions were missing for the resolution of the conflict, which was to be ‘negotiated by Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky at a summit meeting – which never took place’”.

This is a premium article for paid subscribers that covers the recent trend of declaring the rebirth of ‘maneuver warfare’ as product of the perceived “success” of the Ukrainian operation in Kursk. In the piece I refute these conclusions by explaining how maneuver warfare is in fact a misunderstood, and deliberately misleading, concept which uses outdated combat stereotypes from WWII and beyond in a disingenuous attempt to paper over shifting modern paradigms.
