Your world at risk. How the impossible becomes the inevitable.
Back in February, Robert Samuelson, one of America’s top economic commentators, began his Washington Post column with a critique of China:
It’s become apparent from recent events that America’s political, business and scholarly elites have fundamentally misjudged China. Conflicts with China have multiplied. Consider: the undervalued renminbi and its effect on trade; the breakdown of [...]
Iran’s parliament passed a law on Sunday earmarking $20 million to support terror groups opposing the West and investigate alleged US and British plots against the Islamic republic.

Most people reading this have strong stomachs, so let me lay it out as baldly as I can: Much of what we loosely call the Western world will not survive this century, and much of it will effectively disappear within our lifetimes, including many if not most Western European countries. There’ll probably still be a [...]
Is Anyone in Washington Listening?
Furthermore, at the Davos World Economic Forum Russian and Chinese leaders tried to send their Western counterparts a very important message: “You can borrow and print as much money as you like. Just don’t expect us to hang on to your currencies in our hundreds of billions in cash reserves when [...]

“This is very significant.

The spread of freedom and the West standing up to it.
The Russian state’s open hostility, not only toward Georgia but also toward Ukraine and the Baltic states, is, in this sense, partly ideological. Genuine elections have taken place in all these countries; people who have not been preselected by the ruling oligarchy sometimes gain wealth [...]
In recent years, Moscow started to think that it could most easily express its dissatisfaction with Western politics by resorting to old Cold War cliches. The Kremlin does not like that Ukraine and Georgia want to join NATO, therefore it claimed that Western military bases will inevitably be built in those countries and that they [...]
Recently we have witnessed a flurry of high-profile and contradictory statements on the Russian state. In a role reversal, Russia’s leaders have been abnormally candid while several prominent western politicians and pundits have lavished undeserved praise.
Russian president Dmitri Medvedev was bold enough last week to state that democracy is irrelevant to the Group of Eight [...]
NARGIS POSES HUMANITARIAN DILEMMA
The stubbornness of Burma’s military junta puts the West into a hopeless situation.
