Political Situation in Israel — Commentary on Duran’s Latest Video
Here Alexander Mercouris is analyzing the reasons for the political unrest in Israel. I would provide another point of view. According to Alexander, the main reason for push against Netanyahu is his failures to bring home results on diplomatic fronts with US, the “East” (Russia, China etc.) and especially the Muslim Middle East. For me…

One Year Anniversary: Crisis Wasted
Though a war is a terrible thing, especially a civilian war, a crisis always presents possibility to break out of stagnation of stale incompetency and slow creeping decay of corruption.

The balloon was shot down. Some reports suggest it wasn’t the only one — at least one other was flying other US in similar trajectory to the first one, and yet another one is flying other South America heading north. Point #1.

Thoughts about the Ukrainian Offenses at Kherson and Izyum Fronts
We saw two significant Ukrainian offenses at Kherson and Izyum fronts. The first, it seems, has already failed, and the second, it seems, has already succeeded. The measure of success or failure for Ukrainian side here lies in the realm of propaganda (not necessarily in a negative sense) benefits, not in a strategical military sense.…

Effectiveness of the Western MLRS against Russian Targets
I have already touched this topic here and here, but I will add some thoughts and speculations, since this issue had a recent development. To summarize the points Alexander Mercouris and his guest make, the US-supplied M142 HIMARS have apparently shown (according to Ukrainian sources) some good success in engaging Russian or allied targets. Alexander…
