RUSSIA - US RELATIONS: CAN THEY IMPROVE?

This is an important post from Regis Tremblay - an American living in Crimea, Russia.

I'm afraid everything he says is correct. US (and UK) policy is run by the CIA/MI6 and Anglo-American big business. As the US/UK lose in Ukraine they will escalate. I'm afraid 2026 looks very, very bleak.

If the aim is effective government, India simply doesn't compare to China.  And so is western democracy the ONLY way in which good governance can be achieved? It clearly is not - especially in the days of mass propaganda dominated by wealth and associated corruption. What the festishisation of western democracy does is place 'democracy' above effective government. People are increasingly irritated by the so-called deomocratic process because it frequently fails to address their needs. 'Liberal Orientalism  differs from classical Or...
