23.03.2015 WASHINGTON’S WAR ON RUSSIA
by Mike Whitney

Thirty years ago, the historian and diplomat George F.

10.02.2015 THE MESSAGE OF SYRIZA’S VICTORY
By Mark Weisbrot, CounterPunch, February 3, 2015
Everyone seems to agree that Syriza’s big victory in Greece is a milestone for Europe, which has been plagued by mass unemployment and a failure to really recover from the financial crisis and world recession of 2008-09.

02.02.2015 PEACE INSTEAD OF NATO
By Oskar Lafontaine
For the vast majority of the population of the former Federal Republic, NATO has been the guarantor of peace and freedom for a long time. Anti-communism, fuelled by the fear of the Soviet Union operated by the world revolution, the Berlin Blockade and the construction of the Berlin Wall left little room to think about alternatives to NATO.

12.01.2015 NATO: DANGER TO WORLD PEACE
By Immanuel Wallerstein
The official mythology is that between 1945 (or 1946) and 1989 (or 1991), the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR) confronted each other continuously – politically, militarily, and above all ideologically.

22.12.2014 VIEWING RUSSIA FROM THE INSIDE
By George Friedman
Last week I flew into Moscow, arriving at 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 8. It gets dark in Moscow around that time, and the sun doesn't rise until about 10 a.m. at this time of the year — the so-called Black Days versus White Nights.
