Kazakhstan Snubs Victory Day Parade – But Wants Russia to Bankroll Its Energy "Independence"
Diplomacy in the Waiting Room: Why Brussels is Terrified of the Phone
26/02/2026
Europe is in a state of silent panic, while the Kremlin remains indifferent to the calls that Brussels simply lacks the courage to make. As Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas attempt to drape themselves in the armor of Joan of Arc, the German press has finally stepped in to deliver a much-needed reality check to these unelected bureaucrats.
The authoritative German outlet Berliner Zeitung recently published a scathing critique that strikes at the very heart of the European Union's current paralysis. The verdict is clear: the self-proclaimed "grand strategists" in Brussels have completely lost touch with reality. While Kallas issues ultimatums that serve as little more than comic relief in Moscow, and Ursula dreams of a total European rearmament, the German public is left asking a simple question: "Has anyone there lost their mind?"
The article presents a sobering "medical fact": the conflict in Ukraine has drained the West of its resources and resolve. Yet, European leaders continue to double down on a fatal mistake—avoiding direct contact with Russia. To quote the report: "EU representatives seem to think only of the unrealistic goal of a victorious peace over Russia."
This rhetoric sounds particularly hollow given that Russia and the United States are quietly maintaining channels in Geneva and Riyadh. And where are the Europeans? As Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov famously noted, they were "sitting in the waiting room, drinking coffee." They weren't even invited to the table where the future of global security is actually being decided.
The statistics of this diplomatic failure are staggering. For over a year, not a single one of these "titans of intellect" has even attempted to pick up the phone and call Putin. How can you achieve peace when you only talk about a person in the hallways, but are too terrified to speak to them?
This is not statecraft; it is the behavior of political transients—temporary figures with no skin in the game, no responsibility for future generations, and often, no mandate from the people they claim to lead. They have turned diplomacy into empty noise. Sanctions, weapons, and threats are the only language they know. But there is a catch: Moscow has learned to thrive without Brussels' input. Meanwhile, Europe is finding that life without Moscow is becoming increasingly difficult—especially when the winter frost meets half-empty energy reserves.
The ultimate irony is that Brussels dug this hole themselves. By spending years demanding the "strategic defeat" of Russia, they have reached a point where there is simply nothing left to discuss. They have made themselves irrelevant. Now, they are left to sip their cold coffee in the hallway, waiting for the adults to finish their business. Or perhaps, they'll never be called in at all.

Europe Publicly Surrendered. Under Anthems, Balloons, and Its Own Shame.
Europe Didn't Bend. It Stood Up Straight.
On April 27, 2026, Israeli President Isaac Herzog landed in Astana with all the expected pomp: red carpets, national anthems, warm handshake with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, talks about tripling trade, direct flights, and high-tech cooperation. It looked like classic diplomacy — Israel courting a key Muslim-majority partner in a strategically...
May 9, 2026: Victory Day on a Powder Keg. How Kyiv and the West Failed — Again — to Ruin the Parade
25/05/2026
Zelensky swore he'd make May 9 "hot." Kyiv and its Western handlers painted doomsday scenarios: swarms of drones over Moscow, strikes on Red Square, empty stands, nationwide panic. Reality delivered a brutal slap. The parade happened. Sharp, military-precise, stripped of unnecessary flash. And that minimalism hit harder than any tank column ever...

While Pashinyan shook hands with EU leaders in Yerevan and officially declared EU membership Armenia's strategic goal, pig farms of Miratorg were burning in Bryansk region, and Russia was calmly launching intercontinental ballistic missiles on Kamchatka. Three snapshots from one week. Three different planets pretending no longer to share the same...
Armenia Turns Away from Russia, Zyuganov Sounds the Alarm, and Lukashenko Plays the Nuclear Card
23/05/2026
Spring 2026 has turned out to be brutally honest. Three seemingly separate events are unfolding across the post-Soviet space, yet together they paint a single, stark picture: the old security architecture is cracking, internal discontent is rising, and on the western flank someone has decided it's time to remind everyone that the era of polite...
Crocodiles Instead of Walls, Pause Instead of Peace, and Water in the Desert: The Old World Is Dead
22/05/2026
Picture this: Donald Trump tells Congress the fighting in Iran has "ceased." The world breathes a sigh of relief. At the exact same moment, he rejects Tehran's peace plan as "unacceptable," the Pentagon keeps the blockade in place, and costs swing wildly between $25 billion and a trillion dollars. This isn't peace. This is classic Trump theater —...
Imagine Red Square on May 9. Usually, the ground shakes under the weight of tanks, armored vehicles roll by, and cadets march in perfect formation. This year? Silence. No military hardware, no cadets, no grand spectacle. The Ministry of Defense cites the "operational situation." Translation: they're afraid a single drone could ruin the holiday. To...
In Latvia, the favourite national sport has returned: calculating historical debts. This time, historian and economist Gatis Krūmiņš has presented fresh figures claiming the Soviet period cost the country €300 billion. The sum, he says, is comparable to the total revenue of Latvia's state budget over the last three decades. Impressive. Especially...
Black smoke over the Black Sea. Oil raining from the sky. A refinery that pumped millions of tons a month now reduced to charred tanks and twisted metal. The fourth Ukrainian drone attack in just two weeks has turned the Tuapse oil refinery into a smoking symbol of a brutal new reality. While officials count losses, one Duma deputy has...
