Month: March 2026

One of the more idealistic ambitions of the last Soviet leadership was the simultaneous dissolution of both Cold War blocs, NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Only half of that vision came to pass. The Warsaw Pact disappeared in the spring of 1991. NATO didn’t. Instead, it endured and expanded. Over the following decades, the alliance […]

The US-Israel alliance exists to fix the problems created by its existence. The US and Israel have sown death and destruction throughout the middle east for generations, creating generation after generation of survivors who hate them and want them gone, and then it cites the existence of people who hate them and want them gone […]

…was stealthily carried out under the cover and chaos of World War I.  SOTN Editor’s Note: If there’s one utterly savage mafia that would ever degenerate to the level of crucifying defenseless pregnant Armenian women during that 1915-1917 genocide (see photo above), that would be the Khazarian Mafia.  For this notorious enforcement arm of the Khazarian Cabal has proven […]

Summary US troops arrive: More than 3,500 U.S. troops, including the USS Tripoli with about 2,500 Marines, arrived in the Middle East, officials announced Saturday, as strikes in the Iran war intensified Houthis enter the war: Houthis launch their first missile barrage on Israel since Operation Epic Fury. Red Sea shipping could once again be under direct […]

  The Trump administration has led the United States into war with Iran, assuming it could secure a quick victory with limited costs. They were wrong. After more than two weeks of consistent bombing, new US intelligence suggests Iran’s regime is now consolidating power, unlikely to collapse, and led by a cadre more extreme than […]

As mysterious meteorites streaked across the skies in March, capturing the world’s attention, Russia was quietly executing one of its most remarkable technological comebacks. Just four months after a heavy launchpad accident threatened to derail its crewed space program, Roscosmos not only restored the facility in record time but also resumed orbital flights at a […]

The world’s attention is narrowly focused now on the Israeli/American war on Iran, the raids, the bombings, the missiles, the destructions, the killings, the closure of the strait of Hormuz, and the devastating effects on world economy, a war characterized with vague and changing military goals. To understand the real undeclared goals of this seemingly […]

Leonid Radvinsky, the reclusive Jewish billionaire who transformed OnlyFans from a modest subscription platform into a multi-billion dollar pornography empire, died on March 20, 2026, following an alleged battle with cancer. He was 43 years old. “We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle […]

The war in Iran and the resulting energy shock could revive China’s interest in a long-stalled pipeline to import Russian gas, analysts told RFE/RL, potentially reshaping Beijing’s energy strategy. As countries are facing an energy shock after Iran shut the Strait of Hormuz, halting oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) flows from the Gulf, Beijing is grappling […]

A new alliance is forming in the Balkans, aiming to give Kosovo an army and make Belgrade a pariah This Tuesday marks 27 years since the start of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, and the Western Balkans today is drifting toward a dangerously familiar pattern: polarization, militarization, and the construction of rival blocs. At the […]

“War is the health of the state.” That phrase, coined by Randolph Bourne, explains why opposition to war is a priority of many libertarians. War allows governments to increase spending, taxes, and regulations in order to feed the war machine. Wars can justify measures that remain in place long after the wars end. An example […]

Our war against Iran is now three weeks old and the Trump Administration has apparently reached the point of total desperation. The best proof of this came late Friday when Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that America would assist Iran in obtaining a massive inflow of additional funding for its war machine, thereby supporting Iranian […]

Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz—a critical 21-mile-wide maritime passage responsible for 20% of global oil and a third of LNG exports—using drone and missile strikes on commercial tankers, halting millions of barrels of oil and gas shipments. Key Gulf facilities, including Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura refinery, Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG terminals, and […]

“Exit and Build” draws parallels between modern society and the fall of Rome, citing economic instability, political corruption and digital surveillance as accelerating decline. The solution? Exit broken systems and build resilient alternatives. Unlike industrial farming (dependent on chemicals and GMOs), regenerative methods (rotational grazing, no-till farming) heal the land while producing nutrient-dense food. Pioneers […]

I had thought the United States government had hit a new low point last week when the Federal Commission of Fine Arts approved a Semiquincentennial 250th anniversary commemorative 24 karat gold coin featuring President Donald J Trump leaning on his his desk with clenched fists and scowling but that was before Secretary of War Pete Hegseth demanded $200 billion from […]

It is a spectacle to witness the complete mental meltdown of the “leader” of the “free world” and the world’s “sole” superpower. Barely three weeks after his breathless claim of victory, Trump has gone total bananas beyond his usual incoherent self. One wonders whether it is the fog of war that’s corroding his brain or […]

Where the U.S. had not yet concluded its direct military engagement, there is now a risk that the front will reopen. A difficult relationship Where the U.S. had not yet concluded its direct military engagement, there is now a risk that the front will reopen. Relations between Iraq and Iran are among the most complex […]

If the USA is a friend of Europe, then Europe doesn’t need enemies. We have become accustomed to thinking of the relationship between the USA and European countries, especially those in Western Europe, as an irreproachable alliance, a true friendship between peoples. Even more than that, the dominant discourse speaks of a single “Western civilization,” […]

What if the state that claims global military supremacy is now confronting a conflict it cannot win on its own terms? President Trump’s repeated assertions that the US could defeat Iran and force it to surrender are now colliding with battlefield realities and geopolitical fissures that suggest otherwise.  ]The very premise of a quick and […]

The joint operation of the United States and Israel against Iran has clearly not gone according to plan. Despite the elimination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and a number of other high-ranking officials of the country, political chaos did not occur, and forces that could organize the population for mass actions to replace the current regime […]

Many voices in Europe are now saying that Europe should have separated from America long ago, but as always, it is too late. The European political leaders and the incompetent leaders at the top of the European Union (EU), like Ursula von der Leyen, thought they would just sort it all out for their citizens: […]

The tragic irony of the Libyan experience is that its lessons were never truly learned This March marks 15 years since the UN Security Council committed its most consequential error of the 21st century. By authorizing intervention in Libya (Resolution 1973) under the guise of R2P – ‘responsibility to protect’ – the international community acted […]

Price of Gas in Bradenton, FL on March 20 The short answer to the question posed in the title of this article… I don’t know. I do know that some US military personnel, perhaps many, believe that Iran is ready to do this for another 40 years and that the US is never going to […]

We present to you the second part of an exclusive interview with Soviet and Russian political scientist and public figure, candidate of historical sciences, and expert of the Valdai International Discussion Club, Andrei Vadimovich Kortunov, to New Eastern Outlook. Here, we addressed the question of whether Beijing can use its diplomatic savvy to weather the […]

Joe Kent resigned as head of the National Counterterrorism Center in protest of the U.S. war with Iran, citing moral and strategic concerns. In his letter to Donald Trump, Kent said Iran posed “no imminent threat” and claimed the war was influenced by external pressure and misinformation. The conflict has escalated, with Tehran launching widespread […]

America’s retreat from free trade is weakening the economic foundation that sustained Pax Americana for generations. “The Court may have struck down the IEEPA tariffs. But unless the US reverses its protectionist course, the costs will compound.” On February 20, the Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a stinging rebuke. In a 6-3 decision, the […]

The move, possibly accompanied by Patriot batteries, reflects Washington’s urgent need to reinforce missile defenses around Israel and US assets in the Gulf, thus alarming sectors of the South Korean political and military elite. This redeployment in fact also highlights a deeper structural problem: the United States is attempting to manage multiple theaters of confrontation simultaneously while possessing […]

The ledger of losses keeps rising with giddying pace. The US casualty list, for now, remains manageably low, but the military purse is being raided with manic relish. Operation Epic Fury cost US taxpayers $11.3 billion in munitions over the first six days, an estimate that excludes operating and maintenance costs of the engaged military force or the damage […]

For decades, crises in missile exchanges, proxy conflicts, covert operations, and nuclear tensions repeatedly raised fears that such a confrontation could erupt. Those fears have now materialized. What began as a series of escalating military actions has rapidly evolved into a broader regional war. Yet much of the public discussion surrounding this conflict still rests […]

On February 14, the Munich Security Conference (MSC) hosted a high-level event emphasizing water’s essential role in international cooperation, infrastructure investment, climate resilience, and peacebuilding. The event, “Spotlight on the Geopolitics of Water,” positioned water as a driver of geopolitical stability, a potential weapon, and a key factor in diplomacy amid climate challenges. This focus aligns […]

El Mencho was the boss of the New Generation of Jalisco criminal organisation that controlled a major part of a drug business whose tentacles stretched from Mexico to the insatiable North American markets. He managed to build a tight and efficient drug trafficking network which for much of its dirty work, from smuggling to assassination, […]

The American-Israeli war against Iran began a couple of weeks ago and seemed very much a David-vs-Goliath contest, with combat operations likely to be extremely one-sided. In recent years, America’s annual military spending has been roughly a trillion dollars, while Iran’s budget was merely $8 billion. Some estimates put Iran’s true outlays as considerably higher, but hardly […]

One of the potential flashpoints in Northeast Asia is the maritime territory disputed between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of Korea (ROK) in the Yellow Sea. In 2025, the situation escalated into a standoff between the coast guard vessels of the two nations. What is the PMZ and the Background to […]

 Video Link Dear Trump, you senile old pedophile, what in Epstein’s name were you thinking when you gave the order to attack Iran? Or more pertinently, since you’re incapable of anything remotely resembling thinking, who in Epstein’s name were you listening to, and why were you listening to them? Last week you blurted out that Jared, […]

On Friday morning, I taped an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s program to discuss the ongoing Iran War, growing Israeli influence in the U.S., and proliferating attacks on free speech in the West in the name of shielding that one foreign country from critique. (I presume it will air in the next few days.) Perhaps the most notable part […]

Leaders in Latin America, North Africa and the Middle East saw the prosperity of industrial Europe and wanted their own countries to achieve similar affluence. European promoters played on their hope that foreign investors and bankers would build railroads and canals to transport produce for export and earn the foreign exchange needed to modernize their […]

The Russia-Iran strategic partnership – even if does not include a military treaty – works in several interlocked levels. This is part 2 of a two-part analysis. Please read part 1 here. President Putin sent a gracious message to Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, personally congratulating him on his election as Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of […]

The blockade of Hormuz may break the West. But it won’t break China. Let’s cut to the chase: BRICS is in deep coma. Blown up, at least temporarily, by India – which happens to host the BRICS summit later this year. Talk about horrendous timing. India has betrayed, sequentially, both full BRICS members Russia and […]

(Headline photo, the graves of the Iranian schoolgirls killed by USA). Nobody wants to believe they’re the villain in the story. Nobody wants to believe their government is run by psychopaths who are inflicting unfathomable evils upon populations around the globe in order to rule the world. It’s much nicer to believe you’re the Good […]

Jared Taylor, Sam Dickson, and Paul Kersey discuss Carleton Putnam’s “Race and Reason: A Yankee View.” American Renaissance republished this 1961 classic in 2005 but the initial run sold out. Putnam served as CEO of Delta Airlines and sat on its board until his death in 1998. He wrote the book after seeing the horror […]

The main question tormenting the Washington establishment and ordinary citizens alike is: how to escape the trap that, according to many, the cunning Benjamin Netanyahu has pulled the country into? March 2026. The Middle East is ablaze in the most significant conflict since the Arab-Israeli wars. What began as a “retaliatory operation” has rapidly spiraled […]

The Afghanistan-Pakistan conflict on China’s doorstep is challenging the assumptions behind one of the most ambitious geopolitical projects The outbreak of open hostilities between Pakistan and Afghanistan marks the most serious confrontation between the two neighbors since the Taliban returned to power in 2021. After weeks of escalating cross-border clashes and retaliatory strikes, Islamabad declared […]

The rate of adverse events from the abortion pill grew significantly higher after the Biden administration removed the in-person dispensing requirement for the drug. The rate of serious adverse events was 10.15% when a requirement was in effect that women visit health clinics in person to obtain the pill. However, it jumped to 11.50% when […]

In this article, we will examine the likely conclusions and concerns being formed in the two Korean capitals, as well as what lessons can be drawn from these developments, similar to the situation in Venezuela. As for the lessons of the campaign, there are several: Lesson One: The Nuclear Umbrella as a Guarantee of Survival As […]

Everything changed with the Third Gulf War, which began with joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran and has since seen Iran retaliate against all of the Gulf Kingdoms on the basis that the US infrastructure on their territories is being used in attacks against the Islamic Republic. The Strait of Hormuz is now effectively closed and the Gulf Kingdoms are scaling back energy […]

A dramatic and deadly new chapter has unfolded in the rapidly escalating conflict between Iran and the United States. Iranian military officials now claim that hundreds of American troops have been killed or wounded in a sweeping wave of retaliatory strikes carried out across the Middle East in just the past 24 hours. According to Lieutenant Colonel Ibrahim Zulfagari, spokesperson for Iran’s Katam al- Ania […]

A recent report claimed that this megaproject has figured into secret talks between Russia and the US. Berliner Zeitung reported in detail on Le Monde Diplomatique’s paywalled article late last month citing a source allegedly within Gazprom about how the revival of Nord Stream as a joint Russian-US partnership is “absolutely part of secret negotiations” […]

The ongoing US-Israel-Iran war would not only increase inflation but would also trigger a new arms race around the world. Economic Impacts of the US-Israeli Attack on Iran The ongoing US-Israeli attack on Iran has profound strategic and economic impacts on global markets. The US and Israeli attack on Iran has not only revealed President […]

As the unprovoked US aggression on Iran isn’t going as planned (mildly speaking), the mainstream propaganda machine desperately keeps trying to cope with the incompetence of the American military, particularly the failures of the USAF, which is often presented as “invincible”. This is especially true when it comes to the humiliating loss of three F-15E multirole strike […]

March 2 would have been Murray Rothbard’s 100th birthday, so it is only fitting that I devote this week’s column to my great friend and mentor. I have often written about his life, but this time I would like to describe him as I found him in our many conversations, both in person and over […]

Conversation with Alexander Dugin on the Sputnik TV program Escalation. Host: Dear friends, today we are addressing a large and serious topic. Everyone is talking about it right now, and understandably so, because a historic event is unfolding. Let me remind our listeners: on February 28, 2026, a joint operation was launched by the armed forces of […]

The fact that the murder of 165 innocent schoolgirls in Minab was met with silence, while Iran’s response to US-Israeli aggression was met with choreographed condemnation, shows a skewed international order that breeds conflicts. On Arrogant Purveyors of Massacres On March 3, 2026, Iranians laid to rest 165 schoolgirls killed by US and Israel bombing in Minab […]

In this catastrophic war of choice, it is Tehran fighting a rearguard action to restore geopolitical sanity. If Iran loses, god only knows where Israel and the US will drag the world next The admission this week by US secretary of state Marco Rubio, echoed by Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives, that Israel […]

Long before Donald Trump descended the golden escalator, long before he learned to tell campaign crowds what they wanted to hear about ending endless wars and bringing the troops home, he told the world exactly what he intended to do about Iran. He wrote it down. He published it. And almost nobody bothered to read […]

Video Link Young people keep asking me if this was what the Iraq invasion was like. I’ve been telling them “Sort of, but this is way dumber and crazier.” There were fairly intelligent people who bought into the Iraq war propaganda. Many anti-war folk assumed Saddam probably did have weapons of mass destruction — they just didn’t […]

The legendary MIT weapons-scientist Ted Postol, who has always been the best to penetrate through to and analyze the actual evidences in America’s many wars — never the propaganda from the empire’s permanent-war regime — is right now concluding that most of Iran’s missiles are hitting their targets (“The intercept rate is extremely low”; later he […]

A new analysis by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has identified over 100 chemicals, found in thousands of common grocery products, that entered the food supply without FDA safety review. The FDA has repeatedly failed to enforce its own 2016 science-based rule requiring assessment of the cumulative health effects of food additives, neglecting this critical […]

A Global Food Catastrophe Has Been Ignited The United States and Israel have struck Iran, and the consequences are already cascading far beyond the Middle East. This is not merely another regional skirmish; it is the ignition of a global food catastrophe that will unfold with terrifying speed. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery […]

The U.S. shale patch cannot and will not come to the rescue of a potentially catastrophic loss of crude supply from the Middle East as the war in Iran set fire to the world’s most important oil-producing region. The escalating war and the de facto closing of the Strait of Hormuz is threatening to hold […]

Fyodor Lukyanov on how Europe has divided itself again Unlike Paris, London eventually realized that the loss of its colonial empire was inevitable. At a certain point, the British elite even tried to manage the process in a way that would make it less traumatic for the metropolis. The end of empire carried obvious economic […]

The United States and Israel have launched a horrific new war on Iran, but the mainstream media is hiding the true cost to the US military and its installments in West Asia. In this in-depth interview, political analyst and editor of The Cradle Sharmine Narwani joins MintPress director Mnar Adley to break through the “Fog […]

Europe could replace Middle Eastern gas by returning to Russian supplies through the only remaining Nord Stream pipeline, but the issue is that the ruling elites would rather risk economic collapse than seek help from Moscow. Nord Stream 1 and 2 each had two pipes, but Ukrainian divers blew up three, and the remaining one has […]

Iran has dealt several blows to the air defenses of the United States and its allies in the Middle East, degrading their ability to intercept its missiles and drones. The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, and while other countries in the region didn’t join the attack, the Islamic Republic didn’t hesitate to […]

Eric Zuesse’s introduction: Forer CIA analyst Larry Johnson predicted that Trump will be removed from office for this. He has just about the best of all track-records for his predictions coming true, but most of those have been about military matters, and Trump’s ouster would mainly be political. The several polls that have been taken since Trump’s-Netanyahu’s […]

Larry C. Johnson, a former CIA official and intelligence analyst, has written a substantial article arguing that the recent attack on Iran, though undoubtedly tragic and catastrophic, appears to have produced unintended and potentially unfavorable consequences for both the United States and Israel. This development may help explain why the Trump administration has shown renewed […]

Four years on, the Special Military Operation (SMO) reads like Russia, slowly but surely, fulfilling its objectives. The key question remains: when and under what terms Russia will end the SMO. It may not be in 2026. Especially because irrationality permeates the Euro-elites of the disjointed, collective West. They are adamant to extract some sort […]

We may just be reaching the portal of the post-U.S. West Asia order. Ten hours. That’s what it took for Iran to: put the Empire of Chaos, Plunder and Permanent Strikes under siege all across the Gulf. bomb 27 major US military bases, relentlessly – inflicting extensive damage. determine that all US and Israeli assets […]

Over the last few years I’ve begun spending a considerable amount of my time on some YouTube channels, notably those of Judge Andrew Napolitano, Nima Alkhorshid, and Prof. Glenn Diesen, as well as that of the Grayzone. The videos they offer have been most useful for the many excellent guests regularly featured. These include leading academics such as Jeffrey […]

Ukraine’s compulsory mobilization drive to compensate for combat losses has grown increasingly chaotic, violent, and often deadly, with videos emerging over the weekend showing citizens fighting back against conscription officers. In Dnepropetrovsk, a confrontation turned into a spectacle of defiance when draft officers attempted to forcibly conscript a young man on the street on Friday. […]

As the White House threatens war against Cuba, I am reminded of the charming evenings my parents and I spent at Havana’s venerable ‘Floridita Bar, sipping a newly invented cocktail, the Margarita, with the renowned writer, Ernest Hemingway. `Papa’ Hemingway, who then lived in Cuba, loved this island with a great passion and wrote about […]

Currently, Turkish interests and NATO logic are diverging increasingly. Turkish society and expert circles are actively discussing both the prospects of maintaining NATO membership and the possibility of leaving the bloc. Türkiye’s complex relations with Western powers have deep historical roots. During World War II, demonstrating inconsistency in choosing a strategic partner, Türkiye effectively supported […]
