Something very strange seems to have happened to former professor of Moscow State Institute of International Relations, historian and political scientists Valery Solovei, who used to be one of the most incisive and accurate Russian political analysts. Now however 🙄
Here is my
translation of znak.com/2020-09-24/pol….
Political scientist, doctor of historical sciences and publicist Valery Solovey in an interview with Ukrainian TV presenter Dmitry Gordon admitted that he is an "associate member" of some powerful secret organization.
There are forces and persons whose influence surpasses any force. In particular, they are stronger than the FSB, stronger than the Foreign Intelligence Service, stronger than the General Staff. These are international non-governmental organizations, let's call them that.
There are several such organizations in the world. I am an associate member of the East European branch of one of these organizations,” said Solovei.
He stated that this organization is not related to the Freemasons or Templars, and also that it is "not an occult organization."

Solovei also added that membership in this Organisation allows him "to have access into fairly wide circles of the establishment, and not only in
Russia, but also in the EU and North America.
The Russian leadership knows about the existence of this organization, it turned to its services at one time. It obtained these services.
The Russian leadership knows that this organization is not only highly effective, but also dangerous. I am not kidding. And this organization provides me with some security guarantees. It cannot provide me with absolute guarantees,
but my level of safety and protection is quite high, ”said Solovei.

He also said that there are several such societies in the world and now "almost all of them are in conflict with the Kremlin."
Dmitry Gordon didn’t openly display any skepticism during the interview, but Solovei, “in order not to make baseless claims,” offered Gordon that he could connect him with a representative of this organization. Gordon did not reply to the offer.

Nixon is only partly right about Israel’s intelligence. In fact, Israel was well aware of Egyptian and Syrian mobilisation for war. The question was how to interpret it, because the Arabs were using a standard trick - repeated “exercises” that looked like preparation for invasion
To counter this, Israel would have to mobilise every time, which was very costly for its economy. So Dayan and ultimately Golda Meir had to decide what to do. However, Dayan believed that the Arabs were sufficiently deterred and would not initiate a real war but were only
trying to wear out Israel economically. The reason why he thought so was because Israel was believed to possess clear superiority in the air. This was not taking into account the new hand held ground to air missiles the Soviets had provided to the Egyptians. More importantly,

I am inclined to think that Trump really wanted to make a deal with Iran (for which, in his mind, he would have deserved a Nobel prize) but as Khamenei would not go along, he agreed to go along with Netanyahu’s plans. I think Bibi has so far played this masterfully- in anybody
in this affair is a chess player - it’s him. Winning over Trump was not easy as Trump is actually very risk averse but Netanyahu persuaded him that he would take all the risk of things going wrong and Trump would get the credit for success. I am inclined to believe that Trump’s
reluctance to support Israel’s action was real, but its effect was to lull Iran into a false sense of security. The evidence that Trump was hedging his bets is Rubio’s early statement, already after Israeli strikes began, that the U.S. had nothing to do with them and was not

Paradoxically, the stinginess and slowness of the U.S. military air to Ukraine under Biden, has had several good consequences.
1. It forced Ukraine, in spite of many obstacles due to corruption, bureaucracy and incompetence of its politicians, to start developing its own
weapons industry. On some areas, especially cheap drones it is now way ahead of what the U.S. can deliver (American drones have been one of the greatest disappointments). Moreover, in spite of all the obstacles put in their way by Ukrainian monopolies owned by powerful oligarchs,
most of the drones are now produced by small private enterprise, which is displaying far greater capacity for innovation than the Russians.
2. Because American aid was relatively small and unsophisticated, Europe is now capable of replacing most of it.

You can really tell a lot about people on X by using the Sherlock Holmes’s principle of “the odd that did not bark”. All you need to do is to observe what topics people are silent about.
When Biden was POTUS, it was not uncommon for conservative Never-Trumpers to keep silent on
topics that showed the Biden administration in a bad light. In some cases that included even the wave of antisemitism that swept over the Democratic Party after October 7.
Now, it’s the turn of Republicans and self-proclaimed conservatives to keep silent.
One of the favorite topics to keep silent about is the release of the Tate brothers and the role the Trump administration played in it. This is particularly noteworthy because they not only violently sexual predators but antisemite islamists.

If I record correctly, it was king Hassan of Morocco (of course, there were others before him) who expressed his disappointment after reading Machiavelli, because he found nothing there that he hadn’t known already.
And, of course, he was right: Machiavelli’s real importance was
historical: he was the first major thinker to explicitly state that all the principles proclaimed and preached by the Church as well as philosophers, were contrary to what actually succeeded in real world politics.
By doing so he opened the way to modern secular ideologies,
including liberalism, socialism, fascism etc. He also laid the foundations for political science, sociology etc.
But to say that in all those rules and examples (mostly from the practice of Cesare Borgia) a modern politician or political analyst will find much to learn is to

Some thoughts on the Trump-Vance -Zelensky public spat.
It was certainly the most unusual public event involving heads of state I can remember and, in fact, I can't even think of a comparable event in history.
Such acrimonious outcomes & meetings between leaders of states do not happen because one of the purposes of diplomacy is to avoid them.
As a rule, leaders are never supposed to meet unless all the main points of contention have been resolved by lower ranking officials and a successful outcome is almost assured.
