Alexander Mercouris

A most interesting analysis of British fatuousness and London's sudden encounter with reality, as it is forced to withdraw plans for a provocation in the Black Sea, perhaps one of the most heavily fortified strategic areas in the whole planet. The Brits and the Americans were simply forced to back off and start behaving more rationally and humbly. Part of the explanation—a subject that has been brilliiantly discussed by Russian geostrategist Andrei Martyanov, and also by The Saker—is that Russia's economy and unique ways of developing and procuring advanced military systems—perhaps a gift from the Soviet Union—is that her economic and military capabilities, not counting the intrinsic quality and morale of her soldiers, is far superior to NATO's. That's why bean counting is useless and actually misleading. Listen to Mercouris talk on Russia's actual capabilities and the surprising vigor of her economy.

If you find the above useful, pass it on! Become an "influence multiplier"!

Since the overpaid corporate media whores will never risk their careers to report the truth, the world must rely on citizen journalists to provide the facts that explain reality. In this ridiculously uneven struggle our role must always be to help distribute far and wide what these journalists produce—to act as "influence multipliers". There's power in numbers, power that the enemy cannot hope to match. This is the primal power that the masses possess and which the oligarchs fear. Put it to use by becoming an influence multiplier. Repost this material anywhere you can. Send it to your friends and kin. Discuss it with your workmates. Liberation from this infernal and mendacious system is in your hands.
