...The report contains an important admission that Washington's tactic of propping up overseas opposition groups, inciting unrest, and organizing revolts in other countries is beginning to backfire. The approach is being adopted by the US right who increasingly rely on social media to enlist supporters and deliberately maintain an evasive and loosely structured opposition movement.

The North Rhine-Westphalia elections continued a series of failures of Christian Democratic Union / Christian Social Union at local elections that actually started since the last Bundestag election in September 2009. The loss of votes by the Christian Democrats each time regional elections take place has become a steady tendency... the election result can be considered as a proof of discontent caused by austerity budget that the government of Angela Merkel advocates...

The probability is rather high the geopolitical battles around the North Stream will intensify in the near future. The USA acts as the leading instigator. One can expect the Scandinavian and Baltic states, as well as Poland to renew the previous attacks against the project. It’s not excluded the project will join the agenda of the impending top-level meetings: the G8 summit on May 18-19 in the US President’s Camp David country retreat and the NATO summit on May 20-21 in Chicago...

The UK is not in the Euro and refuses to help bail out poverty stricken members. That is the essence of the matter, for it indicates that she may opt in for the benefits but never for the obligations and this goes back a very long way…To make matters worse, the economic collapses within Europe (not helped by Britain watching from the sidelines) make it difficult to keep the inner politics from turning self destructive...

The U.S. is strengthening its network of military bases in Asia Pacific in anticipation of China's making deeper inroads into the region... Chavez bluntly said that the UNASUR jump to unity over the common defensive doctrine was inspired by the Libyan and other dramas provoked by U.S. interventions. Indeed, there are absolutely no reasons to believe that the Libyan scenario will not some day materialize in Latin America.

Based on past aggressive competitive commercial tactics employed by the alliance of American corporations, the U.S. Intelligence Community, and the Pentagon, aviation experts in Asia are wondering aloud whether the recent crash of the new Sukhoi Super Jet 100 in Indonesia was the result of high-stakes industrial sabotage engineered to protect Boeing’s lucrative commercial and military aviation market in Asia at the expense of a resurgent Russian aviation industry…

The legal proceedings against Seif al-Islam, the son of Muammar Gaddafi, have developed into an unusual situation, that has had no precedents in the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) history. The matter is that the Court itself is exerting efforts to destroy the case so that the accused would never have to face it...There is ground to believe that some kind of clash between two opposing forces took place inside the Court. One of the forces had never made itself known before…

The recent developments - from the seizure of Iraq and Afghanistan to the rape of Libya and the spill of the Arab Spring - leave no doubt that the world system periphery faces a new round of colonial conquests...NATO is an existing and successfully tested instrument of the new colonization...By all means, Iran's nuclear program is nothing more than a casus belli - even with no trace of interest in nuclear technologies, the country would still be in big trouble. Moscow should, in the meantime, keep in mind that it is destined to be the next target after Tehran...Russia will have to endure plenty of arm-twisting at the upcoming G8 forum in Camp David supposed to coerce it into giving up the support for Syria and Iran and the Eurasian initiatives, as well as to make Moscow subject its tactic nuclear weapons stockpile to deep cuts.

The US Council on Foreign Relations authoritatively projects that in the XXI century the rivalry over Arctic mineral riches will escalate into a new type of a Cold War, which promises to be a conflict profoundly different from the one that marked the XX century's bipolarity epoch. Indeed, it is impossible to overlook the fact that calls for the internationalization of Russia's Northern maritime route emerged as a recurrent foreign-policy theme both in the West and in the East since the dawn of the XXI century.

The signing of the strategic partnership agreement by the United States President Barack Obama and his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai becomes a historic landmark in the geopolitics of Central Asia...The sum total of Obama’s message is that the US is going to stay put in Afghanistan for at least another decade.
