In the last essay of the “Putin’s Russia” series we have reviewed the assumptions that suggest that namely Rogozin’s clan was the main architect and executor behind the Ukraine’s events. Therefore it would be natural to explore which Russian government clans are the most active in opposing the aggression towards Ukraine, and how they do it. […]
On Monday, NATO Commander Gen. Philip Breedlove had a not-so-subtle message for Russia: it will consider stealth and unofficial invasions to be a trigger for war, the Daily Beast reports. […]
