EIR’s expert on West Asia Hussein Askary, who is also West Asian coordinator for the Schiller Institute, is very optimistic about the perspective opened by the China-brokered agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Although support for NATO’s war against Russia is fast dwindling in the West among those who have seen through the propaganda, European Union leaders have either not yet realized the shift, or just decided to ignore it. Take the informal meeting of EU defense ministers on March 7-8, who discussed how to keep the conflict going. To demonstrate the symbiosis […]

The lethal train crash of Feb. 28, that killed 57 persons, has served to ignite the pent-up rage against the political class among the Greek population (cf. SAS 10/23). The “crime of Tempi”, as the catastrophe is called after the town where the Athens-Thessaloniki passenger train was sent into a head-on collision with a freight train, turned the main streets and […]

There will certainly be more revelations on the suppressed truth behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines.

On March 3, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made a one-day trip to Washington, for a closed-door session with President Biden, which lasted just over an hour. The latter greeted him with perfunctory talking points, thanking him for making “historic changes at home”, including increased defense spending, shipping weapons to Ukraine, and taking measures to break Germany’s dependence on Russian energy […]

Since the spectacular success of the anti-war rally in Berlin on Feb. 25, co-organized by leading leftist politician Sahra Wagenknecht and leading feminist publisher Alice Schwarzer, there has been much speculation about how this might develop into the creation of a new party. In addition to the 50,000 demonstrators, over 750,000 Germans have signed the manifesto that the two women […]

As many as 70 people are feared to have died in the horrendous train crash in Greece on Feb.28, mostly young students returning to their university in Thessaloniki.
