STRATEGIC ALERT Service

Some progress seems to have been made this week towards ending the war between Russia and a NATO-backed Ukraine, with the visit of two of Donald Trump’s top representatives to Moscow and Kyiv (cf. below). However, on the other major war front, there was a significant flare-up of sporadic attacks in South-West Asia, with the United States hitting Iranian oil […]

U.S. President Trump sent his representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Moscow on Sept. 5, for their eighth visit to the Russian capital, but the first one since January of this year. One day later, the duo was in Kyiv to meet with acting president Volodymyr Zelensky. Their trip to Moscow followed by ten days that of CIA Director […]

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, chairwoman of the Schiller Institute, issued a statement on Sept. 8, which begins: “Thoughtful citizens all over the world are breathing a sigh of relief. The landslide victory of the Alternative for Germany party (AfD) in Saxony-Anhalt sends a clear message: the German people are intelligent enough not to let the establishment of the so-called ‘Coalition of the […]

The hysterical attempt to persuade voters in Saxony-Anhalt that a vote for the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) would turn the state capital of Magdeburg into a “suburb of Moscow” and turn the entire state into a foothold for Vladimir Putin didn’t work: 43.8% of them voted for the AfD. Voter participation in this state in the East was high, […]

EIR and the Italian YouTube channel Spunti di riflessione interviewed Vice-Admiral (ret.) Kay-Achim Schönbach, former head of the German navy, and published the video in German and in Italian translation. Many in Germany share the Admiral’s view that “the demonization” of Russian President Putin and of an entire people is wrong. “The demonization—and this is very important—the demonization of the […]

As the Trump administration was threatening to impose new “secondary” sanctions on all countries trading with Iran, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization was meeting in Kyrgyzstan on Aug. 31-Sept. 1, as we reported last week (cf. SAS 36/26). While many Europeans are unaware of the existence of this organization, its importance has grown significantly in Asia and Eurasia in the 25 […]

On Sep. 4, EIR and the International Peace Coalition convened a roundtable dialogue with experts titled “An Alternative to War and Looting in the Americas”. The event began by hearing a short excerpt from the late economist Lyndon LaRouche speaking at an event in Brazil in June, 2002, who laid out a challenge to the panelists and the over 2,500 online […]

Mike Huckabee, the United States Ambassador to Israel, has defended the Zionist regime in the strongest terms throughout his tenure in Jerusalem. A self-identified Christian Zionist, he told podcaster Tucker Carlson in February of this year that he believes that God granted to Israel the land from the Tigris to the Euphrates and, as far as he’s concerned, “It would […]

On one side of the planet, leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization were meeting in Kyrgyzstan to discuss economic cooperation and stabilizing relations, while on the other side, Finance Ministers and Central Bankers of the G20 gathered in North Carolina to hear U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent plead with them to join in the economic warfare against Iran, and continue to […]

After six months of failing to force the Iranian leadership to accept its conditions for an end to the conflict, the United States seems to think it can do so now, by launching a “ferocious” economic warfare campaign against the Islamic Republic and all of its trading partners, dubbed “Operation Economic Outcast” (cf. SAS 35/26). U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent […]
