US Strategic Bombers Engage in Arctic, Baltic and Atlantic Exercises

PEJOURNAL - U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers concluded their role in what US European Command calls an historic Bomber Task Force deployment to Europe amid unprecedented and daily mounting tensions with the US’s fellow nuclear superpower Russia, last week. The current iteration of the Bomber Task Force mission combined the B-2 deployment with one of B-1B Lancer strategic bombers. Since the Cold War the two planes along with the B-52 Stratofortress have made up the American nuclear-capable, long-range, supersonic bomber fleet. In 2007 the B-1 was converted to carry only conventional bombs in accord with the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty…

A lesson from Iranian Revolution

BY: Quayyum Raja PEJOURNAL - If I have to answer in one sentence what the people of Iran have learnt from 42 years old Islamic Revelation, I would say: self-confidence, self-respect, self-reliance and self-satisfaction. The Iranian Monarchy destroyed by the Iranian revolution instilled negativity and pessimism about themselves that Iran can not live, survive and progress without the West. The Iranian revolution, on the other hand, led people to think for themselves and help themselves. As soon as Shah was over thrown, relations between Iran and America deteriorated. America launched a campaign to impose economic sanctions on Iran with severest…

NATO’s Northeastern Expansion Meets Russia’s Northwestern Border

PEJOURNAL - That German warplanes are within immediate range of Russia’s Kaliningrad oblast (and not much further from St. Petersburg, formerly Leningrad) and that Germany is in charge of a permanent battlegroup formation in Lithuania are topical issues as we approach the eightieth anniversary of Germany’s Operation Barbarossa invasion of Soviet Russia in 1941. When the Baltic states and former Soviet republics Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were brought into NATO in 2004, five years after Baltic neighbor Poland, that expansion consolidated the process of turning the Baltic Sea into a NATO one. The above four nations joined NATO members Denmark…

America Against the World

BY: Philip Giraldi PEJOURNAL - There are certainly a number of reasons why American government is now only viewed favorably by the Israelis, but totally tone deaf foreign and economic policies have to be right up there in how the world sees Washington. Rather than conform to how other nations are expected to behave, America has elevated “exceptionalism” and “leader of the free world” nonsense to a dogma where it believes itself allowed to behave without restraint in defense of what it claims to be its interests. As all countries act in support of interests, that would at least be…

Russia’s need to new coalitions

PEJOURNAL - These days and following the imposition of various sanctions by the European Union and the United States of America on Russia under various excuses, there are concerns more than any other time over relations between Moscow and Euro-Atlantic. There is a question that the intensification of tensions would have what impact on the previous cooperation between Kremlin and the West? And more importantly, it would create which challenges for Russia in one hand and the Western coalition in the other? The new Euro-Atlantic order against Russia It is not hyperbole if we say the arrival of Joe Biden…

Mattias Desmet; a great psychologist explains why we are so passive in front of COVID19

Translated to English BY: Costantino Ceoldo PEJOURNAL - Inside the Great Imposture, the thing that is really scary (it has already been said) is the passivity in the face of the general decline of freedom and civilization of the Western masses. With their masks and their obedience to lockdowns increasingly similar to a state of imprisonment, the majority give the impression of fearing a substantially imaginary danger (death from COVID19 but in 99.8 percent of cases they do not risk) more than the real damage that has already fallen on them. From the tragic depressions that affect their young children…

Biden’s Objectives in Escalating Confrontational Policy with China

PEJOURNAL - One of the most important and enduring facts in the history of international relations has been the rise and fall of great powers. This means that since the formation of the Westphalian system and the modern state, some great powers have always been able to emerge in the position of the supreme power of the international system and take the place of the previous superior states. The United States emerged as a major power after the World War II, leading and dominating the Western bloc. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, based on all objective criteria, the…

Fourteen U.S. states including Louisiana and Wyoming sue Biden administration over oil and gas leasing pause

PEJOURNAL - Fourteen U.S. states including Louisiana and Wyoming filed lawsuits on Wednesday against President Joe Biden’s administration, challenging his pause on new oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters. The legal actions, which seek to restore regular federal drilling auctions, came a day before the administration is set to launch a review of the oil and gas leasing program. Biden, in January signed an executive order putting on hold new leasing pending that review. During his election campaign, he pledged to end new federal leasing as part of a sweeping plan to address climate change. The pause…
