Last week in Saint Petersburg, Russia, one of the most important economic forums of recent times was held. It was the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

Nowhere is this more obviously the case then in the presentation of the current situation in Crimea. Western politicians and reporters seem completely bereft of historical context when discussing the current…

March 18th, an article here on NEO predicted an unprecedented new arms race. April 5th, Nick Paton Walsh at CNN confirmed my prediction with liberal order media’s fear-evoking story about Russia’s so-called “super weapons”.
