Russian Arctic cruise ship Professor Molchanov – Wiki Commons Norway seized the Professor Molchanov at the request of Ukrainian authorities. We have been reporting here on TGP on how Western powers have been intercepting and seizing cargo vessels suspected of being part of Russia’s ‘shadow fleet’. The official justification is that these are sanctioned ships transporting Russian oil under false flags but, in fact, these ships provide the perfect soft targets for the European warmongers to show some semblance of ‘victory’ over bogeyman Vladimir Putin. These ‘shadow fleet’ tankers are invariably released to continue their voyages after a few days,…

A $100 billion data center complex planned to be built near the Manassas National Battlefield Park in Virginia has effectively been canceled after residents spent five years fighting it in courtrooms, newspapers and town halls. Bloomberg reports that the “Digital Gateway” project, valued at roughly $100 billion, would have covered up to 37 buildings on more than 1,600 acres, an area about twice the size of New York’s Central Park. It called for 3.5 gigawatts of electricity, roughly what the entire city of Tampa, Florida, consumes. County officials had projected up to $400 million a year in tax revenue if it…

Gloria Steinem, the feminist writer and activist who died Wednesday at 92, was also a critic of the free-trade order taking shape in the 1990s, joining conservative Pat Buchanan and consumer advocate Ralph Nader in opposition to the trade agreement that created the World Trade Organization. In August 1994, Steinem was among more than 130 prominent Americans who signed a letter urging President Bill Clinton to postpone congressional consideration of the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, or GATT. The agreement, negotiated among more than 100 countries, would lower trade barriers and establish the WTO with…

Denver, Colorado, is an example of what Democrat policies will do to a city, Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO) in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District explained during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily. Discussing the race, which has been categorized as a “toss up,” Evans showcased what Democrat policies have done to his state, running out businesses left and right. “I border Denver proper, so you can stand in my district, take one step south, and you’re now officially in the city and county of Denver. … Again, business unfriendly state now because it’s the activists. It’s that second generation of Democrat…

The danger may be not just catastrophe, but normalization For decades, mutual deterrence among major powers provided the world with a degree of predictability, with the nuclear factor lying at the heart of this system since the middle of the last century. The great powers restrained one another and, in doing so, restrained themselves.They understood that overly ambitious geopolitical adventures could carry unacceptable risks, thus “strategic stability” was the reassuring term given to what was, in reality, the capacity for mutual destruction. International institutions grew around this…

(Credit: US Open screenshot) World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka was in no mood for another ridiculous media narrative Wednesday night following her dominant second-round victory at the US Open. The two-time defending champion demolished Russian qualifier Polina Iatcenko 6-1, 6-1 in just 53 minutes at Arthur Ashe Stadium, extending her US Open winning streak to 16 matches. But instead of asking Sabalenka about her commanding performance, Matthew Futterman, a sportswriter for the New York Times-owned outlet The Athletic, decided to focus on her…
