  The Sumerians were the people from Sumer, the first recognized society in the historic area of southern Mesopotamia (now southern Iraq), developed throughout the 6th and 5th centuries BC throughout the Chalcolithic and early Bronze Ages. In addition to age-old Egypt, the Caral-Supe culture, the Indus Valley civilization, the Minoan civilization, and age-old China, it is also one of the world's early civilizations. Sumerian farmers who lived along the Tigris and Euphrates valleys grew a great deal of grain and other items, which allowed them to establish metropolitan towns. Before 3000 BC, there was proto-writing. The earliest files date from between 3500 and 3000 BC and are from the cities of Uruk and Jemdet Nasr. 
  Most historical analysts believe that Sumer was first completely occupied between c. 5500 and 4000 BC by a West Asian population who spoke the Sumerian language, a non-Semitic and non-Indo-European agglutinative language isolate (as evidenced by the names of cities, rivers, standard professions, and so on). It wasn't an inflected language, in contrast to its Semitic cousins. 
  Go ahead and get stared, and get to know more about the Sumerians, what they did, who they were, and why so many people know so little about them.

  Famine of Fear - The Holodomor...

  The Holodomor, one of the most devastating famines in modern history, cannot be understood without first examining the upheaval that gave rise to the Soviet Union. The collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917 marked the beginning of radical change across Eastern Europe, and Ukraine found itself at the center of a volatile political landscape. The chaos of World War I, followed by the Bolshevik Revolution, dismantled centuries-old institutions, replacing them with a new, ideologically driven regime determined to reshape society. 
  Ukraine’s struggle for autonomy intensified during this transitional period. After the fall of the Romanovs, various Ukrainian factions attempted to establish an independent nation, but their efforts were short-lived. The Bolsheviks, intent on consolidating power, saw Ukraine not as a sovereign entity but as a key agricultural region vital to the survival and success of the Soviet state. By the early 1920s, Ukraine was forcibly incorporated into the USSR, and its political identity was subordinated to Moscow's vision of a unified socialist republic. 
  The Bolsheviks, led initially by Vladimir Lenin, promised land to peasants and equality for all workers, which won them temporary support. However, these promises quickly dissolved into policies that centralized power and suppressed regional identities. The Soviet leadership viewed Ukrainian nationalism as a threat to their authority, prompting efforts to erase cultural distinctions and eliminate opposition. Lenin’s New Economic Policy offered some relief and flexibility to rural communities, but this period of relative leniency ended with his death and Joseph Stalin’s rise to power.

  The Islandman

  Tomas O'Crohan was born on the Great Blasket Island in 1865 and died there in 1937, a great master of his native Irish. He shared to the full the perilous life of a primitive community, yet possessed a shrewd and humorous detachment that enabled him to observe and describe the world. His book is a valuable description of a now vanished way of life; his sole purpose in writing it was in his own words, 'to set down the character of the people about me so that some record of us might live after us, for the like of us will never be again'. 
  The Blasket Islands are three miles off Irelands Dingle Peninsula. Until their evacuation just after the Second World War, the lives of the 150 or so Blasket Islanders had remained unchanged for centuries. A rich oral tradition of story-telling, poetry, and folktales kept alive the legends and history of the islands, and has made their literature famous throughout the world. The 7 Blasket Island books published by OUP contain memoirs and reminiscences from within this literary tradition, evoking a way of life which has now vanished.

  The quadrology´s four books covers the entire dramatic global strategic development since the Kosovo war in 1999. Russia and China's cooperation in the BRICS, SCO, the Ukraine crisis in 2014, Syria, the dramatic development in the South China Sea, the US presidential elections in 2016 and 2020, and its implications for the US global leadership.  Dialogues appear in parts 1 to 2 between the author and the American and Swedish highly ranked retired military and a Russian geostrategist in Vietnam in 2013. The military development is analyzed in detail. Finally, a summary analysis of more than fifty pages follows, which includes the very latest dramatic development around the US epic chaos-influenced retreat from Afghanistan and the development of events from November 2021 until May 9, 2022. Following the attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russia is on the front lines against the Anglo-Saxon Western world. Yet, except for French Guiana in Latin America, the rest of the world refuses to follow the West's sanctions policy against Russia. In the near future, the struggle between Russia and the Anglo-American Western world will have the character of a positional political and economic war, and whoever first gives up will lose.  If Russia falls, Eurasia's authoritarian superpowers will fall, and the Anglo-American Western world will take over globally. But if the Anglo-American Western world falls, Eurasia's authoritarian superpowers, Russia and China, will have crushing world domination in control of the World Island, Eurasia, and Africa.
