Note: I began writing this essay some months ago. Time, aging, life and circumstances getting in the way of its completion. I began to think it may never be completed. But things, related things, have been happening in the world of late which have spurred me on to that end. It was only yesterday, when... Continue Reading →
It’s High Time to Demonstrate the Leverage of Nuclear Weapons
Western nations, particularly (but not exclusively) the United States, see themselves as holding some sort of authoritative dominion over the rest of humanity. This is an indelible tenet of their belief system. It is seen as their divine destiny. They will never give up the struggle to achieve that destiny. Only total destruction, or potentially...

The Building Blocks of Geopolitical Harmony – and Cooperative Freedom of Global Trade
Ha! Only today did I issue a piece, my previous post, highlighting the effective Global crackdown on Western Adventurism in terms of world trade routes. If you haven't read it, it concerns announcement of a strategic deal between India and Russia, both nations being BRICS members. While BRICS itself has no, and needs no, military...

Settling an Argument and Solving a Problem
I recently wrote on the subject of middle power nations not needing to choose sides, geopolitically speaking, but to be free to cooperate with others as they see strategically and economically fit for their own purposes. That is just a working example of what national sovereignty really means. My piece related specifically to Indonesia but... Continue Reading →

Not Choosing Sides. The Way Middle Powers Can Operate Successfully in the Modern World
This, I believe - the utilising, rather than joining/shunning of opposing factions - is an essential component and an area of choice for some, and perhaps for many, economically emerging nations to pursue in order to maintain their own independence and sovereignty in today's turbulent world. Where no-one, neither the West not the East, nor... Continue Reading →
The Right Speech, The Right Forum, for a Resetting of True Democracy. It Gladdens My Heart To See This At This Time of Gross Uncertainty In Our World.
Let's begin at the beginning, accepting that in today's world there are few nations, if any, which can claim to represent true democracy. None of the true contenders for such a claim lie in the basket of nations known as the collective West. They only pretend to be democratically governed. And methods or systems of...

Iran is Playing Trump, His Disciples, The Markets, and Assorted Onlookers for Demented Chumps or Bedoozulated Chimps. Both Apply Either Way
I think I just invented 'bedoozulated'. It gets no responses when searched, so you can make of it whatever you wish. How do you define a confused chimp anyway? But whatever Iran is doing, there is good logic behind it. They have never altered their stance regarding the Strait, and this is just another way... Continue Reading →
