Terrorists, it seems, just love being herded into pockets of resistance, surrounded and annihilated. Well, I suppose it is what they live for - the ridiculous notion of martyrdom. Forming pockets is a tried and true means of disposing of enemies. Nobody gets in. Nobody gets out. The result is inevitable. I haven't heard any... Continue Reading →
“The single largest flood the earth has ever seen…”
"The single largest flood the earth has ever seen… An icy bombardment… Darkened skies… Plunging global temperatures… Mass extinctions…" Does that quote not stir in you some excitement? Interest? Terror? An overwhelming desire to read further? To gain some knowledge and familiarity with what it means and entails? Good. Well, I have exactly the cure to satisfy those admirable...

Of Diseased Minds and Confused Souls
Talking of the long delayed work of the Syrian Constitutional Committee, the formidable pragmatism, patience and understanding of Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov, laced also I'm sure with a little understated amusement, is clearly revealed in this quote: "It could have start working at the end of 2019, but we all know the history of that,...

Turkey Soup Anyone?
"Russia cannot just sit and wait for further developments in Syria's Idlib — diplomat" - TASS Sound reasoning (not something familiar to Western nations) dictates that Russia (the only foreign nation legally operating in Syria) must act in support of the armed forces of the Syrian government and in defence of its own assets there....

Duterte Shows Some Backbone
The United States inability to make friends and penchant for losing friends is legendary. Actually that is a bit of a loose statement.
