So, as it turns out, it was the Ukrainians who destroyed the Kurakhov Reservoir Dam. Not the Russians, as some have reported. What idiots, flooding their own positions and their regional supply routes, and reinforcing two cauldrons being created by Russia to trap two separate Ukraine forces. What were they thinking? Or was it a... Continue Reading →
Don’t Get Too Carried Away With Trump Victory
Some months ago - it seems like that anyway - when RFK Jr was considering a run for the presidency against Trump, I wrote something like 'Neither of these men is the answer to US leadership problems'. And I meant it. I still do. Even though they appear to be now on the same side,... Continue Reading →
“Creating a Common System of Eurasian Security” – Putin
This man. President Putin, is so on the ball, the dust now beginning to clear from the global pre-occupation around an election process in another land which did not really merit such attention. In clearer air, the real world issues can be seen now and, with a new reality emerging, perhaps some nations, perceiving their... Continue Reading →
All is Not What it Seems – The West Cannot Shut Down mBridge for BRICS Members
This is quite a long (45 minutes) video podcast from the channel of Lena Petrova - and long podcasts and myself generally do not mix well. But I managed to maintain interest in what information was being passed from a distinguished guest to the show. and managed to see what was being said as being... Continue Reading →

It may have been a little too clever for some, leading to possible misinterpretation of my meaning. Rather than turning 'red' in the ideological sense, the country is, if anything, now...

Greenhouse Gas Nonsense
The image at right was taken from a weather page on my Yandex browser today. It, like all other use of so-called 'greenhouse gas' images, is rather puzzling. If greenhouse gases are invisible, and I suppose that is true of the various gaseous elements included in that fictitious grouping, then why the need - a... Continue Reading →
I Smell A Moldovan Rat
In what must be one of the most important elections - overshadowing anything that happens in the US today - for the borderline nation of Moldova, while victory is being hailed for the pro-western government of Maia Sandu over the pro-Russian opposition (uniquely joined this time to field a single unified candidate for president and...

On the Ineffectiveness of US and Western Capability to Change Anything that Matters in the World
Did you doubt anything I said yesterday on the back of what Dmitry Medvedev said about the US Elections? Well, I'm not going to say much more, having said all I need to say on that matter, but I saw this video interview with Scott Ritter on the Dialogue Works podcast, and I must recommend...
