Here is something quite notable if you follow the ebbs and flows of Arctic Sea Ice Extent. March 15th this year, because of the extra day inserted last year (a Leap Year) equates to March 14th last year in terms of the day number from start of year. This year has reached its current peak... Continue Reading →
Ultimatums – Exactly As I said Yesterday…
Trump, still wet behind the ears, expects Russia to fold, easily... 'Trump expects Russia to agree to Ukrainian settlement deal' - TASS - March 15, 2025 Meanwhile, Putin, sharpest knife in the block, lays his first ultimatum on Trump - declaring this negotiation process is going to be difficult and may take quite some time....

It’s Time for the US to Receive its Own Ultimatums
I have always considered the writings of William Schryver (well, since I have known of the man anyway) to be one of the sanest and steadfast voices of anti-imperialism that I know of. His latest, succinct but pointed piece is no exception. Actually, on afterthought, it is something of an exceptional exception in that it... Continue Reading →
An Erstwhile China – Still ‘standing firm’ “in the right side of history”

‘Russia Has A Clear Conscience’ – Lavrov – ‘…and not because we don’t use it very much,’ – (with a smile)

Any opinion running contrary to that statement carries the lingering stench of the abject depravity of Western media or cultural manipulation. I have just watched the 91... Continue Reading →
Has Trump Just Passed Up His Only Chance To Make Good?
This is just a quick update. I'm not going to comment in detail on the outcome of US-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia, but it does carry the odour of a potential trap for Russia, and labels Trump as the lowest belly crawling creature on the planet. Thankfully Russia, today's Russia, is not stupid. Far from... Continue Reading →
Trump – Tilting at Windmills
That phrase is often used of someone hopelessly engaged in a project with no hope of success. Which is exactly what Trump is desperately trying to achieve in any attempt to get Russia involved in his fruitless plans to save America. The US appears to be beyond saving now. The desperation, palpable. 'Trump plans to... Continue Reading →
Never Trust The US. Never, Ever, Trust The US.
That's all, really. All I have to say. Oh, who am I talking to? Russia, of course ...and anyone else who values their independence.
Not Something Else
