Which means, I guess, that I deplore the actions of any nation, including my own, which sets a task to make life difficult for them. And so, I am watching with interest, and not a little amusement (tinged with despair), as the west continually slides into the deepest economic and societal hole it has made... Continue Reading →
The New Climate Action Scale – Apparently it Can Now Be Anything You Want it to Be
Shared in the linked piece below, Danish Climate Minister Lars Aagaard partially defined it as, “Setting a climate target is not just picking a number, it is a political decision with far-reaching consequences ... reached in a way that preserves competitiveness, social balance, and security.” Europe’s Last-Minute Climate Scramble: Brussels Waters Down Its 2040 Target...

Australia Relying For its Security on a Failing State. How Stupid is That?
There is no escape for the US, from that failing State status, if it remains on the well-worn path it has made its very own for much longer (which appears likely). It will become a fully 'Failed' State, where everything that used to work to hold the working business end of a culture built on... Continue Reading →
There’s a Change in the Air. It’s Climate of Course, What Else Could it Be? But Who or What is Changing?
Had you noticed that? It's fairly obvious, except perhaps for those more deeply involved with the recent current climate zeitgeist, who are still very busy polishing their theories or theoretical stories, mindsets or memes. Whether home-grown or following 'the science'. There has always been a huge gap between the position of climate believers (many of... Continue Reading →
Friendly Relations With Every Nation of Earth
There is not a single Western nation which could make such a declaration with even a modest degree of honesty. But Russia can. And I am personally convinced that China also can. There may be a few other non-Western nations of whom that could be said, but none, I believe, other than today's Russia who... Continue Reading →
Oh, This is Going to be Like Waving a Red Rag to ‘The Beast’s’ Boiling Blood. Will it Overreact?
Russia’s new weaponry to ensure strategic parity for whole century – Putin - RT - Nov 4, 2025 Of course 'The Beast' possesses little in the way of self-restraint, so anything could happen. But impulsive reactions, which can only be of the roaring or bleating nature, in other words, insubstantive, will no longer simulate a... Continue Reading →
So, It Has All Been a Fantastic Mirage for Many Years Now. The Beast’s Military Nuclear Capability
You all know instantly who I mean by 'The Beast'*, I'm sure. The predatory animal which has terrorised the world for perhaps more than a hundred years now, and has, in latter years, been laid bare as a terror which now possesses no real capability at all to cause fear and trembling among more than...

Arctic Sea Ice Status – End October, 2025
Another month has gone by and it is time to consider where the planet lies in relation to the health or otherwise of Arctic Sea Ice. It has been a shaky year this year but not at all one of concern for the Northern ocean sea ice conditions. As the months have turned over this... Continue Reading →
Taming the Weird and Wild ‘Beast’ of the West
This is a time of great but mostly obscure movements. Obscure perhaps only because the attention of most folk is taken up with more pressing 'at home' issues, rather than to be found watching a grander scheme unfolding beyond their doors. A time for setting the scene for the next exciting and perhaps more determinative... Continue Reading →
Not Something Else
