That US "power projection" is now based on a platform of "geopolitical irrelevancy" is, I think, obvious - at least to all those who form their own views rather than accepting the programmed 'groupthink'. And that is, I believe, how the world should be viewing the upcoming June 16 meeting between US President Joe Biden... Continue Reading →
Broken Dreams
In my darkest moments ...and who can say they have not had at least some of those? But not too many, I hope, or too dark ...I have, on occasion, turned to the music, old and new, of The Moody Blues. We all have our own ways of dealing, or not dealing, with those times.... Continue Reading →
Dancing the Fandango at the NATO-Nazi Ball
'Dancing the Fandango at the NATO-Nazi Ball'? - there must be a song title in there somewhere (Note: It's how they began - but don't tell anyone, it's probably hush-hush). Watch out! The world's biggest Totalitarians are up and about with an Anti-Totalitarian (WTF??) message aimed at all gumptionless gawpers and all who would need... Continue Reading →
A Distasteful Affair
I have come to despise 'The Guardian' as being just another biased source of tainted news along with all other written media of the group that has become to be derisively known as Main Stream Media or MSM. Not to be trusted as genuine, factual or even rational. And yet, in the disgusting world of... Continue Reading →

Russia is perhaps the most constant and consistent nation of all, in its attitude to international affairs. France and Germany, on the other hand, are like ducks on a pond in that arena. Bobbing...

Diversionary Pursuits
Here's something different from my normal cycle of expressed interests, although I have very occasionally mentioned it before. There are not many online (or offline) games on which I have spent more than a hundred hours or so, and less than a handful on which I have enjoyed playing for more than a thousand hours. ...

Phantom Nation
Occasionally, The Saker produces a piece of writing that is truly epic in stature and ruthlessly honest in its directed thoughts. On those occasions there is immense power in his words. His latest post on 'The Saker' blog is one such epic and powerful piece. The Saker makes an appeal to all who read that... Continue Reading →
Everything about Russia is just so beautiful…
In my next life I want to be Russian - Everything about Russia is just so beautiful... Added later: The original link to this video was taken down but this new link is available (atm). If this disappears then there is still the VK link below, with English lyric sub-titles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npjYh62LndE Such grace and charm. ... Continue Reading →
New Zealand: Taking An Independent Position?
In a recent post I exempted New Zealand from comments on full alignment of that nation with the views and actions of the Five Eyes security alliance. This is not really something new. New Zealand has always been true to and followed its own principles. For a small, geographically isolated nation, that is a laudable... Continue Reading →
