"Iran successfully used Russian-made radar to track US F-35 jets — designer" - TASS So, the much fabled stealth of modern fighting aircraft has once again proven to be just that - fable. I assume that is something everyone already knew. When it comes to things material in nature, there is no such thing as... Continue Reading →
Arctic Sea Ice Update
Since I last reported on the Arctic Sea Ice loss situation for the current northern summer, about a month ago - at which time there was potential for this to be a record year of ice melt - much of that potential has been lost following one of those unforeseen swerves of the graph line...

Humbling The Raging Bull
The isolation of the US in virtually all fields of international significance continues apace but, really, who is to blame for that? Where will this all lead to? Well, it can do no harm for a raging bull to be rightfully humiliated by its peers, can it? Assuming the raging bull is in any mental... Continue Reading →
Trump’s Enemies to Face the Music
Well, I've spoken of and waited for this for a long time, and now it has begun. But it is only a beginning of the repercussions of justice for the foul deeds committed by certain sections of US intelligence, government and political hierarchy against America and its incumbent president.

Directions for the Future – Which Way to Turn?
Of course China is punishing Australia - though they may not phrase it in those terms - and why wouldn't they punish a two-faced nation? Indeed, why shouldn't they? Australia can't have it both ways. We can't expect to work on the basis of respect and partnership in the world of trade, for mutual benefit,... Continue Reading →
Making A Difference
This is not a story of events having any great magnitude on the global scale but it is, I believe, of sufficient interest to those who care about global events, for me to share here (and it is so well and ably presented). Something a little different from my normal posts. It is a tale... Continue Reading →
COVID-19 Data Manipulation?
Over the last 3 months or so I have consistently said that the figures for COVID-19 don't add up to anything logical or even meaningful. From mid-April onwards, the number of cases has spiralled upwards while the number of deaths has fallen - to a low of some 50% of the original daily peak, now... Continue Reading →
Not Something Else
