US forces surprised by accuracy of Iranian missile response attack last weekend. Lost contact and control of 7 expensive drones. This report states that the attack lasted for 3 hours, which I think logic would dictate that far more than the stated 'more than a dozen' ballistic missiles were used. Or perhaps that was timed...

Addendum to ‘Future-Proofed Russia”
In case you missed the link embedded within the linked article in my previous post - "Future-Proofed Russia", here it is directly. I don't want to repeat everything I said there, just take my word for it - this is a good read. Well, it is for all those who, like me, have been concerned... Continue Reading →
Future-Proofed Russia
I tried yesterday to explain what is going on in Russia, totally ignoring any bemused and distorted Western take on the matter, and I think I extracted some of the real flavour of the situation but I could, with my limited knowledge, never strain out to the last drop of juice what it really meant. ...

Poverty In The USA
This is democracy in action ...well, Western democracy, that is. In America, a country that has never been so great - according to its billionaire leader - more than 40 million people live in abject poverty. Many of them are supporters of their billionaire leader. I have seen videos on this subject before, but none... Continue Reading →

I am a contrarian, and happy and proud to admit that (whether that pleases or interests ASIO or not, or indeed anyone else). A contrarian is one who opposes or rejects popular opinion or current practice, most often reflected... Continue Reading →
Ours Is Not To Reason Why …or so we are told
I purchased two books yesterday. Two e-books that is, and my e-books now outnumber my physical book collection (which I am loathe to part with, and still go to for reference) by more than 2 to 1. But it is still more convenient and a real blessing to be able to carry a whole library... Continue Reading →
Momentous Events In Russia
"Russian government resigns" Momentous events are taking place in Russia while I have been sleeping overnight. Yesterday President Putin delivered his annual address to the Federal Assembly, which some are calling a State of the Nation address and part of which called for constitutional change. Since I have not had time to come to grips... Continue Reading →
A Little, Delayed, Cross-Atlantic Justice?
"Court in Ukraine orders investigation of Poroshenko, Obama administration members" - TASS Well, well, well. Has Ukraine finally woken up from its stupor and realised that it has been continually shafted for the past five years by a corrupt, greedy, unethical and self-serving United States government of the previous administration, certain now private US individuals,...
