God Bless William Schryver (yes, I'm even willing to go that far in my appraisal and approval of his most recent writing). Listen to this, from the latest written words of that man... From my distant perspective, Russia is a great nation inhabited by extraordinarily intelligent and capable people – albeit one that has repeatedly... Continue Reading →
It’s Time to Get Real
...at least as real as you can, from an armchair. Time to feel something of what it's about. Time to work out how THEY feel. Those men who put it all on the line every minute of every day, for their country, and countrymen, and women. It's not for me to say but, in order... Continue Reading →
Medvedev’s Important 2022 Summary
I missed this on December 26 (while also trying to avoid all unnecessary seasonal guff) but found it today in the pages of the Titanic Lifeboat Academy (they rarely miss anything important). Dmitry Medvedev has become a changed man (at least in my own humble estimation) since his appointment as Deputy Chairman of the Russian... Continue Reading →
How Strong is China-Russia Friendship?
It is now time for China to step up and enforce its own foreign policy on Taiwan. Who rules Taiwan? China or the US? 'Taiwan expands restrictions on exports to Russia and Belarus — radio' - TASS - Jan 5, 2023 It's a matter concerning confidence in a relationship. How far does friendship go? All...

“Another Year Over, And What Have We Done?”
As I write this, where I am it is 01/01/2023 (one of the few dates of that format which can be read correctly by Americans). The Sun has set on 2022. Thank whatever goodness there is, for that. But where does that leave us? Have we a future? Will 2023 be any different? Will there... Continue Reading →
‘Europe and America have gone mad’
For those who have big sticks, it seems necessary for them to be waved in belligerent manner. For those who possess the biggest stick of all, it seems sufficient to simply let that be known. Hence why Russia does not need to threaten the west with the use of its powerful nuclear/conventional weapon systems but... Continue Reading →
Add This to Your Pronouns, Freaks!
So... do you identify with this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu0GPo7GkPk Well, kind of figures if you do. Most folk would, today, in this freakshow of western so-called civilisation - which is falling apart more each day that passes. What you say? You couldn't watch that video? Not surprising.

Merry Christmas, Europe. And All The ‘Joy’ You Deserve.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1606347049284165632 ...courtesy RT ...and Twitter Added later: Here is the actual (better quality) RT post. https://russian.rt.com/world/news/1089610-rt-evropeicy-rozhdestvo-skazka-homyachok This is not an attempt at redemption for me. It was meant to be unsavoury. After all, 'Rat' wasn't meant to be 'sweet' - and neither is life.
Waiting… Waiting…
I have nothing to say. I am simply waiting for the next 'Act' in the global pantomime to begin. December 25 seems to be a reasonable day for it, but that is just conjecture - and perhaps a (not so) secret hope. Meanwhile, those who have to make a daily offering to the god of... Continue Reading →
