'Ukrainian 200-strong combat group crushed in attempted advance to Kremennaya, LPR reports' - TASS So... Was I right, or, was I right? Read again what I said yesterday. It's as though this action was kind of rehearsed and enacted just to prove my point. Or maybe their moves are simply 'predictable'. I think we have... Continue Reading →
Ukraine, Running Out of Steam
Back in April/May/June we heard of brigade size formations leading counter-offensives against Russian allied, mostly militia and national guard units, forces. We also heard of whole Ukraine brigades being wiped out by Russian artillery and air units. Back in July/August, perhaps even into September, we heard of battalion size formations leading counter-offensives against Russian allied,... Continue Reading →
Putin, the Modern Revolutionary
I would have preferred to replace the comma in that title with 'and', so as not to directly label the great man in such a way (but my blog editor does not facilitate that), although I am confident (while never having met the man) that the description fits him. Who else but he, born to... Continue Reading →
Goodbyeeee Darwin!
The Darwin I am talking about here, is the city of Darwin, principal city of Australia's Northern Territory, not the overrated scientist and explorer Charles Darwin, whose leaky 'theory' on evolution (though retaining some merit) still hangs around as a dubious foundational scientific basis for describing the development of life on Earth. No, I am... Continue Reading →
Not Just Another BRICS In The Wall
...but the wall is being built. And BRICS is just the foundation stone. Better to be part of a wall standing against future troubles than to face them alone or in company of those incapable of cooperative effort. 'Everybody wants to hop on the BRICS Express' - Pepe Escobar - The Cradle - October 27... Continue Reading →
My View of Lira’s View
Gonzalo Lira, in case you didn't know, is an American who lives, by choice, in what is still, for now, the Ukrainian city of Kharkov. He is therefore close to the action of the conflict in that, also for now, country. He is an educated man and, if he chooses to express an opinion, what... Continue Reading →
Australia – The Untrustworthy Nation – and that’s how the US likes it
When is Australia going to become a nation the rest of the world can trust? Repeatedly, for decades now, perhaps most of this century at least - and perhaps more - the Australian people have been subject to gross mismanagement, shameful disservice and global embarrassment by its 'two-party-one-policy', swings and roundabouts, Federal government, which has...

On Desperation and Dirty Bombs
I know I should say something on this, though I am not entirely sure what that should be. That desperation hangs in the air across the northern hemisphere of our planet, is indisputable. It is centred mostly within the halls of empire - Washington, London, Brussels, generally across Europe, and particularly within the Verkhovna Rada... Continue Reading →
Paying Too Much Attention To Everyday Living, You Will Miss The Finer Points Of Life.
That's all I wanted to say today really. Make of it what you will, and if you have questions, well, make it part of life's journey to think about (consulting many sources), for yourself. Believe me, it may take a lifetime to fully understand.
