'Thinking back', a time honoured pastime of those who reflect, which is in turn a time honoured pastime of those who care about where we are now. I was 'thinking back' a few minutes ago and recalled a post I made here in 2015. One which, having just reread it, is appropriate to our situation... Continue Reading →
It’s All Turning To Shit For The West
That is all I have to say ...except perhaps that it is deservedly so. Not necessarily for the people of the west ...except it is they (we) who have allowed it to happen. Shit, most of the time, just doesn't happen ...other than by design.
Why NATO is Dying
A few days ago I wrote a post with the title 'Why The US is Dying'. To write a similar post on 'Why NATO is Dying' is very easy to do. It could boil down to the simple thought 'No US, no NATO', but I want to present an article which expands on the thought... Continue Reading →
Real Democracy: People-Centric Capitalism – China Style
You can forget all talk of China failing economically. Such talk emanating only as caustic odours from septic western sources.

Her style is friendly, fully intelligible, and... Continue Reading →
Humanity Always Concerns Itself With Things Which Are No Concern Of Humanity
Humanity always concerns itself with things which are no concern of humanity. That is the price to pay for being a species gifted with intelligence, one outflow of which is the development of imagination. We have, over time, developed the capability to imagine solutions to our own problems. We even imagine our own problems. And... Continue Reading →
Brief Update on Arctic Sea Ice
First a few facts about what happens to the sea ice during late Summer. July of each year always sees the heaviest loss of ice for the year. Over the satellite recording period this has averaged at around 2.6 million Km2 for the month. Over the previous decade, 2011-2020, the average loss was almost exactly... Continue Reading →
Twenty Months of Arms Control Treaty Remain
That means uncontrolled numbers, positioning and use of nuclear weapons in an era of possibly the highest ever tension between Russia and US. If Trump becomes US President, there will almost certainly be no further such treaties negotiated. When last in the White House he refused to extend the New START treaty and cancelled the...
