I recently wrote on the subject of middle power nations not needing to choose sides, geopolitically speaking, but to be free to cooperate with others as they see strategically and economically fit for their own purposes. That is just a working example of what national sovereignty really means. My piece related specifically to Indonesia but... Continue Reading →
Not Choosing Sides. The Way Middle Powers Can Operate Successfully in the Modern World
This, I believe - the utilising, rather than joining/shunning of opposing factions - is an essential component and an area of choice for some, and perhaps for many, economically emerging nations to pursue in order to maintain their own independence and sovereignty in today's turbulent world. Where no-one, neither the West not the East, nor... Continue Reading →
Consolidating The BRICS Survival of West’s Gossip
"While they were writing obituaries, BRICS was building the future." BRICS Predictions Were Wrong | Here's What Actually Happened - Think BRICS - April 7, 2026 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdG-NZl_cfw
BRICS – All Washed Up? No Way. BRICS Is Set To Blossom Afresh. Here’s The Truth…
According to the West ...and even some supportive analysts... BRICS, as an organisation, is either all washed up and collapsing (presumably over the war in West Asia, in which many BRICS members and partners are embroiled), or in some form of comatose state. There may have been a moment of stunned amazement - Trump's illegal... Continue Reading →
Lena Takes a Mature View of the Recent ‘Russia Returns to SWIFT Story’
First, it is without doubt that something of the sort is in the air, despite the superficial unlikelihood of such an event materialising. Even the Kremlin is reporting such an imminent return. While the idea seems at first glance to be preposterous given Russia's part in the BRICS and its member nations, and others, moving... Continue Reading →
No Further Need for Independent Nations to be Subject to US Dollar Hegemony. It’s Here. It’s Now. And it Works
If you are pissed off with the US right now or, like me, always have been, then this is for you. I make no apologies for once again featuring a piece about BRICS (actually, BRICS+), but I feel newly invigorated to push this. Without further ado, let me urge you to watch this video. It...

BRICS Reality in the Face of US 20th Century ‘Divide and Rule’ Tactics
The BRICS organisation, often referred to as BRICS+ due to its continued expansion, make no mistake is here to stay. Those nations, members or partners, which make up the BRICS community, are well aware of the benefits accruing from membership or association in terms of national sovereignty and economic benefit. And interest is growing, despite... Continue Reading →
Paradise For All – The BRICS Aim. The Only Opposition To That is From Those Who Want the ‘All’ For Themselves – The ‘America First’ Principle. There Can Be No More ‘First’ For Anyone.
The time of being 'First' for any sector of mankind is well and truly over. And thank goodness for that. Our planet, the only home we have got - or ever will have - has bounty for all its peoples. The planet does not distinguish between rights for certain groups, or even for certain species.... Continue Reading →
If a Western Leaning or Appeasing Brazil Seeks to Hold Back BRICS, is Brazil Actually Needed as a BRICS Member? Or can they be Persuaded to Turn?
I am not seeking to sow discord among the BRICS members. Brazil has already gone some way to doing that. But the facts remain, Brazil does not exactly see eye-to-eye with the concept of BRICS or the views of many of its member states. Which views, while not directed against any particular nation, are obviously... Continue Reading →
