I wish I could ignore this situation and write about something more interesting, but I can't. Chiefly, I suppose, because my own country, Australia, is also caught up in this distasteful mess - on the fringes, but also on the wrong side again (as per usual). Can I be more specific? Of course. Take a... Continue Reading →
Russia, Somehow Always Manages to Choose the Right Path Which Upholds its Traditional Values and Maintains its National Identity. The Same Cannot be Said of Any Western Nation.
I personally rate Russia's values very highly as a moderate traditionalist, though I choose not to hold to any overtly religious tradition, while also not condemning anyone else's right to do so. Adherence to any religious tradition demands a righteous acceptance of at least one among many particular traditional doctrines, but cannot claim exclusivity to... Continue Reading →

Trump-Xi Face Off for All the Marbles in South Korea - Simplicius' Substack - Oct 31, 2025 Where it leaves him is back at the starting point of the... Continue Reading →
Australia’s (government funded) ABC News Could Not Produce a ‘Straight-up, No Lies’ Piece of Geopolitics Focused News Reporting, if its Life Depended on it.
Just like ALL the other Western MSM, I guess. Here's a classic example... Trump and Putin to discuss Ukraine war at Budapest summit - ABC News Online - October 16, 2025 Point#1: "Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will meet face-to-face in Hungary to discuss ending Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the US president has said."...

Thinking About the Future?
Who, these days, has time - or interest - in that? Warning: THIS IS, I guess, A RANT Not the Western folk, oh no. All their time is spent in scheming up diverse acts of self-harm, built on their inbred hatred of all things non-West. Especially Russia and China, and Iran, and North Korea, and...

This Is War!! Captain America, Pete Hegseth (hyuck, hyuck), Head of US ‘Dept of War’, Gathers Tribal War Chiefs (hyuck, hyuck) to Order Them to Unlawfully Fight & Kill Their Own People – On Their Own Soil. Total Madness!
This is not going to end well (hyuck, hyuck) - if it even gets off the ground without provoking some form of military rebellion to rein in Hesgeth's wild horses. A quick end to US militarism would be the best result. Mask off US empire: War secretary tells military to commit war crimes, as Trump... Continue Reading →
“…we’re gonna live in an Asia where the big decisions, are gonna be made in our own region, and Australia has to learn to work in that kind of environment” – Prof. Hugh White (ANU)
Professor Hugh White represents a voice of reason and sound judgment in today's world. I am pleased to be able to say that I am now mildly optimistic about the future of my country, Australia, based on reports on the recent visit of the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, to China. Some reasonable groundwork has been... Continue Reading →
Only Hard Times and Military Relegation Now for the West, but NATO Reveals Plans for Moldova to Replace the Lost Ukraine
Sneaky Bastardry is all the west has left, and its plans for the so far neutral Moldova (acting against its own constitution) to become the replacement NATO spearhead, unbelievably thrust that nation into taking on the role of the next Ukraine. A stupid move of last hope madness which could ensure, by further future repetition,... Continue Reading →
“The west’s treacherous nature and its warped sense of superiority are still evident.”
..."And we should therefore act accordingly, responding in full or even delivering preemptive strikes if need be.” - Medvedev. I am fully attuned to this type of talk - a very necessary accompaniment to the usually more restrained Russian diplomacy. The West is so dumb these days, and with so little memory retention or capacity... Continue Reading →
