Nothing much of any great excitement is happening currently on the world stage. It never does when the US despatches Envoys - a useful form of international Killjoy - to world hotspots. But the stinky and cloying atmosphere of the latest round of that form of somnolence inducing effusion is now beginning to clear and... Continue Reading →
US Military Power in West Asia, Has Consistently Failed to Achieve its Own Set Goals. Is the US Now Trying a Different Approach of State Influence Instead?
Military backed, forced overthrow of state governments in the Middle East, has never worked out well for US plans. Their military strength and prowess, now that the bluff has been called, was never going to be capable of holding solidly such infamy for long, once hero nations of the global majority strengthened their own military...

One China Policy or No One China Policy, Australia is All At Sea, Acting Duplicitously When it Comes to Foreign Affairs
I am trying to stay away from the minutiae of day-to-day geopolitical maneuverings, as I explained recently, due the the inconsistency in positions taken by many nations on quite important standpoints. But the repetitive crass stupidity or inbred brainlessness of Australian governments (not just the current one of course, but almost universally historical) on questions... Continue Reading →
Settling an Argument and Solving a Problem
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 →
Australia Has Been Turned Into A Madhouse Led By Gormless Goons And Idiots Who Have No Idea What They Are Doing ++ US Embarrassed by Strait Mission Failure
Having somehow figured out, correctly as it happens, that Trump is a crazy idiot (not sure what kind of logic they used, being on the same path themselves), they decide to try what they think the UK and France may do next. Unaware perhaps that those two European nations are also led by idiots who... Continue Reading →
Australian Government Just as Stupid as All Other Western or Western Facing Governments
Australia's ABC News has an open online Live Feed blog covering the (said to be) important events, nominally expressed as 'negotiations', going on in Pakistan between US and Iran. When the ABC speaks of 'Today so far', of course they mean the Aussie 'day', which is about half a day slippage from that of most... Continue Reading →
A Little Application of Justice To America
Trump, Israel's dog, and trigger squeezer for World War III (which may well fizzle out soon, for lack of resources, funding, and manpower), is now suffering some much deserved natural justice for his impertinence. Of course it is not him or his madcap bunch war-painted, scumbag, fellow administrators who do the actual suffering, but the... Continue Reading →
“Chocolate Soldiers Never Die – They Quickly Melt Away”*
*While I claim that saying as being mine - it is, as far as I know, because I just made it up - it is obviously a derivation of the very old adage: "Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away". That 'fading away' being only possible by surviving any battles in which they took... Continue Reading →
