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 →
Facing A New Era, Where Globalization (as defined by China) Is No Longer A Dirty Word. Because It Is Dependent On Neither Rules Based Ideology Nor Capital, But Allows For Countries To Develop Their Own Paths Without Threat Or Coercion.
If you want to get rich, build a road - Xi Jinping I just viewed a video which I found to be very interesting. Interesting, mostly because it matches to a great extent my own views and represents, in my view, the path our world is shaping up to follow in the next period of... Continue Reading →
A Top Russian Official Condemns the Gates Foundation of Evil Motives in Promoting Bad Vaccines
The Gates Foundation promoted substandard vaccines, Dmitriev said - RIA Novosti - Feb 16, 2026 [I include a translation to English of this piece at the foot of this post.] This news brings great joy to me, who previously has harboured thoughts of potential Russian knowledge, if not complicity, in the quite obvious fraud of...

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 →
