..."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 →
Australia is At a Crossroads? With China and Eurasia to the Neighbourly North; The US to the Far Right and a Road to Fascism and Chaos Pointing West.
China would never say that, but I can. And Australia has never seen a clearer point at which to make the break from a decaying and violent West, than today, as the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, is about to head off for a 6 or 7 day visit to Beijing and a moment heavy with... Continue Reading →
Donnie’s Follies
The 45th and 47th US President has set himself up for yet another impeachment process, which could end his tenure, on the basis of him acting without the authority of the US Congress - or so I understand.

The Poetry in Prose of Economic Thinking
I have to announce a recent discovery. I first came across the name of Warwick Powell while keeping up to date with the World Affairs in Context site of CPA Lena Petrova on Rumble.

Why there? Well, who is the most celebrated name... Continue Reading →
Get AFRICOM Out of Africa. No Place for US Imperialism.
The 20th Century was US prime time. They blew it. And in the process almost blew up the world. They could have made many friends but instead saw everyone else as enemies (declared or not). Their record of robbery, pillaging , and domination has soiled any reputation they may have had. There will be no... Continue Reading →
This is Russia’s Victory.
Sergey Shoigu seems to have found himself a place - and a voice - as Secretary of the Russian Security Council. A great change of job placement, I think, by the President. Secretary Shoigu just published the article linked below on Rossiyskaya Gazeta. I have to say this is an interesting read and, among many... Continue Reading →
