US to allow Russian oil tanker to reach Cuba — NYT - TASS - March 30, 2026
I Didn’t Think the Finns Had a Sense of Humour Until I Saw This. What a Smart Guy! … [of course, joining NATO wasn’t very smart]
If Zelensky were smarter, he’d travel to Moscow for talks — Finnish politician - TASS - March 24, 2026 "It makes no sense for Vladimir Zelensky to continue this war". Zee, are you listening? What would he gain by doing that? Well, personally, perhaps nothing much, except he might, just might, continue to remain alive... Continue Reading →
The Slow Death of Israel, set as an inevitable result of the “The First West Asia High-Tech Total War”
The world is about to say goodbye to the much hated state of Israel - the root cause of most of that world's greatest problems. This is almost guaranteed by what Pepe Escobar termed (I don't know if he originated the phrase), 'The First West Asia High-Tech Total War'. With Iran cast in the role... 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 →
This Young Woman Knows. Catch What She Knows on ‘World Affairs in Context’.
I have been following Lena Petrova's online presence as a working CPA of global vision, for some time now and have previously shared some of her more or less regular videos. She writes about many of the most important current affairs events around the world, as they happen. Based in the US, she is more... Continue Reading →
Europe Chooses the Suicide Option
Boy am I glad I had the foresight to vacate and relocate from what I then perceived to be an eventual graveyard some 44 years ago. Where I moved to - Australia - is not in much better shape of course, having botched its only chance to escape the colonialist hell in a failed (built... Continue Reading →
Deceit and Distortion – The American Way
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 →
This Is Why I Support Russia’s Determined and Ultimately Victorious Operation in Ukraine. A Legitimate and Justified Response to Protect People and Prevent and Destroy Rising Nazism in the West.
The altruistic and humanitarian traditional values of Russia have been offended by the brutal and offensive actions of the West in their attempt to destroy Russia and its people. That was always the goal of the Western nations - especially and dramatically energised since 2014. And that idea should not be divorced in any way... 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 →
Not Something Else
