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 →
Australian Government SourPuss Action Pulls US Entrant out of the Russian Revived ‘InterVision’ Song Contest
Unless the Aussie Govt comes clean on the real reason for this distasteful action, they will for ever be known for the SourPusses they truly are. Read the story from ABC News... Australian-born singer drops out of Russian-hosted Intervision song contest after 'political pressure' - ABC News - September 21, 2025 Note that even the... Continue Reading →
Is TRIPP a Trap for Trump?
While there has been some concern raised over recent events in relation to the Caucasus region, I personally (although I do not claim more than rudimentary geopolitical expertise on the subject) do not subscribe to those concerns. It is specifically to do with the often strained relationships between Armenia and Azerbaijan with particular reference to... 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. I mentioned a day or so ago that the destruction of Iran's Fordow nuclear facility - which... Continue Reading →
On One Side: Waterloo – On The Other Side: Pearl Harbour
I spoke here just a few hours ago about right now being a Waterloo moment for the aggressors Trump and Netanyahu. Just a little while ago, someone else said that this is a Pearl Harbour moment for Iran. I agree, and I am sure this is Iran's moment to rise to the challenge and ultimately... Continue Reading →
If Iran Wants to Build Nuclear Weapons, It Will Build Them. Can no longer be Deterred by Imposition of Threats From Anyone.
In short, Iran’s underground nuclear infrastructure is now too deep, too complex, and too protected to be taken out militarily - quote from Simplicius' article linked below It has become clear that Iran no longer operates as a second tier discussion partner (if it ever was) in talks with the US on nuclear weapon issues....

Is The West Too Dumb to Learn that Taiwan is Chinese Territory, and Since China is Not an Island, Taipei Has No Business Attending the Pacific Island Forum?
The same logic also applies to Australia (generally recognised as a continent) and also to the US, in the far, far away. At least, if it does not apply to those two nations then China should Also be Invited, as a Pacific Partner. Is any part of that not clear? The Solomon Islands (hosting the... Continue Reading →
TALK! Talk! talk. End the Talk, Let Them Slog It Out on the Battlefield. That’s the ONLY Way it Will End Anyway – With a Beaten West.
And it will end more quickly that way than through any peace talks - if the US really ends its weapons support, that is. The West (and no, it is not just the EU) is already beaten. They don't seem to be able to acknowledge that yet, but it is a perfectly obvious conclusion. Drawn... Continue Reading →
Just What is Australia Thinking, atm?
I don't often dabble seriously in what Australia thinks about global matters. Yes, I do mention the country from time to time - I am Australian, by choice rather than birth, after all, and have in fact spent more than half my life there. But I do tend to think about global matters all or... Continue Reading →
