No sugar coating it this is truly shocking. I’ve followed, watched and read his books for years and to me – as I’m sure to many others – he’s one character that projected unquestionable integrity; a view shared by people irrespective of their ideology. But here’s a couple of points […]

The power to say ‘No’ An EUI Conversation with Dominique de Villepin – (A Layman’s Response)
Right off the bat let me say that Dominique de Villepin is someone I highly respect as a politician with impeccable vision/integrity and I hope through his political activism can help lead us all into a more sane world than the one we’re experiencing today. This is a quite a […]
Read MoreU.S. Meddling into Canadian Affairs: Mark Carney takes the right approach in responding
A couple of brief points; 1) Mark Carney is consistently proving a point I made recently about his premiership in that he is the sole leader that I see as having the right approach, temperament in tackling complex geopolitical issues of this age. Canada under his leadership seems capable in […]
Read Moretrump: A Child To Be Treated Like a Child
Here’s a thought; trump craves for attention particularly ones that distract from his troubles back home. He is in every sense of the word a child (I knew and posted about it the first day he took office in his first term). Reacting to him in any way, shape or […]
Read MoreGiorgia Meloni’s Take on Geopolitics & International Law
Very interesting statements but as usual with PM Meloni, they are statements that raise more questions than answers, and here are a few; How does it make sense to state that on the one hand she absolutely supports International law while at the same time support the Venezuela […]
Read MoreTom Hanks & the “Promised Land”
It seems to me as political layman that the term coined into the American psyche of “Promised Land” is being (and will always be) used to turn America into the “Isolated Island” where U.S. interests largely supersedes interests of other nations around the world irrespective of political ideologies […]
Read MoreNATO Becoming more of a Transactional/Flimsy Alliance
A complex/sophisticated response to a question that wasn’t actually asked can be quite an embarrassing ordeal for any person. Attempting to brush it off by trying to appear clever/cute doesn’t really help much – in fact it makes the situation a whole lot worse in my opinion than […]
Read MoreDoes Europe Know its True Strength (responding to the title of the clip – not interested in content)
Thats’s an easy one; the wests true strength in terms of defensive power is defending against states that cannot match their power in which case they revert to more convenient tactics like the sanctions, blockades and helping “partners” do the dirty work whether or not its is legitimate/guided by […]
Read MoreFixing a Stagnant Democracy Model But Not Particularly Interested in the Clip
I’m completely/utterly tired of the analysis/paralysis phenomenon; in conventional media/social media or any other related platform. Analysis – in my opinion – that is frequently unable to articulate quite a simple problem; politics is broken because its become a proposition to hijack (or seek to hijack) democracy by grandstanding […]
Read MoreHistory being Made? Nope, its being Resurrected!
In other words we’re sleepwalking into it with our eyes shut tight; now ain’t that reassuring? Oh and for all similar posts I promise to also shut my eyes tight while posting them ;-( no actually ::-) Take care
Read MoreVanessa Neumann has something to say on Sovereignty; I just wish she remained quiet on the topic just for the sake of IISS
So the view from Vanessa Neumann is that national sovereignty is not a matter to be considered where criminals – wherever they maybe – are concerned. Now thats an interesting perspective but does it also apply on criminals in the Mideast that have been indicted by the “International” […]
Read MorePM Meloni unique approach in dealing with the US-Greenland matter
A very charismatic Meloni puts forth a different perspective when dealing with the US – Greenland matter; So here are the points; It is unrealistic to consider actions against the US without this being at the detriment of the NATO alliance. (So does this essentially mean that the […]
Read MoreUS Attack on Venezuela: Macron Attempts to “Talk it” Away
Plenty of Hot Air but Short on Action: To be honest listening the initial part of the speech it became quite obvious to me that it was going to be another one of those boring ramblings to distract/overcomplicate the narrative as way to create an excuse for inaction so […]
Read MoreThe Clone of Russia in the West: Mexico Takes A Stand (kinda) While Europe & the EU Roll Over:
Well I guess that’s one form alliance (one that comes with a stick). As for the so called “nationalist” governments/trends across Europe they certainly prove a point; they’re purely about racist ideologies focused on culture/immigration and pretty much fall flat in all else relating to national interests or foreign […]
Read MoreThe Future of Alliances (a lesson from the State of the European Union)
UK and France agree to send troops to Ukraine in event of peace deal We intervene once there is a rock solid guarantee our troops will be comfy otherwise we provide goodwill gestures of arms and intelligence (now that’s what I’d call intelligence). This will certainly be a deterrent for […]
Read MoreKeir Starmer on Venezuela Attack (where the hell did this guy study Law??)
A truly cowardly/disgusting response where International Law is defended only based on who it applies to; where the hell did this guy study law (any form of law). Hey University of Leeds please validate his statements and your academic curriculum if/when you have time. In his first speech as PM […]
Read MoreThe Role of Satire in Challenging Times (Laughing our Democracy Away)
Let me start by saying (or in American terms “right off the bat”) that I absolutely love satire and particularly Jon Stewart and John Oliver. I’ve been following both for ages and I will continue to do so unless there is a drastic switch in values or on a […]
Read MoreTrump eyes Greenland; Oh, OK!
And why the hell not; its “Silence of the Lambs” season, ain’t it! A new free-for-all world “order” intricately carved by the “once upon a time” called western alliance. Now that surely guarantees a prosperous/secure world for generations to come in memory to all those who sacrificed their lives for […]
Read MoreUS Attacks Venezuela: As expected “Silence of the Lambs” from the EU
“We call for restraint,” EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says after the attack but I would respond with something along the lines of; Dear Ms. Kallas the EU is already fully restrained when it comes to many atrocities around the world so not to worry you’ll be just fine […]
Read MoreTrump Strikes Venezuela – Global Disorder on Steroids
Now with the United States becoming increasingly a rogue state the question now is what the EU’s response will be or will it simply follow the pattern we’ve seen before it in relation to another rogue state which is the “Silence of the Lambs” proposition?? Truly the international order is […]
