Iran War: “God won’t listen to war leaders” – But the good news is the “Sitting ducks” are watching them
Wars that are slowly being given a religious bent – mainly due failures of achieving stated objective thus far – waged by those who understand/practice precious little in the way of basic religion/faith. This instability coupled by the one involving consequential states in the region with fragile economies that are […]
Read More Iran War: The NATO Clown is Back in Town
This guy is truly a clown (a sophisticated/sleek one) but on the other hand quite an obvious incarnation; hypes theories that conflict with realities, provides narratives that reflect ignorance / supremacist / colonialist vision when dealing with conflicts less based on values and more based on double standards, and finally […]

Iran War: State of the Union – Wars/Conflicts & the Spectator Model
State of the Union – Wars/Conflicts & the Spectator Model: Opportunities to take a firm stand defending international law/values lost by a union model designed to operate solely in good times while relying on big brother by its side to defend; so in brief (poor leadership, flawed design). The world […]
Read More Palestine: Mideast Analysis/Paralysis
Great analysis in this clip. The problem is that we’re at a point/time where action to save lives is more urgent than analysis and matters of history. The way I feel is that there should be a firm international intervention – would be great if led my country’s in the […]
Read More Palestine: Francesca Albanese’s Holding Truth to Power – She Deserves an Award/Prize (NOT being silenced)
Francesca Albanese is fighting pretty much by herself for the soul of humanity and international law and the reason she’s constantly being attacked is simple; she’s challenging the power structure that has existed for generations and tirelessly trying her best to help us see through the scam we’ve been sold […]
Read More Palestine: Francesca Albanese’s UN Report (in the words of the victims) & My Brief Take – Viewer Discretion is advised
Nothing is unclear about the realities of Palestinian suffering or controversial about Francesca Albanese statements and reports. If wester leaders/states – who are already implicated big time whether they choose to remain silent or decide to act now – have any doubts whatsoever about the realities in the reports presented […]
Read More Palestine: The Right to Exist
I never knew how dumb this question actually is until I watched Francesca Albanese respond to it so effectively. I guess when you hear something so often you begin to accept it without even thinking about it. In other words this question actually raises yet another question of the right […]
Read More Iran War: Universal Values Undermined & The Rules-Based Order Bluff
Here’s my take which is quite simple; The influence of the western model is failing because the model is failing internally and has a poor track record in dealing with foreign challenges – particularly where military interventions are concerned. Soft power is constantly being undermined/ignored and the focus instead has […]
Read More Iran War: A Calculation or a Miscalculation by allies (you take your pick)
My take is slightly different; if NATO allies are NOT rushing to help the U.S. on any basis other than an illegal/unprovoked war against a sovereign state, at least in the main – particularly one that was actively engaged in negotiations with the U.S (but even irrespective of this detail), […]
Read More Iran War: Six Nations Pondering ‘Appropriate Efforts’
“‘Appropriate efforts’ considered by clever politicians to protect the right ‘under international law’ of the flow of energy supplies to their respective regions. As for what ‘Appropriate efforts’ really mean, well that’s a minor detail for another day perhaps as a “surprise”. In other words rather than pressuring the aggressor’s […]
Read More Iran War: Cost of Impotent/Misguided Leadership
This and other consequential conflicts were not inevitable but are consequences of misjudgment and allowing foreign/foreign backed narratives to guide matters of national security; this combined with ignorance/arrogance which is kinda weird when considering the large budgets and the amount of personnel dedicated specifically to assessing such matters. In brief […]
Read More Iran War: EU 2026-State of a Union
While Iran war continues raging on the EU headed by chief merz are standing still, holding hands and praying with plenty in the way of wishful thinking cause they can’t wait to start focusing on bonbons and chocolate bars again (aka the economy). You see ignoring calls that many have […]
Read More The Iran War and the Question of Integrity
When standing up really matters/means something; showing courage and integrity many western leaders know precious little about. It’s not the cheering/clapping for regime change or abduction of a leader while standing on the side as if to say ‘hey were not part of this – but do support it’. It’s […]
Read More The Iran War and the Tricky Stand
Mark Carney and indeed many European leaders to their credit are crystal clear on protecting international law, sovereignty and integrity….that is for Greenland. For Iran it gets a bit tricky; many western leaders like Mr. Carney standing in the side cheering/clapping for US intervention against the repressive Iranian regime but […]
Read More A Tribute to An Immigrant Father By His Son (and a not so brief immigrant’s comment)
When “Secular” states suddenly become “Secular’ish’” states; where racism, supremacist ideology & bigotry have been repackaged into a new theme called “Culture” and where people of immigrant backgrounds – some of them – rather than championing an alternate vision to colonial/racist tendencies are actually promoting/defending the same old/same old narratives […]

Horrifying images in this clip though provides context – but viewer discretion is advised and you can alternatively link to the related Reuters article below. Related Article Israel drops charges against soldiers accused of abusing Gaza detainee
Read More Friedrich Merz Takes Half a Stand
Well of course I do not speak German myself but I’m basing my view on online translations of the clip, and so let me make 3 points; Merz’s panic mode when seeing someone raising a Palestinian flag is quite revealing – a pandora’s box seems to have opened ever so […]

As the French would say “oh la la, la la, la la” (to me this phrase is not really French until ‘la la’ is repeated 3 times) – but then again everything can be repeated pretty much to your hearts content. Here’s a final point I would like to make; […]
Read More US Attacks Iran: A Defensive War After All!
So our clever prime minister keir starmer now making yet another U-turn (his trademark letter) and now allows US to launch attacks on Iran to degrade its ability to defend itself as a purely defensive measure by the UK. So it turns out that this conflict is purely defensive in […]

The above title is the title of an email I received today from Bloomberg News for this article below. Just reading the title alone on my phone I assumed this relates to the West & Europe when considering the enormous geopolitical challenges we face today but it turns out that […]
Read More US Attacks Iran: Keir Starmer’s Inspiring Update
So the logic goes something along the lines of; We’ve learnt lessons of Iraq so we support unprovoked/illegal attacks on Iran but we don’t expect them to retaliate and hit targets used as launch pads to hit their nation in the gulf or elsewhere – (as they’ve threatened to do […]
Read More US Attacks Iran: Mark Carney a Huge Disappointment
Mark Carney turns out to be a huge disappointment; similar to his stance on Maduro’s abduction and where international law is concerned he seems to pay lip service to the left yet constantly turns right. This gold rush to China by Canadian and European is meaningless and will be a […]
Read More US Attacks Iran: Breaking down Keir Starmer’s Statement and Addressing a Bigger Point
Keir Starmer makes impressive points so lets break them down One moment he talks about protecting International Law and the other he seems quite supportive of US actions on Iran (or at least does not condemn it) an act that undermines International Law in every possible way. One moment he […]
Read More US Attacks Iran: A Global Order Turning on Its Head
A new global order based on conventional power pushing towards a new global disorder based on unconventional power; lets see how things pan out. That said it is alway quite reassuring for the EU to release a “pragmatic” statement along the lines; “the developments in Iran were greatly concerning” – and […]

The French Government’s Decision to Ask/Recommend the Resignation of Francesca Albanese
Now I know it’s old news but let me add 2 final questions and my own broader conclusion about this matter; So here goes; 1) Was Mr. Jean-Noël Barrot responding in parliament – when announcing his decision – to an accurate representation by Ms. Caroline Yadan of what Ms. Albanese […]
Read More Europe Actively Giving Up on Sovereignty & Values
Ignore the subject matter of the post below entirely for the moment as well the constant/fancy preaching that comes from European heads of state while focusing solely on actions being taken (mostly without any form of public or even parliamentary scrutiny whatsoever) and consider the following; a) these are not […]
Read More Anne-Claire Legendre appointed president of the Arab World Institute
A nomination that makes perfect sense on paper; lets hope it makes sense in reality in developing concrete results in a rigid region (resistant to meaningful change) now reaching a boiling point, rather than merely following conventional guidelines. I wish her well in her new role. Cette nomination semble parfaitement […]

Here’s my take as someone who cares about this country; true investigations are ongoing about this disgusting crime but I would suggest that politicians on all sides should take notice of how they maybe stoking violence by their vile statements. In relation to this specific incident and where there is […]

I agree with the UN’s response entirely (link below); after all when you don’t have the facts right in terms of what Albanese stated as mentioned above and you’re accepting political interpretation of her statements as a given by someone consistently promoting foreign narratives and with a clear track record […]
Read More The Weekly PMQ Theatrics
Some watch this and consider it Democracy at work while I see it slightly differently; The Hereditary Political Chain that represents an archaic political system unfit for purpose where its mostly about theatrics, personal attacks and children cheering, booing and shouting at each other and banging desks (things not even […]

Remembering the man of Peace who inspired the world at a moment where the instigator of his assassination – Benjamin Netenyahu: https://www.timesofisrael.com/ex-shin-bet-heads-accuse-netanyahu-of-lying-about-lead-up-to-rabin-assassination/ is driving the entire region into the abyss. I remember that dark day well/how shocked I was and sending a fax to Israeli embassy to mourn his murder/expressing deep […]
Read More The Epstein Story: Morgan McSweeney resigns as UK PM’s but What Does it Tell you About the Man?
Truly wonderful to see someone taking full responsibility for poor judgement and the wording in this letter here suggests someone with integrity and a clear sense of values; I wish him well. That being said this in no way absolves Keir Starmer’s responsibility in this matter but in fact […]
Read More UK Labour Manifesto Promise “Change”
They actually managed to achieve it in quite a short time; a true/solid effective change in “faces”. However things pan out what we’re all effectively encouraging is a change in faces/styles rather than focusing on a change in politics and what our role becomes once we’re post election time. Remember […]
Read More Revelations about Noam Chomsky’s Relation with Epstein
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 […]

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 […]

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 More Giorgia 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 More Tom 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 […]

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 […]

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 More Fixing 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 More Vanessa 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” […]
