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 Fatal Beating in France
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 […]

Read More Fast Tracking Francesca Albanese’s Isolation
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 […]
Read More Does 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 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” […]
Read More PM 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 More US 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 More The 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 […]

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 […]

Keir 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 More The 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 More Trump 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.

Read More US 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 […]

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 […]

Political Nuggets: National Sovereignty = Economic Sovereignty & The Need for a Democracy Upgrade
No technical expertise necessary in politics, economics or trade; its really just a matter of common sense. If nations by choice, corruption or coercion choose to pass control of key national assets to foreign entities; whether land, businesses or natural resources or create rigid dependencies on foreign resources and/or supply […]

Fascism: The Flashing Red Lights for Europe
Suppression is never the answer nor is turning a blind eye. I won’t pretend to know the answer myself or understand the evolution of this trend in this-day-and-age. What I suspect however is that this trend is more about promoting/subscribing to a distorted reading of history coupled with racist […]

BREXIT – The Migrant Exchange Program (Part of the Levelling Up Policy?)
Locking out EU migrants and now heading east for migration deals – well now that makes good sense, doesn’t it.
