A Brief Reflection: The Fight Against Corruption – A Long Overdue Process for Europe (BREXIT Britain are you listening?)
With recent revelations of the corruption scandal in the EU championed by Maltese MEP Roberta Metsola, the hope/expectation would not be dealing with this issue separately but rather using it to help develop a more robust system to fight corruption at every of the organization, otherwise it’s a precious opportunity […]
Read MoreWhile Putin Begins to Carve Off Eastern Europe the EU Begins to Carve Off Itself
Sadly my prediction of the end of the EU seems to be going to script, but as any rigid bureaucracy it takes time to unravel. It turns out that the sanctions regime hasn’t done its magic of stopping Putin’s aggressions, rather he has used it deliberately/effectively through his control as […]
Read MoreThe Ukraine Crisis: An Emotional Volodymyr Zelenskiy Visiting the Town of Bucha, the Site of Putin’s Russia Genocide but Little Does He Know…..
Little does he know that the EU is promising a new set of “Sanctions” and “considering” holding Putin accountable for this genocide in Ukraine; they’re always keen to keep our eyes on the future in order to ignore the present, bless their soul…. Truly amazing to watch the contrast between […]

Read MoreThe Ukraine Crisis: Biden warns U.S intervention in Ukraine would mean WWIII – So What’s the Point of NATO or Is It There for Occasions where Russia & China are “NOTA” In The Picture??
In a recent statement today President Biden warns U.S intervention in Ukraine (i.e. protecting Ukraine from Russian aggression) would mean WWIII. My simplistic response would be if WWIII is a deterrent in defending against aggression from Russia, China or any other power then all I can say is that the […]
Read MoreThe Ukraine Crisis: Dividing Your Adversaries – My Take on Fareed Zakaria’s Take
