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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 More Of course we have all witnessed the Irrelevance of EU/NATO the spectators of the Russian aggression in Ukraine. But now with the landslide victory of Victor Orban in Hungary it must be crystal clear even to the blind that the western alliance in its current incarnation is a lost cause […]

As a sign of respect to Freedom of Information and for the sake of Transparency I would love to know which “brilliant” mind that came up with this idea of arranging an EU/China Summit while watching events & official statements unfold since the Russian invasion of Ukraine; particularly with the […]
Read More Well that old saying hasn’t changed much through the years, it’s just that we haven’t noticed it applies to us in these crisis too; yes indeed the “Chickens”. As I mentioned a while ago in a previous post “China is watching”; it turns out because I am indeed a “Rocket […]
Read More 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 More First off let me just say that more often than not I agree with many of the views of GPS program host Fareed Zakaria on CNN. I both respect his views as well as his efforts at presenting a well balanced/unique perspective on world events. However in this instant I […]
Read More The scenarios I would categories as coming under the prolonged conflict definition is either the fall of Ukraine and/or the continuation of the current Putin reign in Russia. Any of these scenarios will translate into continued/escalated economic & security tit-for-tat actions between Russia and the west that will eventually tear […]
Read More It may well be that due to the special historical relation between Russia & Ukraine and Ukraines successful existence outside the Russian sphere of influence this in itself is considered by the Russian regime a threat to the Russian governance model and the iron curtain built to protect it. This […]

I am sure that had the west threatened/applied sanctions as opposed to defending Poland against Hitler in WWII as promised Poles would have been equally appreciative for such a “Positive Contribution”!! — Fidelito 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@F_Galal) February 27, 2022 When talking sanctions who actually believes this […]

Read More Unfortunately this story is still making the rounds….that is in my head. However come to think of it objectively – unavoidable emotions aside – this should not only be a story of utter frustrations from the current state of affairs because that’s largely energy wasted. We should try to understand […]
Read More The clip of this man being arrested is making a very powerful point in that as people even Russia willing to take risks by taking action on the ground we see the western so-called alliance confronting Russia with a huge Megaphone and a remote control; disgustingly disappointing!! — Fidelito 🇬🇧🇪🇺 […]

No Comments But This My Heart Goes Out to All Suffering the BREXIT Drag But It Doesn’t Have to Continue This Way People Are Capable of Moving Politics at the Tempo They Choose
Read More BREXIT is truly a story of zero options. The UK Labour is for all intents and purposes a support mechanism the Conservative/BREXIT party with a useless leader who provides no viable alternative and I suspect prefers for the Conservative be the face of BREXIT because he has or believes in […]

Read More The EU governance model continues down the slippery slope path of undermining its authority and more importantly its values. The reason for this is quite simple in my opinion which is the fact that there does not seem to be a base level of acceptable conduct/a clear set of ramifications […]
Read More It is truly an incredible BREXIT accomplishment like no other; changing car stickers from GB to UK. Truly at a moment of pure luxury for the British people our genius politicians have finally decided to breakaway and take back control of our car stickers. Finally a sticker worth having and […]
Read More Well well well; long time no “post” on BREXIT. The reason is quite simple; it’s because it’s been consistently following it’s downward trajectory that many have predicted so it’s kind of boring posting about each news item pertaining to the ramifications of BREXIT. Today however something changed; I heard & […]

There isn’t really much to say about the decision to go ahead with the “Freedom Day” despite the current spike in infection numbers in Britain beyond this; bad leadership – particularly at critical moments facing a nation – have a real cost that will need to be paid in full […]

I also watched some online discussions on this new initiative which […]
Read More “BREXIT/Nationalists” Britain finally takes hold on our island in an effort to control migration and eliminate EU “interference” in British politics. Well guess what we’re actually holding the wrong end of the stick. Our sovereignty is more about Economic Power/Influence in the same way that Protecting our Industries secures us […]

It also seems to me the […]

Oh, wow, now we finally have a BREXIT Party along the lines of the Referendum Party created by James Goldsmith – a Eurosceptic – in 1994 where the sole objective of the party was for a referendum to be held on the nature of the UK’s membership of the European […]

The EU has all but turned down Theresa May appeal for a short extension until end of June while proposing an extension until December 2019 – I guess her “appeal” is wearing off where the EU is concerned. So in simple terms this latest humiliation translates to the fact that […]

Here is the problem we face today with this never-ending BREXIT saga; An utterly broken political system that cannot provide any solution for BREXIT because as mentioned in many of my previous posts – a policy that starts with a flawed process cannot provide nothing but a temporary/flawed solution. The […]
Read More Theresa May is now asking the EU for another BREXIT extension until June 30 (i.e. picking numbers out of the hat yet again), while Donald Tusk wisely suggests a longer extension that can end once national consensus is achieved on the deal (or a deal); a “Flextension” if you like […]

Iain Duncan Smith is appalled because the government is trying to reach out to the main opposition party and others to help achieve a consensus on BREXIT – something she should have began with even before triggering article 50. I am appalled that Iain Duncan Smith does not understand that […]
Read More It seems that Theresa May’s hand is almost out of cards so she’s forced into a make-or-break choice in meeting with Jeremy Corbyn a move that seems to have set her party BREXITEERs on fire. Now I’ve mentioned in the previous post – and indeed in many previous posts – […]
