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 […]
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 U.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 More trump: 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 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 […]
Read More NATO 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 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 History 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 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 […]
Read More The 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 […]

Allies of Power (Cheap & Transactional) – Allies of Values (Strong & Sustainable) – Is This Really “Rocket Science”?
So the lesson I continue to repeat is simple; the west needs to brush up on their geopolitical strategy and begin developing the later using the largely abandoned soft-power as well as historical influence in many regions around the world, because in the midst of a conflict of ideologies the […]
