There has long been talk in academic circles about the possible culpability of the British in the Second World War, that the war became more brutal when British planes started terror-bombing cities in Germany. And this was at the beginning of the war, before all the horrors we know today were unleashed. The British had very few resources in 1940, …
The attempts to control and incite Ukraine against its huge neighbour, with the aim of dividing Russia into less manageable chunks, are wrong and dangerous in my view. And I am not in favour of that project, even though I hold the Western flag high. We should leave Russia to its fate, trade with them and be good neighbours. And …
Speaking of the big changes happening in the world, the Turks are developing their own 5th generation fighter jet. The reason they are building their own is that they were kicked off the F-35 project because they bought the S-400 anti-aircraft system from the Russians, and not the American Patriot system. And why didn’t they buy the Patriot? Well, they …
Most people agree that a full-scale nuclear war is unwinnable. It is probably impossible to shoot down every nuclear-armed missile aimed at your country. And the more nuclear weapons the enemy has at its disposal, the more fateful the outcome. The nuclear arsenal is designed to withstand a first strike with sufficient capacity to effectively destroy the other country in …
A children’s hospital in Kiev was hit by a missile a few days ago, and the collective Western media sphere decided in about 30 minutes that it was a Russian missile, and that it was deliberate, and part of an evil plan. Many commentators on X believed it was the work of orcs. We saw this activist journalism even at …
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban made a whirlwind visit to Ukraine on the day he took over the EU presidency. He brought a peace plan with him, and many believe that the trip was not entirely on his own accord. With Biden out of the picture, the Americans need to close the deal as quickly as possible. And there is …
The latest news from the Ukrainian war is Kiev’s missile attack on Crimea, where over 100 bathers on a beach were injured by cluster bombs, of which about 6 people died. One might wonder about the strategic value of killing and maiming civilians on a beach. The American ambassador was of course called to the Kremlin, because it is American …
The Russians are planning naval bases in Cuba and other Latin American countries, just a few miles from the US coast, and are currently conducting joint military exercises with nuclear-capable ships. At the same time, the Moscow Stock Exchange is banning the dollar and the euro; it is no longer possible to pay in these currencies. In addition, Saudi Arabia …
Many were surprised by the Swedish rush to join NATO, which took place without a referendum or in-depth debate. Why now, one wonders? NATO was formed as a defence alliance against the Soviet Union during the Cold War, when Sweden was not a member, nor was Finland. Was there no reason to think about defence alliances after the Second World …
We remember the Warsaw Pact from the Cold War, where the Soviet Union formed a defence alliance with the Eastern states occupied during World War II, as well as other Red nations. Today, Russia is not formally part of a larger military alliance, except with former Soviet states, but something like that could be created in the future, as a …
I will continue to discuss the concept of open borders, which was briefly mentioned in a previous article. We note that both leftists and libertarians are in favour of the idea. And the concept is well established in the minds of the ruling classes, as we see a huge number of migrants arriving in Western countries every year. And these …
