RUSSIA'S MONROE DOCTRINE

28 May 2023 The history of this West-East war explicitly begins in 1991 with statements from James Baker and others, promises that were not kept.I say "explicitly", but you could go back to the Russian communist revolution of 1917, or to Mackinder's Heartland Theory 1904, or to The Great Schism between Rome and Constantinople 1378, or indeed to waves of migrations East to West into Europe of the varied ethnic nomadic groups who have at...

BULLSZ BLOOD AND WHISKY

20 May 2023Strange tale of a village sacrificing a buffalo, drinking its blood (with a little whisky...) through bamboo pipes, in an animist rite to stay on friendly terms with the gods. Everyone happy. Quite dramatically shows what we were like before religion, culture, almost before language, certainly before history : that's what we were like then and that is what we are still like today, underneath the veneer. And by the...

HANSON FOR PRESIDENT

14 May 2023https://youtu.be/0r0m4UCPKHwHanson is a classical scholar and so his starting point is governance and from the times of the Romans and the Greeks and he lauds the middle class as the backbone of citizenship because of its independence and entrepreneurship, thus can fearlessly and objectivly counsel the leadership.He turns to the successes that California enjoyed in the past. These were its public works which supported a thriving independent middle class business community: the reservoirs, the bridges, the airports, the schools and universities.Then...

MESSAGE TO ZELINSKY

13 May 2023Message to the current govt of Ukraine==========Perhaps if you had implemented Minsk II, or just not shelled the Donbas for eight years, or simply allowed the Russian majority in the East - build by Russia 250 years ago - to live their lives without forbidding them their language and culture.If you'd shown respect for the diversity that was your citizenship.But you behaved to antagonise and humiliate, you ignored UN resolutions, you kow-towed to the Americans' love of war when peace was offered you.You threatened your neighbour's security,...

IS THIS UKRAINE'S COUNTER OFFENSIVE?

13 May 2023Ref Bahkmut these last couple of days.What happened was that there was clearly a Ukrainian attack. The Russian defence ministry says that the Ukrainians were repelled. The attacks seem to have been on a fairly large scale. They were probably more than probing-with-force attacks.But if this was an attempted offensive then even if we allow for a degree of exaggeration from the Russian side, the offensive - if this was intended to be the start of some kind of Ukrainian defensive around Bahkmut -  the offensive appears at least for...

UKRAINE AS PRACTISE BOXING RING

12 May 2023 Many readers wonder why the Russians haven't blown the bridges across the dnieper, as a defensive measure.This weekend past, it looks like the Russians did blow some bridges, those connecting the South of Ukraine to Moldova and Romania. Presumably this is to stop any NATO troop movement into South East Ukraine.Then as to the Dnieper bridges up to Dnipro and Kyiv. I guess the Russians have left them in place because they are...

LAMB TAGINE IN CASABLANCA

5 May 2023 Looks absolutely delicious, I want some!!!Lamb in Asia comes frozen from Australia and is not so tender. The tagine is a slow cook, so should produce melt-in-the-mouth meat full of aromatics.In Morocco round about 10 in the morning, all the little street cafes would start parking small single-service tagines on beds of glowing carbon embers on the street outside the restau and begin the slow cook to lunch at midday.So yum...

INVESTORS IN EURODOLLAR LAND ARE RUNNING FOR THE HILLS

5 May 2023 Since the GFC, QE tripled America's debt while keeping payments of interest flat.Now the skies are full of chickens and black swans. America - by debt, inflation, inequality, social & political division, and war ( physical and economic) - is a complete catastrophe - as predicted here since a long time ago. Surely they can't be thinking of printing again? Yet cuts to social security and Medicare would send the people...
