WHY THIS WAR?
28 May 2022 In trying to understand the underlying interests of the parties we should detach ourselves to some extent from personalities and even contemporary politics and we should instead take account of the geography of the countries, the demographics of the people and the wealth and technology of the economies.RussiaRussia itself is a flat plain and after the collapse of
the Soviet Union its natural defences - mountains, seas, gaps - came to
be found in other countries.
Russia in its long history has being invaded...
WHAT A MESS THE PLANET
28 May 2022
So finally America has the war that it has been provoking since 2014 and before.
After drought, pandemic and war (in that order), we now
have famine immediately affecting 250 million people and in not so long
from now almost two billion worldwide.
On the economic front, inflation - a supposedly
temporary feature coming out of covid - looks to be beyond the reach of
central banks, beyond the reach...

PARTYGATE
25 May 2022All the crocodile tears, ok never mind. Big question is:"What did they know that we didn't?"No-one risks throwing away their life for a glass of wine. Conclusion: there was no risk, not to these people. And they knew it.For me, there are two possible explanations, one is political and the other psychological.The, the govt, could not lock down particular sections of the population and let other groups, the majority, carry on with their life, without obviously risking huge civil strife and dislocation .How could they lockdown the elderly,...

AMERICA STARTED THIS WAR
25 May 2022DIPLOMACY OR MILITARY Macron has kept open an intelligence line and works, in
Europen style, on the diplomacy Macron is quite right to want to avoid
humiliation - he knows his history, his country suffered most after
Germany was humiliated at Versailles.
But a different advice comes from arch realist
Kissinger. Concede the land taken and call it quits. And this, most
observers think, is what will happen.
Let's...

"THIS UNPROVOKED INVASION..."
21 May 2022Anyone who still thinks that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was "unprovoked" could take a look at the advice the American government commissioned from RAND and has been following for the last 3 years. Then, look back to Maidan 2014/5, a purely internal event? Or orchestrated by the CIA? Which led to Russia's officially annexing Crimea.The RAND report examines a range of "nonviolent" measures - such as arming Ukraine - the United States could take to stress (it says "extend") Russia's military, its economy and the regime's political...

EUROPEAN TREATY ORGANISATION
12 May 2022 Europe really needs to take care of itself. This is a long-term goal that became a possibility, more a dream really, after Brexit. The lead could be taken by Britain or France, largely with German funding.The main opponent of such a move would of course be America. And it is a long-term goal because manufacturing the support of the numerous European elites, within or without the EU, is no mean challenge. Then there is the technological challenge of catching up with American weaponry which again would not be easy given the smaller...

UK TAKE THE LEAD IN EUROPEAN DEFENSE
11 May 2022 CSA recommended in the aftermath of Brexit that Europe
take care if itself and that this would fall to France or Britain to
organise and lead, largely paid for by Germany.
The lead time may be long - political consensus takes
time to build, European technology lags behind in most areas, the
production volumes are not there at present - but the need is urgent as
we cannot have American interference in our affairs and the disasters
that...

THE AMERICANS
10 May 2022A fascinating exploration of the lives of Foster and Alan Dulles:So much is so very very wrong. The Americas, Trudeau and Biden, are so way way out on a limb, far from reason and common sense.I cannot understand this.Don't think it is new. There is a fascinating account of the Dulles brothers instigation of six covert op.s to assasinate, overthrow, change, regimes - Iran, Guatemala, Vietnam, Indonesia, Congo, Cuba.https://youtu.be/1PtWz4_v0j8is.gd/jcLXAkIt's by Stephen Kinder: The Brothersis.gd/tAN84QThe senseless irrationality of it!...

WHAT IS ELON MUSK DOING?
9 May 2022 Capitalism requires freedom and private ownership. The
idea is to create enterprises that buy and sell goods and services
purely for profit. The limited company allowed shareholders to provide
start-up capial and be included on the Board as owners.
However, what's happened is that for various reasons,
the group of shareholders running the company was broadened to include
all stakeholders.
These new stakeholders...
