Here we go again. The Donald had no more than offered a constructive 28-point plan that correctly identified America’s Homeland Security interest in Ukraine as nichts, nada, nugatory and nyet – when the Washington neocon brigade that he foolishly invited back into his...
Hey, POTUS, How About a Department of PEACE!
Part 1 Well, the Donald hit the nail on the head, albeit surely not by purpose. That is to say, Washington DC is indeed the War Capital of the World – so the Pentagon might as well be properly renamed as the Department of War. After all, the 742 US military bases...
Russia and China Are Not Threats to the US
This article is a continuation of "A Nobel for the Donald?" To repeat: the geopolitical equivalent of a tree is about ready to fall unheard in the global forest. Once the Trump/Putin peace deal is inked, not one element of the neocons’ scary bedtime stories about...
A Nobel for the Donald?
Donald Trump doesn’t really deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. Not after his unprovoked bombing of a country (Iran) that is no military threat whatsoever to the American Homeland. Not after continuing to green-light and arm Israel’s genocidal madness on Gaza and...
Hey, POTUS, America Don’t Need No Bunker Busters, Either
We have observed on multiple occasions that Donald J. Trump is an unhinged, egomaniacal Caesarist who knows no limits to power. Indeed, it would appear that he believes himself to be the CEO of the world, bombing Iran last weekend for the good of mankind despite the...
America First – We Hardly Knew Ye
The Donald called Fed Chairman Powell a “numbskull” last week and deservedly so. But to paraphrase an old adage, when the cap fits said numbskulls tend to wear it themselves. Surely, that’s where we are this morning upon Israel’s reprehensible attack on Iran’s...
Out of Their Minds on Georgia
This week the United States House of Representatives passed the ridiculously titled “Mobilizing and Enhancing Georgia’s Options for Building Accountability, Resilience, and Independence Act (MEGOBARI Act) by a vote of 349 to 42. The latter “nay” vote consisted of 34...
Why America Don’t Need No Stinkin’ ‘Allies’
OK, the title is a bit crude and is deliberately mocking in tone. But it has to be because there is a deeply-entrenched, almost sacred presumption embedded in the nation’s foreign policy catechism that “allies”, “alliances” and “coalitions of the willing” are the...
Who Gives Two Hoots About the Houthis!
Last week we noted that the ascension to NATO of the Balkan Five (Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Albania) and the Baltic Three (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) amounts to some kind of bad joke. Their combined active military forces total just 66,000...
Zelensky’s Oval Office Melt-Down
It goes without saying that the Donald can never get enough of the limelight. But last Friday in a live Oval Office broadcast seen around the world that thirst for public attention may have actually changed the course of history. And very much for the good – even if...
