After the Berlin Wall fell in November 1989 and the death of the Soviet Union was confirmed two years later when Boris Yeltsin courageously stood down the Red Army tanks in front of Moscow’s White House, a dark era in human history came to an end. The world had descended into a 77-Year War, incepting … Continue reading “The Christmas Truce of 1914 – Why There Is Still No Peace On Earth”

When it comes to foreign policy, the relentless stupidity of the bipartisan duopoly knows no bounds. That proposition was reinforced in spades yesterday when Sleepy Joe gave the GOP a screaming invitation to denounce Washington’s wasteful meddling in the affairs of a remote nation which have nothing whatsoever to do with the peace and security … Continue reading “Tucker’s Crucial Fight Against Republican Russia Hawks”

What’s wrong with these people?We are referring to the dipshit NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, who recently informed the Kremlin that what happens on Russia’s border is none of Russia’s damn business:“It’s only Ukraine and 30 NATO allies that decide when Ukraine is ready to join NATO. … Russia has no veto, Russia has no … Continue reading “Sleepy Joe Cradles the Dead Hand of the Soviet Presidium”

This weekend’s momentous events cry-out for a reformulation of Earnest Hemingway’s famous five word quip in “The Sun Also Rises”. Per his description of the route to bankruptcy: How did the dismal Afghan outpost of Washington’s Potemkin Empire collapse? “Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.” Less than three months ago, Afghanistan’s puppet President, Ashraf Ghani, inadvertently … Continue reading “Hurrah! Washington’s Pointless Sojourn in the Graveyard of Empires Is Finally Over”

It automatically sets in motion throughout society those irresistible forces for uniformity, for passionate cooperation with the Government in coercing … Continue reading “Battle Hymn of the Gesundheitsfuhrers: Sickness Is the Health of the State!”

During more than a half-century of Washington watching we have seen stupidity rise from one height to yet another. But nothing – just plain nothing – compares to the the blithering stupidity of the Donald’s Iran “policy”, culminating in the mindless assassination of its top military leader and hero of the so-called Islamic Revolution, Major … Continue reading “The Donald’s Assassination of General Soleimani – As Stupid as It Gets”

By the twisted logic of Imperial Washington you could say the Iranians were asking for it. After all, they had the nerve to locate their country right in the middle of 35 U.S. military bases! Then again, your saner angels may ask: What in the hell is Washington doing with a massive military footprint in … Continue reading “The Donald Is Now America First’s Own Assassin”
