Cold War II | Russia Gives Iran Long Range Offensive Capabilities

Reports today in the Jerusalem Post of fresh new sales to Iran by Russia of cutting-edge military hardware lends support to the notion that a frigid new Cold War is emerging between Russia and the West.

Sunset for U.S. Global Dominance

Recent stock market declines, an ever-weaker Dollar, and an increasingly loud chest beating by nations beyond the U.S.’s rapidly shrinking sphere of influence suggests one disheartening but rapidly apparent reality. We are witnessing the rapid decline in global dominance - the unipolar / hyper-power world - of the United States of America and the emergence [...]

Sinophobic? | No, I Just Don’t Trust Them.

Every once in a while I get a comment from a reader. These are terrific because my opinions do indeed change as based on new facts, clarifications or even when I’m pointed to ‘real’ facts and not, perhaps, an over-reliance on faulty sources or assumptions.

Castro, a Tea Kettle, and the Sulfurous Pits of Hell.

As per my early (5am) morning routine - courtesy the new year’s resolution - I wander, feet shuffling and bleary-eyed to the kitchen to light the kettle for a nice wakey-wakey ‘cuppa tea’. This morning my sleep-induced fatigue failed me miserably - but luckily my terrific sense of smell saved the day! I set fire [...]

Hugo Chávez Uniting the World Against America

Isn’t it wonderful how the mighty mainstream media in the U.S. aids and comforts the nation’s blissful ignorance of so many growing threats around the world?
Every once in a while a cable news network might fly up a scary graphic headline supported by old news footage, some scary sound effects and a dreadfully serious anchorperson [...]
