  • France: Forward Deterrence and Going Backwards

    To expand a stockpile of both the useless and the mindlessly murderous in a military sense would seem to be a wasteful exercise best contemplated in the psychiatric ward. But such a ward is increasingly occupied by the world’s leaders, and war is on their lost minds. As Israel and the United States continue their […]

  • Are US Pacific Bases Just Chinese Hostages?

    Thanks to China’s rare earth restrictions, the US cannot replace the high-technology weapons it is using in Ukraine and the Middle East. Washington just announced that it cannot defend any of its allies in the area apart from Israel, yet will still exhaust its defensive missile inventory within a week. – Godfree. In the annals […]

  • The Insecurity of the Munich Security Conference

    Each day we learn that the leaders of the “free world” lag behind us. Relying on them to give us peace and stability has its doubts. The annual Munich Security Conference, a gathering of Western world’s movers and shakers, tells us why we have this insecure world. The Conference reached deep into the nitty gritty […]

  • The Munich “Security” Conference (MSC) Has Become a €20‑Million Militarist Echo Chamber

    The MSC’s closed groupthink militarism offers only one prescription — more weapons — even as record military expenditures, squeezed from taxpayers in economic crisis, destroy diplomacy and drive escalation and the highest war risks in decades. From Dialogue Forum to Militarised Ritual For decades, the Munich Security Conference (MSC) – which opened today and runs […]

  • Kidnapping Blues: The Maduro Abduction Precedent

    Once done, it remains, by nature and fact, irreversible. The precedent of indicting and abducting a serving head of state and his spouse, dropping them into the jurisdiction of another country to face criminal charges of inventive pedigree (narcoterrorism foremost among them), is the stuff of nightmares in international statecraft. With the now former Venezuelan […]

  • Europe’s Staged Panic over False Flag Non-Russian Drones?

    Officially, the drones were not identified. By simply thinking critically – which journalists and selected experts no longer do – there may be a good reason for that. And this article will never be mentioned in Denmark… Drones over Denmark. No damage. No trace. No answers. Yet the headlines scream “Russian threat,” and Prime Minister […]

  • Don’t be Fooled: Others Could Have More Interest in Sending Drones to the Nordic Countries than Russia

    Drones over Nordic airports. No damage. No trace. No answers. Most assume Russia—but what if that’s not so? Why is there so much we are not told? This article explores the strategic ambiguity behind recent drone incursions and asks: Who else might benefit from sending drones into NATO airspace? From Ukraine’s surprising drone supremacy to […]

  • The “Fat Boy Posse’s” Impending Attack on Iran

    Mesopotamia. Babylon. The Tigris and Euphrates. How many children in how many classrooms, over how many centuries, have been hang-glided through the past, transported on the wings of these words? And now the bombs are falling, incinerating and humiliating that ancient civilisation. On the steel torsos of their missiles, adolescent American soldiers scrawl colourful messages […]

  • Off to War We Go: Starmer’s Strategic Defence Review

    Unpopular governments always retreat to grounds of lazy convenience. Instead of engaging in exercises of courage, they take refuge in obvious distractions. And there is no more obvious distraction than preparing for war against a phantom enemy. That is exactly where the government of Sir Keir Starmer finds itself. Despite a mammoth majority and a […]

  • The Explosive Israeli Bomb

    When the United States sent the B-29 Super fortress bomber, Enola Gay, to drop “Little Boy” on an unwary Hiroshima and usher in the nuclear age, its administration neglected to plan for a major concern; how to prevent nuclear proliferation. Granted, America could not deter the Soviet Union and China from developing nuclear capabilities and […]
