Ursula Von Der Leyen, the President of the European Commission has proposed that Europe increase its defense spending by 1.5% GDP over the average 2.0% GDP European countries are currently spending on defense. She fears that Europe has to defend itself and she understands that the United States probably will […]
This scenario is increasingly in America and Russia’s shared interests vis-à-vis their “New Détente”. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban predicted late last month that “Ukraine, or what remains of it, will once again be a buffer zone” between NATO and Russia once the conflict inevitably ends. His rationale is that it’ll be […]
The war in Ukraine is, but in reverse, the same situation that America’s President JFK had faced with regard to the Soviet Union in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, when the U.S. would have invaded Cuba if Khrushchev wouldn’t agree to a mutually acceptable settlement — which he did, and […]

This is a commentary upon the (Democratic Party’s — or liberal — billionaires’) ‘Public Broadcasting System’s (PBS) youtube video of the dispute that took place in the White House on February 28th between Donald Trump and Volodmyr Zelensky (who knows that the 2014 overthrow and replacement of Ukraine’s democratically elected […]
