We live in dangerous times, and politicians are happy to be cheerleaders of that supposed fact. They do not care to reassure; they merely care to strike fear into hearts and feed the sort of pernicious despondency that encourages conflict. Hope is not a political currency worth trading. These days, […]
For a month, the accumulation of critical events around the United States, Ukraine and the European Union has been difficult to interpret because each power has been advancing in disguise. European leaders assume a stupid air by assuring that they continue to support the Ukrainian integral nationalists while Washington and […]
The CDU and the SPD continue to propose ways to resolve the migration issue that have nothing to do with reality. Friedrich Merz decided to simply restrict entry into the country. However, such a measure has already been tested by the previous government and proved to be ineffective. Most likely, […]
There is a phenomenally good website that provides daily news-reports on the basically dictatorial inner workings of, and mass-mind-control methods being imposed by, the UK and U.S. armaments-manufacturers’-controlled government, which government’s #1 priority — and which therefore constantly guides its actions and its propaganda — is to constantly increase the sales-volumes and thus […]
The estimated €800 billion in defense spending that’s supposed to follow in the next four years might sound impressive, but it becomes much less so when considering the difficulties in optimizing this. The EU swiftly responded to Trump’s decision to freeze all military aid to Ukraine by having European Commission President Ursula […]
The idea was to keep NATO – and what is NATO, it’s the United States – off of Russia’s border – no more, no less. Renowned American economist Jeffrey Sachs delivered a frank address to the European Parliament, in which he harshly criticized the US actions to unleash the conflict […]
The urge to throw more money at defence budgets across a number of countries has become infectious. It was bound to happen with Donald Trump’s return to the White House, given his previous insistence that US allies do more to fatten their own armies rather than rely on the largesse of […]
U.S. President Trump is misrepresenting to allege that he is making progress in his attempt to get Ukraine’s leader Volodmyr Zelensky to accept ending the war in Ukraine on any other basis than defeating Russia outright (no compromise). When I reported, on March 1st, about “The Trump-v.-Zelensky Comedy Show” which had been […]
Last week, I recounted the events concerning the Ukrainian conflict, emphasizing that the French president, Emmanuel Macron, as brilliant as he is, was incapable of adapting to changes in the world. This week, I take the same elements, and many others that followed, to show that the divorce of Europeans […]
European politicians were grinding. There are no more figures like Angela Merkel, Jacques Chirac, Gerhard Schroeder or Tony Blair. There is only Emmanuel Macron left in the political firmament of Europe, who has at least some influence on the processes taking place both inside and outside Europe. At least, that’s […]
