With the extremely high possibility now of ‘President Hillary Clinton’, now seems a good time to anticipate what US foreign policy might look like under Hillary; and to recap some of the horror story of her foreign policy record to date. Aside from the fact that she’s a proven liar, schemer and conspirator, and even putting […]
Don’t usually share just videos or short posts, but this footage is worth sharing: particularly in the context of yesterday’s post on the escalating anti-Russia campaign in Western media. In this video, Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Affairs spokesperson, gets visibly annoyed at a journalist who asks her the familiar Washington-scripted question: why is Russia […]
The hawks in Washington are in full propaganda mode to justify war with Moscow. Everything is being thrown at Russia now: war crimes accusations in Syria, proposed suspension from the UN Security Council, MH-17, Eastern Ukraine, hacking allegations, covert support for Donald Trump, etc. All of it appears to be a concerted campaign to firmly […]
I was trying to actually take a short break from posting for a while; but the sheer level of BS being spewed as international powers desperately seek a renewed premise for military intervention in Syria is just stomach turning. The BS propaganda game is accelerating more every day. On TV, on the radio, in newspapers, […]
After various delays, international prosecutors are saying that Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was downed over eastern Ukraine (in 2014) by a Buk missile that had come from Russia. The Dutch-led joint investigation team (JIT) said the missile had been fired from a village under the control of pro-Russia rebels, citing “irrefutable evidence”. The report, which is […]

Kennedy. Famously, in that particular debate, the […]
Everything surrounding the violence and unrest in Charlotte has been fairly predictable – including most people’s reactions. People now tend to be already decided, before these things even happen, whether they believe the entire thing is an externally-orchestrated ‘civil unrest’ conspiracy or whether it is a legitimate social justice movement responding to known and widely circulated instances […]
You might’ve thought that the United States‘ policy in Syria couldn’t get any more confused or damaged: but the admission that a US air strike has killed somewhere between 60 to 83 soldiers of the Syrian Army is just about the worst thing, and at the worst time, that could’ve happened in terms of US […]
If anyone’s getting bored of me talking about the Libya intervention in 2011, I apologise – and I probably won’t do it again after this. But I just need to clear something up once and for all; because people keep arguing with me about this. Specifically, this post is addressed to anyone who keeps saying […]
Following in the wake of the Chilcot Report into the Iraq War, British MPs have issued a substantial condemnation of David Cameron and Britain’s key role in the collapse of Libya. It comes far too late; but it is nevertheless a significant moment and acknowledgement of the utter disaster that Britain played a substantial role in, […]
