The 28 point plan has its own logic and its hoped-for consequences would appear to be in some ways consistent with American interests. However, this is not so simple as it would appear from the perspective of the current American administration. Washington wants peace at literally any price and does not take European interests intoContinue reading “Avoiding WWIII”

The EU Imposes Master-Slave Morality & Utilitarianism on the Jews
The Zionist movement was launched in the 1890s in no insignificant part by Jewish intellectuals influenced by the pro-Jewish philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The idea was to get rid of European slave morality and chart a new route as free people in their own country without neither slave morality nor master morality. Utilitarianism is aContinue reading “The EU Imposes Master-Slave Morality & Utilitarianism on the Jews”
Israel Promotes American Interests in the Middle East
There is a growing view in Europe among leaders and diplomats, particularly in France that Israel has become too strong and victorious and ”must be put in its proper place”, meaning the weak and dead Jews rather than free and strong and in pursuit of joint American-Israeli interests. Europeans should be told in no uncertainContinue reading “Israel Promotes American Interests in the Middle East”
No to Forever Wars in Gaza
Why has the Gaza war gone on as long as it has? Israel was under pressure from the Biden administration which long prevented an Israeli victory. Israel must liberate the entire Gaza region from Hamas thugs and thus stabilize the area. Will this end the conflict? Not quite. However concentrating Gazans to the Rafah areaContinue reading “No to Forever Wars in Gaza”
Why NATO Military Intervention in Ukraine won’t Lead to WWIII
Why have NATO countries not already militarily intervened in Ukraine? The reason is highly effective Russian strategic deterrence. The blatant fear in the West is that Russia will invade the EU, but that is impossible as long as Russian forces are stuck in Ukraine. As long as the Ukraine war goes on the EU isContinue reading “Why NATO Military Intervention in Ukraine won’t Lead to WWIII”
The US Russia Strategy Doesn’t Work
The US needs a different Russia strategy as the current one simply does not work. Appeasing Russia did not work, rather the effect is that of whetting Russia’s appetite for territorial conquest of the European Union; i.e. WWIII, something which the US must strive to avoid at any and all cost. Rather, the abject USContinue reading “The US Russia Strategy Doesn’t Work”
Saving the Masalit People
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) perpetrates genocide through repeated massacres against the Masalit people in West Darfur, Sudan. People of conscience everywhere must rise to action and indeed affirm that Black lives matter. Nations that do care about the lives of Black Africans (most people obviously do not) could send forces to protect the Masalit.Continue reading “Saving the Masalit People”
Existential War
Some wars are not existential, others are. Why is it that NATO does not deter Russia considering Russia’s plans for conquering the European Union? The answer is that the Chinese threat trumps Western defenses. The entire Russia outside of the major cities is thinly populated and thus suitable for Han (Sinitic, ethnically Chinese) colonization. ThisContinue reading “Existential War”
European Forces are Needed to Defend Siberia
The West has for decades since the end of the Cold War mismanaged the Russia file. Early on, Putin wanted Russia to join NATO and the EU but was rebuffed by the Europeans. A Swedish diplomat told me that Russia was ”too big” for EU membership. Obviously, Russian membership in NATO and the EU wouldContinue reading “European Forces are Needed to Defend Siberia”
Europe Must Fully Participate in the Encirclement of China
The world is threatened by WWIII at the hands of Russia and by WWIV at the hands of China. Both conflicts must not only be avoided but sternly prevented by means of robust military force buildup. Russia is well aware of China’s plans for WWIV and does not plan to become a victim. China plansContinue reading “Europe Must Fully Participate in the Encirclement of China”
NATO is not a US Interest
The US should give the European Union an harsh ultimatum. Replace national militaries with a unified European military before the US withdraws from NATO in a few years time. There was a time when NATO well served American interests but this is longer so. Instead, NATO has become a parasitic burden that if the USContinue reading “NATO is not a US Interest”
The NATO Paper Tiger Doesn’t Deter Russia
European defense policy is premised on the outdated notion that NATO somehow deters Russia. NATO does not deter Russia as Russia in fact plans to invade EU countries in the years to come. It is absurd that the European Union with 450 million citizens is threatened by the Russian Federation with 140 million citizens andContinue reading “The NATO Paper Tiger Doesn’t Deter Russia”
It’s All About China Stupid!
For three decades the West mismanaged the Russia file. By expanding NATO and the EU eastwards without considering making Russia a candidate for membership in either organization, the West effectively created a monster in Moscow. The only real threat against Russia does not come from Europe and America but rather from China which in aContinue reading “It’s All About China Stupid!”
Trump Shows Europe the Way
US President Donald Trump is exhibiting some tough parenting skills vis-a-vis Europe. Although the GDP of the European Union at 20 trillion USD is not as large as the GDP of the United States at 29 trillion USD, nevertheless the population of the European Union with 450 million citizens is much larger than that ofContinue reading “Trump Shows Europe the Way”
Borrell’s Musings
Josep Borrell has decided to once more express his personal opinions on Israel’s war against genocidal Jihadism in Gaza rather than the European Union’s official standpoint. Those prejudices of his are so outrageous that they require immediate correction.
Peculiar?
European governments are unhappy with Russia funding Communists and Nazis in their own countries but they do not seem to understand why Israel is unhappy with Europe funding Anti-Semites in Israel. Whoah? Are European governments and the European Union funding Anti-Semites in Israel? Yes, according to the EU-approved IHRA definition of Anti-Semitism and its 11Continue reading “Peculiar?”
Post-Putin Russia Must be Enticed to Democratize and Liberalize
As Ukraine is preparing for its 2023 Spring Offensive should the Western world already now form a policy for dealing with a defeated post-Putin Russia that has been kicked out of Ukraine. Yes, it appears that Vladimir Putin will not ever admit defeat and withdraw from occupied Ukraine but will fight till the last dropContinue reading “Post-Putin Russia Must be Enticed to Democratize and Liberalize”
Is it Legitimate for Biden to Protect Israeli Democracy?
Democracies should be looking out for each other whether the threats are internal or external. There is nothing exceptional about a government in a liberal democracy appointing judges to the supreme court, the problem is that the Israeli government intended to politicize the high court in its own favor. Of course, judicial review is notContinue reading “Is it Legitimate for Biden to Protect Israeli Democracy?”
Liberal Democracies Should Care for Each Other
The Israeli government is wrong in rejecting the European Union expressing concerns regarding the judicial overhaul considering that it has problematic aspects that need to fixed, preferably through a consensual comprise. The intention of Brussels is pure, they care about Israeli liberal democracy and any patriotic Israeli or friend of Israel certainly ought to welcomeContinue reading “Liberal Democracies Should Care for Each Other”
Will Putin be Unseated?
Many Western experts on Russia have suggested that President Putin will be unseated once Russia has lost the war in Ukraine. This is an interesting question because it is typically predicated on the false assumption that this is “Putin’s war” rather than “the GRU’s war”. Vladimir Putin is not a young man at age 70Continue reading “Will Putin be Unseated?”
Iran Must be Deterred and Contained
In light of the new Russo-Iranian Molotov-Ribbentrop pact whereby Russia gets Europe and Iran gets the Arab world, it is necessary for threatened nations to reevaluate their relations with Iran. Saudi-Israeli peace and normalization can happen any day of the week once Washington and Riyadh agree on the terms and then the next step isContinue reading “Iran Must be Deterred and Contained”
What is the Kurdish Interest in WWIII?
What is the Kurdish interest in terms of the approaching WWIII? It should be noted that WWIII can still be prevented by crushing the Russian war machine in Ukraine. However, how should AANES and KRG maneuver in anticipation of WWIII? It should always be kept in mind that NES and KRI are embryonic Kurdish statesContinue reading “What is the Kurdish Interest in WWIII?”
The Success of Russian Psychological Warfare
Russia is currently suffering tactical military defeat on the battlefield in Ukraine and is exhausting its military assets. Yet the outcome is still a stalemate and a military deadlock on the battlefield. However, the Russians are prevailing on the strategic level because they are succeeding in their psychological warfare against NATO and the United States.Continue reading “The Success of Russian Psychological Warfare”
A Bipartisan Strategy for Great Power Competition for the Next 50 Years
There is not much disagreement between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party on Russia and China and there won’t be on Iran once the negotiation track is definitely declared dead. What is needed is a threepronged bipartisan global strategy for the next 50 years. Russia, China and Iran each require a unique strategy ofContinue reading “A Bipartisan Strategy for Great Power Competition for the Next 50 Years”
Once Iran Conquers the Gulf States
Iran is bent on taking control over the Twelver eschatological region which includes the cities of Mecca, Jerusalem and Damascus where the Islamic messianic figures of the Mahdi (identified by Twelvers with the Hidden Imam), the Dajjal (the Deceitful Messiah) and Jesus are slated to appear at the conclusion of Islamic history. Control over thisContinue reading “Once Iran Conquers the Gulf States”
US-Saudi Defense Pact Will Enable US to Disengage from the Middle East
The US must make more demands from its allies around the world. They must invest far more in defense and engage more in collective security. In the case of the European Union they must build their own unified military capability to wean themselves off dependence on America. While the US needs to commit to defendContinue reading “US-Saudi Defense Pact Will Enable US to Disengage from the Middle East”
The West Needs to Shift Paradigm on Ukraine Military Funding
The outcome of the current level of Western militarily deliveries to Kyiv is to effectively keep democratic Ukraine on life support and produce a deadlock between Russia and Ukraine. The Armed Forces of Ukraine (ZSU) are highly capable, professional, motivated and able to defeat Russia and kick out every last occupying Russian soldier from sovereignContinue reading “The West Needs to Shift Paradigm on Ukraine Military Funding”
Appeasement is Dangerous
There are more and more diplomatically influential Westerners who behind the political curtains make the case that Ukraine will need to make territorial concessions to Russia in order to attain peace. This completely misunderstands the conflict which is a zero-sum game where both parties to the conflict want the entire Ukraine and are completely unwillingContinue reading “Appeasement is Dangerous”
Putin Must be Humiliated to Change Course
There are voices coming out of Europe claiming that Russian president Vladimir Putin must be saved from “humiliation” in order to protect the potential for a negotiated solution. Nothing could be more wrong, in contrast what is required is a comprehensive military defeat for Moscow in Ukraine whereby the last Russian soldier is kicked outContinue reading “Putin Must be Humiliated to Change Course”
There is Nothing to Negotiate
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has long made it known that the conflict will ostensibly end at the negotiating table. It is a common tactic for parties to armed conflicts to give an impression of being open to “negotiations” and “compromise” in order to garner international sympathy. However, in this case is it ill-advised because itContinue reading “There is Nothing to Negotiate”
President Biden Should Hire Jared Kushner
While it is certainly legitimate to be critical of the Trump administration, what is indisputable is Jared Kushner’s vital role in advancing normalization between Israel and Muslim nations. Jared Kushner gained tremendous trust in the Muslim world, including in Riyadh and when the Biden administration came into office the wave of normalization came to anContinue reading “President Biden Should Hire Jared Kushner”
Russia’s Successful Nuclear Deterrence
Under what conditions would Russia be willing to use tactical nuclear weapons? It is important to understand that nuclear weapons are mainly psychological weapons. They are meant for psychological deterrence, mainly not to be used, as using strategic nuclear weapons is out of question in Europe. This surely opens the question under what circumstances andContinue reading “Russia’s Successful Nuclear Deterrence”
Putin’s Gazprom Gambit
Russia’s illegal cancellation of its contracts for delivery of natural gas to Poland and Bulgaria is a transparent attempt at divide and rule. Moscow is trying to divide EU nations among themselves in an attempt to deter the West from providing Ukraine with more heavy weapons. Of course, Russia will not cancel its deliveries ofContinue reading “Putin’s Gazprom Gambit”
Every Inch of Ukrainian Territory
The US government has since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine famously rhetorically committed to the defense of “every inch of NATO territory”. The US policy in defense of Ukraine has been more ambiguous and which aims at “slowing down the Russian advance”. However at one point the Ukrainians decided to go on theContinue reading “Every Inch of Ukrainian Territory”
Russia Must be Defeated at all Cost
British prime minister Boris Johnson remarked the other day that there was a “realistic possibility” that Russia would win the war against Ukraine. We must make sure that this does not happen under any circumstances and the effective policy of underarming Ukraine must cease. President Zelensky should not have to complain about having insufficient weaponryContinue reading “Russia Must be Defeated at all Cost”
The Case for a Tripartite Democratic World Order
The rise of the three neo-imperialist powers of China, Iran and Russia and the inevitability that China will eventually grow more powerful than America due to China’s greater demographic size once Beijing begins to economically catch up with Washington requires a new world order. Rather than one democratic superpower should we envision a world orderContinue reading “The Case for a Tripartite Democratic World Order”
The West Should Deter Russia and Not Vice Versa
Russia has finally launched its Donbas offensive with much of the Russian army in place in eastern Ukraine. The United States and its NATO allies have had ample time to fully arm Ukraine since the February 24 invasion but have not done even remotely enough for fear of angering Moscow. Russia has been quite successfulContinue reading “The West Should Deter Russia and Not Vice Versa”
Why the Russians are Lying on Ukraine
Moscow is infamous for its worldwide disinformation campaigns. Not only was it Czarist Russian intelligence which devised the infamous forgery of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and Soviet intelligence (or even Josef Stalin himself) which coined the neologism “dezinformatsiya”. The KGB through Operation SIG is also also the origin of most contemporary Anti-Semitism,Continue reading “Why the Russians are Lying on Ukraine”
How the West Misunderstands Russia and Iran
Western specialists tend to underemphasize the importance of state ideology in the foreign policy of Iran. In contrast, Western specialists tend to overemphasize the importance of state ideology in the foreign policy of Russia. There is the tendency to label the Russian leadership as irrational and dangerous while the Iranian leadership is not similarly labeledContinue reading “How the West Misunderstands Russia and Iran”
There is no Alternative to Total Victory
Although there are ongoing so-called “negotiations” between Ukraine and Russia while Russia is pulverizing Ukrainian cities, it is clear that there is no alternative to the total liberation of Ukraine. Furthermore, there is in practice no alternative to full Ukrainian membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union. The ephemeral talk ofContinue reading “There is no Alternative to Total Victory”
The US Needs to Provide Incentives to Saudi Arabia
In 2021 Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman al-Saud made a generous offer to US National Security Advisory Jake Sullivan. MBS offered to normalize relations with Israel in return for a list of demands for so-called “incentives” (i.e. security guarantees and weapons sales). The Americans not only inexplicably turned down the generous offer but apparently rudelyContinue reading “The US Needs to Provide Incentives to Saudi Arabia”
Why Russia does not Want to Change Course
Two decades ago, Vladimir Putin asked the West to allow Russia to become a member of NATO. This informal request was promptly rebuffed. What view does Russia take of the option of a US-led Asian defense alliance encircling China? For Russia this is primarily a question of lack of trust or to put it differently,Continue reading “Why Russia does not Want to Change Course”
How Important is Russian Imperialism?
Russia remains stuck in the Ukrainian quagmire and now the Ukrainians are going on the offensive to retake Russian-occupied territories. Moscow however remains defiant in refusing to acknowledge defeat. It is abundantly clear that Russia’s astounding military failure is as much because of the incompetence, corruption and low morale of the Russian occupation forces asContinue reading “How Important is Russian Imperialism?”
China’s Planned Conquests
China is not only expansionist in an economic sense. Densely populated China is bordered by thinly populated vast territories rich in natural resources to its west and north which are completely irresistible to Han China. China is a highly sophisticated state which has learned the lesson of historical empires and Beijing knows the dangers ofContinue reading “China’s Planned Conquests”
Israel Does its Part by Receiving Jewish Refugees from Ukraine
There is no need for Israel to receive refugees from Ukraine not eligible under Israel’s Law of Return. The European Union has completely opened its door to the influx of refugees from Ukraine with no questions asked. Israel is doing its part in providing a refuge to fleeing Ukrainians by accepting those eligible under theContinue reading “Israel Does its Part by Receiving Jewish Refugees from Ukraine”
It’s not About Ukraine – It’s About Europe
Russian propaganda has been successful in spreading the misconception that the current conflict is about Ukraine. Baltic governments have been consistently warning that the invasion of Ukraine is merely the opening salvo of WWIII. This is a classical war of imperial conquest. Russian propaganda claims that Europe is interested in conquering Russian wealth but thisContinue reading “It’s not About Ukraine – It’s About Europe”
Inside the Mind of Vladimir Putin
There has been a wide range of attempts to pathologize Russian president Vladimir Putin to explain the Ukraine war. It is surprising that otherwise rational and highly educated observers assume that the Russian system suddenly operates without an elaborate strategy. Putin’s Russia has always been similar in its geostrategic behavior to the former Soviet Union,Continue reading “Inside the Mind of Vladimir Putin”
Ukraine’s Israel Moment
In 1948 the world assumed that the Jews were finished and faced imminent defeat and almost no one wanted to supply Israel with weapons. Similarly in 1967, Israel’s great power ally France assumed that Israel faced defeat and ended all weapons deliveries to Israel. However, Israel gained international respect when it proved that it couldContinue reading “Ukraine’s Israel Moment”
The World from the Perspective of Beijing
Beijing is in the phase of building itself up as a superpower economically, politically, militarily and technologically. How does Beijing relate to Washington? China is not really hostile towards America but is determined to overtake the United States as the only superpower. China has not yet reached the phase of territorial expansion and has noContinue reading “The World from the Perspective of Beijing”
The Death of the Liberal World Order
The US project of imposing a liberal world order has a long pedigree going back to US president Woodrow Wilson a century ago. The pro-democracy efforts by US President George W. Bush resulted in the Arab spring years later but failed to establish liberal democracy other than in Tunisia where it did not last. WithContinue reading “The Death of the Liberal World Order”
