Is the World Important to America?

That this question needs to be addressed is a testament to the abject failure of modern education. The answer is yes. And now you want to know why, don’t you? Kids today. When I was their age if I wanted to know something I had to walk all the way to the library, uphill, in the snow, both ways! They have the entire Encyclopedia Britannica in their pockets and can’t look up how to spell ‘boo’. It’s B-O-O. Seriously, what’s … Continue reading “Is the World Important to America?”

Is America Important to the World?

Yes. Oh, details again? So, what do you think would happen if the US disappeared tomorrow? Forget the cataclysmic stuff from a suddenly missing continent – if the US could safely just move to Mars what would happen? Okay, okay, after the shock wore off. The four contenders for ‘next super power’ are: the EU, India, China and Russia. No, you missed the ride so you can’t move to the US. Who do you want for your next world dominating … Continue reading “Is America Important to the World?”

Is Ukraine Important to America?

/ Yes. Oh, you wanted the why part? Why didn’t you say so? Russia wants to be the sole superpower. Russia is going to be a pain in the neck until it either gets what it – and no one else sane – wants or until it gets smacked hard enough to come to its collective senses. We seem to be in the middle of that latter one with Ukraine right now. Let Russia bash its brains out on Ukraine. … Continue reading “Is Ukraine Important to America?”

Will Trump Destroy Ukraine?

Nope. See y’all next… You guys are really into details aren’t you? Okay, from the top. Trump is a businessman and a deal maker. He might not like a given policy but he’s not going to sacrifice all the assets just to dump the policy. If he were going to do stupid stuff like that he’d have pulled out of Afghanistan as disastrously as Biden did. Trump isn’t going to miss a good opportunity for a deal. So yes, he’s … Continue reading “Will Trump Destroy Ukraine?”

Will China Attack Russia?

Probably. I know what you’re thinking – China will invade Taiwan. That’s all anyone talks about! Of course they will attack Taiwan! Russia and China are friends! China will definitely invade Taiwan! It’s possible but getting less likely by the day. Maybe by the minute. On paper, China would be a pain in the backside for the US and her allies to fend off and keep out of Taiwan. In reality, China stands no chance whatsoever of defeating Taiwan, let … Continue reading “Will China Attack Russia?”

Democrat Election Interference is Happening and the Democrats are Still Losing

Isn’t it amazing that all the prosecutors in the various Trump indictments need to set trial dates right in the middle of the critical part of the primaries? It’s not like Trump needs to campaign or anything. I will grant that his current massive lead against DeSantis may indicate less urgency for getting the Republican nomination. Thing is, the primaries do more than merely determine the nominees. The primary campaigns are also important for the general election. Isn’t it mighty … Continue reading “Democrat Election Interference is Happening and the Democrats are Still Losing”

What Else is Wrong with BRICS?

All three of you following this blog – thanks, so much! – were probably wondering if the enlargement of BRICS matters, especially after I just got through dismissing BRICS as a potential challenger to the US Dollar. In a word, no. In a much longer word: Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha! <Giggle> Okay, okay, let’s start with the elephant in the room. Saudi Arabia. Give me a sec, I can’t do this with a straight face. Yes, yes, Saudi Arabia has all that oil. … Continue reading “What Else is Wrong with BRICS?”

Throwing BRICS

Yes, yes, I know. The US is being overthrown as the sole superpower. The dollar is being dethroned. ACK! Run for the hills! I believe I’ve mentioned this before but nation states are resilient little buggers. I may not have mentioned that the US invented resilience. Okay, so we didn’t invent it but we did corner the market. We’re that rare nation state that has a hard time destroying itself. Not for the lack of trying but as a nation, … Continue reading “Throwing BRICS”

Indictment 3.0: How to Destroy DOJ Credibility in Three Easy Steps

In case you somehow missed it, the January 6 they are referring to occurred on January 6, 2021. Now, I’m no legal genius or even an attorney but seems to me that it doesn’t take THREE YEARS to simply bring an indictment. Unless, of course, you’re deliberately dragging out the process for political purposes. You know, like interfering in the electoral process by damaging the frontrunner’s reputation and keeping him constantly busy in court instead of on the campaign trail. … Continue reading “Indictment 3.0: How to Destroy DOJ Credibility in Three Easy Steps”

Russian Desperation

If you think the coup attempt in Niger is unrelated to the Ukrainian War, you’re sadly mistaken. We’re getting kinda used to the nuclear saber rattling. It barely gets a reaction any longer. But what, you ask, does a coup in Niger have to do with anything? Well, everything. France has close ties to Niger. Niger is a former French colony. At the moment protestors are flying the Russian flag. Russian? Yep. As most of you probably know Russia’s pet … Continue reading “Russian Desperation”
