  • In last couple of days ads have been aired on TV in Australia promoting the disunited states as a fun holiday destination. We laughed as it aired (because of the awkwardly inappropriate message) about 15 minutes after another innocent has been shot by the american gestapo. You’d have to be mad to go to the du (disunited states) now if you are anything other than white male. Even then I suspect travel insurance will be reassessing premiums now that risks have escalated materially.

    Short answer is yes. Trump has proven that any alliance is useless. So every country needs the ultimate deterrent. That means nuclear and a reliable delivery system. Thats the only way Russia, the us, China or other aggressors can be held at bay. Ukraine and Venezuela probably both regretting decisions that removed their deterrent.





  • Welcome to the sixteenth century! When Queen Elizabeth couldn’t afford to go to war against Spain so created ‘letters of marque’ which legalised piracy against Spain and its empire. Single handedly created the pirate economy.

    Then, welcome to the eighteenth century, when america created the fiction of the Barbary Corsairs to legalise american piracy of the atlantic trade.

    Isnt it Mark Twain who states that history rhymes?
