The futility of one month of Saudi airstrikes.

  http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/21/saudi-arabia-airstrikes-yemen-military-campaign-end Saudi Arabia declares end to Yemen air strikes after four weeks of bombing People gather near the rubble of houses destroyed by Saudi air strikes   Saudi Arabia ends its month long air camapign.The net result has acheived nothing except the deaths of countless numbers of civilians and even more hostility towards the regime in Riyadh and the ruling family, both in Yemen and amongst the vast majority of Saudi Arabian people. The Saudi government and the royal family however have more than enough of the most up to date western supplied weaponary and aircraft to maintain control within their own borders and now have the addition of the American aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and the cruiser USS Normandy to bolster their defences against the perceived "threat" of Iran. The Yanks are comming! USS Theodore Roosevelt The paranoid mentality of ...

United States foreign policy, is part of the problem, not the solution.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/putin-accuses-us-of-causing-global-instability-9816775.html    Putin says US 'throwing its might' is to blame for almost all the world's major conflicts President Vladimir Putin   Whether we like Putin or not, we cannot escape the reality that he is absolutely right. Viet Nam, Grenada, Panama, Chile, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, and numerous other places together with countless covert operations against democratic (and non democratic) governments and countries around the world provide compelling evidence that American foreign policy since 1945 is based upon a policy of intervention, which itself causes global instability. The "shoulder to shoulder, pro America, the United States can do no wrong", lobby will no doubt respond to the comments coming out of Sochi, with the usual hysterical anti Russian, but predominately anti Putin, rhetoric, as if shouting insults and personal abuse s...

The "Playground Bully" rounding up his "gang"

  http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/01/nato-high-readiness-spearhead-force-counter-russian-threat Nato to create high-readiness force to counter Russian threat       US President Obama and NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen Complete lunacy from Anders Fogh Rasmussen, trotting out  words scripted in Washington under the guise of, "NATO says". The playground bully of Washington wearing its NATO cape,  wanders around dragooning other people into their "gang", to intimidate Russia to bow to Uncle Sam and succumb to the Great American plan for the world. As many (but not all unfortunately) learned from their school days in the "quad", the way to deal with the bully is to look him firmly in the eye, deliver a swift size 10 or whatever between his thighs and cause his nose to bleed profusely with either fist or forehead. Should  Rasmussen, Obama or any other incumbent of the Whitehouse expect me to have any part, no matte...

The European Union, NATO and the unfolding conflict in Ukraine.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-crisis-eu-summit-seeks-to-show-it-backs-kiev-9701806.html EU summit seeks to show it backs Kiev   Pro Russia militia in Ukraine Why is NATO with its mouthpiece Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the European Union, with as many mouth pieces as there are member states and not quite behind the scenes, the ringmaster United States, engineering a confrontation with Russia? Rasmussen bleats that it is unacceptable for "foreign" troops to be in another country's territory and yet fails (presumably) to see the irony with the comparison to Iraq or Afghanistan or Syria. E U Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, mumbles that, "it isn't too late for a political solution", presumably with the implied threat that E U troops would go trundling over the border grab Ukraine (Unlikely, just looked what happened the last time a European "leader" had the same idea). All the while in the background some...

European Union Trade deal with United States, surrendering to multinational corporations

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/british-sovereignty-at-risk-from-euus-trade-deal-uk-in-danger-of-surrendering-judicial-independence-to-multinational-corporations-warn-activists-9057318.html British sovereignty ‘at risk’ from EU-US trade deal The domination of Europe,the Middle East and ultimately the world, by the use of corporate and where necessary military force, is and always has been at the top of the American agenda. We need only to look at the Neo Conservative manifesto and to observe how American influence has become more dominant in many parts of the world since the end of the Second World War, to appreciate the threats associated with further appeasement to the American dream.   As Churchill once said in the 1930's, in relation to "Mein Kampf", when commenting on the speculation by the Chamberlain Government about the intentions of Hitler, "Why gaze into the crystal ball when you can read the book?"
