So here we are in the 21st Century and Russia is in the middle of taking over Ukraine for no other reason except that they can. Putin the man prosecuting the war is going to be helped by China as they are looking to take over Taiwan. The problem with this is that the Ukrainian […]
Russia
Beast From The East
The cold snap from Russia is clearing out the population as the elderly and the very young struggle to cope with the cold weather, which can reach -13 degrees with the wind factor taken into account. As we wait for the postponed Spring it seems that Russia’s Putin is not only the source of the […]
Trump Hates Flynn
It has only taken 3 weeks to see the wheels fall off the Trump clown show jalopy. Mike Flynn the nut job racist, who hated Muslims and anything not aligned to his neo-nazi philosophy has gone. He went because he lied about giving the Russians guaranteed relief from US sanctions for their help in the […]
The Russian Boot Boys Devolution
It had to happen. There is a new bully in town and the English have been relegated. Last Saturday after all the hooligan books, films, study, pictures and tales, the English hooligan culture got battered by a new more extreme form of thuggery from Russia. Apparently these devolved human beings were flown over by the […]
Is Putin A Demigod?
Is Putin a demigod? Watching the unison of clapping that went on while he justified the reason for Russia’s to annexing of The Crimea, one phrase kept on coming into my mind.

Timing Is Everything
Poker as in life, timing is everything! Knowing when to make a move to get the desired outcome is such a finite quality that sometimes you cannot measure it and it therefore becomes an art. Some people like Machiavelli and Schumpeter tried to quantify this ability, but, in the end as Shakespeare said: All the […]
Putin’s Bluff Is Called
So Putin didn’t want to go into Syria because invading a country to save a population – the anti-Assad opposition – was not right. However, it is alright to invade Ukraine to protect a population so long as Russia is doing the invasion? Mr Snowden, Obama et al you’ve been had! Putin is looking to […]
Sochi Uproar
Sochi 2014 is Vladimir Putin big party to show the world how great Russia is. Apparently it is the most expensive games in history and will get more expensive when the bills roll in for the security. Primarily the security is about keeping the various separatist from using the games as a platform for their […]
There Will Be No War In Syria
Here is a prediction, there will be no war in Syria which will involve British troops! The government does not have the stomach for conflict and the nation could not be bothered to drop bombs on Damascus. It is not that the country is not bothered by potential weapons of mass destruction being used on unarmed […]
The Russians Are Coming!
The Russians are all over the news in the UK! They are at the heart of Germany’s beef with Cyprus. The Germans are claiming that the Cypriot banks are nothing more than clearing houses for Russian criminal gangs, therefore the Cypriot government should not get a bail out so that the money stashed by […]
