KEEPING UKRAINE OUT OF NATO WILL NOT ADVANCE PEACE WITH RUSSIA

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) “open door” policy toward membership-seeking countries was never intended as an across-the-board policy. It has been implemented on a case-by-case basis, sometimes contingent on opportunities. The acceptance of new member countries has not necessarily been merit-based by NATO’s declared criteria, and undeclared conditions played their role.

The alliance’s open-door policy was not fully insulated from Russia’s nonstatutory blocking power, and NATO-aspirant countries’ path toward membership was not always irreversible. It has been closed when Russia stood forcefully across that path, as in Georgia’s case after 2008 and Ukraine’s after 2014.

THE EVAPORATION OF THE OBAMA MYSTIQUE

Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Biden nomination—and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years.

As such he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history.

Recall earlier that after a flailing candidate Joe Biden lost the first three 2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere.

Barack Obama and fellow Democratic insiders abruptly engineered the withdrawal of his rival 2020 presidential candidates: hard left but likely sure-loser candidates, including Bernie Sanders, (more…)

THE TRANS CULT IS CRUMBLING IN EUROPE — NOW IT’S AMERICA’S TURN WITH TRUMP

Whoever would have thought that chopping off the healthy breast tissue of 14-year-old girls could mean you end up in court?

Well, anyone, actually, who has been paying any attention to the gender madness of the last decade. In the US, where the practice of medicine is particularly connected to the practice of law, I predict a deluge of court cases over what has been done to children in the name of “gender affirming care”.

Last week, 20-year-old Clementine Breen filed a medical negligence claim against a Los Angeles-based doctor, Johanna Olson-Kennedy, claiming she was rushed into irreversible treatment (more…)

TRUMPISM IS GOING GLOBAL

Buckle your seatbelts because President-elect Donald Trump has ignited a worldwide revolt against the arrogance of global elites.

We are entering a brand-new era of rebellion — man against the self-serving, out-of-touch political machines that ignore the will of the governed.

Everywhere.

Look around. The world is a mess. Entrenched political leaders and parties are being tumultuously evicted in Europe, South America, the Middle East and Asia.  Syria is this week’s massively disastrous mess.

In Britain, the Conservative Party grew government, lost its moorings and was chased from office, only to be replaced by an economically incompetent Party that (more…)

BLACK LIVES MATTER LOSES ITS MOJO

On Monday (12/09), Daniel Penny was found Not Guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the choking death of Jordan Neely.

In May of 2023, Neely boarded a New York City subway train and began to threaten other passengers. Penny and a few others subdued Neely until police arrived. Neely ultimately died, and Penny was charged with second-degree manslaughter in addition to criminally negligent homicide.  For most Americans, Penny was seen as a hero, a good Samaritan jumping in to help his fellow citizens in a dangerous situation.

PUTIN’S REGIME MAY BE CLOSER TO A SOVIET COLLAPSE THAN WE THINK

Vladimir Putin’s loss of a key regional ally in Bashar al-Assad has weakened Moscow at a crucial moment.

For while the war in Ukraine reges on the battlefield, Russia is losing the economic conflict. The Kremlin’s oil export revenues are too low to sustain a high-intensity war and nobody will lend Vladimir Putin a kopeck.

Russia’s overheated, military-Keynesian war economy looks much like the dysfunctional German war economy of late 1917, which had run out of skilled manpower and was holed below the waterline after three years of Allied blockade – as the logistical failures of the Ludendorff offensive would (more…)
