If it were only the Ukraine the war would have long been over. The West block has supplied more than $500 billion in aid to the Ukraine, that's more than twice the US lend/lease to the Soviet Union in 2026 dollars. Plus intelligen

They're not. Rather, the organizers of war – typically rich and powerful people in or close to London or Washington – use their propaganda networks to play these popular cards of culture and identity. Don't confuse the cause and t

Boeing proposes sth called the “Boeing Honeywell Uninterruptible Autopilot” to add drone-like remote control capabilities to its airliners (for security reasons, obviously). I'm not aware of a similar offering for Airbus but I have no

Thanks for your kind comment. When I briefly visited Vancouver (long time ago), my hosts took me to the museum where Indian art like large wooden eagles was exhibited (may have been moa.ubc.ca), and I learnt that they had a feast called Pot

“National masochism” is a particularly perverse kind of “virtue signaling”. It is the urge and need to malign and disavow your own nation and history, to trample and spit and urinate on it, and – especially – to do so in front of your perce

« we don't televise their deaths » — Wikileaks did, at least tried to, but bravely filling in these gaps in the footage had regrettable consequences. Assange had to stay a couple years imprisoned in am embassy till they struck a deal.

Yes, the increased effectiveness of cheap weapons is positive for the global underdogs. And the enormous military network the US entertains is costly. Which is why they have vassals (to foot the bills, at least in part). We'll see how
