61 billion US Dollars will help destroy whatever is left of Ukraine

When we look at the pictures of Gaza, we can imagine the damage that 61 billion US Dollars will do to Ukraine, transforming Ukraine into a bombing site.

Those who believe that adding more weapons to the conflict in Ukraine they will help Ukraine they are fooling themselves. All they will do is to accelerate the process of complete destruction of Ukraine. Not a building, not a tree, will be left standing. There will only be rubble on top of rubble and it will be difficult to walk around without stepping onto unexploded munition. Polluted and dangerous land for many years to come. This will be the direct consequence of adding more weaponry.

Even if peace were to come as the consequence of peace negotiations, it will take decades to restore whatever has been destroyed and the memories of the conflict will stay in peoples' minds for generations. The monies spent today should have been spent decades ago to maintain a viable economy, but politicians that are very good at making meaningless declarations never intended to deliver what they were promising. Long before the conflict of today, Ukraine was the victim of endemic corruption and geopolitical games that created the conflict.

You can imagine that, as it happened in Iraq, vast amounts of money will ensure that there is even greater corruption and very little accountability and that very much of the said monies will end up in foreign bank accounts owned by the same oligarchs that created the situation that led to internal strife. A vast chunk of the weapons will end up in the black market and will be possibly used in conflicts worldwide.

Geopolitics: Those who are at the bottom of the pile, get the worst deal

 

What the conflict in Palestine has proven once again that you only get justice if you are powerful. From this point of view Adolf Hitler was absolutely right. The winner will not be accountable. Therefore, the aim is to win by whatever means.

If you have power, you have friends. If you don't have power, you are on your own and bound to suffer the consequences of being weak.

This is why the death of 1400 Israelies was used as a justification to kill more than 36,000 people in Palestine and demolish entire tows and is also used as justification to raid properties and throw out and/or kill its occupants because... because they are not strong enough to resist.

Justice can be bought by having enough powerful friends and enough money. Countries that exist in the most disastrous conditions don't get any financial support. Quite the opposite. They are forced to hand out their national resources while Israel gets several billions of US Dollars and the military support of others including the United Kingdom.

Morality tells that you should not sell weapons used for Genocide, but money is more important that morality and this is why politicians paid by British taxpayers are more than happy to go out and support genocide and ethnic cleansing.

If Israel persists, things will be worse for all concerned

 

If Israel persists in its attempts to provoke Iran, economies around the world will suffer and the chances of a widespread all out war will increase.

The Middle East is still one of the richest nations when it comes to energy resources that most countries in the world need. If for whatever reason, the Middle East ceases to be what it is in terms of energy resources, energy prices worldwide will skyrocket and world economies that are now on the brink or already in crisis will fall apart with tragic social and political consequences.

The Red Sea and the Suez Canal are still key areas for world energy and world trade. Already insurance premiums in certain parts of the wold are rising - if a region is seen as dangerous, then transport across the said region will cost more in accordance to the danger. If an oil cargo is sunk then the spread of oil and damages to sea life and the environment will be added to financial costs. But there are also other risks that must be taken into consideration. If the Jordan River were to be poisoned, a vital supply of water for local and regional populations will be compromised. You can have as many weapons you could possibly have, but the absence of drinkable water can make any amount of weapons absolutely useless. Chemical or biological contamination could render habited areas uninhabitable. Water is a make or break resource. When one country threatens to use a harsher response, you don't forcefully think about weapons or troops. You must think about vital resources and if you cannot protect vital resources then your country has no future at all. For Israel, no amount of American aide can replace water. Without usable water, Israel or any other country will be finished.

Israel/Iran: another chapter. Israel deliberately provoked Iran

 

Israel deliberately provoked Iran. It was Israel that targetted research Iranian installations in Iran some years ago and has always had on its agenda a direct attack against Iran.

Iran chose to respond moderately and pre-announced the launching of drones and missiles to minimize the number of potential casualties. This was a message to deter Israel from continuing a murderous campaign in Palestine and against its neighbours.

The next chapter has not been written. It will depend on Israeli actions in the near future. Nostradamus predicted a nuclear holocaust in the Middle East as the start of World War Three. Will it come to pass?

Iran seizes a ship heading towards Israel, a measured response

 

After a murderous Jewish attack that killed Iranian diplomats in Syria, Iran promised retaliation. Up to now it has not been a violent attack. In fact, Iran seized a ship transport cargo for Israel.

Until now, Iranian actions have been measured, controlled, very much unlike Jewish actions that led to death of more than 36,000 men, women and children, adding to the toll the assassination of aid workers, journalists and UN personnel.

We don't what the end of the saga will be, but there are some indications that in Israel all is not well. Orthodox Jews, traditional exempt from military service, are now under pressure to get involved and thi is leading to internal conflict in Israel and beyond.

The actions of Benjamin Netanyahu and of those who support him are promoting anti-Semitism and anti-Jewish sentiments across the world. American Senador Chuck Shumer, himself of Jewish ancestry, called for the resignation of Benjamin Netanyhu whose actions are now forcing the US government to deal with disaster management. A mere issue of numbers tells us that should there be a widespread conflict in the Arab World, the survival of Israel cannot be guaranteed. This is the direct consequence of the massacres and ethnic cleaning operations carried out by the present Israel government.

World is ruled by force: Might is Right

 

From the very beginning, some people in Israel have sought inspiration on the pages of Mein Kampf - the political manifesto of Adolf Hitler.

Adolf Hitler stated very clearly in Mein Kampf that 'Might is Right' and Israel has followed this to the extreme.

If you can take it and keep it, it is yours. Looking at the map of 1948 and comparing the map of 1948 with what happened afterwards, it is plainly obvious that Israel follows the principles stated by Adolf Hitler.

Adolf Hitler stated that the winners will have nothing to prove or justify in terms of accountability as the winners will be accountable to no one and this is exactly what has been happening. Israel makes International Law as it goes along and completely ignores the International Community. Israel has maintained millions of peoples under occupation, carrying out ethnic cleansing, dispossession, and murder.

I doubt very much that this is what the forefathers of Israel actually wanted. Israel has been taken over by psychopaths and murderers whom, by their actions, are putting in danger millions of Jews across the world. They are the champions of Anti-Semitism and Anti-Jewish sentiments. They promote Anti-Semitism and Anti-Jewish sentiments. If you want to blame somebody for the rise of Anti-Semitism and Anti-Jewish sentiments across the world, blame those in authority in Israel and those outside Israel that support atrocities being committed by Israelis in the Middle East.

Eminent Jews that denounce the atrocities committed by the present Israeli government end up being attacked by psychopaths that rule Israel and their supporters.

In Memoriam: Investigation reveals that using AI Israeli forces targetted 37,000 people, knowing that most of them were innocent

 

Aid workers were not targetted by accident. It was a deliberate attack against aid workers. The Israeli government is also attacking diplomatic personnel and bombing embassies.

Integration or disintegration: Keir Starmer faces backlash for including flag on electoral campaign

It looks and sounds like a contradiction that people coming to Britain or who have been born see the national symbols as a threat. Why is this happening? The education system might have a lot to do with it. Negative attitudes towards Nation and nationalist are being promoted throughout the education system, thus turning Britons against their own country and their own national identity.

Instead of being encouraged to love the country in which they live, they are being taught to hate the country in which they live and to see the country in which they live as evil. This state of affairs has to change and the time for change is long overdue when Britain might be about to face yet another historical challenge for its survival. 

Environmental measures are a national security liability

Limiting options in terms of the energy mix makes countries weaker when it comes to defending themselves in case of war. This statement has proven to be true not once, but many times. In fact, blockades have been about reducing energy options to defeat your enemy. Energy sources are a prime target when conflict arises.

Bombing oil installations, energy plants and hydroelectric facilities is about depriving your enemy of the energy that it needs to carry on fighting. This is why Green policies are a threat to National Security. Proponents of green alternatives have in mind the idea of protecting eco systems and preserving the environment for future generations. Unfortunately, such alternatives come with a huge price tag in times of political and geopolitical uncertainty.

When Germany was deprived of oil during World War Two, the country had to reach for alternatives to produce the energy needed to keep itself going and to meet the needs of war. Airplanes, tanks, ships, trucks and everything imaginable that needs to be fuelled could not possibly be kept running without fossil fuels and therefore Germany had to create something that resembled oil.

Britain also knew the price of not having oil. The number of ships that went down trying to keep Britain provided of essentials is a reminder of the fact that the country needed reliable and sufficient amount of energy not to face defeat.

Political statements about geopolitics and environmental policies travel in opposite directions. You can try to protect the environment by weakening your country, making your country extremeluy vulnerable because of lack of reliable and sufficient energy sources. 

War Readiness: Where is the money? Where is the infra-structure?

The debate in the House of Commons about Britain's readiness to go to war with few of the theoretical 650 MPs in attendance was quite elighhtening about the real state of the British Armed Forces. Britain is spending 2.1% of its budget in Defense and given the present situation in terms of being really and trully ready for any massive conflict, the amount to be spent would be not less than 15% and this includes cutting down the budget for health, education and other areas of the British budget. To put it mildly, it would be really and truly impossible.

So all the statements made by the British Prime Minister and other Members of the Cabinet are a lot of hot air, a pretense that is not based on real possibilities.

George Galloway and the SNP told things as they are. The total number of members of the Armed Forces could be put in Wembley Stadium. Britain has no real war industries. The Armed Forces are not only facing a recruitment crisis generated in part by British foreign policy, but also by the way Britain treats those who dare to become members of the Armed Forces.

Unfortunately, such a debate did not make headlines for the BBC, Sky News or any other mass media that keep broadcasting incessantly the pretense statements made by the Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for Defense and others. Nobody is asking questions that should be asked in the country as whole. At times, it feels like very few people care about it. 

On the nature of war: if somebody risks his or her life for the country you see as your country, he or she are duly entitled to be protected by you.

In 2001, Britain went into Afghanistan and stayed there 20 years. In order to fight in Afghanistan, British forces needed the cooperation of local populations, people that put themseves in mortal danger simply because they were helping Britain to fight a war. In Britain's hour of need, they were there to support Britain and therefore Britain has the moral obligation to protect them in their hour of need.

In 2003, Britain went into Iraq and needed the cooperation of Iraqis to be there. There same applies then to Iraqis that helped Britain and it must be remembered that many of them not just risked their lives. They lost their lives.

When the point was raised that Britain should honour those who fought for Britain during World Wars, including World War Two, some Conservative MPs showed that they opposed the plan not because of what happened in World War Two and other wars of a long gone past but because of present geopolitical considerations that have nothing to do with the risks people took 70 or so years ago. If we were to think in such a way, Britain would see the French Resistance as enemies because of the fight against Napoleon.

Sajid Javid and others are right to consider honouring Muslim fighters that fought for Britain during World War Two. 

 

The perception of war is different from reality

 The Perception of War is different from Reality

Throughout history, the outcome of wars has been reported as victories and defeat, conquests, and so forth, but the reality of war has escaped proper consideration.

Even in victory there has been a price to pay to win. For those who were tragically injured or killed there is no victory. There is also no defeat. It is the end of their lives. There is no recovery. Even if they survive, life will no longer be what it was.

Warmongers will not often suffer the consequences of what they have instigated. For warmongers, the lives of those they see as enemies don't count, but the lives of those they pretend to be close to don't count either. It is just a matter of numbers. As long as they can claim victory and even if as consequence of their acts there is defeat, they will go around living their lives happily ever after while both presumed foes and presumed friends will suffer dire consequences.

When we see or hear reports about tens of thousands of people dead or injured, names don't count because it would be time consuming or even impossible to determine the identities of those who have lost their lives. The pulverised buildings of what used to be a living city cannot possibly reflect the full story of the tragedy that has occurred. 

Olaf Scholz: Hesitating man or man deeply aware of the dire consequences of knee jerk reactions

 

An article on The Guardian newspaper qualifies the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as 'hesitant', supposedly a label for somebody seen as weak or indecisive because he is not fully committing Germany to yeat another war in Europe.

As a German, Olaf Scholz is extremely aware of the consequences of war. He might not have been around during World War II, but he certanly knows about what happened in Germany all the way until 1945 and after that.

Despite all odd, Germany prospered and with a lot of hard work managed to reach an enviable position, leading those who were supposed to be the conquering nations, the winning nations, after World War II.

The recipe for German success? Ingenuity, creativity and a lot of work done from the very beginning in the worst of circumstances. Germany started the way to recovery and excellence as an occupied and devided country. It capital city was not more. Berlin was divided by the victors and for a time Bonn became the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany. Much of its territory had been lost. Much of it was taken by Poland, Prussia was chopped to bits. The DDR was born, the so called Polish corridor - German land - was given to Poland and much of the eastern side of German was also given to Poland. Eastern Prussia was taken by the Soviet Union and is now part of the Russian Federation.

The fall of the Berlin Wall was much celebrated as was celebrated the end of the DDR and the reunification of Germany, a reunification that is very much incomplete as vast expanses of German land are still in other countries.

Olaf Scholz explicitly said that despite the fact that Germany is part of NATO - in fact is still under American occupation and its contitution was not designed by Germans. It was imposed by the USA that maintains a substantial military pressence in the Federal Republic of Germany. So Germany is still an occupied country.

The German Chancellor has to move with extreme caution. He is the head of a coalition that is intrinsically weak and SPD won an election without winning a big number of votes. It was the debacle of CDU/CSU that fell so massively what made it possible for SPD to win an election with less than 30 per cent of the votes cast.

A new party now has more than 21 per cent of electoral support and, unlike SPD that is only represented in 11 of 16 Federal States, Alternative für Deutchland has captured the imagination of German voters to the point that in the last days of the then Chancellor Angela Merkel many elected representatives of CDU were working together with Alternative für Deutchland.

The present German Chancellor knows full well that if things take a turn for the worst the present coalition will not survive. He also knows that after decades of constant lecturing and self-imposed and imposed guilt, the German peoples themselves are reluctant to engage in yet another European war that would be fought not because of German interests, but of American interests that go against German interests. The German peoples are not willing to throw away decades of hard work and prosperity to please the invaders that fragmented Germany and left Germany in ruins.
