If you want to see how the military is building in the Middle East, and to what purpose, then this (nicely dubbed) video is for you.

And helpfully mapped.

"The US and UK are already acting together"

"Where does France stand in all of this?"

"We will redesign the Middle East"

"Nothing is coincidental"

"At present, 66 strike warships, three aircraft carrier strike groups, and hundreds of long-range missiles are on standby in the area"

The analysis of the post conflict situation re Israel-US-Iran.

An independent Iran still exists, therefore the war will continue.

And it's not just Iran, it's also Russia and China...

The "real" explanation of what "Europe" (as in France UK and Germany) are really up to in the Ukraine.

Is it remotely ethical?

Will it even work?

This goes back a long way, all the way to the infamous UK- Chinese Opium Wars.

Do the echos from that time still inform geopolitical matters today?

And are those who don't know their history doomed to repeat it?

"To truly understand Xi's actions, you have to understand his personality... "

"Under communism, the more normal or decent someone is, the quicker they are pushed out"

Communist China is ruled by an "elite bloodline" of "princelings"?!

The ideal subordinate: "completely incompetent but genuinely devoted".

Anyone might be forgiven for thinking that we have lost the plot on what is going on in Ukraine and Israel - but maybe it isn't us that lost the plot...

Professor Mearsheimer reviews Israel-Iran and Russia-Ukraine vis à vis US policy, with Judge Napolitano, and they too are having trouble deciphering all the mixed messaging.

Yes, it's yet another geopolitical discussion, yet it lands pretty close to home for a British audience.

How to make sense of a world in which nothing is as it seems and unexpected twists continue unabated?

Yes, I'm impressed by Alex Krainer's understanding and analysis. But is he right? Or even rightish?

Apparently the world is becoming less susceptible to the narratives of fear that once kept us all docile and obedient. So we need an Event X mega-event that will send us all scuttling back into our box.

Personally I was looking forward to the "fake alien invasion" that we were promised, but it seems that other plans may be afoot - we will just have to wait and see (although the flooding in Texas that cost so many lives in recent days may have set the tone).

Keep calm and carry on. (Modest subscription required for full access)

It seems that the West's struggle to outmanoeuvre the Russians over the Ukraine has come to some sort of a head over Odessa.

Two videos hint at some of this, including concrete developments that don't seem to have made UK media.

"... very recently they announced a military cooperation agreement between Great Britain and Kazakhstan... then in February they announced a military cooperation agreement between Great Britain and... Bosnia Herzegovina... the next front between Russia and the West is going to be in the Balkans, inevitably... "

What has the Trump London deal with China determined?

Well, apparently it's nothing to do with Xi.

And China finds the deal too sensitive to release just yet.

So what is so sensitive...?

Well, that's more or less it.

The good old US of A has too many theatres of military operation to support, given the global geopolitical situation. It can't build and supply the necessary military ordnance for its military to prevail beyond a very short period, given that it has too many proxies to support and a Chinese situation looming over Taiwan.

Russia on the other hand has not neglected its supply chains, and China likely isn't over-extended, given that it doesn't have any conflicts in progress. 

"The Russians have rethought the whole approach..."

Likewise Iran seems over many years to have amassed sufficient supplies of technologically superior weapons ready for a long war with Israel, should that be required.

So is the USA drawing in its horns of sheer necessity? And if so, how does that affect the prospects for global peace?

This one is to test your perceptions...

"We can see that there is something going on here that is way beyond the usual about how Americans feel about foreign dictators"

"Ambassador Brink has been and will be one of the most important voices, first as a successful and effective ambassador, then as a powerful critic of the administration she served, and now as a candidate for Congress"

What's really going on beneath the surface of the swirling chaos of formal and alternative news sources and purveyors of propaganda?

Well, your guess is as good as mine, but this is one view which may shift our attention-point, enabling us to view matters unfolding from a slightly different perspective.

Time will tell...

... and it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!
