Advice To The Allies of The USA


 

When planning a military operation, do not under any circumstances share your plans before the operation with the USA. Only brief the USA afterwards.

That way you can be assured that the plans won't be leaked to the media or your enemy!

The "Special" Relationship Debunked

 


Every time there is a change of President in the USA, the media and certain politicians/political commentators wax lyrical about the so called "special" relationship and fret whether it will continue under whoever is the new President.

Whilst personal chemistry (or lack of it) between the President and the Prime Minister can be a help or hindrance to the optics of the interactions between the USA and UK, there has never been a "special" relationship in the sense that the media and politicians would like to have us believe.

The USA and UK, because of their shared heritage, history and economic/security ties will continue to work together no matter who is President or Prime Minister. However, never be under any illusion that the UK will be treated "specially", the USA always acts in what it perceives to be its own best interests!

A Very Dangerous Administration

It beggars belief that an American president tweets that non white American born citizens (ie Americans) should go back to their own countries.

They are already in their own country!

It beggars further belief that this Administration is enabled by so called "Christians"!

Advice To The United States

You can be at peace with a country that has nuclear weapons, but if you choose to be at war with that country the chances are you will both end up having to use your nukes!

Use the peace to negotiate nuclear and conventional arms reductions.

Two Questions For America



You do know that now you have reneged on the JCPOA, you can't tell the Iranians to continue to accept nuclear inspections don't you?

If you didn't know that, then did you really understand what you were doing when you reneged on it?

Questions For The President of the United States


When you slagged off Qatar yesterday, did you forget that it hosts the largest American military base in the Middle East?

If not, does that mean you will be shutting the base down or be using it to force regime change in Qatar?

Happy Inauguration Day - Trump In Perspective





Today Donald Trump takes the oath of office, to become the 45th President of the United States of America.

Ignoring the hyperbole of his supporters and detractors, here is a simple primer for those who want to grasp what may or may not happen during his term of office.

1 Trump should be taken seriously, but not literally.

2 He has learned from numerous series of the Apprentice to use conflict as a means of determining who are the most powerful/strong people in a room. You may expect him to apply the same techniques when in office.

3 He, and his team, are deal makers. All agreements both internal and international are now up for renegotiation. View him through the prism of business and deal making, not politics.

4 For those of you who are not citizens of the USA, he is not your president. Those of you who are citizens of the USA, whether you voted for him or not, like it or not he is your President.

5 As you wait for the inauguration at midday EST (17:00 GMT) take time out to watch the most excellent film "Seven Days In May". It's plot centres around a military-political cabal's planned take-over of the United States government in reaction to the president's negotiation of a disarmament treaty with the Soviet Union.

Gun Control

It is claimed by some in the USA that people should have the right to bear arms for their own protection.

That being the case, why is it that so many innocent people are killed in the USA on a daily basis by guns?
