Most do not think of the largely rocky and deserted lands of the Sudan as being a place for a naval base. However, a small strip of that nation borders with the Red Sea, across from which is the nation of Saudi Arabia. It is in the port city of Port Sudan that the Russians, […]
Russia recently took the bold step of sending in her own ‘peacekeepers’ to both Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, in what is overall two major moves.

For example, “soy boy” means a weak or effeminate male. “Soy face” describes a man who makes facial expressions of an effeminate nature. “Drinking soy” can mean a modern variation of “drinking the Kool-Aid”. However, there is a certain “power” that soy […]
When the COVID crisis began in early 2020, people immediately created, fueled by a ‘rush’ from the media and general frenzy induced by the ever so well-known ‘madness of crowds’, a rush for toilet paper and bleach.

Saudi Arabia and Iran have been rivals going back to the days before Islam, so their mutual dislike of each other is not something new. What has changed are the weapons available to inflict more damage to a fuller capacity. With the advent of the nuclear age after World War II, there has been a […]

So far, things are not looking good for President Trump. He has not conceded the election (and it is likely he never will), but according to Trump’s tweets, the attitudes of fellow Republicans, and the words of many world leaders, it looks like Biden is going to be President.

The famed US diplomat and geopolitical strategist Henry Kissinger, love him or hate him, is a man who throughout his career has had a very good ‘feel’ for American politics and the state of global affairs.

One of the trends that I have noted is that for the time, major urban areas are seeing a sort of exodus. This does not mean they are disappearing, for long-term trends suggest that the opposite is taking place. Rather, what is forming are “megaregions” in the sense of mega urban centers with sprawl going […]
Historically speaking, Syria has been dominated by many powers, and for about five centuries was under the control of her norther neighbor of Turkey under the Ottomans.

What is Artificial Intelligence? How does it work? Scientists cannot even understand how the process works, yet so much has been entrusted to it, from the completion of common tasks to the creation of computer scripts and major defense system maintenance.

As Biden now moves to take power over the country, questions remain about what he will do regarding the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The question is, as the AP asks, will Biden restore nationwide COVID lockdowns such as existed earlier in 2020? or now, it’s a question the president-elect would prefer to avoid. In the week […]
Trump’s tax returns revealed a lot about him. The same can also be said about Joe Biden, for according to a story from the New York Post, Biden created a cancer research “charity” and then proceeded to spend millions of dollars on salaries after collecting donations but NOTHING on research. A cancer charity started by […]
After much tweeting, silence, and more tweeting, it appears that Trump has gone a further step by saying, as is reported by Business Insider, that “[Biden] won because the election was rigged”.
