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. Now in response to this, Turkey has now moved to deploy her own ‘peacekeeping force’ to Azerbaijan and the newly acquired Azeri territories in Nagorno-Karabakh. Turkey’s government has submitted a motion […]
By Theodore Shoebat The war between Armenian and Azerbaijani has been stopped, not with peace but through a ceasefire brokered by Russia. Armenians have been being forced to leave their homes in the much fought over territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. In the 1990s, when the Azerbaijanis were defeated by the Armenians in the first conflict over […]
By Theodore Shoebat Over the years I have noticed that the subject of geopolitics has been overly complicated, so I decided to do a video on the subject:
When the word “soy” is used today, it often indicates a negative connotation. 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. Out of not reason but panic, people began stripping the shelves of the cleaning isles, and in the […]
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 […]
Like Trump, Obama is no stranger to controversy. During his famous rise to power in 2008, he was arguably the first President who made mass use of social media to propel his campaign. Now twelve years later, VOX reports that Obama has now changed his position, noting from the that the Internet has created 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. However, as the saying goes, “it […]
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. He understands conflict, the nature of countries, and while no man is absolutely perfect, is a respected voice that […]
By Theodore Shoebat “Men seek stranger sins or more startling obscenities as stimulants to their jaded sense.” — GK Chesterton There is indeed a horrid confusion in society about who to follow. Shall we follow the Left or the Right? Because of the destructive nature of the Left, many turn to the Right. But even […]
I have reported for a while now on the sayings of Niklas Frank, son of the former Nazi governor of Poland Hans Frank, that if Germany was to have a serious economic recession, the democracy, ‘tolerance’, and stability that the world associates with Germany would quickly turn into despotism and the nation would return to […]
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. In recent years, Syria has seen a US military presence owing to the wars in Iraq and Syria. However, as Al-Masdar news reports, an interesting change may be […]
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. At this rate and given these trends, one can only ask, when will AI […]
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 […]
