“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

A weak mean has brought extremely hard times

We all know that old saying about what I will call – for lack of a better term – “the cycle of times”. It is a simple and effective encapsulation of well-received and time-tested wisdom: Looking at how Ornj Boi has gone about things in his second term, I am forced to...
When MBAs play soldier

When MBAs play soldier

Alexus Grynkewich is not exactly a household name for most people. Nor should he be. He is the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, effectively the second highest-ranking military officer in the entire NATO structure. That is a post once held by no less a person than...
Never go full Tory

Never go full Tory

It would appear that Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg realised he touched a bit of a nerve the other day, when he issued a call for Britain to prepare for WAAGH!! with the Russian Orcs of Mordor. As I noted at the time, that went down with most of Mr. Rees-Mogg’s viewers –...

Some years back, when I thought that Bozo BoJo was actually going to do some good as Prime Monster of PommieBastardLande, I wrote quite favourably about one Jacob Rees-Mogg, an MP for North East Somerset, who eventually became quite a high-ranking member of the...
The agony of deceit

The agony of deceit

Over the past week, we have seen a whole lot of noise about the supposed “peace deal” between the Epstein Coalition and Iran. The terms of that “pissdill”, to use a Russianism, are nothing short of devastating for the US-Izzraeli side that initiated a blatant act of...
Rumours of Russia’s death are greatly exaggerated

Rumours of Russia’s death are greatly exaggerated

The St. Petersburg Economic Forum, or SPIEF, as it is known in the West, closed out a couple of days ago, and it proved yet again to be a very interesting insight into modern Russia. As always, President Putin got up on-stage at the closing Q&A session and...

The Scouring of the Shire

That picture you see up top is the outcome of a countrywide series of local or council elections across a dark, dank, rainy, soggy, moss-covered, foggy, depressing, mildewed, bankrupt rock in the North Atlantic, called PommieBastardLande – also known as the United...
Operation: EAGLE CLAW II

Operation: EAGLE CLAW II

That picture you see above is from a landing strip not far from Isfahan, in west-central Iran. Supposedly, that is the result of an all-out attempt to rescue the Weapons Systems Officer of an F-15E Strike Eagle that the Iranians shot down over their airspace during...
Hungary has fallen

Hungary has fallen

Last Sunday, Hungarians went to the polls in record numbers, and delivered a crushing victory for the leader of the new opposition party, Tisza, led by Peter Magyar. And it IS a blowout – Magyar has a supermajority in the Hungarian parliament now. Now, normally,...
Happy TACO Tuesday, everyone!

Happy TACO Tuesday, everyone!

The news broke very late last night (my time, and Iranian time, though it was probably at around 7pm EST) that Angry Short Fat Trump had, at almost the very last minute, called off the so-called “civilisation-ending” strikes against Iran’s infrastructure, power...
