No one can question the bravery, tenacity, and heroism of the men who disembarked from those boats, jumped into […]

We start with Pi Day, then the Ides of March – aka “Caesar Stabbification Day” – and then St. Patrick’s […]

Or at least, it seemed like a peaceful world, at the time, when I were a wee lad in Asia. It was a world of plenty, opportunity, optimism, and hope. That world died 24 years ago. I have said for quite a while […]

Namely, there was once a prophet named “Muhammad”, who was born in Mecca in 570 AD, and who started receiving divine revelation directly from an angel of a god […]

Think 1937 (now) versus 1942 (2027). Like the […]

It explains the origins of Ukrainian nationalism – from, obviously, a staunchly pro-Russian point of view, but I consider it to be fairly accurate, in spite of […]

Once again, we are answering a question from LRFotS Randale6, who draws an intriguing parallel between the current, parlous, state of the FUSA, and the old Byzantine Empire. Our friend argues that, like the Byzantines, the descendants of the […]

This is not quite what he actually said, which went something like, “Meeting jaw-to-jaw is better than war”.
