Reviews of the politicians kissing babies and running governments around the world; applaud and criticize the decisions they make and their implications.

Stop This! NOW!
How many more? How much longer? How many times? When will it stop? The vicious thirst for blood and the hunger for flesh must end. Why is our Congress silent? Why is this magnanimous misogynist being allowed to wage war against a nation we had no issues with? Why are we doing Israel’s dirty work?

Why Donald Trump Could Never Drop an Atomic Bomb on Iran
The idea that a U.S. president—such as Donald Trump—could simply decide to drop an atomic bomb on Iran may seem straightforward, but in reality, it is far more complex. Legal, political, military, and ethical constraints make such an action extremely unlikely and nearly impossible in practice.

The Risks of Skipping Diplomacy
The Risks of Skipping Diplomacy: How the Lack of Talks Could Fuel a Third World War In an increasingly interconnected and volatile world, diplomacy remains one of the most powerful tools to prevent conflict and maintain global stability.

The absence of meaningful talks between rival states does not simply freeze tensions—it often intensifies them. In the worst-case scenario, this breakdown in communication can push the world closer to a catastrophic global conflict.

The United States Wants Control Over the Strait of Hormuz
The United States Wants Control Over the Strait of Hormuz The Strait of Hormuz has become the center of one of the most dangerous geopolitical confrontations in recent history. As tensions between the United States and Iran escalate, Washington’s desire to ensure control—or at least secure access—to this narrow waterway reflects far more than a regional dispute. It is about global energy security, military strategy, and economic stability.

Is Britain Prepared for Conflict?
Many worry as the storm clouds of war in places like Ukraine, fighting Russia, rumble on, the UK is underprepared for war should it come. Our military has suffered cuts over the years at the hands of governments of all hues. Cuts to our RAF, British Army, and Royal Navy. In fact, one wonders if something like the Falklands happened today, could we send a task force as we did back in 1982? Some say we would be lucky to send a rowing boat out with a cannon these days. We sent the HMS Dragon to respond to a Hezbollah or Iranian attack on a British base in Cyprus. Has it made it there yet? Secondhand information says it had to pull in somewhere to be repaired. If I am mistaken, please correct me. If this information is true, it shows the dire state our Navy is in as one example of our armed forces.

Why Didn’t Donald Trump Travel to Pakistan for Talks?
As high-level negotiations between the United States and Iran unfolded in Islamabad, one question captured global attention: why didn’t Donald Trump personally travel to Pakistan to lead the talks? Given the importance of the moment, many expected the U.S. President to be physically present. However, his absence reflects a mix of strategic, political, and security considerations rather than a lack of interest.
