Economic Refugees vs War Refugees - the Russian Factor
Economic Refugees vs War Refugees. A million refugees, virtually all of them Muslim refugees, will have entered Europe during calendar year 2015 by the time the year is over. Europe's only "legal defense" ( according to UN humans rights rules and the European Unions own laws ) against accepting them...

Putin Goals
I've written several times that Putin's actions in Syria are insane because they're going to trigger a war. According to Kasparov, Putin actually wants to trigger "some sort of major war in the Mideast," in order to cause oil prices to rise, saving Russia's economy. To summarize, Putin's actions in...

Myth - Russia ( and Iran ) Doomed to Fail in Middle East
The Obama administration - and many talking heads in the United States - are spreading the view that Russia ( and Iran ) are doomed to fail in Syria in the same way that the U.S. Failed in Vietnam and Russia Failed in Afghanistan. The main talking points to this are: 1. Russia is a Christian invader...

Russia - and Iran - in the Middle East and Eastern Europe
Russia and Iran are using Syria as a test case to see what they can get away with in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Russia is also using Syria as part of it's most recent attempt to divide the United States from Eastern Europe in NATO, Western Europe from Eastern Europe in NATO, and Turkey from...

UN says 3 Million Refugees a year entering Europe
The United Nations says that currently 8,000 immigrants ( refugees, economic immigrants, others ) without visas are just showing up in Europe.

Russia - Implements a Brilliant Strategy in Syria
Why is Russia spreading it's limited forces thin by moving into Syria - an area that is difficult for Russian to re-supply, except by an air bridge through Iran and Iraq ? The answer is simple, the risk is small for at least the next year plus, and the gains for Russia in Eastern Europe are potentia...

Re: A brave new world - where the U.S. is blind and deaf
I don't like to screw around with Firefox too much, since I have a lot of saved tabs and don't want to lose them. However, I opened Chrome, and then opened an "incognito window." I copied the above link into the chrome incognito window, and the entire article was displayed. What I was attempting to...

Re: A brave new world - where the U.S. is blind and deaf
I agree, you do not understand how the WSJ website works. I have never had a subscription to the WSJ website, and I read that article without getting a message saying I need to buy a subscription, and I am not doing anything the most casual user does not do. The Wall Street Journal does sell subscri...

Re: A brave new world - where the U.S. is blind and deaf
If this is directed at me, I can't read the article because I don't have a wsj subscription.
