The UK police have turned from their traditional role(s) to becoming a kind of “poundshop Stasi“, the role of which is to enforce socio-ideological conformity among the masses of the UK population, and to repress manifestations of ethno-national dissidence.
The Saudis and other Gulf Arabs have nothing— no reality as “states” or peoples, no integrity, not even their traditional religion. Living on borrowed time.
As it now is, the EU is anti-European. also, A kind of NWO/ZOG dictatorship, in effect. The European states should leave both the EU and NATO.
Is that not some kind of Masonic distress signal?
In fact, 107 years ago, not 103, as of today.

As I blogged long ago, at least 2 years ago, the strategic balance was always in Russia’s favour, and Russia could not and would not lose this war. Now, events on the macro scale have ensured that that will be the case.
[“Parents were told – by people they thought were experts – that dire consequences would ensue if their children were not given access to puberty blockers. Stonewall told managers and employees that “transwomen” were entitled to enter women’s single-sex spaces and sports. It encouraged public and private sector organizations to “go beyond the law” in the hope that this would make gender self-ID the de facto – and eventually de jure – reality. Civil servants and officials around the country have promoted the message that trans-identifying people should be treated in accordance with their “gender identity”. Worst of all, children have been encouraged to believe it’s possible to change sex, and that they will be accepted for all purposes as the opposite sex. All these lies and misrepresentations have caused immense damage. Some of the protests have been repulsive and inexcusable. But the angry, distraught trans-identifying people we are hearing from were lied to by thousands of people who should have known better. When you’ve been living a lie, the truth is very painful. The civil unrest – and political troublemaking – we’ve seen is dangerous. @Keir_Starmer must make a statement welcoming the Supreme Court ruling and strongly affirming his party’s commitment to the rule of law.“]

Others also foretold that, including me on this blog.
Very true.
Goodwin should identify (((which))) group in the population is mostly abusing the law, the police, the CPS, and the “justice” system…
It is more important to win hearts and minds than to “win” a nuclear arms race. Or any arms race.
[“Almost all drones in the US are made in China China controls 90 percent of all the world’s drone parts, leaving American manufacturers reliant solely on Chinese supply chains, Forbes writes. Washington cannot afford to cut Beijing off from that supply chain, because it will simply “collapse its own drone industry,” the American newspaper adds.”]
[“In Odessa, almost all of the approximately three dozen kamikaze drones reached their targets On social networks, Odessans note that the sound of the drones was different from the standard sound accompanying the flight of the Geranium-2 UAV. A significant portion of the strikes hit the Storm Research Institute, an enterprise actively involved in the supply chain to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.“]

Natasha Syms called Manfred von Richthofen “a psychopath”. As unbelievable as it may seem, the anti-German hatred created by the British & French media is still alive and well. By the way, the funeral given to the Red Baron by the British was an admirable display of chivalry.
Apparently, von Richthofen was killed by machine-gun fire from Australian troops in that area. Capt. Roy Brown did not claim to have shot him down but was credited with doing so.

“In war, truth is the first casualty”, of course…
As you know, many of the WW1 “black propaganda” inventions were recycled for use in WW2, and were employed particularly in the creation of the “holocaust” mythus.

I could not agree more with you regarding the ruling class of the Arab Emirates. A bunch of ignorant, hedonistic brutes who are swimming in oil and money. Oil that they did not discover and even less extract. Their “states” are just playgrounds for the international “jet-set”, while the people who keep things running are mostly foreigners who are treated appallingly. I would not set foot in those places even if you pay me.

My own experiences there, and/or with people from there (Qatar and Qataris particularly, also Kuwaitis) were not very pleasant or useful. Of course, some of those “states”, maybe all, have populations which are as much as 95% foreign. The Americans and Brits and a few others are paid better and are treated somewhat better than the Indians, Pakistanis and Filipinos who do the less-remunerated work, but none have any security. The laws are biased toward the locals, and the criminal laws are both harsh and backward. Also, even in Dubai, where foreigners can buy property, once a foreigner is retired or otherwise not required, it’s “on your way, Jose!“.

A few months before the start of the 2022 World Football Cup in Qatar, I read some articles about the buildings that were being erected for the World Cup. In them, the journalists accused the government of exploiting the construction workers, mostly Indian, in the most brutal fashion. I have to say that I believed them. Not only were these people paid pennies for their work, but they were confined to some shabby barracks. OK, perhaps they were better than the filthy places where they live back home, but they still looked pretty bad. I wonder if the Arabs do not want to work, or their leaders decided it is better to import riff-raff and pay them pennies than bother to train their own people and pay them decent wages.

There are very few actual Qataris:

and those that do exist are mostly useless. 8 years ago, only 12% of the population was Qatari; now, maybe 10%, maybe even 5%.
Look at the skyline of Doha
Almost all of that did not exist on my first visit in 2001. I think only that ziggurat-shaped building at near-far-right; an expensive hotel (maybe a Sheraton). By my second visit, in 2008, much had been built, but still most of what is in that photo had not been.
Impressive, in a way, but built, in more ways than one, on sand.

I have serious doubts about that tweet that claims the US depends on China to be supplied with drones. Drones are not sophisticated gadgets, and I am sure the Americans can build their own.
