Keir Starmer could have in Greenland a major Chinese military port located a few thousand kilometres north of the Shetland Islands.
Even less for Canada. Chinese military vessels traversing the Baltic Sea. Linking the belt and road throughout Europe. Spreading Asian authoritarianism everywhere. Denmark doesn't have the capabilities to stand up to China. Maybe they could use a nuclear scorched earth strategy. Support Western freedom or Eastern authoritarianism that is the choice- it's been the same for thousands of years. We need to encourage the Eastern Marxist states to find within itself the ability to accept the existence of other cultures. Family focused Confucianism seems to be one way Posted by Canem Malum, Saturday, 10 January 2026 2:10:02 AM

Hi AC,
I'd guess that Emil was aware that the bombing of Putin's residence could be fake news. Trump thinks so and was annoyed that Putin lied to him (again). "I don't really believe Iran sent low level street thugs down here to set fire to synagogue doors" Iran is a major instigator of terrorism in the world, aside from their funding of Hamas/Hezbollah etc and war on Israel. Remember "globalise the intifada"? Remember Rushdie? It's a very toxic regime. Posted by Fester, Saturday, 10 January 2026 4:44:27 AM

Hi Fester,
I guess I kind of belong to a group of viewers who watch this content consisting of a range of different experts (mostly American) with different backgrounds and expertise, who disseminate issues of a geopolitical nature and do not automatically go along with any official narrative, but do a more thorough analysis. "I'd guess that Emil was aware that the bombing of Putin's residence could be fake news. Trump thinks so and was annoyed that Putin lied to him (again)." Emil's no expert, but he's no fool, and he does a lot of legwork looking at all issues. I don't think it's fake news but not because of Emil, numerous other sources, Russian response in relation to other attacks, it happened in between several Trump and Putin phone calls. The Russians may have given the West a fake Putin location, with Putin saying he'd wait where he was for Trump to call back, to see if Trump could be trusted. Russia Sends GPS Chip To US After Kyiv's 'Drone Strike' On Putin’s Home As CIA 'Cleanchits' Zelensky http://youtu.be/bk7Yc61AZaU 'Fake news' = 'denial' I watched a bit of your video. I'd written out this response, but my laptop has problems with the touchpad, it clicks on things by itself and can be quite frustrating, and it accidentally closed the page after I'd written it. Regards Iran. Yes things do look to be getting serious. I was thinking in terms of U.S. interests. Blocking China's BRI and Russia's North South Trade corridor. These are the games really being played out. I would not like to live in a Muslim country, but I'm not sure things will be much better under the Shah. The U.S. doesn't do regime changes to help the citizens Improve things enough to keep them complacent while they loot and pillage etc. And they seldom go well. New social programs will go hand in hand with IMF debt. Posted by Armchair Critic, Saturday, 10 January 2026 5:50:12 AM

Meanwhile, back on the ranch, the only place that Australians have a say, One Nation is blowing wind up the backside of the Coalition with 23% popularity. ON is now being touted as the only party that can beat Labor. Maybe we do have our version of Reform. Here's hoping!

"I would not like to live in a Muslim country, but I'm not sure things will be much better under the Shah."
Apparently only about 20% of Iranians are Muslim. The regime recruits Islamic militia from neighbouring countries. Yes, the Shah wasn't great, but under the theocracy "bad" has probably been redefined. "The U.S. doesn't do regime changes to help the citizens Improve things enough to keep them complacent while they loot and pillage etc." That sums up what Russia is doing in Ukraine minus any improvement, but it wasn't what happened in Germany, Italy or Japan. Not a small amount of failure with US interventions related to the cold war, with communist nations supporting armed and violent insurgents. You might also observe that Russia's failures in Ukraine is due in large part because of support of other nations. Even Russia's ability to conduct the war depends on a large amount of support from China and other nations. The US intervention in Venezuela is a big contrast to Ukraine. Time will reveal the balance of help against looting and pillaging. Posted by Fester, Saturday, 10 January 2026 6:36:09 AM

I'm sure that many in Europe and elsewhere would laugh at the US not understanding the true meaning for themselves. Europe has for some time outsourced responsibility for their defense to the US- and yet still like to see a loyal ally squirm. How low has Europe become. I don't think I'm telling any secrets here. I wonder what Kissinger would/did say about this.
If ever there was a time to bring back execution for treason, now would be the time.
