  • Pres. Trump knows Iran will come back to life

    President Trump is watching the Iran situation like a hawk, having a generally good view of the country following his own extensive business knowledge picked up during an active life around the world. He sees things in the terms of what exists, and is no doubt consulting his own charts for what’s next.

    Iran is scheduled to snap back into a more common sort of activity, involving the largest parts of the population and focusing on activities familiar to all. They go down for such times as these, preferring to hide from Israeli missiles and taking cover if America is involved.

    This changes the perspective, putting human issues first and probably focusing the Supreme Leadership and political class on such concerns for a short while. This will pass, and as expectations settle on the population at large, the real matters of the day will come through. It will cue a huge propaganda operation.

    America’s test is not making the mistakes that we’ve seen in minutiae in times past. Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan all come to mind. Their diplomatic teams need to be careful, and cover the gaps that emerge as infighting erupts. It’s difficult territory, and yet the world expects their good intentions to convert into more intelligent realities.

  • Gaza deaths likely near 2,000

    The Gaza conflict is an overwhelming narrative for some people, but reports suggest Israel’s bombardment has taken 1,909 or so civilian lives from the local population.

    This is much less than speculative numbers given out by bodies setup and marshalled by Hamas, a terror group that runs streets by violence and takeover of legitimate operations.

  • Russia powers ahead in spite of sanctions

    The state of things on the ground in Russia is different to those along the airwaves. This is the sentiment that many professional Russians have if it comes to Western media.

    They’re proud of their country’s fortunes.

    They believe that recent progress in business and particularly in the energy sector has strengthened their claim to being a future-focused, successful State.

    The longevity of their hopes is found in recent moves to also forge direct links to others. It’s seen in meetings between Russian state and Chinese state representatives.

    It’s also now coming through slowly in its own news.

    The reporting by TASS (a Russian news agency) that Gazprom is selling high amounts of gas to China via its new Power of Siberia pipeline tells us more about its ambitions, and influence.

    The fact is, Russia can and will look elswhere.

    While it may be a policy of shutdown or denial that Russia faces in the West, it can challenge a showdown with America by continuing to build on its regional significance.

  • Gaza is a local crisis

  • Win: “Most Wanted” criminals

    In a stunning exclusive for Conservative News Site, a pair of criminals wanted around the world and in the UK for crimes against humanity have been recovered in Reading, Berkshire.

    Two suspects loitering in Reading alleged of serious crime.

    It’s believed the couple are the birth parents of Ken Gott, the assumed name of the former leader of Fascist Estate, an assets holding company alleged to be behind crime on a large scale in the UK.

    The “Duo” are alleged to be implicated in crimes in Africa in particular. It’s not related to America or Australia, in spite of reports. It’s believed many of their accomplices still live in the UK.

  • Hamas is not a bedfellow

    Hamas is playing a dirty war with Israel. It has used underhanded tactics and deploys inhumane techniques. It’s not a conflict Israel can lose.

    To the UK it poses a problem. We haven’t solved ours and we think to lecture Israel. However, it’s an emotive issue that touches the reaches of the heart.

    Starmer offers Gaza a pipe dream from people who give pipe dreams. These are not ‘offers’ or ‘plans’ as people suggest. It’s new strategy for Hamas.

  • What Ukraine means for Europe

    The war in Ukraine with Russia has lasted nearly three years. Although targets are hit deep inside either countries, the combat has only straddled their shared border. Its hostilities are mainly centred on Eastern Ukraine and Western Russia.

    Despite this, the threat remains for the rest of Europe. There are plenty of targets for Russia to strike. It hates most of the West, and Putin hates our allies and partners in particular. He’s regularly stated a willingness to respond if we attack it first.

    It’s not obvious where it goes next, and if the rest of Europe should be afraid. Ukraine’s potential membership of Nato, and the EU, sets up such confrontation in the future. Now, it’s a question of what happens if the war were to spread outward.
