WEAKNESS

 As a citizen of the United States, it is not with joy that I write this post. However, honesty is the standard on this blog (with no politics). With that in mind I have to say that in my opinion everything currently going on in the world makes the U.S. look very weak. 


Whether we are talking about the current situation in Venezuela, relations with Syria, Ukraine, or the war in the Middle East among other examples, the way each is being handled makes the United States look weak. As I have discussed in previous posts, the U.S "should" be over everything that takes place in the world. When I say, "over everything" I do not mean directly involved, what I mean is as the most powerful country on earth, we should have significant sway over all global affairs.


With the prior paragraph in mind, let me say what the reason for this post is. The War in the Middle East started on the last day of February. Iran is in every way inferior to the United States. Why on the first day of June am I writing this post? because Israel said they were going to strike Beirut today, but allegedly the President of the United States called Israel and told them not to do it. Like I always say nothing on this blog will ever be political. The only reason that I bring up the President is it is important for the clarity of the post.


In conclusion, I hope the "calling off the strikes" is some sort of a ruse and the strikes still happen soon. Since it is in the Middle East the topic of this post might seem inconsequential, and just seeing things a different way, it is not. The enemies of the free world are on the prowl, and they sense weakness and feel like they have an advantage. If the free world (particularly the United States) does show its might during this period of time, and properly use its sway over the world, the world will look very different in the not-too-distant future.


This is not fearmongering, the threats in the world are very big, and extremely dangerous (especially if they are not handled the right way).

TWO HITLERS, WW3 UNDERWAY

 This post is going to be about an opinion of mine. As with each post that lays out my opinion on a matter it is based soley on history. The reason for this post is what took place in China over the weekend, and why I think it should be a warning sign to the world. Before I even get to what happened in China, and why I think it matters, most people are familiar with who Hitler is and the evil acts/decisions he is guilty of. I will mention second but first, you might read the title of this post and wonder who the second Hitler is I am referring to...Putin. The reason that I think Putin is a Hitler is not only because he is a dictator. Among many reasons that I think he is a Hitler is for the topic of this post, his ambitions in Ukraine and to a degree his actions exactly mirror the stated reasons for the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. This will be important to remember when I state my opinion. Since I assume most people know about the evils of Hitler, let me state who I think th...

REASON FOR THIS BLOG

When I was a kid knowledge of two events shaped my interest in global events. The first event that I learned about was 9/11 and I first heard about it in 2009, The second event that shaped my interest and the first thing I tracked as it was happening was the Arab spring in 2011. Ever since I learned about 9/11, I have always paid increasing attention to big stories around the world and at home but have always been annoyed with media outlets selecting which stories to cover instead on simply covering events as they happen. I am starting this blog to cover events in a straightforward way as they occur and to give my insight to those events. When necessary, I will add historical examples that help form my opinion. In a world that seems to be on fire people need reporting and insight without an agenda.

WHO WAS RIGHT? DANGEROUS SITUATION

 I closed the last post by asking what if anything people thought would happen between the United States and Iran by time I write this post. I also asked if something did happen, which side would be responsible for it?. If you said that something would happen, and it would be the United States (I am not saying the U.S was wrong to do it) you you are right. Yesterday an Iranian cargo ship broke through the U.S. blockade and after ignoring orders to stop, had its engine room hit by rounds fired by the USS Spruance. The other development I wanted to address is, today the U.S. Embassy in Iraq warned U.S. citizens already in the country to leave immediately. It also urged U.S. citizens not to travel to Iraq. The reason for the  concern is terrorist groups in the country are said to be aiming to assault Americans. The situation is so unstable the Embassy has cautioned U.S. citizens that want to leave Iraq not to go to the Embassy in Baghdad, or the Consulate in Erbil.
