​OK, the first hundred days are over, Mr. Obama is not a president anymore, and I am on my own.  Or rather, there are many readers here on Rubicon, that still follow my lead, and there are many projects that still needs deliverance.  The peace project in the Middle East, the protection of Christians and […]

​In Europe, many people are disheartened by the development of the states and the societies in general. It is all going the wrong way.  So what do we do? Let me give you an example of my own life. I have just had a little daughter, the second in fact. Rakel and Esther, two Jewish […]

The Middle East peace process still needs the footprint of Mr. Kushner. Let me be absolutely honest about the prospects of a role to bee played by Mr. Kushner in the Middle East now.  Either you move with me, or you will be eaten by all the sharks that are in the waters. Not having […]

​OK, the first hundred days of Mr. Trumps president ship is nearing its conclusion.  I think we can handily conclude, that we, the Democrats are basically still very much in the game.  The things we do not agree with, are not going through congress, but at the points we do agree, things are going forward.  […]

​Well, after some kind of guard change, we have come to this. Some of the policies that Barack and I have implemented, most notably the attempt to finish the cold war, has remained in the new administrations view.  The fight against ISIS is also still on, and the fight against China has taken a strange […]

​I am reading an interesting philosophical treaties by Plato. You know the Athenian who roamed the world 2500 years ago.  In this specific treaties, he discusses the development of a nation or a polis. The sophist of his discourse claims, that it is possible to teach virtue, and by doing that, create the basis of […]

Congratulations Mr. Macron and Ms. Le Pen. Both did a good job of getting to the second round of the French election. First of all, as I founded the movement that Ms. Le Pen is a part of, I am off cause proud of you Marine. Well done. Secondly, what I think France needs is […]

​OK Mr. Kushner, I have tried to relay you some of the things you need to think about, if you want to work in the Middle East with peace. Again.  1. Think out of the box, to continue the endless Palestinian talks is a waste of time. 2. Understand the peoples of the Middle East. […]

To understand how you become a true leader of Israel and thereby have a chance to further the goals and the wellbeing of jews, we need to look at the stars of Israel. First of all of cause Shimon Peres, the greatest star of Israel and one of the founding fathers. There were others in […]

​The Middle East is not an easy place to do politics, especially not if you are from the West. Let us face it. When the Babylonians invented the wheel and writing, we were still living in long houses fighting all the time.  We smashed the beautiful Middle eastern cultures as the Hittite and the Homeric.  […]

​These beginnings of presidentships are really difficult, so much to convey and so much at stake. I do not prescribe anything, but I do try to make the shift from one presidentship as smooth as possible.  Now, there are basically two guys that are interested in the international politics in the Trump administration, as far […]

​Listen, I have given the whole international strategy quite some thought. The funny thing is Donald, when you started out, you had all the right priorities. You pushed NATO, you wanted to be friends with Mr. Putin, you wanted to fight China and ISIS.  These were also my priorities. Why, because it is pretty obvious […]

​Well now it has been a few months of Mr. Trumps presidentship. I realise, that I have been quite demanding, and I am sorry, but there is so much at stake, and so little room for error.  I am not a president, I am not a leader of a country. I am an intellectual, and […]

Ok Donald, now your first strike of foreign policy choices have been made.  To be honest, I am not that impressed with the strategic choices, but I do like the tempo.  First of all, strategy in business and in warfare hold some of the same components. You worry about your resources, you make a plan […]

Looking at the Middle East now after mr. Barack Obama and I have left it, it might seem a little bewildering what we were up to.  I mean, we tried to make peace with Iran, we supported the Arab states at the same time, and tried to find peace with mr. Putin as well.  Most […]

Well, I know that mr. Trump sees the Middle East as a mess. Well, it has been a mess for the last 5000 years, ever since the first city of Eridu (Eden) was founded, then over all the fightings between the Assyrians and the Egyptians, the Hittitie (Iranians) the Babylonian (Iraqi), Jews, Christian, sea peoples, […]

I have reflected a little on all the work mr. Obama and I have done in the international theatre of war, and where that leads to you mr. Trump. First of all, international politics is very difficult, especially in a world where we are not progressing, but trying to stop the downfall.  It requires a […]

To understand what is really happening in the West, please let me take you back to a time when things actually did work.  A time that is almost forgotten today, but it actually made a lot of the present day administration.  The time was at the time of the sun king Louis XVI. He inherited […]

Here after Brexit, the hangover, intellectually, have, more or less, gone, and it is time for a new discussion on what comes next.  First of all, the networks of business that the UK has access to are huge, so what is really the problem. The Anglosphere is huge, and plenty of people to do business […]

Well, now we have a difficult situation.  First of all, looking at the long term strategic aims, that is first ISIS then China, not being friends with Putin is a bit of a problem.  We got beaten by you mr. Trump, and though mr. Putin did help you, maybe, the amount of cheating to get […]

Ok Donald, I am sorry, I should have been more focused on international politics. I have focused too much on national politics, but I thought that was important too.  What would I advice in this situation? First of all, you had, contrary to everybody in the defense community in the US, actually a good rapport […]

The war efforts of the US is not going that well. I think that the US should decide who we are warring.  Is it China or is it Russia. We cannot fight both enemies. We can try, but we do not have the resources to do it.  I understand that mr. Trump needs a positive […]

There are a lot of talk about gender these days. Mr. Pence, vice president of the US has been hauled into a bit of a mess, discussion on his wife, and their relationship. Let us see if we can disentangle ourselves from this mess that moderne gender roles have become. On one side, there is […]

I am totally shocked to hear about the terror attack in st. Petersburg. It is, without doubt, a terrible occurrence, and it is with the utmost humility and support from the Danish people, that I do hold the terrorist responsible for a vile attack on the Russian motherland. This is wrong, and I do hope […]

It seems to me, that we have come far in relation to mr. Trump. He is listening, if we let him. One point I really do think we have to work together with him is economics. He has taken my ideas on production support and put it to good use. If he does that, then […]

When I initiated my attempt to strengthen European culture, including the US and Russia, it was in a clear understanding that the EU was in decline.  Now ten years after this analysis has been proved right. The EU has lost all credibility and is now not a positive force in the international development. Rather, all […]
