The world is torn apart by war and strife. In the Middle East, in the Eastern European countries, within our different creeds, philosophies and families. In the ancient times, in the Pelleponesian war, it was a time like this. Neighbor hated neighbor, families were divided over strife. What do we do in such a situation? […]

Well, there seems to be an appetite for dialogue across the European Union. The peoples of the European Union wants to be heard. So, at least to the aim of revitalizing the EU as a political project that is a good thing, we need to do some dialogue. We have to be a little careful […]

So now it is new year, and Christmas is over. A time of reflection on “what is next”. For me, I just wanted to give my sincere appreciation to all of those, who have helped me over the year. For me, it has been a horrible year, but when you are in trouble, you get […]

When we talk about the direction of the European Union, we need to, I think, to understand what it is. The federal level is, at its best a republic. That republic reflects its citizens. BUT, and this is really the crux of the matter, we need the citizens to have some kind of relation to […]

The architect of the European Union mr. Jaques Delors is not with us anymore. May you rest in peace, mr. Delors. As a consequence of this, and as a general effect of a union that has changed over the time, we need to take new steps, in order to embrace and support the legacy of […]

Ok, there are some good news, among all the bad news, that I have wanted to share. As I mentioned earlier, I was approached by the EU, and they have been absolutely amazing in trying to help me with some of the things I have been working with. I have been working quite extensively with […]

Well, the thing is, that what we are up against in this war, is not just the physical fight, it is more the moral fight. Potentially this will lead to a kingdom og Jerusalem, and we all kind of have a hard time wrapping our heads around that. Let me try, and shed a bit […]

Well, there seems to be some kind of development in the negotiations of Gaza. BUT, and honestly, in this I REALLY support mr. Netanyahu in pushing for a more realistic development. I absolutely agree, that the push is necessary. If we dont push, there is nothing to negotiate with. But, and that is really, really […]

Ok, this is the situation in all its grimness. There seems to be no appetite for a war, where we dismantle the infrastructure of Hamas, and put them underground. The result of this, is a slow moving war, that will end up in a stalemate. The Gaza press is moving the world around slowly. It […]

Ok, this is the last day of Hannukah, and here is what it means, in modern terms. First of all, we need to learn from the Maccabees. What did they do? They fought with few numbers against an enemy that was vastly superior. What did that force them to do? It forced them to use […]

Ok, this is the situation. We are, slowly but progressively crawling down south. We are winning, albeit at a great cost in terms of men and infrastructure. Gaza is getting torn apart. But, that is the way war is, unfortunately. At the good side, the UN seems to be put out of commission, more or […]

Ok, I have reflected a bit more on the whole Messianic issue. Seriously. We need to understand what that role implies, in this world. I know, that we are in the middle of a war, and maybe I should have broken the issue after the war, but we need to be prepared for that outcome […]

The war is fought, on our side, with ethics, integrity and force. On the other side, it is fought with civilians as shields, from kindergartens and has a horrible element of abuse of young women. This is the fact, and it does not have anything to do with islam. Islam forbids the use of civilians […]

Ok, these are my reflections regarding the situation in Gaza. We need to be realistic about the outcome. We do not have international support for a complete remigration of all of Gazans, so we need to realize the fact, that Gaza will still be populated by the palestinians after the war, as the West Bank. […]

Ok, the situation is like this. We are very close to winning. It is hard, and the fighting takes a toll. But look at the things on the ground, we are almost dominant on ground. Then we have to initiate the discussion post winning. It is really quite simple. We need to control the security […]

Ok, so, essentially the brass around the world see what I do here at Rubicon as a messianic thing. That has been going on for ten years. It will continue as long as I can make the blog run. The question is, essentially, do we move further? Now would be the perfect time. We are […]

Well, there is a thing, that might filter in, into the presidential campaign that mr. Biden is doing right now. Warren Buffet is a great capitalist. I mean, he must be, with all the money he has made. But he does not really seem like a bad person. In fact he really seems like a […]

Well, we have to figure out, what to do with the world, as soon as this war has ended. What are really the teachings we can get from this conflict. I know that it is not over, and there are a lot of dangers ahead. We could still loose, if we are not playing our […]

Ok, this is the situation, we have won. As long as Hamas only option is to use hostages to make deals, and not do any kind of real action. Then we have, by all kinds of meters, won. What we are looking at, is, essentially the sweep up of the last forces in Gaza. How […]
