Ok Joe, here is what I would recommend you doing in Afghanistan. Draw the troops out in as an orderly fashion as possible. Dont delay, dont hurry, just do it at the pace you find is the right. At the same time, you need to get some pay back from the attack of Isis at […]
Well, as things need to be dealt with in foreign policy, we also need to keep the ball rolling in the department of Climate Change. I have been sailing a lot this summer, as a part of my work with my little TV station. Sailing with my 23 footer, “The Mermaid”. Most of the sailing […]
Well, we have to be brutally honest about the current foreign policy situation. Leaving Afghanistan has weakened the American leadership more than it already was. I get it, we should get out of Afghanistan anyway, and we were doing quite well in subduing Al-Queda. But the move, where the Talibans are victorious, is a massive […]
To understand the development of social media, one needs to understand what drives it, and how we need to tackle the challenge of some tech companies gone rogue in terms of the vigilancy towards the sanctity of democratic dialogue. Let me be honest, it is not a good picture we see. Me, I have been […]
We have a bit of a problem with the Social Media. Me myself, I have had a lot of problems with social media lately, mainly because I have opposed the Black Lives Matter/woke political ideas that are alive and fighting in Denmark. I do this, because I do not accept racism, and you can come […]
Ok, the Afghanistan draw out is kind a reaching a climax. All the newspapers have smelled blood of a leader that they can intimidate, and the ground personnel in Afghanistan are not feeling a sense of security. So what do we do? We show that we understand the game of international politics, and we make […]
Joe, we need a new strategy to counter the old Afghanistan strategy. I know, that the populace is really annoyed we the redrawal from Afghanistan. I am with you on this, this has been going on for too long. But we still need to be seen as doing some action on this issue. I have […]
Well, we have a very tough discussion on IT companies attack on civil rights as free speech and privacy of data. First of all, I get it, we live in a dangerous world, and giving terrorists acces to a new IT structure to do whatever they want is off cause a bad thing. At the […]
When the US went into Afghanistan, it was a reaction to 9/11. An attack on New York in the middle of the day. Mr. Bush used the military to attack a country that, at that time, was the epicenter of a virulent version of islam, a sunni muslim renneassance version of islam including a political […]
When you want to Change the World, it is difficult, people react in different ways based on their world view. In the old world, Change is riddled with violence and destruction. If you want to Change something, you can be sure, that you get the entire system on your back. They will kill you parents, […]
When we talk about the consolidation of the Western Hemisphere, we need to understand what we come from, and then what we can mend and consolidate. To do this, we need to understand other examples of conquest, empires and successes in that area. To be really honest about the difficulties we see in regards to […]
Now, I am very much against the whole race discourse. Why? Well, essentially the system or idea about race, takes away any personal freedom the individual has, and judges people by something he or she cannot change, the color of his skin. That is taking all possibility of making your own life, and make something […]
Now listen. We are up against China, whether we like it or not. It is like that. What we can do however, is to choose ourselves how we tackle the challenge. What we need to do, is to be brutally honest to ourselves about the challenge. How have we been faring so far, and then […]
Well, there is no way around it. We have to discuss what we do to China. First of all, it is extremely complicated, secondly it is extremely dangerous. If we end up in an atomic annihilation campaign we are in deep, deep trouble. Trump had his economic warfare, which didnt work at all. I mean, […]
You know Joe, when you were really in trouble in the beginning of your election, I chose you. It wasn’t the most rational, the best choice in terms of chance to choose a candidate that would give me someone in the White House that would listen to my ideas. But it was because you are […]
Friends, we are looking at a time of division. England and Denmark are going one way, a more conservative way, and the US is going a more liberal way. I know, there are a lot of disagreements, especially when it comes to migration. We here in Europe are not that keen on migration, and it […]
When we talk about race, racism, black against white, I believe we should think about what lies in the very core of the idea. In its essence, its a tyrannical idea. When blacks oppress whites, as they have in South Africa, and honestly when we celebrate whites oppressing blacks, it is the same. Two sides […]
Well, now we have the eternal discussion on “race” in England again. This at a moment, where we were supposed to meet in unity. That was a shame. How do we go about tackle that problem. At the very core of the problem lie the idea of a “race”. I believe, that only at understanding […]
Well that was a bit of a downfall, football coming home, and all that. It gave England something, as I see it. It gave England a sense of purpose a renewed confidence in what England CAN achieve, if we all work together. So thank you for that, and even though we didn’t win, we still […]
Joe, you are doing well. But, I know that I am pretty sharp in my opinions sometime, there is a reason for that. The reason is, that we need to be sharp in understanding the issues ahead, and be clear about the priorities. First of all, what I think Barack is right about, and what […]
Well, when things get out of hand spiritually as well as principly as things have in US lately, what do you do? You go back to the roots. The founding fathers, they had it right. They were descendants of the Italian Renaissance, where Hermeticism and Platonism was all the rave. I know, because I hold […]
Well, that was a pretty good string of meetings Joe, to the point, and you made real progress with mr. Putin. Putin is a megapro. He knows how to play the game, and he is really good at it. At the core of his government, it is actually also a warm heart. You know, Russians […]
Well, it is time for a shift in politics, these are my recommendations for at first move in the vicinity of Israel. Make friends with the neighbors. Egypt is the most important, due to the geographic border with Gaza. Make friends with Sisi, show him appreciation and show that we appreciate his role as leader […]
Well Joe, things are shaping up. There are plenty of pitfalls ahead, but things are, more or less, back to normal. Normal being the state run by politicians with a good relation to the bureaucracy. That is good. Importantly, we need to look at the challenges ahead, in order to prepare. Internationally, there are two […]
Thank you mr. President, after decades of service, finally it is time to put the sidearm to rest besides the chair, and breathe for a second. So many years of vigilance and service to Israel will be written in the books of us Jews, as one of the greatest leaders of Israel and the Jews. […]
Well, things seems to have quieted down a bit, to me, that is not a bad thing. In fact, it is a good thing. All the turbulence of the Trump presidentship has been replaced by the quietness of the Biden presidentship. It is not such a bad thing. I mean, perhaps people need a breather […]
Well, we have had A LOT of experience with the farming sector and how NOT to make a difference in terms of climate progress here in Denmark. First our government put the military into a total destruction of the Mink industry, that was NOT the way to do it. In fact it has created a […]
Well, we have to understand the crisis with racism and the way we can counter it in the US. First of all, I know all about it. When I go to the swimming pool here in Denmark, people get out of the pool that I am in, and go to the other swimming pool, because […]
Well, now I have been doing some practical, live world research and bridge building when it comes to Climate Change, the religious aspects of progressing at a path ALONG science and not against it. That is NOT against physics that is the main contender to the monotheistic religions and the result is actually extremely, extremely […]
Spot on Joe, a renewed focus on economy seen from a Smithsonian perspective is not to give tax cuts to the rich. Don’t get me wrong, we need rich people, and they need to be recognized for their contribution to society. But instead of making a Keynesian attempt at just pumping out money to industry, […]
Well, now we are at the eternal dance around the ‘golden calf’ Israel. It seems to me, that it holds such a mirage of attraction due to its status as the hub of the monotheistic religions. The power that holds Israel is the leader of the three religions. So as a consequence all three religions […]
So first act in the two pronged conflict I presumed has come underway. The conflict in the Middle East between Sunni and Shia Muslim terrorist against Israel is under way. Why do I call them terrorists? Because shooting rockets towards civilians is the very definition of terrorism. War between soldiers and military infrastructure is one […]
Well, we are now entering the post corona world, which equals to Asger has to get back at international blogging world, or whatever you would want to call it. There are several daunting yet possible challenges ahead. First of all, there is the climate change challenge ahead of us. This is a great problem, but […]
Well Joe, you are doing quite well, and the classic Union ideas are MUCH better than Woke identity politics. To me talking about Union Politics gives us a way to connect to Marxism in a way, that we can talk about what is good and bad about Marxism. I think I have a bit of […]
Well, things seems to be developing in a direction that will, at least for the eastern side of the US, be difficult to handle. As of now, France is REALLY gearing up for a fight against islamic extremism. Twenty generals have publicly declared leftwing academics and many muslims enemies of the Democratic/humanistic state inadvertedly threatening […]
Well, now we are, at least, going in the right direction, but we must realize, that there is truly a long way to go, before the world is really under any kind of American leadership. This I do not say to discourage, but to kind of prepare ourselves for the long haul. One of the […]
We now have a new minister of transport, mr Buttiglieg, pretty cool guy to my understanding, has the right balance between liberal and conservative standpoints, and even educated on my favourite university Oxford, the magical place. But seriously Buttiglieg, a rehash of the normal Keynesian philososphy of borrowing money from the banks, investing it in […]
It is kind og working Joe, the Western Europeans are warming up to a renewed alliance with the US, and it seems to me, that people around the world are engaging in some serious soul searching. Having the US back as the leader of the world is something people need to think about. Because where […]
Dear Elisabeth, sincere condolences with your late husband Prince Philip. I have myself tried to be through such trials, loosing someone I really liked, and I must say, that I really sympathise. You cannot describe the loss you feel, when someone so close goes away. So this is not a critical review of Prince Philip, […]
Well, now the dichomoty between democratic islam, and kalifate islam is enhanced and underlined both in the UK in relation to the current debalce over the Mohammad cartoon in a school, and in the meeting between the EU and Turkey. It seems to me, that the radicalists are trying to dominate and find conflict with […]
Ok Joe, listen, I am certainly your oldest political friend in the current political life. You know, I cried when you didn’t stand for election at Hillarys run, I was so bewildered, because usually when I see something, it comes trough. But then Trump won and things never really have been the same since then. […]
Ok, it seems to me, that the Biden administration is finally taking up the idea of doing an advanced, complicated yet possibly successful strategy in foreign policy. This is what we did in the Obama era, and that was, one of the most successful phases of American power. There have been other successful phases of […]
Guys, we are in trouble, again, if I may be so bold. Ok, let me be absolutely honest with you, where did this strand of “Change” come from, and where does it lead. Well, it comes from a European Socialdemocratic tradition that has developed under the yoke of different fascist enemies. My first political mentor […]
Ok, so the world is really changing, one of the main changes, I suppose is the abandonment of Obama principles that lead the world before Biden came to power. Trump didnt change much of the Obama ideas in his presidency, if anything, he enhanced them. So for me, being an Obama supporter, and having envisioned […]
Well, now the West seems to have stopped supporting the anti Isis coalition of most of the world including most major powers in the Middle East. Add to this, the Kurds are kind of caught in the middle. What is essentially happening. It is, sorry to say, the West that is reverting to its default […]
My Bangladeshi family have always been a staunch supporter of western values. My father Mohammad Liaquat Hussain attended a British led boarding school, and was a freedom fighter in the Bangladeshi fight for freedom. He always talked about Mohatma Ghandi, and his fight for freedom. But he still supported the British institutions that are still […]
The main enemy of the Obama administration was ISIS. We did that, because these guys are a murdering lot. But also because by pointing out precisely the extremists of the muslim world, that most other Muslims despise for their radicality and lack of humanism, we protected most other muslims. So it was a win win. […]
Trýing to pick up where Obama left is pretty difficult, there has run a lot of water under the bridge, so to speak, so we need to relay the whole security perspective to this. But, the essential stratifications are still the same. On the right flank the greatest threat is the rise of islamism, or […]
The international perspectives are getting along, the US is trying to find a way in this new situation, or rather to refind its momentum. Let us be honest about the cause and aim of an American lead world, it is Democracy. It is something it has in common with both France and the UK, in […]
I have just finished a Symposium on Oxford with rev. Brian Mountford. I have attended before, but this time, it seems to me, that the dialogue have been going on so long, that we are really beginning what I suppose mr. Mountford had inteded in the first place with the Symposium, some true ecumenical progress. […]
