People from the U.S. usually feel that they do not understand Russians much. That is quite normal considering the historical rivalry and fighting between the two great nations.  But, seen from a Danish perspective things might not be so different after all. Please let me explain what the Russians are, and how they ended up being […]

In Egypt, there is a rise in anti Christian sentiment. Especially the Copts, who is an ancient Christian group of worship has been hit hard.  The current government of Al-Sisi tries it best to protect the Copts, but the problems persists. Especially ISIS related gangs seems to be targeting the poor Copts with suicide bombers and […]

You know, I am really amazed at the performance Mr. Trump did in Poland. Seriously, hands down, that was a class act. No doubt about it. You just hit all the right buttons, in a balanced, supportive, avant-garde speech that will go down in history as the first move of an American president in the […]

I really fought for Ms. Clinton in the last American election. I was, all in all, one of the prime strategic advisers Ms. Clinton had.  When we lost, I kind of lost my own swagger, it was the first election I have ever lost, and it was the fifth one I had had a part […]

Great literature usually carries a claim to formulate what is not conscious. The subconscious truths that we all agree upon, but are not ready to speak openly about.  You can shine with the light of the moon or the light of the sun. The moonlight is usually the light of great novels. The philosopher however must […]

I have been neglecting the US for some time here on Rubicon, mostly because I have been really busy with Denmark and the UK.  Put on hold but certainly not forgotten. Anyway, I hope that some of the things that is developed for the UK, can be used in the US as well.  There is […]

To truly understand the depth the change that we may be able to carry forward in the UK, one needs to understand the problems that we are facing.  The socialist doctrine of free movement and free everything is not a viable way forward.  What is viable however, is to understand what the shortfalls of said […]

The election, and the fall out of the drama, is finally over.  It is time to wrap it up, and talk a little about the potential political growth that we realized in the election.  First of all, we need to do other things than just Brexit. Yes it is a humongous task, but focusing only […]

The endless cycle of war has finally begun in the UK. That of attack and retaliation. This is how war works.  If the one side keeps attacking, and no one answers, in the end someone will do it in a primitive way.  As the conflict unfolds, people will be forced to choose sides. This is […]

There has been a lot of discussion on the Wealtfarestate and the problems this part of the country is in.  Let me clear, more money is not the answer. Already it is extremely expensive. What will work however, is the ATTITUDE towards the wealthfarestate.  The basic problem with the wealthfarestate is firstly a widespread demoralization. […]

As the conflicts with the islamists are on the rise, the measures to use against them must meet the challenge they pose.  If it is truly is an act of terrorism burning down the sky scraper of London, well, the true horror of the foe is fully revealed. We saw it in Syria with the Yazidi […]

Now, there is a hung parliament. This is very unusual for British politics, but in Denmark, this is the way it works.  It is like this. A PM for a coalition, will have to serve the entire coalition. That is really the difficult thing. Because a PM from one party has to include the most […]

Ok, here a fortnight after the election, things seem to have unfurled more or less the way I saw it. The DUP is much more conservative than the conservatives, and draws the Tories to the right. It is not good if this means control of gays, abortion and so on. But as a staunch supporter […]

There has been much discussion on the manifesto, and the how’s and why’s of this election vehicle.  I tend to agree, as probably all have, that it wasn’t that great of a paper to work from. It seems to me, that the Tory leadership was so fixed on Brexit, that they forgot about all the […]

There is a rising interest in a cooperation between the right and the left of the aisle on different issues. The main being, if we actually listen to the constituency, the dismantling of the wealthfarestate.  It is not necessarily in the historic interest of the Tories to dismantle the wealthfarestate, there has been a tradition […]

Well, well, well, who would have though that. A hung parliament, and the pollsters, once again, had it all wrong. Anyway. If we look at the issues discussed and the outcome, this was a very difficult election, not at least because there were two terror attacks in the midst of it. This skewered the whole […]

There has been a lot of discussion on the current development, and that the UK treads new ground. Tackling the islamists is perhaps difficult, and how will it end and so on.  Just to be clear on this, since it is basically my ideas we are working with. There is absolutely nothing new in the […]

In these devastating and difficult times, we need guidance. Not just heavenly guidance, but, as I see it, guidance from a certain aspect of spirit. We are entering a war, that is quite obvious, and this war, if we want to end up with peace, has to be conducted in a very intelligent and planned […]

Here we go again, another terror attack. This time done with simple tools, and so easy to do. All you have to do is to have knife, and then start aiming at people.  We are so vulnerable against these attacks.  It is on high time, that we stop treating these cases as police matter, and […]

I order to realize some true progress in the election in the UK, which, but the way is on track again. One also needs to address the question of economy.  The novel way mr. Cameron addressed this issue, has given a lot of good results in terms of economy and real jobs. That is what is […]

​To understand what is happening with the EU right now, one has to understand the reason to the problems.  This is not to point fingers, but simply to try and analyze the problems.  When Dion, the supporter of the Syracusan aristocracy and friend of Plato was exiled from Syracuse in 500 BC, he tried to […]

Europe is changing whether we want it or not, war is coming. It is already here. Not realizing this, is like the Second World War, just delaying the inevitable. Hitler has already blown the horn, and he is moving, with intent on Poland. As in the Second World War, what we need is not another Chamberlain, […]

We have covered the ideological basis of the fight against ISIS. It has been like that from the beginning, and will continue like that. It is an American lead democratic fight against an inhuman enemy. Something we saw in all simplicity in the attack in Manchester.  The power brokers of ISIS seems to have had […]

In the face of the Manchester attack, there is a bit of soul searching for all of Britain. And a bit of waking up.  In its essence, this is a philosophical discussion on the how’s and what’s of the conflict. It is really quite simple, if you look at it from outside. You were attacked by […]

It is with the utmost horror that I hear about the terror attack in Manchester. The unspeakable atrocities done there, and I do condemn them with all there is of any shred of decency in my soul. There is no excuse for killing innocent children. And we need to buckle up, shed the illusions and get […]

The UK is in a bit of a trouble. First of all, it is the very complicated divorce from the EU. In itself a mounting task. At the other hand, there are the requirements of the British public.  These two processes are in direct opposition.  First of all, I believe, that Ms. May is a […]

One of the true mysteries that I have pondered through the years is what good is. We talk about it all the time, and everybody, or most of us, wish to be good persons.  But do we know what good is?I know, because I have finally had a revelation reading the Platonic dialogue Protagoras. It […]

I have a clear shot on being the king of Israel. The timing is right, the prophesies are right, and I have the motivation.  But, the thing is, it ain’t over til the fat lady sings. Having a shot on something, is not the same as it being true.  I say this, because I do […]

I have given quite a lot of thought to the issue of, what do we do now. If we look at the Republican, they are in total chaos, because they have not accomplished a viable cooperation with Mr. Trump. This is not to say anything mean about Trump, he is what he is. It is […]

It seems to me, that there is a huge problem in Europe. The Islamist are truly arming up, the European Union is falling apart, and the questions are more than the answers.  In this case, my basic problem is, that there are so many political parties that I am invested in, and I am in […]

It is with an absolute disgrace I see the video where Mr. Tommy Robinson explain how he treated by the police in the UK. Is this really the level of civilization we have fallen to? I know that talking about difficult things are problematic, but seriously, taking in his pregnant wife for interrogation. Scaring his […]

I have been reflecting a bit on the ethical stance of the renewed Democratic Party. Why is it so important? There are several reasons. First of all, because being a good person, is in itself important. Goodness or the ability to serve G-d on this green earth, is an imperative for us all. But there are […]

I am reading a lot of Isocrates, because he may not be as famous as his namesake Socrates, but he was, in many ways, just more practical. A lot of the citations just speak for themselves, so I will give you a small cavalcade here. And in btw. I have reached out with my press […]

When it comes to development of a liberal perspective, I believe there is a more profound discussion we need to take.  It is about values. What do we really believe in. Virtue is at the heart of all political as well as personal development. According to Isocrates, virtue is the one thing you can never […]

I know, that I have been a bit too supportive of Mr. Trump. But I think it is wise due to two considerations. 1. I truly believe, that the best way to make the best things of Mr. Obamas legacy survive is by cooperation. 2. There was a very true challenge to the system itself […]

I am a little sorry, that the election in France went it way it went. I understand, that the situation is extreme, and true middle leaning candidates are not available, like in other countries.  But, I would really have liked for France, to find a more simple and controlled way out of the chaos that […]

I know, that there is soon a deadline for the overall budget of the American Nation.  There is one thing I believe we should let Mr. Trump do. That is to make a better border patrol in the south. I know, that this is difficult, because we are afraid that it will be too inhumane. […]

To be a leading academic has never really been a goal of mine. I could have had some kind of academic career, and I was very happy with my trip to Oxford a few years back. But to me, most academic institutions leaves too little room for crosstopical discussion. And with my rebellious attitude, I […]

It is with great joy, that I see, that Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump has finally had an opportunity to talk to each other. It is good, because that will, hopefully, put a break on some of the escalation of the different conflicts in the world.  If the two great powers do not speak to […]

​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 […]
