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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

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.  […]

​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 […]

Ok, I have finished a small seminar to the possible progress of the Democratic party. First of all, we need to unite, not to be divided. How do we do that? We do it by strengthening the core of the American Republic, the faith, values, what The Us of A is all about. We need […]

Well, you have the honour of the presence of the Danish PM these days. Thank you Donald. That was nice of you. He is not much of a positive person in my book. He sacrificed all that was the initial virtues of his party Venstre on the altar of the EU. Venstre was built as […]

We have to be honest about the build up of islamic state like fighters in Europe. We have had numerous incidents of terror but also findings of weapons caches in mosques. As Erdogan said; the mosque will be the spearhead and the sword. Well as Hitler, if he says that, he probably means it. I […]

After the attack on Westminster, one thing is clear. This problem will not be solved by more money, multiculturalism, inclusiveness or dialogue.  As I have said, numerous times, it is a war, and we are not even fighting it.  To act on this war, we actually have to WANT to fight it.  This requires a […]

In France the contented ms. Le Pen is in trouble, why? Because the election platform is too narrow.  To fight islamism is good, to support your country is good. But a ticket to the Elysee has to be a bit broader.  I belive, that the antisemitic message is out, and now, hopefully, we can see […]

Things are starting to move in England. As political correctness is faltering, the debate about the trouble and the failure of multiculturalism is starting.  About time one should perhaps notice.  Ideas that are wrong should be criticised, and new ideas should come instead. But at the end of the day, this day of mourning because […]

France is overrun by extremism; left-wing extremism, right-wing extremism and islamism.  In this difficult hour, it is time to relive what France is. Is it a weak and sick old man, or is it a beautiful country with traditions of the roman era, of the men of north, the spirit of Isis; Paris.  Now I […]

In the current conflict between migrants and Europeans, we have two choices, or rather, I suppose we mostly have already chosen.  We can either chose to confront this conflict as an ethnic conflict or as a political conflict.  In Sweden the current environment, which is absolutely devastating, the conflict will, most probably, be ethnic. As […]

These days there is a lot of problems politically in the US. The left is trying to undermine the right, and the right really hates the left. Not always, and sometimes it is right, and so on. But the country is split into two warring factions, that do not compromise or try to work together.  […]

I am hopefully going to the US, maybe on behest of the conservatives or the liberals, but there is one thing that I have really realized the last few days.  You need to start, or restart your tradition of philosophy in the US. I mean, I will be happy to be a surrogate for some […]

Well, I have wanted to go to Oxford again, and it is a bit of a challenge. I got sidestepped because the Americans showed interest, but still I want to go to Oxford. I have given it a bit of thought. I know, that from the outside I am seen as a bit of a […]

It is with a great shame, that I see, that the Turkish government are not able to discern between their own government and that of a foreign government.  If turkish citizens happen to be in the Netherlands or in Germany. Then they are not entitled to any part of the democratic waving of Turkey.  If […]
