  • Reality must yield

    We had ‘health experts’ these last two years for COVID, now we have ‘military experts’ for Ukraine. Sky News UK had this fella telling us the Russians had ‘stalled’ just south of Izyum: Compare this with info over the last few days that Russians had been both strengthening their position around Izyum (in the figure…

  • Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum

    It was the very thought that came into my own head the moment I heard this: ‘Reality of our time’: Dutton warns Australians to prepare for war. Of course, my Latin is a bit rusty so the thought occurred to me only in English. However, the more up-to-date and erudite chaps and chapesses at The Spectator…

  1. The joke’s on him. He paid around $1000+ for a pair of bespoke Erkos that make him look comical rather…
