Ukraine: Zelensky has leverage and should use it

“We received signals from partners in the Middle East. There have been strikes by Iranian “shaheds” on civilians in those countries. They are seeking our expertise. We are open. If their representatives come, we will provide the expertise. Especially since there is also a request from Europeans and from the United States. Requests have come to us to share our experience with partners in the Middle East. Regarding weapons: we ourselves are at war. And I said, completely frankly, that we have a shortage of what they have. They have missiles for the Patriots, but hundreds or thousands of “shaheds” cannot be intercepted with Patriot missiles – it is too costly. Nothing is too much for the people, of course, but they simply do not have that many missiles. That is why they need interceptor drones, which we have. Meanwhile, we have a shortage of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. So, when it comes to technology or weapons exchange, I believe our country will be open to it” – President Volodymyr Zelensky (04.03.2026).

Today after years of conflict and continues defence war between Ukraine and the Russian-Belorussian axis against them. Kyiv finally has a word and has a say. Because they have the knowhow and the experience in means to stop the invasion of Iranian drones and Iranian military technology. The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) has now the knowledge and the ability to stop these sorts of weaponry against it. Therefore, the learned skill and the price of defending against it is now a valuable asset.

Kyiv now has a card. Heck, Kyiv has something valuable and they can help allies. Allies who have blocked arms and made it hectic for them to wage a defensive war. Washington D.C. has been a stepping stone and a direct blockade of delivery of promised weapons, ammunition and whatnot to Kyiv.

Trump has ambushed and treated Zelensky with harsh means. He has treated him badly and been a worse as an adversary. Trump could easily be an enemy of Zelensky by how he has operated and acted regarding Ukraine. Now that Trump is under fire and started a conflict, which he never understood the implications of. That’s why he suddenly calls Kyiv and asks for help. After he has done everything in his way to weaken and make things worse for the Ukrainian efforts to stifle and stop Russian from invading their nation. This is why…

Zelensky should get everything he asks for. Zelensky should be greedy and be on the offensive. He should, because Trump isn’t a trustworthy leader or a character you can depend on. So, he should ask for the gifts of heaven and whatever he can send to Kyiv in exchange for the means to stop Iranian drones in the Middle East. That’s what he should, and no one should blame him.

Now is the time for the United States of America to pay Ukraine. Now is the time to serve Ukraine and give them what they are asking for. If they want help from Ukraine. Ukraine should get whatever it is asking for. That’s if the USA wants to have wisdom or the ability to stop the Iranian attacks in the Middle East. As they have what he needs… and Trump should bend the knee.

No one can trust Trump. No one should believe anything Trump does. That’s why Ukraine should only offer their knowhow and possible technologies when the U.S. has delivered what they have promised. Because they have promised before and never delivered it. So, please…

Kyiv be smart. You have leverage. Use it. Peace.

Opinion: Trump cannot even “sell” this war

“We have from the beginning, we’ve projected 4-5 weeks but we have capability to go far longer than that. We will do whatever… They said ‘oh well, the President wants to do it really quickly, after that he’ll get bored.’ I don’t get bored. There is nothing boring about this. There is nothing boring about it” – President Donald J. Trump (02.03.2026).

The war against Iran which Trump and Netanyahu ordered are now backfiring. These two can’t even explain or give proper reasons for doing so. They have given the war various of names, but it won’t be splendid or anything extra-ordinary, as this is just a hogwash war to dishonour the world. There seems to be a mismatch of what narratives the U.S. wants to spread. Neither has the U.S. or Israel tried to get the International Community or the United Nations involved in it. Instead they did everything to just launch it and hope it finished by the morning.

President Trump seems like he wants to look like he got it. That he can be the international and world wide bully. Nevertheless, this case it doesn’t work. That’s why the Iranians has captured him already and they are creating more havoc across the Middle East. They are targeting all the military installations and the bases of which the U.S. operates in the nearby area of Iran. This is why the U.S. wasn’t prepared for that or had stockpiles of defensive equipment to met this pressure for their allies. That’s why the Gulf Nations feels betrayed and left behind by the U.S., as they could build bases and be in the region. That was supposed to defend both interests, but now Pentagon and the Department of War wasn’t ready or even considering the implications of their warfare. That’s why we are here… and seeing the ramifications.

The Peter Hegseth’s of the world cannot even hold the story together and says they are not the ones who did it. He is claiming it was Iran who started it. Really showing the arrogance and the blatant disregard for the truth on the 3^rd Day of Conflict. The ruse is here, but who will be fooled?

As President Trump speaks of drapes and other artefacts, because he cannot find something more ridiculous to say. This inept and corrupt government lacks character, they are warmongers and such who doesn’t have any sense. These people cannot even find grounds or reasoning, these people couldn’t even put the dope on the table and say we are catching the drug dealers. No, they just claim the drugs are there and that someone is illegally transported it across the border. Therefore, these people don’t have the guts or the balls to tell the truth.

Truth is dangerous. The truth is supreme and make all the lies naked. Trump and Netanyahu cannot tell the truth. They rather lie and this is why their stories doesn’t add up. The Pentagon or the U.S. cannot muster any reasonable doubt for this attack. They are just ping-pong the grounds and the bollocks timeline, as if we cannot see they are doing it on wings and a prayer. This is the bleak reality…

Trump doesn’t mind the deaths, the destruction and people living in the ashes. He wants to build hotels in Gaza and the West Bank as the Chairman of the Board of Peace. Surely, him and Kushner has ideas of building a residential building in Teheran too. Nevertheless, don’t expect magic or anything sincere here. Just like their porkies.

Most likely someone gave Trump an ultimatum or a deal he couldn’t say “no” too. That’s why we are here, but everything else seems to be out of play. As the slow operations and start of it. That’s why Trump already has asked Iran back to the negotiation table. Like he can ask for dialogue after killing lots of the central leadership of the Iranian government. Who does he think he is and that’s all just a game?

This is why reality will hit him. There will be consequences for him because of this. Not only the missiles and destruction in the Middle East. No, Trump will be held responsible, as he did it and ordered the war. It is all on him and Netanyahu. Both of them did this… and we know it. Their stories won’t change it.

The U.S. and Israel has to be held responsible for acting in this manner and giving Iran the reasons to retaliate. This wouldn’t have happened without the attack from the axis. Those decided that… and we are now just following the aftermath of it. Peace.

The Israeli-US war against Iran on Day 3: Cyprus waving a white flag

“Our country is not participating in any way, nor does it intend to become part of any military operation” – President of Cyprus – Nikos Christodoulides (02.03.2026).

“We did not start this war. But under President Trump, we are ending it” – U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (02.03.2026)

The ones living in oblivion and are deluded will believe the words of Hegseth or anyone else spewing that sort of propaganda. In this regard, as the bombs, missiles and usage of force are continuing in the Middle East as a response to the Israeli American attack on Iran. Iran retaliated and did so in defence after the Trump and Netanyahu went to war.

There is reports that US and Israel didn’t build up stockpiles or the needed military supply to continue a prolonged war. They were busy thinking a few strikes and assassinations then everything would go back to normal. Like the Iranians wouldn’t have the capabilities or the ability to keep up a prolonged conflict. Alas, there is where the axis of Washington and Tel Aviv mistakenly wrong. As they bombed a nation which was in the middle of negotiations and dialogue but got bombed instead by the other party.

That’s why I lack sympathy for Israel or U.S., as this was what they ordered and what they wanted. The Iranian forces are going after the allies, the nations who trusted the U.S. and Israel. This being Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia. Jordan, Iraq or anyone else really. All of the Middle East has spiralled into the conflict and it’s everywhere. Everyone is touched and there is earth shattering missiles hitting military installations and vital infrastructure that was used by intelligence community or buildings in associated with that. Therefore, Iran isn’t shredding tears but coming with a powerful message that they won’t be muffled around and accept their fate of just being another target of Trump or another Republican for that matter. No, they will retaliate and respond to the ones going against them.

The nations who have the bases feels left behind by their ally. They accepted the strings and sought a defensive partnership by having these bases on their territories. That’s why they had the navy at the ports and the military bases with airports too. Just so the Americans could use it for whatever it saw fit. That’s why they accepted it… and now it is costing them. These nations are in the crossfire and are getting touched or touched by Iran. Iran is doing this to show the nations who attacked them or worked with their enemies aren’t shielded. This is being done after Israel and U.S. gone rouge with intent of “regime change” which isn’t happening. Yes, the Ayatollah was assassinated, but the leadership is just changing faces. So, this isn’t helping the cause at all.

“No stupid rules of engagement, no nation-building quagmire, no democracy-building exercise. No politically correct wars. We fight to win, and we don’t waste time or lives” – U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (02.03.2026)

This here doesn’t look like victory at all. The U.S. allies of the Middle East is feeling the pinch and left alone. The ones who allowed the U.S. army building infrastructure and military bases are now being burned at both ends. They are losing both wealth, power and whatever else that brought prosperity to these nations. That’s why they are calling foul and feels the U.S. didn’t honour their agreements or the reasonable prospects of having them on their soil. However, Trump didn’t consider it or even think this could be the implication of launching this war.

Meanwhile Tel Aviv is going into Lebanon and continuing the warfare there. So, for Israel it isn’t enough to just target Iran. They aren’t only lost in the waves of the attacks from Teheran. They are doing this to Beirut too and doing this to be the biggest warlord of the region. That’s why this war just launching into new levels and new enemies are created.

Pentagon is reported to go crazy, and they lack clear strategy ahead. They went into it like headless chickens and without a prior assessment of how things could play out. They just thought they could play wargames and that there wouldn’t be ramifications of it. Neither that the Iranians wouldn’t strike back or have the capabilities to do this. Like Teheran couldn’t plan or think of stockpiling the necessary weaponry to be a danger to the ones striking at it.

This here is just day three and there isn’t anything positive happening in the Middle East. Industries are hit. Petroleum is in danger. LNG or Gas are ceased operation too. Vessels are hit outside of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz. Planes are falling from the sky in Kuwait. Therefore, this day is a reckoning.

This isn’t a theatre or a play; no this is real life. People’s lives are in danger. Energy markets hit across the world. War is dangerous and treasonous territory, which we don’t know how it moves. That’s why every day is different and the strikes are hitting new places, which has new consequences. This is all the fault of Israel and the United States who launched this war. They are responsible for the retaliations of Iran. Therefore, they cannot act like they are on the defensive or the ones who did it in self-defence. No, they are the aggressor and the ones who acted with malice. Peace.

Opinion: Some says War has returned to Europe [and I say it was exported but now came home to roost]

It been a long time since the Yugoslavian war in the 1990s. That was the last big-war and conflict, which the world powers came into play and fought on separate sides. As all the Slavic people of region fought for their statehood and such. Which in the end has ended up on in several of independent nations, but has since then been at peace.

Alas, there haven’t been a moment where the European powers haven’t been involved or participated elsewhere since then. They have either done that by proxy, by exporting military weapons or equipment or themselves participated in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) operations or invasion. If not, it has directly invaded or made itself impose it’s power onto a nation. Therefore, it has never ceased to use weapons and war. The only difference, it has happen far away and for other means.

The United States has supported wars, been the main aggressor or the initiator in several of conflicts. While United Kingdom has participated directly too. Other European nations has been parts of coalition of a willing. Therefore, we know they are willing wage war and has done so too. This been done over years and the conflict ever ceasing. Even after they are leaving. The parties are still unresolved and the conflicts persist.

So, when I hear again and again that the war returned to Europe. I am saying “yes it did, but it was already here”. What I mean by that… the Europeans has exported the wars. They have supported proxies, which has fought their wars. Europeans has sent brigades, operative armies elsewhere and done warfare. This being as part of United Nations Peacekeeping Missions or directly work for own interests in former colonies.

That’s why the European nations haven’t been all peaceful. They have used arms, weapons and military equipment all across the globe. They have traded and earned profits on wars. This has been done and these wars has only been bylines or parts of bulletins in the tabloids. While bloodshed, massacres and whatnot happens in these conflicts. That is just what’s going on. If it is in Yemen, Somalia, Democratic Republic of Congo or in the Central African Republic. These things can be prolonged and the conflict is a very valuable commodity. A commodity and a business, which is a never ending ride of profits, both in weaponry and resources, which becomes easily accessible when you have the right leader serving any given territory. Therefore, these sorts of moves has happened and the West has gladly joined the ride.

This is why the powers of the West, United States and others has supported the end of certain leaders. In such a fashion, that it get rid of a popular leader who intends to nationalize or reform the mineral extraction industries and instead get a puppet regime there. While using armies and support to keep it up. A war for the interests of the West and not for the nation at hand. Just like it accepted to use illegal means to overthrow Morales in Bolivia. That sort of play fitted the U.S. and Washington D.C. and it could have been much more bloody. However, that’s how it does it and we cannot deny this fact in 2022.

Yes, Russia’s imperialism in Ukraine is wrong. Nevertheless, that doesn’t justify the imperialism of United States or any of it’s NATO allies either. What the USA did in Iraq or Afghanistan should be addressed. Just like whatever war-crimes that all parties have possibly done in Syria. The same can be said about the parties involved Yemen or Ethiopia for that matter. All war-crimes should be punishable and be investigated by the same International Court. Not just go after Russia now. The other nations and the leadership of that time should be held accountable. That is only fair.

So, when saying all this. African Union has worked for a few years now to “silence the guns” which is an ideal programme. No matter how faulty and weak the AU is an organization. How the AU as an entity tends to favour tyrants and dictators, instead of the will of the people. Still, the ideals of that programme is something the European Union and United States should look into themselves. As it is a set of ethics, which could inspire them to think about the consequences of it’s actions elsewhere.

Right now it is justified to enlarge military budgets, expand spending on upgrading the military equipment and vehicles, ensure you have a decent air-force and whatnot. When the war-drums are happening so close to your own shores. It only makes sense, as the borders and the length of distance to Ukraine set the parameter of action of own self-defence. However, Europe has participated and been acting in accordance with war. Just not on their shores or in the near borders of own capitals. It hasn’t gotten close to comfort. Neither has the consequences of it or the ramifications of a war. No, that has been held at a distance…

Now, the conflicts of Europe is coming home. The weapons exports is happening to far-away hinterland or to any of their allies world-wide. Therefore, this war is more consuming to the West. Since, it involves them all and it’s a worry of escalation. Also, if Russia want to further it’s borders and annex even more countries after Ukraine. That is unknown and uncharted territory of Europe in this day and age. They have accepted and participated in conflicts outside of their home-bound regions. But now it’s happening there and it makes things more edgy.

That’s why people are speaking of the wars are coming home. I will say they were always here. That’s why we was busy making advanced weapons, exporting ammunition and selling artillery across the world. While also either being part or being parties in conflicts across the world after the 1990s Yugoslavian war.

There is time to recognize this and acknowledge this. Because, if we don’t, we are hypocrites and people who don’t reflect on our own actions. My own home country has exported weapons and participated in NATO missions across the world, which has inflicted insufferable damage and destruction. This is why we cannot act like we didn’t wage war or had no say in it. Our nations and participation had consequences, which is felt today in Libya and Afghanistan. These sorts of acts shouldn’t be forgotten. It is the act of cruelty to forget that… and we can’t if we are honest.

The wars wasn’t in Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Rome or in Warsaw, but we never know our future. Yesterday it was in Kabul and Baghdad. Now it is hitting Kyiv and we should stand in solidarity with Ukraine. However, at the same time, we need to reflect on the policies and actions, which lead the West and U.S. into similar conflicts anywhere else. Peace.

Somalia: South West State of Somalia Position in the rift within the Gulf States (17.09.2017)

The World needs Rambo right now!

John Rambo: “[alternate line from Director’s Cut] You’re not going anywhere. And there isn’t one of us that doesn’t want to be someplace else. But this is what we do, who we are. Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call” (John Ramo, 2008).

The world is spinning in circle and things are continuing sometimes without any change. But the situations are still uncertain. There are fleeing civilians from the Democratic Republic of Congo, continues civil-war inside South Sudan, oppression in Burundi and Rwanda. Grand issues in regions of Somalia as AMISOM fiercely goes after Al-Shabaab. The continued civil-war infused with control from Saudi Arabia and United States in Yemen. The war inside Syria with the fleeing refugees from there. The international complications this all assess. The massive amounts of people who are inflicted in this conflicts.

This is also the issues created by and their national alliances, like Syria are also in hot-bed with Russia, United States, Turkey and Iran. The same can be said with the international implications to the stalemate between Qatar and the rest of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). That the Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Bahrain and so on are all blocking, so many nations has cut their diplomatic ties with Qatar.

With all the conflicts and bigger diplomatic spats, the world needs Rambo’s. Especially considering that the deaths where it doesn’t counts is showed when it comes to mud-slides in Sierra Leone. The importance of Hurricane Harry, which is credible storm in Texas, but the world should have cared of the 500 deaths in Western Africa.

That the world is significant fragile is with the President Trump and the nuclear codes, the vicious attacks of both representatives and international leaders like Merkel and President Kim Jung-Un. The threats between North Korea and United States are clearly flaring up the tensions in South-East Asia, as the rockets keep shooting-up and testing.

Therefore, with this we need Rambo, someone to come in with confidence. Rambo needs to come into the problems and sort them out. So that the diplomatic disputes gets sorted out, as his spring fears into the ones who are in the same room. If Rambo came with his weapons and his rhetoric, maybe Trump wouldn’t such and ass. Maybe Putin would try out other tricks, than actually using methods of deception. As so many other world leaders would seek peace instead of wars and refugees. Rambo could come in and make a change.

The nice talk of Bono, the ethical codes of United Nations has not worked. The non-peaceful atmosphere is steady in too many places, to many deaths should be examined and not die without any consideration. Rambo could have helped, made sure the council and the world forums would actually not talk, but act. The crisis in South Sudan, DRC, Burundi, Syria, Yemen, Middle East and so on.

The world needs Rambo, the world needs a hero who can actually give a damn, not just make the world a place for multi-national companies who rob the resources and would not care for kids working for militias, so the world can cobalt for the smart-phones production. Rambo needs to come and make change, he might not be perfect. But something has to change. Someone has step-in, Rambo needs to come and significantly change in the world. Times change, but Rambo might sort it out!

“Murdock: Rambo, you can feel totally safe because we have the most advanced weapons in the world available to us.

Rambo: I’ve always believed that the mind is the best weapon.

Murdock: Times change.

Rambo: For some people” (Rambo: First Blood Part II, 1985).
