Someone asked if the world can trust the Saudis. Well, their actions prove to me that they’re 100 percent trustworthy. Saudi Arabia is in the midst of one of history’s greatest and fastest transformations. If I had my way, everyone would concentrate on the huge accomplishments and ignore the rest. I believe I know what…
Winning wars requires that we fight like the Arab League
March 9, 2016
Western powers don’t accept that journalism has transformed itself into advocacy for decay. The old dictum “If it bleeds, it leads” was meant to sell copies of newspapers, attract eyeballs to screens, and bewitch ears with radio stations. Now, journalists are opponents of progress. Rather than report, they choose to be propagandists for malefactors. It’s…
Ground invasion of Syria: Did it begin today?
March 3, 2016
Most people love bad news. They also love to be afraid. I spent most of my life being disappointed, angry, and fearful, so I’m grateful for every scrap of improvement that I see around me. I think the Muslim Anti-Terror Coalition ground invasion of Syria began today, which is very good news. It means the…
Apocalypse? Hardly. This is called “mopping up”
March 2, 2016
Nothing annoys me more than people who are seduced by fear. As an investor, I’m personally impacted when blubbering, weak-kneed, gutless poseurs run screeching for the doors every three days. They make me sick. So do those who warn that the Apocalypse is about to start in the Middle East. I’m fifty-three; every damn day…
Life can be made far more frightening than death
February 29, 2016
Today I suddenly understood another aspect of the military genius that Saudi Deputy Crown Prince and Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman is showing. The Arab League and its allies are fighting in Syria, using new weapons that I call EMPFAE munitions. They produce shock waves and nonnuclear electromagnetic pulses that wreck the enemy’s electronics. They…
Weapons and tactics. Study them, and you’ll know the world
February 4, 2016
Last night I wrote a post about the war of words between Turkey and the Syrian Kurds. My opinion is that it’s posturing as a way of saving face, a way of projecting strength, and as geopolitical deception. Today I discovered that I was right. My knowledge of weapons and military capabilities allowed me to…
Fear overcome. Now I’m sure this won’t come true
January 8, 2016
I spent the day researching cluster munitions. Tomorrow I’ll debunk the Human Rights Watch (HRW) lie that Saudi Arabia dropped cluster munitions in the city of Sanaa, Yemen, on January 6, 2016. Thanks to HRW’s photographers, I’ll also prove that previous accusations of cluster munitions being used were also lies. Now I’m too tired to…
The Israeli strategy of island hopping
November 12, 2015
For most of the history of warfare, the combatants lined up on opposite sides of a field or tract of water and advanced. When they met, they bashed each other as hard as they could until somebody gave up. This approach changed in World War I. Instead of marching on strong points, armies sent in…
Yemen: Tyler Hicks up to his old tricks
September 12, 2015
In Gaza, New York Times photographer Tyler Hicks was deeply involved in the Hamas military deception operation that claimed the lives of Ismail Bakr, Mohammed Bakr, Ahed Bakr, and Zakaria Bakr. Now Hicks and writer Kareem Fahim have teamed up for the New York Times’ misleading and utterly nonfactual piece “Airstrikes Take Toll on Civilians…
