According to “international law” attacking Iran is only justified if they posed an “instant” and “overwhelming” threat

As expected, following the attack over the weekend mounted by a joint United States and Israel force on Iran resulting in the deaths of senior leaders of their Islamic regime including its “supreme leader” the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, left-of-centre elements are crying over the breakdown of “international law”. Writing for The Conversation, Shannon Brincat and…

In a shooting war between a Western democratic power and an authoritarian Islamic state, whose side will you take?

Sure Israel bombed Gaza to smithereens and, sure, it is now doing pre-emptive strikes on military targets in Iran. Sure, the United States, is now involved in this conflagration and, together with Israel, will likely bring the Islamic regime of Iran to its knees. So what’s wrong with all that? Is that good enough reason…

World War III won’t start but Donald Trump shouldn’t have done that

He shouldn’t have done that. This is a now all-too-familiar lament echoing the world over following the US airstrike that killed Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The airstrike, ordered by President Donald Trump, caught everyone by surprise, from the US’s allies in Europe to Capitol Hill. US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemned the attack in…

Filipinos stink

Something has been bothering me these past few days. Something smelled quite fishy, but I couldn’t quite put a bead on it. The words to describe it had been escaping me. Then it just hit me: Filipinos stink. In more ways than one. They showed this more than ever just recently, if you saw how…

Fan Reaction to Gilas Filipinas loss shows Utter Immaturity, ruins Filipino Image

Dawn of long-overdue population control in the Philippines as Congress passes HB 4244

Make no mistake, the passing in Congress today of House Bill 4244 also known as the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill is foremost a triumph for long-overdue population control in the Philippines. The country’s enormous population and its continued unabated growth has long been considered the single biggest roadblock to prosperity in this impoverished nation. Indeed,…
