I'm thinking 🤔 of saying goodbye writing ✍🏼 on the blogs ...

Am 80 going on 81 ...
enough is enough ..  passing the torch to a new generation .. I'll try to keep it brief ... too much grief and human suffering ...

It has been very inspirational and well-being to keep sanity in a world 🌎 of turmoil ... I have been in survival mode for 65 years now ... roof of my house 🏡 needs repairs 😉 ... it's cold 🥶 inside w need for green sustainability ... rising energy prices going through the roof ..  lots to keep me busy ...

Saying goodbye 👋 after 22 years of blogging in a welcoming community ... thank you 🙏🏼

Spend 35 years as volunteer for teenage youth in The Hague ... quite satisfying and was able to make a difference for many 😊 too many honors  😅

Was a war refugee with a green card after the devastations by Nazi Germany in WWII and occupation of the Netherlands '40-'45

Decided to return to a tranquil Europe in late sixties as a refugee fleeing a nation in fear and gun violence with no empathy for the less fortunate fellow citizens ... civics and religious lessons build on my caring parents ... my mom taught me love 💕 and protection for children ... my dad was tough and a global traveler interested in world 🌍 politics ...

Greatly appreciated all who kept this blog alive and running ... passing the torch to a new generation involved in building a new world suitable for young people with NEW HOPE ... so much to do 💪 God's speed to all.

I suppose J. my closing words have been written down now ... 🐝

U.S.-Iran - A War Of Aggressions Which Aims Can Not Be Achieved

Yesterday the Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi, the mediator in talks between the U.S. and Iran, revealed that Iran had offered unprecedented restrictions of its nuclear program to prevent a war.

During a CBS News interview he explained:

    MINISTER ALBUSAIDI: I am confident, and in my assessment of the way the talks are going, I think there is, really I can see that the peace deal is within our reach.

    MARGARET BRENNAN: A peace deal?

    MINISTER ALBUSAIDI: Yes, is within our reach, if we just allow diplomacy the space it needs to get there. Because I don't think any alternative to diplomacy is going to solve this problem.
     ...
    MINISTER ALBUSAIDI: The single most important achievement, I believe, is the agreement that Iran will never, ever have a nuclear material that will create a bomb. This is, I think, a big achievement. This is something that is not in the old deal that was negotiated during President Obama's time. This is something completely new. It really makes the enrichment argument less relevant, because now we are talking about zero stockpiling. And that is very, very important, because if you cannot stockpile material that is enriched then there is no way you can actually create a bomb, whether you enrich or don't enrich. And I think this is really something that has been missed a lot by the media, and I want to clarify that from the standpoint of a mediator.

    MARGARET BRENNAN: So explain that. So the enriched material, things that could be used as nuclear fuel for a bomb, you're saying Iran would not keep on their own soil?

    MINISTER ALBUSAIDI: They would give it up.

To give up stockpiling enriched material of various grades is a concession that Iran has never before made. It would indeed make it impossible for it to create a nuclear bomb.

MAGA Diplomacy Out the Window, Escalation to War!

by Oui Fri Feb 27th, 2026 at 06:00:10 PM EST

Culmination of decades of war on "terror," coup d'états, undermining elections and democracy itself, horror of wars a permanent stance of the Old Colonial Western World.

Read past articles in the EuroTrib archives ... excellent tools for search on key words.

MAGA Leader in the White House, a coward running on personal vengeance with the world's most powerful military appropriately reverted to Ministry of WAR ... are you dreaming Europeans ... exploited the former Soviet satellite states to rewrite the preamble of Europe from Peace to Permanent war. Damn ugly stuff.

Axis of Evil :: London - Tel Aviv - New York | 12 Jan. 2026 |

    Dozens of US military planes head to Middle East, Iran boosts air defence | Kanal 13 - 11 Jan. 2026 |

Open source intelligence (OSINT) sources have reported a major redeployment of U.S. Air Force aircraft toward the Middle East, the Israeli outlet NEWSru writes.

According to flight tracking services and military observers, in recent hours, dozens of U.S. air refuelling tankers and heavy transport aircraft (C-5 and C-17) have departed from bases in the U.S. and from a U.S. airbase in the United Kingdom, heading east -- presumably toward Middle Eastern deployment points.

The aircraft involved include KC-135 Stratotankers and KC-46A Pegasus tankers, as well as C-17 Globemaster III and C-5M Galaxy transporters, which are typically used in such operations to move personnel, equipment, and special units.

No official comments have been issued by the US Department of War.

Amid these developments, Iranian sources report heightened readiness of air defence systems. On January 4, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) conducted air defence and missile exercises in several cities, including Tehran, deploying radar stations and surface-to-air missile units, which is seen as preparation for a potential escalation.

Further investigation tied the case directly to André van Wiggen, who served as deputy head of mission in Tehran from August 2019 to August 2022, then as Head of Political Affairs at the Dutch Embassy in Washington for two and a half years before returning to his post in Tehran. His name also appears in WikiLeaks documents, describing him as someone who could assist U.S. officials in gathering intelligence on Iranian companies and overseas operations.

Quantum internet: Chinese physicists build 'the very best you can achieve right now'

Chinese researchers have come one step closer to a future quantum internet, a futuristic network that will allow users to exchange unhackable information, conduct high-frequency trading, and make data centers more efficient. "The first applications are getting closer and closer."

100 kilometers, roughly the distance from Leiden to Den Helder: that is the distance over which Chinese physicists have established and used a stable quantum connection. They recently reported this in the journal Science.

BIG SUCKERS

by Oui Sun Feb 22nd, 2026 at 09:26:26 AM EST

Joe Biden 2014-2022

"Europe faces a threat to its cohesion. But this time it's on the eastern front, not the western"

A lot to consume in this strong editorial, it's the underlying decade long development of the Eastern Bloc that has caused the erosion of Western - or Old Europe's principles of the Common Market of the Six. I do put much of the blame in the aggression of NATO to move its frontier eastward and with the Afghan War at the behest of the United States, into a global expeditionary force for regime change wherever. The main culprits are the U.S. under Clinton - Bush - Obama and the U.K. regimes of Tony Blair - Gordon Brown - David Cameron.

The British financial centrum of London is one of the foremost homes of Russian oligarchs to stash their wealth and use their propaganda to overthrow their nemesis, Putin, in the Kremlin.

I wasn't fooled by the U.S. intent of the proxy war on Russia - February 2022.

After the humiliating defeat by the Taliban after Twenty Years of war to get a foothold in Central Asia ... the back door to threaten the Republic of China and influence on the wealth of the Caspian Sea region.

Not another humiliating period post Vietnam War and defeat at the hands of North Vietnam's Viet Cong. Lessons learned by the elites in Washington D.C.

Big Tech is on our side of the Military Industrial Complex... waging a global war for expansion and colonization.

The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that many of President Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs were illegal, dealing a blow to a core part of his economic agenda.

The court ruled in a 6-3 opinion that tariffs passed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act would be "a transformative expansion of the President's authority over tariff policy" against the explicit restrictions laid out by Congress in bills..

The Worst Crime In Humanity .. Genocide

by Oui Thu Feb 19th, 2026 at 08:06:32 PM EST

Dehumanization as a foreboding of genocidal acts ... the common denominator is teaching every generation to HATE. Denial of humanity through hasbara.

A comment ...

Marilyn Shepherd says:

25 years ago a young Aussie journalist helped a Palestinian refugee trapped on a New Guinea island alone and going mad, I helped him get the man off the island and to Australia. At the same time two Palestinian refugees argues in the high court that indefinite detention of them was illegal because they were stateless refugees - the high court ruled against them 4-3, 20 years later the same court with different judges deemed their own ruling was wrong.

That young journalist wrote a book My Israel with a list of authors in the back - Tom Segev, Akiva Eldar, Ilan Pappe, Gideon Levy, Gershon Gorenberg, Uri Avnery and others and I started reading them all, moved on to Shlomo Sand and Avi Shlaim and realised Israel is a myth and as my veteran Grandpa told me the country he was based in for WW11 was Palestine and the Jewish terrorists were the most vicious people he had ever seen.

How on earth people can believe their own myths and racist exceptionalism if beyond me - or would be if I wasn't an old white woman who grew up in an Aboriginal land and was never taught one word of their existence till I was 33 years old.

I am so thankful for Richard as another author with truths to tell while Israeli holocaust scholars write the genocide reports and the more reports and orders against Israel the more deranged they get and the more sadistic.
