Ok, this is the situation, we have won. As long as Hamas only option is to use hostages to make deals, and not do any kind of real action. Then we have, by all kinds of meters, won. What we are looking at, is, essentially the sweep up of the last forces in Gaza. How […]

One of the issues, that I have been prodded to try to take an angle on, is the EU. What are we going to do, with that construct, and how are we going to make it work. To be honest, I have not really been a great fan of the EU, but we can make […]

Mr. Henry Kissinger has just passed away, at a high age. The Holocaust survivor. The generation, that saw things through the lens of the second world war. What are the new things, that are beginning to emerge from that post naziwar? Well, not much, to be honest. It is, essentially the same mechanism that are […]

Elon, we have been acquaintances for some time. You have read my ideas here at rubicon, in fact, you have probably been a bit inspired, here and there, I hope. So, this is my candid advise to you. SHUT UP! You are ruining your own life by letting yourself be guided by your own anger. […]

Ok, we are winning. I know, that the ceasefire is pretty devastating to morale. But there are a number of elements we have to take into consideration, when we do our strategy. What happens on the ground, is a complex maneuver, that reflects the media situation, that that again reflects the political, international game. It […]

This is a heads up to the brave soldiers of the IDF. What you are doing, is thoroughly positive and constructive. Saving lives, doing things, as they should be done. Wars like this, are very difficult to do, because the terrain is so full of booby traps, guerilla warfare, threats everywhere. But due to the […]

Well, we are now more or less in the middle of the campaign in Gaza. It is going ok, but the international pressure is mounting. There is the proposal for an exchange of hostages. To me, this is a no brainer. The main objective of the war, was to get the hostages out of Gaza, […]

Well, we are now in the second or third week into the offensive of Gaza. It is working, some hostages are found, some are released, but at the larger picture, there are still a lot of problems ahead of us. I am trying to counter some of the problems we have, by initiating dialogue here […]

This is a message to Elon Musk, who is a reader here on the blog, I think. First of all Elon, you tried to help, when I was in trouble, so this is me helping back. When you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot, and hold on to it. That is […]

Ok, so these are my reflections concerning the current situation in terms of strategy. How are we supposed to fight? It is quite clear, it says in the Torah, that we are supposed to fight as David against Goliath. Why? Well, that is the question we are supposed to ponder. First of all, this reflects […]

Ok, it seems to me, that I, with a bit of luck, a great support from many friends, in Denmark, and around the world, I have survived this onslaught on my person by the secret service. My life has come to a balance of sorts, and actually the secret service of the police has had […]

Ok,so, to understand the strategic situation in the Middle East, we need to truly understand the ethnic make up of the area. Hamas is not just an Islamic Organization that makes war on Israel, it is a group that is affiliated with the different ethnic groups of the Middle East. The Middle East is ancient […]

Well, we can now have focus on something else than the conflict in the Middle East. The conflict is progressing, slowly but, to the extent it is possible, humanely. Ok, it is a war, so people die, that is the way war work, but refraining from killing civilians and trying to keep the general populace […]

Ok, so these are the final stages of the war against Hamas. First of all, we need to think about the possible outcome of the war. What is it, that we wish to accomplish? It should be pretty straightforward. We want to make a lasting peace with the Palestinians, and also the rest of the […]

Well, things are not looking good. First of all, the war is getting closer, it is already here, to some extent. Essentially the invasion of Gaza, the bombing of Syria by the US, is an escalation of dimensions yet not seen in the Middle East since the six day war. But, the good development is, […]
