Divide and Prosper – the evil genius of the UAE
Without understanding the astonishing network of power exercised by the United Arab Emirates you would have no idea why the UAE was hit particularly hard by Iran in recent weeks. Nor would you know what fuels chaos from Libya to Sudan to Somalia to Yemen.…

The Iranian Imbecile crisis
Who can remember the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Probably not many of us. I was aged 1 at the time and had no idea what was happening although I am told that my father came home early from work that day convinced that World…

National’s incredulous plan for challenging times
It would be tilting at windmills to criticise National’s election campaign in 2026 for the simple fact that it’s not in existence yet. Except it is, at least its bulletised framework, and that’s all we can and should expect from National. In typical National style,…

Towards an independent Foreign Policy
If you did not catch the recent interview of Vanushi Walters on Q&A can I urge you to watch it? Her presentation of some pretty complex International Relations nuances I thought was outstanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTQxUQpTOWU The first three comments on Youtube summarised the interview well. "Weird…

Missing in action
Throughout the world responsible Governments are preparing for the worst. Their pessimism is justified. Donald Trump has taken to try and resolve the war by insulting Iran by 5 am truths. His latest truth is to warn them to “[o]pen the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy…

Pawn takes Bishop
Spare a thought for Chris Bishop. He was in my view the potential future National leader we should fear the most. He had managed to win the Hutt seat twice. Given that it should be heartland Labour that was no mean feat. He was also…

What If Trump Is Right?
"All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some…

In a crisis the left does better
The oil crisis is entering an interesting stage. It seems inevitable that the country will enter into a fuel crunch in about three weeks time as the ripple effect of the Iranian war fans out. We are currently still receiving tankers that were launched some…

A change of government this close or this far away…
https://twitter.com/120Aotearoa/status/2038859867981832357 Some reasons to feel better. Labour/Green/Te Pāti Māori are on 60 seats, which means not too far off being able to govern and do so without Peters. This would be a very good result. Yet half National's seats are going to Act and NZF.…

“The future of everything is in New Zealand-made energy”
It's not often that I watch a news interview and sit there going: yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. This 12 minute interview by Jack Tame, with ReWiring Aotearoa CEO Mike Casey, is superb (video below). It's exactly the kind of thinking we need, to present…

The oil crisis: what we should be doing now
My basic position at the moment is a kind of contortion of trust in god and tie up your camel. We might get lucky and the worst that happens is the US/Israeli war against Iran ends but we have to tighten our belts this year…
