“The whole world lieth in wickedness” — the Apostle John wrote almost 2,000 years ago. All these years, the best minds of mankind: priests, scientists, doctors, cultural and art workers, public figures and politicians have been trying to do their best to prevent evil from spreading uncontrollably. Man has achieved a lot: he split the […]

Pyongyang’s nuclear capability is increasing, but international capacity or interest in dealing with them is limited. The details vary, but the picture is immediately recognizable: a salvo of missiles followed by chilling new rhetoric.

Japan’s participation in World War II is still not well understood. Perhaps because the pre-war policy of the Land of the Rising Sun was distinguished by complex turns and inconsistencies.

After World War II, Japan imported all kinds of ideas from America. One of them was that “a bread diet is better for health.” At that time, it was widely advertised that eating rice makes people stupid. Here is what the Japanese scholars then claimed, supported even by the Japanese government: “The nature of those […]

For 20 years, Australia had existed comfortably in a fog of delusion. Successive governments and most Australians convinced themselves that the emerging world order was one in which they could do pretty well. Our great and powerful friend the United States would provide strategic defence, just as it had since World War II. America was […]

Among other things, the case of Gen. Michael Flynn reminds us of the old adage that things are always worse than you think. Right from the beginning of the attempted coup some of us took to calling ‘the Russian Collusion Delusion’, it was clear that the hounding of President Trump and various aides and supporters […]
