Why do Democracies not fight Wars against each other?
Democratic Peace Theory at Work It is stunning! Democracies really don't fight wars against each other. Sure, you find some examples where countries are labeled "democracies" and get engaged in war. Still, we speak of fully-fledged democracies, "Western-style," such as Canada, France, Japan, or Australia. And here, indeed, you don't find examples. Why is that? Are democratic countries more peaceful in general? Well, this idea is another subbranch of what is called the Democratic Peace Theory. I will focus only on why they do not fight wars against each other. Autocracies are another issue.

I woke up yesterday to the heartbreaking news that the United States and United Kingdom had been stepping up their efforts to foment the outbreak of World War III by mercilessly bombing targets in Iraq and Syria. The weather outside sounded frightful and in Cardiff later in the day Wales’ Six Nations campaign would kick off against Scotland at the Principality Stadium.

You know how it is sometimes, when you wake up from a dream and there’s this earworm wiggling around in your brain? Well, since last Saturday’s humanitarian crusade in Cardiff in solidarity with the people of Gaza suffering mercilessly at the hands of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), I’ve had a slightly modified snippet of music from Pink Floyd’s 1979 concept album The Wall ringing in my head.

Since the first Cardiff humanitarian crusade in solidarity with Palestine in 2024 took place at the start of the year I’ve found it difficult to write about those that have followed due to sheer frustration that the genocide is still ongoing, now into its 114th day, and because my former employer MediaWales and its Wales On Sunday publication continue to totally ignore the marches against it, something that would have been unthinkable during my 30 years as a journalist.

With just two more days to follow in January, almost a twelfth of 2024 has already passed… but, after 114 days of continuous bombing, Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza shows no sign of abating, despite last Friday’s United Nations International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in Jerusalem has just one month to convince the judges its actions in Gaza do not amount to genocide.

October 7th (Lima, Peru) — In a joint press release, the United States Supervisors of Foreign Relations and Safety and Security announced a nearly $250 million sale of military-grade weapons and equipment to Peru to be used as part of the country's ongoing war effort with ModRE in Ecuador. This action takes place despite growing domestic and international criticism about how Peru has been conducting their retaliatory mission after ModRE paramilitary forces undertook a surprise storm attack across the border that resulted in the systematic slaughter, rape, and defilement of thousands of unprepared Peruvians and surrounding property. Hundreds of mostly civilians were also taken captive and are still being held within Ecuadorian territory.
Chatham House spin class aims to keep war machine on course
After three months of a relentless ethnic-cleansing campaign and the biggest load of nonsense ever spoken at a United Nations' International Court of Justice hearing there’s just one question you need to ask yourself: “How would Israel have gone about trying to defend its genocide in Gaza at the ICJ hearing in The Hague last week had it not been for the preposterous false-flag incursion it staged across the most closely-monitored border on the planet on 7 October last year.”

Tomorrow marks the second Saturday of 2024 and after three months of incessant bombing the likes of Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer are still yet to show any sign of a conscience or hint of remorse as they continue to condone Israel’s campaign of genocidal ethnic-cleansing in Gaza and just last night a coalition force involving United Kingdom and United States gunships saw fit to escalate the situation by attacking sites in Yemen, claimed to be Houthi military targets.

Economic governance in the 21st century A global problem waiting to be solved. While this is a worldwide concern, it is a good example to take the exposure of the financial mess, the socialist devolved government of Scotland, is in. (December 2023) This raises genuine concerns about socialist economics. The usual cry of tax the rich is just politics of envy. If anyone doubt the economic advantages of a mixed economy, they should ask themselves why all the economic migrants come to nations with mixed economies, they do not flood Russia in their millions, they leave Venezuela and try to get to USA. Socialist economic do not work in the real world. The SNP in Scotland claim they want total and complete independence from the rest of Britain, they suggest they will have a vibrant and wonderful economy full of advantages for the Scottish people. Recent revelations show that even with huge subsidies from British taxpayers, they still cannot manage their state-run services properly. They have resorted to the usual complaints that they are not given enough of British taxpayer’s money. If they have independence, they will have Zero money from English tax income. Do they expect the EU will welcome them and provide all the money they need? Do they honestly think French and German taxpayers are going to agree to this?
