military & geopolitical analysts ~ war or no war?

hello dear friends, i dont know where the (ultimate) truth is, but lets show ya which analysts & consultants i follow for military and global politics issues from time to time. of course, all of them are far away from western mainstream media (MSM) 😁... and yes, pls dont interpret the following list as any kind of ranking, will you?

so sad, so true 😓

  • retired u.s. army officer douglas mcgregor (between 0:44 and 03:48 there is some analysis from the youtube channel OMT ... of course, you can also skip the first 3:48 minutes 🕚and start directly with douglas mcgregor, who is interviewed by judge napolitano, if i recognize his voice correctly

douglas mcgregor #1
douglas mcgregor #2

  • retired u.s. army officer and former nuclear weapons inspector scott ritter on russia vs. ukraine and of course abt geopolitics / trump / israel / palestine / NATO / ... dont be scared if he uses some direct dirty words, are you?
collapse of NATO aka withdrawal of USA under the trump administration?
consequences for poland / germany / europe / ukraine / russia ...

  • american economist, brilliant public policy analyst and speaker, professor at columbia university jeffrey sachs on middle east + ukraine 
#1 on ukraine / russia / EU / u.s. foreign policy ~ february 23th, 2025. (h. kissinger's
quote: for the EU+ukraine: to be an enemy of usa is dangerous. to be a friend is fatal.)
#2 on palestine / israel ~ approx february, 14th, 2025

  • john maersheimer ~ american political scientist and international relations scholar, professor at the university of chicago


  • retired u.s. army officer wesley clark ~ well, i dont follow him anymore, but i cant forget his leak / information from october, 3rd, 2007 after 09/11 (2001). it was already after the usa attacked afghanistan: we (usa) are going to attack and destroy 7 countries in 5 years [iraq 2003, syria 2011, lebanon (repeatedly), libya 2011, somalia (2006 by u.s. proxy ethiopia), sudan (divided into sudan and south sudan) + iran (2026)]. heaven & hell, it took longer than 5 years and iran is still missing yet ... but it is unbelievable which people took control over the usa, isnt it? lets hope with trump + vance starting in 2025 becomes america a more peaceful state 🍀


 2025-02-21
2025-02-21 => 69% of the doneck republic and 99% of the lugansk republic
are already taken (the russians call it 'liberated') by the russian army

  • vladimir putin => when russia, then putin, isnt it? 
putin abt the hate of current EU & western europe leaders for donald trump

  • dr. daniele ganser (we are one 'mankind family' ~ menscheitsfamilie). yes, there are german voices too. the 1st one is the swiss historician & lecturer & publicist & especially peace activist dr. daniele ganser. i've already met him personally in the peace camp 'stop ramstein 2024' against the u.s. air base in ramstein, southwest germany. if you have interest in deep analysis for some geopolitical issues (NATO, u.s. empire, 9/11, syria, turkey, ukraine ...) do not hesitate to listen to his usually 2h long lectures on youtube or elsewhere. i'm pretty sure you will not regret the time invested ...
dr. ganiele in 5 minutes abt some reasons for the war in syria (recorded in 2016)

  • the cabaretist monika gruber from munich (here an interview with marc friedrich)
Feb 22, 2025 #MonikaGruber #Kabarett #Meinungsfreiheit🔥 
GENIAL! Endlich spricht Monika Gruber es aus! 💥🎤

  • the cabaretist, actress and singer lisa fitz from munich
#1 (Lisa Fitz: Die Bevölkerung hat ein Recht auf Wahrheit)
#2 (Lisa Fitz: Ich sehe was, was Du nicht siehst.) ~ lyrics similar to bob marley's
get up, stand up, stand up for your rights. but the message is much deeper

  • last but not least, a message and a song from the songwriter and peace activist, reinhard mey ~ sei wachsam (watch out) ... again similar to bob marley'sget up,stand up with a huge message 💖

=> any conclusion out there? yes. LET'S STOP WARS 😇

oberammergau, bavarian alps, BY

what a nice weekend with our eldest daughter + our small 2 years old grandson in the village oberammergau. we have been in the nature park ammergauer alpen in the bavarian alps. we've stayed in the parkhotel sonnenhof, which is just 1 river (ammer) and 1 bridge away from the city / village centre ... and it has a quite nice spa center with a swimming pool, enough parking places and a little bit heavy-handed but mostly really, really friendly staff 😍. just the elderly lady from the reception should attend a course 'how do i react to customers nicely', if you asked me ... unlike many others in the restaurant, she speaks at least german, so she can tell ya all stuff needed for your stay. just one thing here was behind the capabilities of my imagination. why the hell do they call their house 'parkhotel'? have you seen a park here? or at least 3 or 4 trees out there? me not ...

btw, the biggest event for our grandson was the cable car from nearby bad kohlgrub to the hörnle hill 1548m, you know?

hills + hills + hills ... bavaria is beautiful, you know? 💖🌋⛄🌞
