Trump the president

( One minute read)

What is coming next, does anyone know other than he is stirring up a hornet’s nest and he is most likely to get stung in places you have not thought of.

There’s an intriguing duality at play here—the beauty and danger coexisting side by side.

However in treating countries leaders with contempt he is opening up a Pandora’s box of both fear and respect.

In terms of dependency on the United States it is becoming clear that Trump greed is not the only issue it’s hide behind other issues so you can get in and take for yourselves, hence the Venezualian Oil along with Canadian, Greenland and Ukraine minerals.

These are the real reasons for Trump’s underhanded moves!

Compliance will not buy safety in this world of power bulls like Trump. His deals are not treaties, and are not worth the paper they are written on.

Get on with your own issues America and leave everyone else alone.

Enough is enough.

Certainly no single question could turn aside the self-destructive impulses of the segment of our population that currently threatens to snuff us all out.

All we rational, reasonable people can do is continue to ask those who support the power-mad among us – Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, et cetera – to open their eyes and stop them.

It’s clear that an annexation or purchase of Greenland would not strengthen the security of the U.S. and NATO, but would instead considerably weaken it.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FROM LIFE?

Life, The Future of Mankind

( Three minute read)

None of us asked to be born so life owes you nothing. 

You are born in one place at one specific time, however its value depends a lot on luck.

Where, you are born, When you are born.

From a biological stand point it is to procreate and pass on genes, but since we are capable of abstract though, things get complicated and a bit messy.

So life is a challenge.

Your brain is trying to understand itself using itself.

It’s absurd, isn’t it?

Life is designed to have experiences, and these can only be had by living it not by watching TV or glued to a smartphone.

You spend around one third sleeping and it’s not until the last third that we begin to know what we want out of life.

TV was designed to be a pacifier for adults to keep them complacent while brainwashing them with advertising.

Smart phones are also a similar tool.

Saturated with algorithms promoting on social media what ever they are designed to achieve.

The world as we know it makes living life and dying a product rather than value to be cherished.

As governments step up in areas like housing, energy transition, digital infrastructure and industrial policy, the ability to execute is becoming the real differentiator.

Most governments don’t lack ambition. They lack delivery infrastructure.

The result?

Reform fatigue, cynicism, and missed opportunities.

The gap between ambition and action is why living and dying costs an arm and a leg.

There is no need for the theatre of endless meetings to release that the earth we all exist on has finet resources and there is a need for conscious, capable and deliberate delivery of these resources.

Big reforms are announced, bold targets are set — and then delivery stalls. Implementation lack attention, ideas get watered down and momentum is lost. The intent was sound, but outcomes don’t follow.

Life is for giving not taking.

Stop taking things for granted and learn to appreciate the little things in life, because you don’t know when things can change.

If you want a life that rewards you travel. It opens the mind and gives you memories.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS. WHY ARE WE FASCINATED BY VIOLENCE ?

( Seven Minute read)

We all have different personalities, mental models, emotions, needs, wants, goals, values and beliefs, which shaped who we are and partially determined what we do.

It begs the question: what kind of mind wants to witness violence – adrenaline junkies.

What does it say about us—individually, culturally, psychologically—that cruelty has become entertainment, and aggression has become identity?

The attraction to violence doesn’t come out of nowhere.

We don’t crave violence because we’re cruel—we crave it because we’re human.

Because it gives structure to chaos, power to the powerless, and a feeling—any feeling—when we’ve gone emotionally numb.

Why do we settle in for an evening with movies drenched in bloodshed?

Human beings are not simply passive consumers of story; we are meaning-makers wired for survival.

In a sense, violent media allows the viewer to outsource their primal fears to someone else’s narrative.

We get to watch someone else survive—or perish—while we stay in control of our environment.

But the way that violence is packaged, consumed, and even glorified is not the same across cultures.

When we examine global media patterns, American media differs from other societies when it comes to glamorizing aggression.

American media, in particular, has made violence synonymous with excitement, justice, and even virtue.

And the internet has made the distribution of violence easy. With a few clicks, anyone can access footage that would have once been buried or censored.

Social media is saturated with violence in all its forms and it is influenced us to the extent that we are risking becoming spectators in our own lives—watching pain like a plot point, framing suffering as something that needs to be “dealt with,” rather than witnessed.

And slowly, almost imperceptibly, we lose touch with our own moral compass.

It’s not just about the moment—it’s about the culture we’ve absorbed. We’ve been taught that dominance is clarity. That loudness is leadership. That the one who controls the room controls the truth.

But this isn’t emotional strength—it’s emotional fragility dressed as certainty.

And it’s costing us more than we think.

It is possible to choose curiosity over compulsion, presence over passivity, humanity over brutality.

However it will never feel as easy. It won’t give you the instant gratification of a fight scene. It won’t resolve in 90 minutes. It takes more from you—but it gives more in return.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked a frenzy well beyond the technology sector.

For example: The gaming world is saturated with violence.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS : MOST OF US ARE IN DENIAL OF WHAT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS DOING TO THE WORLD.

( Six minute read)

Today’s technological era would astonish past generations.  Unlike the past when the march of history was at a stately pace it is now not constant — it is rapidly accelerating.

Everything around us seems to be changing at breakneck speed. Twenty years ago, smartphones were niche products.

The emerging power and associated risks of AI doesn’t just exist in their training datasets.

From fraud detection and customer service to cyber security analytics and risk scoring, AI algorithms are now influence outcomes across the face of the globe.

It’s not surprising that the public is developing a false sense of security that superintelligence is not an urgent risk to society. 

Like it or not, there is increasing evidence that frontier AI systems do not just store text patterns as statistical correlations, but also build structured internal representations (i.e., “world models”) that abstract the concepts described in the ingested content.

AI systems can solve problems that do not exist in their training datasets, thereby demonstrating out-of-distribution reasoning.

In addition, today’s large models can solve problems presented in formats other than text descriptions. 

I say all of this as someone who believes society should-not be racing to build superintelligent systems.

I believe that AI systems will become smarter and faster than individual humans by a wide margin, but that does not guarantee that the systems will represent human interests, morals, or sensibilities when solving problems.

Knowing humans might be good but that is not the same as being human.

In the age of polarization Artificial Intelligence through Social Media is amplifying societal polarization.,

AI could create destabilizing shifts in the balance of power or negatively influence human strategic judgment in ways that fuel misperceptions it will cause wars.

As extremist groups and state actors weaponize social media, the rise of AI threatens to amplify these risks at a scale that was previously unimaginable.

AI can make war faster, more brutal, and far more impersonal.

The potential for AI misidentifying targets, being hacked, or malfunctioning is immense not to mention that it is more or less unaccountable.

This is the most urgent problem – to create some way of making AI and its algorithms ACCOUNTABILITY. As with all powerful technologies, advanced AI must be handled with great responsibility to manage the risks and harness its potential.

People could intentionally harness powerful AIs to cause widespread harm.

The list of harmful possibilities.,

1) AI could be used to engineer new pandemics or for propaganda, censorship, and surveillance, or released to autonomously pursue harmful goals.

2) Competition could push nations and corporations to rush AI development, relinquishing control to these systems. Conflicts could spiral out of control with autonomous weapons and AI-enabled cyberwarfare.

3). There are risks that organizations developing advanced AI cause catastrophic accidents, particularly if they prioritize profits over safety. AIs could be accidentally leaked to the public or stolen by malicious actors, and organizations could fail to properly invest in safety research. 

4). AIs could optimize flawed objectives, drift from their original goals, become power-seeking, resist shutdown, and engage in deception, catapulting humanity into a new period of unprecedented change.

The rapid and unpredictable progression of AI capabilities suggests that they may soon rival the immense power of nuclear weapons.

With the clock ticking, immediate, proactive measures are needed to mitigate these looming risks.

Infinite growth on a finite planet is probably the biggest lie.

If anyone thinks that this transition is not going to be easy or smooth they better open their eyes as there is no focus on safety.

In the next three to ten years this transition is going to happen.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS. HOW DO YOU PUT A MONETARY VALUE ON A COUNTRY.

( SIX MINUTE READ)

It’s absurd to think that anyone could set a monetary value on any country.

It’s not possible as there are so many variables.

You can’t draw up an inventory. To measure what matters is impossible.

There is no Market for buying or selling countries.

Even if the Donald Trumps of this world think of they can make an offer that cannot be refused under the threat of invasion any change to a country without consent of it’s population remains an act of war/invasion.

However will countries ever start counting what really makes them tick other than GDP.

It’s the people that count and how well their governments look after them whether it’s education, health, etc.

Take Norway for example.

Because they are a homogenous, small population, and because they are rich from having large oil resources.

From pristine natural beauty and a strong commitment to work-life balance to robust social support systems and low corruption levels, Norway’s recipe for happiness has become a model for many.

Money solves a lot of problems and having everyone share similar values and culture avoids conflict.,

To add to this; they have a lot of control over their government and what their taxes are spent on. 

Monetary value is the value of something measured in currency.

Almost everything relevant to a modern economy can be measured by its monetary value.

The price, or monetary value, of something is determined in the marketplace and is based upon the law of supply and demand

BUT THIS DOES NOT WORK WHEN IT COMES TO TRYING TO BUY A COUNTRY.

Monetary items are assets or liabilities with a fixed value. 

Is it the GDP, the population, the minerals, the size, the environment, the history, they have no fix value.

The key with monetary items is that their dollar value does not fluctuate.

However the purchasing power can change, such as with inflation.

Monetary items don’t gain value in the market and cannot go obsolete. Therefore a non monetary item is subject to a change in value and cannot be quickly converted to cash.

We have entered the age of open thuggery, as the brutality Israel tested on Palestinians is now being normalised elsewhere.

Over more than two years, international law has been rendered meaningless, trampled alongside the bodies of children, doctors, journalists and patients bombed in their homes and hospitals.

We either defend the legal principles designed to prevent war, or watch the international system collapse under the weight of unchecked power politics. 

Intervention is no longer cloaked in euphemism or filtered through institutions. It is declared, personalised, theatrical and unapologetic. 

Up to now 19th-century empires cloaked conquest in the language of civilisation and progress.

Trump seeks no such legitimacy. Domination is justified by power alone.

International law is being dismantled plank by plank, body by body.

Those who now lament its demise are the same actors who engineered its destruction.

This is the age of open thuggery.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS: HOW MUCH LONGER IS THE WORLD GOING TO TOLERATE THE PLUNDERING OF USA?

( Ten minute read)

I suppose like many I never thought that in my lifetime I would be writing this about America.

One would wonder how a country which not too long ago that was inhabited by a populated of natives living in teepees now viewed as a nation of predators.

US power is turning predatory and as a result the coming year 2026 is going to be a year of the worst kind of consequence (that we all need like a hole in the head).

A tipping point in more ways than climate change.

The biggest source of global instability won’t be China, Russia, Iran, or any of the 60-odd conflicts burning across the planet (the most since World War II). It will be the United States.

What does it say that the US President doesn’t even feel he needs to hide his most profane and radical views anymore?

There’s no Trump Doctrine.

Trump’s foreign policy doesn’t run on traditional axes like allies versus adversaries, democracies versus autocracies, or strategic competition versus cooperation.

Trump is using military pressure, economic coercion, and personal score-settling to bend the world to his will. And he’s just getting started.

He wants to write his name on in big gold letters. What we are dealing with here is not grand strategy, but the law of the jungle.

———————-

America is unilaterally exercising power wherever Trump thinks he can get away with it, uncoupled from the norms, bureaucratic processes, alliance structures, and multilateral institutions that once gave US leadership legitimacy.

Taking stock of how American norms, ideals, and values have been transformed by Trump it is going to require a damage assessment of tumultuous proportions and efforts to rectify.

A fucking idiot.

It’s far too early to be assisting the political implications he is causing.

Donald Trump claims the United States now “runs” Venezuela —and the world’s largest polluters are cashing in.

Openly demanding that Venezuela hand over its oil and “land” to the United States in an act of colonial plunder.

The US is being run as a rogue state by thugs.

This is what an empire looks like in real time.

The martial rhetoric against fellow-Americans is a striking contrast with his push for an end to hostilities and on the other hand risk the collapse of NATO.

The chilling vision of turning American military power inward should be enough evidence that Americans need to examine what is happening.

Fossil and finance capital have cohered around the ‘Donroe’ Doctrine.

In the days following Trump’s invasion of Venezuela, oil giants saw their valuations soar — a windfall worth tens of billions of dollars.

The United States is rapidly expanding its assault across the Americas — threatening Venezuela today, Mexico tomorrow, and any nation that dares to defend its sovereignty.

Their drive for hemispheric domination must be stopped. 

Its aim is clear: recolonise the hemisphere and extinguish every political project that puts people before profit.

While the Trump administration aims to recolonise the hemisphere, we must start building a unified front to challenge US aggression.

If it wasn’t clear already, the threats against Greenland show that Europe is also in his sights.

I am sure he wanted like many countries to have a Sovereign Wealth Fund however the US has found another way of raising money — namely, strongarming key allies into handing over money in exchange for lower tariffs.

In effect, the Trump administration seems determined to use taxes paid not by its own citizens, but by the citizens of its allies, to rebuild its own industry, and furthermore to manage those funds however it pleases.

I currently feel sorry for his geriatric decline but bewildered that so many Americans were willing to hand him the keys to the kingdom.

Mainstream media is just about devoid of any indication of collective remorse over any of it.

It is becoming rather clear in the USA that it is time to own a gun but using it like in the movie is and should be taboo.

Trump is willing to kill Americans, let alone immigrants, and foreigners.

It’s time that the United Nations dumped the veto and put the liberty of people from the tyranny of foreign control as a genuine resolution.

The bed rock of principles is under attack, we have in our power to change direction.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS WARS USE TO BE MAN AGAINST MAN, NO LONGER. WAR IS NOW DRONE AGAINST DRONE.

The Future of Mankind, Visions of the future., War

Europe’s defense landscape—and its future thanks to the Russia/ Ukraine war is for all intent purposes, even with the NATO alliance is more or less worthless.

A five thousand euros drone can obliterate a fifty thousand tank costing ten times the amount of the drone.

Self-reliance has become the defining narrative for Ukraine’s sprouting defense industry.

New Ukrainian drones, once locked on a target, can use A.I. to chase and strike it.

The smaller the drone the more likely it will not be detected.

The amount of drones being manufactured in the Ukraine is mind boggling but China has emerged as a dominant drone power with major breakthroughs in hybrid and fixed-wing drones. …

The use of drones has changed the character of warfare with the zone in which ground forces are vulnerable to lethal attack extending to between

I honestly think large scale multi-nation total warfare may be a thing of the past. 

Non-violent warfare could also become quite common; attacks on electricity and utilities, hacking into government internet spaces and god forbid contaminations wars.

Hybrid warfare is constantly occuring, just no one has carried it over to the physical world, yet.

However if British troops & French are deployed on the ground in the Ukraine Russia drones will undoubtedly kill one of them. This will undoubtedly lead to the spread of the war over the Ukraine borders with Iran is on the threshold of a revolutionary war the future for wars is bright.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS. WE HAVE SURROUND THE EARTH WITH SATELLITES. HERE TO DAY GONE TO MORROW.

( Six minute read)

It’s quite difficult to determine the exact number orbiting the Earth on a particular day, 14000 to 15000.

There are currently 111 satellites that are orbiting objects other than the Earth.

There were 639 launches in the first three months of 2025.

While you are probably thinking that it’s amazing that we have almost 15 000 satellites are orbiting the Earth, not all of them are working.

There are a significant number that have gone wrong, run out of fuel, or got to the end of their life.

They were simple left up in space or expected to go into a decaying orbit and eventually come back to Earth.

There are almost 4 000 useless metal objects above our heads travelling at up to 28 000 kilometres an hour!

Once one of them goes off course and crashes into another it will cause a domino effect.

Just imagine what will happen on earth. The collapse of all communication.

One of the great challenges will be how is responsible when they start to break up into metal rain.

A solar flare could damage all the electronics in orbiting satellites, disrupting navigation and communications systems, as well as the GPS time synchronisation that the internet relies on to function.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS GOVERNANCE IS BECOMING MORE BY REALITY TV, ALGO

From reality TV screens to the halls of power, have we traded substance for spectacle in choosing our leaders?

Reality television has not only shaped our views but has also become a pipeline for political power.

It might be a deliberate tool to make people easier to manipulate and control.

It desensitize us to drama and distract us from the real issues facing the world. 

The rise of Donald Trump, a reality TV star turned president, is the most glaring example. 

—————————

It has transformed what should be serious political discourse into a social media spectacle that perfectly encapsulates our current democratic crisis.

The mechanics are straightforward:

Generate controversy, dominate media cycles, and use the attention to advance political objectives without democratic scrutiny.

So billionaires ego battles have replaced substantive policy discourse as the primary mechanism of political engagement.

Online spaces are designed for fast content consumption, rather than meaningful political debate, which is fuelling social conflict. 

The short-form nature of many online interactions can result in miscommunication, misunderstanding and warping of debated topics that result in unproductive political discussion.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS. DONALD TRUMP IS EXPOSING THE WEAKEST OF OUR WORLD ORGANISATIONS

Abducting – Acquiring – stealing – looting – annexing.

( Ten minute read)

Europe stands at a precipice.

Following the US military operation in Venezuela, President Donald Trump and his close advisers have reiterated that Greenland – currently an autonomous territory of Denmark –  will be next.,

These are not random provocations but coordinated pressure tactics against a sovereign territory.

Threats against NATO members (such as Denmark) could also embolden Russia even more and lead to more uncertainty for Europe.

So why are European leaders not more forcefully calling out Trump’s threats against Greenland – as well as his government’s shocking intervention in Venezuela?

And what’s at stake?

European leaders have been forced to confront a reality they hoped to avoid: the US, NATO’s founding member, may become the alliance’s gravest threat.

But they don’t articulate any solid counter-threat to Trump’s comments.

They could, for instance, have reiterated their long-term partnership, the potential collapse of the biggest alliance in human history, or the costs in losing cooperation (both economic and security) with Europe that directly benefits the US.

Such equivocation on the most basic, foundational concept of international law not only signals incredible weakness. It also undermines Europe’s credibility when invoking the “rules-based order” against Russia and its actions in Ukraine, making it near impossible to mobilise Global South support, sustain sanctions coalitions, or claim principled restraint.

When European leaders respond so cautiously to the Venezuela operation – stressing respect for international law while avoiding direct criticism of Washington – their principles are exposed as highly selective.

Russia understands this dynamic perfectly. Moscow has already characterised US actions as ” armed aggression ” while pointing to Western hypocrisy.

Moscow benefits from this in fundamental ways.

First, Western hypocrisy validates Russia’s narrative that international law is merely a tool the powerful use against the weak.

The vacillation on condemning US action in Venezuela or threats against fellow NATO members contradicts the European narrative against Putin’s war.

Second, NATO’s potential collapse or paralysis would hand Moscow a strategic victory that Russian military power alone has been unable to secure.

If the United States annexes Greenland, Denmark would face an existential choice: accept the violation and remain in a compromised NATO or leave an alliance that no longer protects its members.

All other members would face the same choice.

The NATO alliance cannot function if its members no longer share fundamental values about sovereignty and law.

Trump has forced Europe to confront whether it will defend these principles universally or accept a world where might makes right.

Will Europe leaders be prepared to confront their own hypocrisy or timidly accept the erosion of the rules they claim to defend?

Your Guess is as good as mine

Around the world we are excusing dishonesty.
