This blog will not focus exclusively on any one State or one part of a State's military. My interests cross national boundaries and are not a reflection of my support for any State. I'd like to think I'm equally critical of the narrative provided by many governments. Expect topics based on the actions of the Russian, American or Canadian armed forces.I am not a conspiracy theorist ; I find the term marginalizing and offensive. I do not believe that lizard people run the shadow government that controls all the world's affairs. I believe there are lots of classified projects and missions the militaries of the world undertake, and don't want to explain in the public eye. Much of what the military says, isn't reflective of what they do. I believe the revelations of Edward Snowden have shown anything is possible with a virtually unlimited budget; so I don't think I'm as much a conspiracy theorist as a realist
