Category: Rebane Doctrine

  • Putin’s Broken Promises

    George Rebane As President Trump meets with Ukraine’s Zelinsky and select NATO leaders at the White House to discuss a strategic response to Putin’s peace treaty demands, it is good to review what the Russian thug has in mind as supported by overwhelming evidence (see below) of his behavior on the world scene.  The main…

  • Putin – 1, Trump – 0 (updated 16aug25)

    "Peace in our time!"  Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin, 1938 George Rebane Well hell, President Trump did not pull that one off in Anchorage.  With all the talking heads on Fox doing their best to put a good face on it, there’s no denying that Trump got nothing out of this abbreviated summit that he previewed…

  • Collectivist governments and the Democrat Party

    [This piece was composed with significant research from xAI's Grok; it summarizes the years of posts under what I characterize as Rebane Doctrine.] George Rebane Why do collectivist governments with central planning and control not work? Collective governments with central control—typically referring to systems like command or centrally planned economies where the state directs resource…

  • What is ‘fair’? – one more time

    George Rebane The use of ‘fair’, as in ‘the rich need to pay their fair share’, is one the most nefarious misuse of language in the public square.  Oxford Languages defines the adjective as “impartial and just, without favoritism or discrimination”.  Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem (Nobel 1972, here) proves that in collective decision making among alternatives it is…

  • Scattershots – 29mar25 (updated 4apr25)

    George Rebane DOGE is the new leftwing hysteria du jour.  It has displaced climate change as the issue that gets most folks’ undies in a bundle.  The whole ‘Resist!’ movement of the Left is based on Democrat politicians’ lies and gratuitous fake news reports by the lamestream media.  DOGE is a new government agency charged…

  • What are we doing??!

    George Rebane This longtime Trump supporter and sometime critic is one confused puppy; today I have little to no understanding of what the Trump administration is doing in managing our economy, and what kind of foreign policy goals it is pursuing re Ukraine and China.  So this is a lament in which I bitch and…

  • Pissing Match Continues

    George Rebane Today marked another malignant milestone in the US/Ukraine relationship.  President Trump aborted his much-publicized meeting with President Zelensky, and told him to come back when he’s ready to make peace in the three-year Russo-Ukraine war.  The intended objective of the meeting was for both presidents to sign an agreement that would serve as…

  • Scattershots – 6feb25

    George Rebane As most longtime RR readers know I am a child, student, and defender of western civilization.  And as most literate and reasoning people also know today is that our beloved western civilization is rapidly disintegrating around us.  Its portending doom is abetted from many sources, led most effectively by our educational systems and…

  • Thoughts on the air tragedies

    George Rebane Two air tragedies happened in our land just a couple of days apart.  Yesterday’s medevac Learjet carrying six people came down within a minute after take-off from a Philadelphia airport.  The fuel-ladened jet plummeted at a 45 degree angle into a neighborhood crowded with residences and commercial outlets.  So far the expert talking…

  • Scattershots – 19jan25

    George Rebane Democrats’ demonstrators are paid shills.  There is no end to the evil that this political party practices and foists on the country.  There is actually a booming business for outfits like Crowds on Demand who hire low-lifes to masquerade as concerned citizens expressing their scripted First Amendment rights in the streets.  And the…
