What The Hell’s Happening With The Armenian Army?
Raise your hands if you’re from Armenia! I’ve got to admit, I’ve not had much exposure to Armenia. I don’t know a lot about the culture, or the economy, or the history.

Argentinian Crisis – A Financial Quandary
When you think of Argentina, what do you associate it with? I always think amazing steaks! Argentinian steaks are so good, it’s unbelievable.

Japan’s Priorities
Have you noticed Japan’s key resources? Or lack, thereof. Japan is one of those unfortunate countries with high aspirations, but few resources to propel them. As a volcanic, mountainous country, Japan has little land for growing crops, and little access to essential resources. And yet, Japan is the third largest economy in the world. They’veContinue reading “Japan’s Priorities”

You would think that after decades of competition and tension between Iran and the US that an all-out military conflict is inevitable.
