"Nordic Pink" (not "noir"... a reviewer called it "an unforgettable Buddhist thriller") my latest novel, asks: What will happen when the Dalai Lama dies? Will his successor be a young girl in Vancouver? Or a boy chosen by the Chinese government? Or? ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

How can we rely on NATO, our mutual defence alliance, when its strongest member threatens to grab two of the alliance member's territories?

The Chinese wanting to select the next Dalai Lama is like Trump wanting to select the next Pope.

America is undergoing one of the slowest coups in history, all the more effective because of how gradual it is. What a great loss to humanity!

The next Dalai Lama could be a little girl or boy born in your city. Find out how the Chinese kidnapping of his successor is thwarted by Swedish and Tibetan Buddhists in a global network for an alternative future, another take on Nordic Noir, published on Amazon.

If Republicans want to show their anti-Chinese attitude, they could start promoting autonomy for Tibet.

I can't help worrying that the summer of 2025 is going to be one of, if not the, most crisis-filled, chaotic, and stressful in the history of the once-beloved USA. Just think about the potential causes. Now let's see if we can counteract these dire portents!

GREENLAND? If you're one of those who want to rename Denali as Mt McKinley then you better not expect Greenland's aboriginal people to welcome you to come and "get them."

I just realised: I automatically used to assume that ALL Americans were democratic, but I see I have started to differentiate between those who are democratic and those who aren't. Sadness is not big enough to describe this feeling.

YES, to democracies.
NO, to oligarchies.
NO, to authoritarianism.
THANK YOU, to Americans in favour of democracy!

President Macron:

We all know the situation. The aggressor is Russia. Ukraine are a nation under attack.

I think we were all right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago, and to continue to do so.

It must be tough for a president of a country (take your pick) to know that people all over the world can't wait for you to just die, ASAP.

Yes, the guy in favour of dictatorship is now the vice-president of the United States, one breath away from being president. The rest of the world watches the collapse of that once beautiful and inspiring American dream.
