The Ukrainian War has opened a Can of Worms reversing International Counter Terrorism Laws regarding Mercenary Armies, like the Al Qaeda Network and now the Ukrainian Foreign Legion.


I had been a postgraduate at Macquarie University undertaking my Masters degree in Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism. My purview was studying Terrorism Organisations and in particular how the Post Communist World had led to the rise of the Islamic Jihadist movements culminating with the rise of the Al Qaeda Network, which culminated with the September 11,2001 World Trade Centre Nightmare. Understandably, the international Counter Terrorism laws formulated laws to outlaw the recruitment processes of radicalised Individuals compelled to join international militias such as the Al Qaeda Network and radicalised Islamic Groups throughout the world. The latest iteration of the Islamic militia renown throughout the world was the ISAL and ISIS. The Counter Terrorism laws throughout Western Nations were very strict which would include Australian Counter Terrorism Laws resulting in severe imprisonment terms for many Australians under Federal Laws.

In 2022, British Foreign Minister Liz Truss, opened a can of worms when she had announced a flip of the strict British Counter Terrorism Laws pertaining to Mercenaries being permitted to travel to another country to fight in other Nation's wars. Not dissimlar to the same Fedayeen recruitment process for the International Jihadist recruitment process for many radicalised Islamic Individuals travelling to the Middle East to join the Al Qaeda Network and ISIS either in Iraq, or recently, within Syria.

Before the Ukrainian War, PMCs were considered outlawed under counter terrorism laws. The ISIS and Al Qaeda network were sourced by Fedayeen from the Islamis world which prompted the outlaw of PMCs until the Ukrainian War when the International Legions completely reversed the former International Counter Terrorism laws. Now NATO and the EU are TWO FACED. The ISIS and AQ are now vindicated for their Mercenary recruitment networks. NATO has opened up a can of worms and now almost all Nations Counter Terrorism Laws have now been REPEALED because of the Ukrainian War.

Prigozhin's Wagner Group, Erik Prince's Blackwater (Academi) and other International Private Military Organisations and Private Military Companies, are not unlike the Al Qaeda Network and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISAL), which had been criminalised under International Laws up until the Ukrainian War, were to become legitimised with the Ukrainian War. The creation of the Ukrainian Foreign Legion Mercenary Forces, in which many International Legion units were formulated would include Mercenaries from all over the world, including from South America, Japan, and other Asian Countries, Australia and New Zealand as well as from Europe. And most importantly, from NATO member Nations, the Mercenaries recruitment drive was to considered more pervasive than at any period since World War Two Partisan Volunteer Armies.

When British Foreign Minister Liz Truss announced the repealling of former British Counter Terrorism punitive laws, the entire British punitive counter terrorism indictments against British ISIS Fedayeen Recruits and Fighters imprisoned within Britain and in other Black sites, like Gitmo, in Cuba, were to be challenged under this policy reversal. A Counter Terrorism debacle and can of worms has since been opened which will now lead to many appeals by current inmates within the British and even Australian prisons, under Counter Terrorism laws, today.

Sino-Samoa relations stalled after FAST Government cancelled the Chinese Port. The Chinese proposal will be reconsidered by Samoa. Tim Tufuga

Yesterday, the Indian Ambassador has presented his credentials to the Samoan Head of State, the Tui Aana. In the meantime, this year, 2023, India has officially become the most populous Nation on the Planet accounting for over 17.76% of the world's population. China is no longer the most populous Nation due to their One Child Family policies for half a century ago. The policy has worked reducing the Chinese natural growth significantly. In the meantime, China's economy is the second largest in the world, its development is by far greater than India, although, the Chinese economy has slowed down in the past two years, it is by far well ahead of India. India, was the only BRICS economy that had grown in 2023 whereas Russia and China had slowed down. India is still well behind in terms of local infrastructural development and modernity compared to Russia and certainly compared to China today. In the meantime, the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is developing their Blue

Samoa the Chinese Blue Water Power Projection in the Pacific Region. US Navy attempts to ugrade to meet the challenge. By Tim Brian Tufuga 11th April 2023.

The USN are responding to the Chinese Naval build up. However, the Chinese are building their ships faster and more of vessels comparable to the Americans. Needless to say, the Americans are building more Virginia Class Submarines 13. More Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers (13) and one more Zumult Class Destroyer. And three more Aircraft Carriers which I think are pointless since Aircraft Carriers as a Force projection presence within the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Persian Gulf and Pacific Oceans, are strategic overstretch as the Chinese are focused on the South China Sea, Japanese Sea, and the Philippines Sea region and the Western Pacific region, depending on Samoa's acceptance of the Chinese Military port in Samoa will determine the Chinese military Blue Water power projection and will be the purview of the Chinese Military sphere of influence in the Pacific. Samoa will be the strategic target for the Chinese in projecting their Central Blue Water presence in the Pacific Region wher

(The alleged Culprit, a Russian Sovremenny Destroyer Class, the Chinese Type 956 Destroyer, The Ningbo, ) It happened in October during Australian PM Albanese visit to China, to meet President Xi. This incident happened and was not reported to the media due to damaging Chinese Australian attempt at rapproachement. Presently, the Australian navy are patrolling the Philippines Sea with the Philippines Navy near Sprateley Islands. The Chinese and Australians will have another round soon. The Chinese have thrown the gauntlet and awaiting the Australian response. Economically, China is moving towards Africa in changing their Iron Ore mineral source away from their AUKUS enemy in Australia and Philippines, Japan, South Korea and other adversaries within the region. China with BRICS are moving away from their Western Trading partners. It is b
