When the 77-Years War ended in 1991, the Shiite theocracy ensconced in Tehran was an unfortunate albatross on the Persian people. But it was no threat to America’s homeland safety and security, either. The very idea that Tehran is an expansionist power bent on exporting terrorism to the rest of the world is a giant … Continue reading “Why the War Party Needed To Demonize Iran”

After the Berlin Wall fell in November 1989 and the death of the Soviet Union was confirmed two years later as Boris Yeltsin courageously stood down the Red Army tanks in front of Moscow’s White House, a dark era in human history came to an abrupt end. The world had descended into a "77-Years War." … Continue reading “After The 77-Years War – Why There Is Still No Peace On Earth”

The spectacle in the US Capitol Building last night was downright retch-worthy. And we are not actually referring to the detestable little warmongering clown who preened at the podium in a sweatshirt and cargo pants, offering endless lies and hideously false promises about why American taxpayers and consumers are being bled to death in a … Continue reading “After the Zelensky Spectacle – Let the Partition Begin!”

Part 1 Washington can’t get out of its own way – that’s for sure. After recklessly depleting the nation’s SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve) to just 23 days of supply, or the lowest level since the early 1980s, OPEC has now administered a 2 million barrels per day (mb/d) slap in the face. That is to … Continue reading “Maps Not To Die For”

The messages are coming in loud and clear today – from the crashing pound, to repudiation of establishment governments in Italy, Sweden and more to come, to Hungarian Prime Minister Orban’s call to end the Sanctions War and do so pronto. So let’s be clear: Washington’s dunderheaded intervention in the intramural spat between Russia and … Continue reading “Washington’s Pointless War on Behalf of a Fake Nation”

What in the hell were those bloody-minded Washington/NATO neocons thinking? At any time in the last nine months they could have had a diplomatic settlement with Russia that would have: Avoided/ended the war in Ukraine, thereby saving tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives and hundreds of billion of economic cost and destruction; Allowed the Russian … Continue reading “What In the Hell Was Washington Thinking?”

Europe’s impending depression is not to be discounted in terms of its relevance to this side of the Atlantic pond. Since the turn of the century, US exports to the European Union have soared from $12.3 billion per month to $30.4 billion. That latter amounts to $365 billion on an annual basis. Needless to say, … Continue reading “Europe’s Coming Winter From Hell: Thanks for Your Sanctions War, Washington!”

We don’t know how it could have been any clearer than this warning from Chicom mouthpiece and ultra-hawk, Hu Xijin. Prior to America’s other senile leader putting herself in harms’ way by touching down in Taiwan today, Xijin let loose a volley of histrionics that left little doubt as to where Beijing stood: "If US … Continue reading “Nancy Pelosi’s Utterly Reckless Election-Season Gambit”

Washington’s cowardly proxy war against Russia reached a new level of absurdity over the weekend. To wit, the G-7 knuckleheads declared an embargo on imports of Russia-sourced gold and forced Russia into technical default on its foreign debts by forbidding US companies from collecting the payments which Russian debtors had deposited in their accounts at … Continue reading “Washington’s Sanctions War Kneecaps the West, Not Russia”

It’s always useful to visit the museum in order to offset the recency bias that distorts perceptions of current realities. In the great scheme of things, the picture below is admittedly not that ancient – from just 42 years ago. But it is nevertheless a museum piece because it pertains to a matter that has … Continue reading “Perpetual Debt, Perpetual War”
