Interview with Alexander Dugin on the Iran War. Yes, he's some religious nut weirdo, but this is a more realistic analysis than anything I read in the Western world. Sad to see the intellectual collapse over here. Simply no one intelligent is allowed near positions of power and influence anymore - wouldn't be good for Israel or homegrown "elites" like Trump.

Between Epstein Island and Iran, Where Does Europe Stand?

The below transcript is from Prof.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, intermittent insomnia kind of thing, and last night at probably around 3 AM I heard military jets going over. I don't recall late night military flyovers since the Bush years. Anyway it's pretty clear we have entered uncharted territory and we are facing a crisis in the months ahead. Just like before Covid, everyone is going about their business as if nothing happened. I suppose this is how it was in August 1914 or 1939 as well - unease and menace underneath a veneer of "this is fine".

GOP has self-immolated - a large segment of MAGA feels betrayed by the Iran strikes and will defect. Also, there is an economic disaster in the works because low energy prices were one of the few things keeping inflation in check, and now they are going away. I suppose they got carried away by winning too much - this also happened to the Tories in the UK, and they went from total control to a disastrous collapse in a few years. It has been a long time since a major political party was destroyed (the GOP's predecessor party, the Whigs) in the USA but the GOP might manage it. Or they might get annexed by a new generation with a different agenda. Hard to say but there is no path forward for the current MIGA version of the GOP.
