Dear @Substack,
Despite Substack NOT appearing on the Australian🇦🇺 list of websites required now by law to verify users’ age, you do ask for age verification.

The normalization of Digital IDs use (under the guise of kids’ safety in this case) is complete BS and should be banned. They want to control your access to information. Welcome to 1984/2026 cEns0rsh1p apparatus.

What is a 15-Minute City?
The 15-minute city (FMC) is an urban planning concept designed to meet the sustainability targets and indicators pursuant with Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11). The international construction of 15-minute cities is a global project that is being rolled out in the UK in cities like Oxford and Bath.
The local council’s FMC objective in Bath is to establish a “movement strategy” to engineer “how people move” and “how space is shared.” This will “shift” resident “away from decades of car dependency” and will instead compel them to prioritise “sustainable travel”—walking, cycling and public transport.

Talking Great Power Politics in Moscow
On 29 January 2026, I was on the popular RT podcast — “Cross Talk” — with Alastair Crooke and the host Peter Lavelle. We discussed the return of great power politics after the unipolar moment, paying special attention to what motivates President Trump’s foreign policy. The last time I was on Cross Talk was about ten years ago with Steve Cohen, the distinguished scholar of Russia, who left us too soon.

This New Transportation Vehicle from China Shocks the United States
This New Transportation Vehicle from China Shocks the United States
While the world debates the future of transportation, China is already building it. We're not talking about laboratory prototypes or futuristic concepts that never materialize. We're talking about real technologies, operating right now, that challenge everything we thought we knew about moving from one place to another.
From flying buses to trains without rails, China is redefining the rules of the game. Some of these innovations seem pulled straight from a science fiction movie, but they're closer to you than you imagine.
Get ready, because what you're about to discover will change your perspective on the future of transportation forever.
