"What the West has, and has had for some time now, is a single-shot military. One serious campaign, whether finally won or lost, would disarm the West for a decade." — " Aurelien" This, folks, is the simple truth of the matter. The US simply could not, at this moment...
I can’t help but laugh every time I read an account in the mainstream press about how a big drug kingpin has just been killed or captured. Mainstream-press reporters and editorial writers get so excited over the death or capture that they become almost giddy. Their...
We now can see more clearly the Trump Administration’s chosen path: In the wake of Davos and Munich, we have some light – both on Trump’s towering ambitions, and the means by which he hopes to achieve them. It may nonetheless be too late. Past policies shackle...
Trying to figure out what Trump and Netanyahu are going to do vis-a-vis Iran is like trying to read tea leaves in a monster hurricane. Let me start with the facts, i.e., what we know to be true: The United States has moved a massive amount of combat air assets into...
They’re not even trying anymore. US middle east envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News on Saturday that Iran is “probably a week away” from having the materials necessary to make a nuclear bomb — a line that Iran hawks have been falsely repeating for over...

Tehran is once again pointing the finger at "terrorists" for last month’s bloodshed, rejecting outside estimates and doubling down after President Trump just issued his own high estimate. Trump told reporters Friday that 32,000 people were killed in the...
Here they go again—the war drums on the Potomac are beating so loudly for war against Iran that the CIA stenographers at the NYT have now confidently announced that the next attack will commence this weekend. And yet and yet. Why? The overwhelming fact of life in the...
Having amassed the heaviest US air power in the Middle East since the disastrous 2003 Iraq invasion, President Trump is now considering an initial, limited strike on Iran to force it to bow to the maximalist demands of Israel and the United...
Notwithstanding some of the positive words that came out following the talks in Geneva on Tuesday between the United States and Iran, the die is cast… The United States is going to attack Iran in an attempt to create enough social disorder and chaos in Iran that the...

It is not a glitch (that nothing gets resolved). It’s a feature. For it opens rather, a path for “Business” to be done – for “stakeholder” deals to be cut, and for billions to be shared out in payoffs. This is Trump’s geo-political transactional model: Business...
