• News Forensics: Both sides now: proxy wars.

Ukraine is a US and NATO proxy setup to conduct unprovoked full-scale war against Russia, initially by attacking Russian people in Donbass and Lugansk and Odessa. In 2022 NATO had equipped Ukrainian armies creating the largest military force in Europe at the time for a “final solution” to kill or drive out Russian speaking Ukrainians in southern and eastern Ukraine, an effort which had begun in 2014 when the neo-Nazis overthrew the legally and democratically elected government of Ukraine. The Russians call this war a "Special Military Operation" because it is not a war against Ukraine but rather a defensive operation against the Russophobic nations of Europe and the Anglosphere. Now of course the Americans are pretending that the war is Ukraine’s, despite providing intelligence and targeting information to Ukraine as well as weapons to US allies in Europe who provide those same weapons to Kyiv, although they get blown up on arrival for the most part. The hypocrisy is obvious. But this is the American way of war since Vietnam...

The networked supra-national stratum that long has pursued its global ‘'Grand Design’ through manufacturing public consent for wars of imposed compliance has, at last, run up against the limits to power. We are, indeed, at an ‘emperor has no clothes’ moment. All can see it. Its traditional tools — the US military, the dollar system, the credit trap, the Bretton Woods structures, shock economic therapy and currency wars — are failing to preserve the US élite weltanschauung wherein it would be ‘unimaginable’ that the US having won the Cold War were it to face a world in which the US did not continue to dictate the blueprint “In the golden light of an Athens evening, with the Acropolis over his shoulder”, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on 7 October, openly praised colonialism; he engaged in egregious erasures of history, and demanded a return to Western domination of the world. Rubio asserted that the West must use military force to “maintain its place at the head of the world”; the West is “the greatest civilization in the world”, he declared, emphasizing that it is a “civilization that we must fight to defend today with the same passion as our forefathers did”. But now, those traditional tools to preserve its place at the head of the world are proving less effective against states that possess alternatives — China, Russia and Iran are clear pointers to the trend that economic, financial and even kinetic wars are failing to produce quick results. Quick victories for the Matrix are no longer so readily available. To suggest, on the other hand, that civilisational states could stand up to the US more forcefully ignores everything about the deep nature of this conflict. The ‘One Global Government Grand Design’, is a war to eliminate those Civilisational States that offer a different consciousness through which to view and understand the world.

Given the gush of vitriol and condemnation since Oct. 9, when Donald Trump announced his deal to import 5 million metric tons of Russian diesel, roughly 37 million barrels, one would think the president had surrendered the United States’ sovereignty to the Kremlin, or handed over the Ukrainians to the Russian army, or rankly betrayed the Europeans or altogether renounced what we picturesquely call Western civilization. This is, indeed, what we read daily in the corporate press these days and what we are supposed to think. It is 2016 redux, it seems. Another round of Russiagate may not be far off, given 16 House Democrats have introduced a Prohibit Corrupt Russia Oil Deals Act and 12 senators now attack the diesel accord as “a gift to our adversary.” If there is one thing essential to recall about those dreary years it is that the wobbly-from-the-first Russiagate edifice, the whole of it, was made of mis– and disinformation, hyperbole, innuendo, extravagant abuses of office and propaganda incessantly disseminated in corporate media. It was, in short, the Deep State’s attempt to scuttle any effort to advance beyond the poisonous Russophobia it had spent a decade cultivating (taking my date from Vladimir Putin’s era-defining speech to the Munich Security Conference in 2007). It is the same again as Trump tries once more to end the war in Ukraine and refashion East–West relations, a project the old “MICIMATT”— the military-industrial, congressional, intelligence, media, academic and think tank blob — simply cannot abide.

Take out a pencil, draw a line down the center of the page and on the left hand-column write out every individual, nation, organization, institution and political movement that is aligned with, and advanced the global warming/climate change agenda. Then, on the right-hand column, write out every individual, nation, organization, institution and political movement that is aligned with, advances the interests of, and support for Ukraine. Notice something in the commonality? They are a perfect match. 25+ years of Global Warming, Climate Change, Net Zero, Carbon Trading, Carbon Taxing, Build Back Better etc. advocacy, revolves around the singularity of one issue, energy production. From that baseline the western nemesis of a multi-trillion investment and banking system, built around the destruction of the coal, oil and gas carbon-based energy sector is Russia. Additionally, over the past 10 years as western interests have stopped building oil refining capacity, Russia has expanded oil refining capacity. All ‘modern’ opposition to Russia in the last 25 years, is now culminating…. But the root is something everyone misses. The root commonality of interests is Energy Production. The advocates for the system of dependencies created by the “climate change/net zero” energy processes are the same advocates supporting Ukraine and specifically supporting the targeting of Russian energy production vis-a-vis Russian oil refineries.

Strategic Summary Late October 2026

The Persian Gulf is Closed on Tehran’s Terms: With three more tankers burning and US unmanned reconnaissance systematically downed, Western naval presence has failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to hostile commerce.

Economic sanctions have failed: The 10-fold increase in China-Iran rail freight traffic proves that continental integration across the Eurasian landmass provides a resilient alternative to Western-controlled sea lanes.

The multi-front reality is locked: From the Black Sea to the Gulf of Oman, asymmetric maritime and aerial strike systems have rewritten the rules of naval engagement, leaving capital fleets vulnerable to low-cost attrition.

The delusion that the United States can launch a localized, painless strike against Iran to reassert authority is collapsing before the operation even begins.

If Washington launches its planned post-midterm assault, it will not trigger Iranian submission. It will detonate a multi-trillion-dollar regional conflagration that shuts down the global energy supply, breaks the remaining naval architecture of the Middle East, and delivers a fatal blow to the economic foundation of the late Western empire.

The mass riots in France, which started as protests over underfunded schools, are a shocking example. But the phenomenon has been building for years, with the perceived failure of liberal democracy to make good on its promises of a better future, especially for the young and the salaried working class. There is a growing perception among many Europeans that traditional parties of the center-left and center-right do not offer real alternatives and are led by an educated elite that has lost its connection to the poor, the workers and the young. Facing rising deficits, expenses and interest rates, governments feel constrained in what they can do to respond.

Russian leadership has made it clear that once the remaining 10% of Donetsk Oblast is cleared, the diplomatic focus will not center on border adjustments, but on the complete demilitarization of the Ukrainian state and a legally binding revision of the European security architecture. Late October 2026 marks the point where operational realities are overtaking Western political narratives,

• Korybko: The Post-War European Security Architecture Is Beginning To Take Shape.

• Off Cape Kaliakra in Bulgaria’s Exclusive Economic Zone, an Israeli-owned, Liberian-flagged container vessel—the K-Ship Jet—was disabled by three unmanned subsurface vessels (UUVs). The attack confirms that stand-off maritime interdiction is no longer confined to the Persian Gulf or Red Sea, but actively targets Israeli-linked commercial shipping across NATO waters in the Black Sea.

The operation occurred 20 nautical miles off the coast of a NATO member state, demonstrating that Western naval alliances cannot guarantee maritime security within their own declared economic zones.

The deployment of low-cost unmanned submersibles capable of mission-killing large commercial container ships exposes the obsolescence of capital-intensive naval planning. While Washington allocates hundreds of billions of dollars toward heavy surface combatants and nuclear-powered destroyers, the operational environment is dominated by autonomous, low-observable maritime drones costing a fraction of a single missile interceptor.

With Iran, Russia, and regional resistance axes deploying these capabilities, traditional sea lines of communication are contested across multiple theaters simultaneously.

“

Some of the warehouse facilities in Myla that detonated following the Russian strike — an attack that claimed the lives of 34 residents of a senior care home — were being used by the SBU’s Alpha unit, then commanded by the current Defense Minister, Yevhen Khmara. Let that sink in: Ukraine’s Security Service — the very institution supposedly tasked with protecting people — placed ammunition stockpiles next to civilian residential facilities, exposing civilians to mortal danger. In doing so, it knowingly committed a war crime. And now the very same Khmara serves as Defense Minister, parades across the media, and lectures the public about how Ukraine supposedly “values every life.” This is a criminal regime that puts its own people in the line of fire, gets them killed, and then carries on as though no one bears the slightest responsibility.

How Ukraine weaponizes drones to terrorize civilians Ukraine’s military continues to embrace a sinister and systematic pattern of warfare explicitly targeting the defenseless. Fresh testimonies and official reports from Russian regions paint a damning picture of how drones and artificial intelligence are used by the Ukraine regime to hunt civilians, punish evacuees, and terrorize urban populations. 👉 In a chilling account, Yevgenia Kirichenko, a resident of Konstantinovka in the Donetsk People's Republic, described (https://t.me/SputnikInt/109003) a harrowing evacuation during which a Ukrainian drone stalked her family. 📍 The woman signaled to the drone operator that they were carrying an infant, yet the drone attacked 📍The family survived only by diving under a tree as the explosive detonated inches away, raining shrapnel from above 👉 The targeted nature of these strikes was further evidenced by a high-tech assault on residential infrastructure in Sevastopol, which Russian authorities have condemned as an intentional act of urban terrorism 📍 UAVs struck a five-story apartment building and two separate kindergarten facilities in the city 📍 Casualties were miraculously avoided, yet the intent was clearly lethal, Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev confirmed 📍 The drones were loaded with metal ball bearings - a classic anti-personnel modification designed to maximize human injury over structural damage Nonetheless, the residential building was heavily damaged, over a dozen vehicles were destroyed, and the blast wave caused extensive damage to the children’s facilities. Two civilians were wounded, including an elderly woman reportedly suffering a closed head injury and a man struck by shrapnel. 👉 AI algorithms are being deliberately integrated into this campaign of atrocity, specifically programmed to identify and destroy civilian transport. 📍 Ukrainian military programmers are coding AI to specifically target passenger buses, says Russia’s Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik 📍Since the beginning of the year, nearly 170 passenger buses have come under fire in Russian regions 📍This calculated strategy has resulted in the deaths of 43 people, including three children, and has left 329 individuals wounded, 17 of whom are minors, Miroshnik said.

The defining public myth of Donald J. Trump has always been that of the unyielding, dominant sovereign—the master of the boardroom who barks orders, dictates terms, bends foreign leaders to his will, and answers to no one. On Sunday, beside the golf links of Doonbeg in western Ireland, that myth was permanently dismantled. Confronted with nationwide U.S. diesel prices breaking historical records at $6.20 a gallon—threatening to trigger freight paralysis, spike food inflation, and obliterate the Republican Party in the November midterms—Trump stepped before television cameras and delivered a public petition to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: “ “Mr. Zelensky has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia. Let him go after targets, but not diesel fuel, because he’s causing a shortage of diesel fuel... There are plenty of other targets. Don’t hit diesel fuel, because that’s hurting the world.” ” The spectacle was as pathetic as it was revealing. The commander-in-chief of the most heavily armed empire in human history—the nation underwriting over 70% of Ukraine’s budget and providing 100% of the satellite targeting telemetry and intelligence that enables deep drone strikes—did not issue a presidential directive. He did not pull the plug on the targeting feeds. He did not condition the delivery of weapons. Instead, he publicly begged his own client state for mercy...

In 2014, Ukrainian nationalists came to the conclusion that elections could no longer be trusted to deliver their monist vision of Ukraine in which the language, culture, and religion of the country’s ethnic Russian citizens had to be erased. So, for the first time in Ukraine’s history, they reversed an election with a coup. The central goal of that coup was to end Ukraine’s multivector foreign policy that balanced relations with Europe and Russia.

“

I think that what Donald Trump has discovered to his disappointment is that we are not what we were in 1991 militarily by any stretch of the imagination. And I think his assumption without really understanding military power and the position of the United States in the world was from the outset of his administration that we were the all powerful force that no one could resist and that anybody who resisted us would be rapidly beaten into submission. Now some people say, 'well this is Donald Trump's god complex'. I mean, the other day, I guess he spoke and told someone that the Houthis were behaving badly, which somebody said, "Who does this man think he is? God?" I'm not sure he even knows who the Houthis really are. And I don't think he has much appreciation for what the population in Yemen has been through over the last decade or two, having been either starved or bombed into submission several times by the Saudis. But at any rate, I think he truly believes that he and the American state is at the center of the universe and that we are still all powerful, which is why I think you're going to see another round of fighting with Iran. He cannot accept the fact that our military supremacy is no longer the case and neither is our economic supremacy and for that matter neither is our financial credibility. We're not even a AAA creditor in the world anymore. It's all bound up together, but he seems to be determined that he's going to return us to the unipolar moment, whether the world wants it or needs it, they're going to get it.

• Ian Proud: Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, author of user:Conservative's oft quoted Happiness Index, plan to end the Ukraine war. [20] This will be a bitter pill for Zelensky and European leaders to swallowing, but the final political reckoning with strategic defeat draws ever closer as events in France are showing.

The plan is quite simple and there is nothing that hasn’t been raised before. Ukraine’s military neutrality Ukraine to pursue membership of the EU as a neutral state, much like Austria and Ireland An armistice line to be drawn along the line of contact NATO to commit to no further eastward expansion Clearly - or at least to me - this is an edited version of the plan that the Trump White House has been pursuing. The biggest blockages are: getting Zelensky, the EU and Britain to commit to implementation of a plan that is based around this template, having refused to negotiate with Russia in a substantive way thus far; getting European States to commit to a plan that would finally end the folly of Ukraine’s pursuit of NATO membership; getting the EU finally to face up to the enormous challenge of admitting Ukraine to membership in some form, recognising the huge financial challenges this will pose to the project; getting the EU and Britain to commit to sanctions removal from Russia, having taken steps to make them permanent. This will include the issue of the mobilisation of Russia’s frozen assets. The list is longer than that, but the key point is that landing a deal, the shape and substance of which Ukraine and Europe have been resisting since the war started, represents a massive hurdle. Why? Because, at the very least, taking NATO off the table and making Ukraine a neutral state will represent an enormous strategic defeat of the west, that political leaders will have to account for to their publics, following years of open-ended and exorbitant financial commitments, during which time Europe has grown demonstrably poorer because of its war policy. So the biggest blockage to this plan is political. But the political facts on the ground in Europe, characterised by what is happening in France right now, are bringing the final political reckoning with defeat ever closer, while making the pill more bitter.

• Jeffrey Sachs : A Framework for Peace In Ukraine.

Prof. Sachs: Europe is burning because it's in economic crisis and the political leaders in Europe don't respond to the basic interests and needs of the citizens. By the way, politically the situation is the same in the United States. Thank God the US is not burning right now, but the government is extremely unpopular in the United States because it's engaged in war rather than addressing the needs of American working families. So the situation is similar, but Europe is really suffering from its response to this mess in Ukraine. It has put on more than 20 rounds of sanctions. But what that has meant for Europe is to cut itself off from the low-cost energy that was core to Europe's competitiveness and its industrial base which, since 2022, is therefore been shrinking with jobs being lost, with living standards going down, and all the European politicians, especially in the big countries, Germany with Chancellor Merz or France with President Macron. They speak of more war. And the public doesn't want more war. The public wants peace. It doesn't want to put hundreds of billions of dollars or euros into the Ukraine war. It doesn't want to pay six times the cost of Russian natural gas by buying American liquefied natural gas shipped across the Atlantic. So the public is disgusted and the European politicians are absolutely bizarre in my view. They have been failed politicians for years. But as the unhappiness has increased, as the approval ratings for Macron dipped below 20% and then below 15% and then reaching about 10% approval, and that means 70 or 80% disapproval. There was no reaction of the government to the unhappiness in the public, and now a spark and explosion and it's just a disaster. Of course, the economic fallout of what's happening in France is profound. Interest rates are soaring. French public debt is already very large. Now will pay a compound penalty interest rate on top of this. This will exacerbate the economic stagnation and decline being felt throughout Europe. Next door in Germany, the unpopularity of the Chancellor and his party are equivalent. This is the situation. It's a continent that is engaged in an extraordinarily unpopular war with Russia that could be ended as I am emphasizing through a sensible negotiated outcome. But the European leaders are choosing the drums of war rather than the negotiating table.

• Larry Johnson: A Thimble for a Flood: Trump’s Russian Diesel Deal… Why the announced volumes barely register against the global distillate shortage.

The real winner: Moscow If the deal does little for the diesel shortage, it does a great deal for Russia. The volumes that are trivial against a 3 million barrel-a-day gap are not trivial as cash, because diesel is now one of the most valuable commodities on earth. US diesel futures settled at about $4.80 a gallon in September, roughly $200 a barrel....Actual realized prices will depend on discounts, freight and delivery terms, and the revenue is earned first by Russian companies, reaching the state through taxes. That money arrives when Moscow needs it. Russia’s budget was built on $59 Urals crude; in early 2026 Urals was selling in the mid-$40s to mid-$50s at deep discounts imposed by sanctions, and Bloomberg reported that, at those prices, the shortfall in oil and gas revenue would push the deficit to almost 2.2 trillion rubles, about $29 billion. On my numbers, the full diesel package alone would cover roughly a fifth to a quarter of that gap. The sanctions relief is worth more than the announced tonnage. Treasury’s general license is not limited to fuel bound for the United States. It allows Russian diesel to be sold on the global market, and any cargo loaded while the license is in force is exempt from US sanctions until April 2027. That means: Every exportable barrel benefits, not just the announced tranches. Once Russia lifts its own export ban, all of its diesel can be sold openly for six months, not just the volumes in Trump’s post. If Russia exported even 0.5 million barrels a day over that period, a figure I use only for illustration, it would earn roughly $14 billion to $18 billion at the same prices. Smaller discounts. Sanctioned Russian crude sold at a discount of about $26.50 a barrel to Brent in February. Diesel sold legally to mainstream buyers, with conventional shipping and insurance, does not need to be discounted the same way. Each dollar of discount removed is a dollar more for Moscow. A crack in the sanctions wall. This is the first diesel license longer than the standard 30 days since the war began, and it comes weeks after Trump signed a law calling for tariffs of up to 100% on the biggest buyers of Russian oil and gas. Moscow and its customers will draw the obvious conclusion: US sanctions are negotiable, and enforcement of the new law is now in doubt. [bold added] [ Johnson's ] assessment This deal is politics, not supply. It gives the White House a talking point before the midterms and gives Moscow billions of dollars in hard currency plus a six-month sanctions reprieve it has sought since the war began, but it does not move the needle on the global diesel shortage. At best it offsets two weeks of a deficit that, on Miller’s assessment, will persist for years while the Gulf rebuilds. Lower pump prices, if they come, will come from demand destruction, stock draws or a reopened Strait of Hormuz, not from 35 million barrels of Russian diesel trickling in over the winter. The larger cost is strategic. Easing sanctions for a volume this small hands Russia a financial lifeline for its war budget and trades away leverage over Moscow, and strains relations with Kyiv and Brussels, for a benefit that disappears in the noise of a 3 million barrel-a-day hole.

No doubt someone like Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski, husband of Cold War warrior Anne Applebaum, would have no problem sacrificing his countrymen if called to do so by the imperial masters. Yet we should also place all the big talk out of Warsaw in the context of Polish budgets that keep sending an increasing amount of money abroad to US weapons companies. The budget for next year includes an absurd 4.8 percent of GDP earmarked for defense while the budget deficit, even after optimistic growth and revenue forecasts, is still slated to be 6.5 percent of GDP.

• Korybko:

While it would have been better had he said that Ukraine is still seeking to do so just like the ruling liberal coalition is too, his claim at the very least ensures that allied conservative President Nawrocki will closely scrutinize any potential false flag provocation before responding as commander-in-chief.

The issue surrounds a Polish-led NATO false flag attack on Kaliningrad, the Russian trip-wire for nuclear holocaust. Russian doctrine is clear - any Western attack on Kaliningrad will be immediately responded to with nuclear weapons. Perhaps Russian doctrine needs to be updated or clarified: an Oreshnik response on the strategic assets of NATO or the attacking county/countries (Poland, Germany, UK, etc.).

reputable polling suggests that the ruling liberal coalition risks being unseated by a conservative-nationalist one after fall 2027’s next Sejm elections if the current trends hold. Scaring Poles about Russia and then attempting to imbue them with the false confidence that they can “defeat Russia rather quickly” is an extremely manipulative form of electioneering that might ultimately backfire. It’s intellectually insulting that Poland’s ruling liberals believe that they can pull Poles in these polar opposite directions for what might be the next 12 months in order to rally them behind their coalition. The “Russophrenia” of believing that Russia is about to steamroll through NATO while also believing that NATO can easily steamroll through Russia, to cite Irish journalist Brian McDonald’s famous concept, is difficult to maintain for that long and at scale without inadvertently turning more Poles against them.

• Another Ultra-Nationalist Scandal Is Roiling Polish-Ukrainian Relations

The ruling liberals’ superficial response probably won’t boost their standing among voters any more than their recent “Russophrenic” episode that reverberated across Europe over the past half-year. The Regional Council of Western Ukraine’s Lvov Region, the cradle of its ultra-nationalist movement, voted to commemorate 2027 as the year of the “Ukrainian Insurgent Army” (UPA) and its Commander-in-Chief Roman Shukhevich. He and his organization were among the culprits of the World War II-era Volhynia Genocide that resulted in the slaughter of over 100,000 Poles. Zelensky named an elite commando unit after the UPA earlier this year at the cost of sparking a political crisis with Poland. While Poland’s ruling liberal coalition repaired ties with Ukraine after conservative President Karol Nawrocki revoked their country’s highest honor from him in response, they briefly hardened their rhetoric towards it for electioneering reasons, and they’re now doing so once more. Prime Minister Donald Tusk condemned the resolution as “suicidal”, Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski banned the official who proposed it, and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz called the move unacceptable

Russia still has a force in Ukraine smaller than Ukrainian forces. Russia's invasion was not "full scale" then or now.

When you inquire as to the reasons for the truly nihilistic mobs rampaging across the towns and cities of France, however, you initially get answers that are far too superficial. That is, the current uprisings are blamed on unassimilated immigrants, inherently evil “leftists” and economically dispossessed and culturally deracinated youth. This may be. But these are symptoms, not causes. The real cause is that crushing taxes, easy welfare and evaporating birth rates among the native population in France—and much of the West as we amplify below—are denuding the French economy of growth and opportunity. At the same time, the socio-economic vacuums are being filled with welfare and segregated populations of largely disadvantaged immigrants.

Washington has a plan for Iran. According to a source close to the White House, the plan is to seize one or more of Iran’s islands in the Persian Gulf. Senator Chris Murphy, who says he has been briefed on what the administration intends to do after Tuesday’s midterms, summed it up this week in four words: “their plan is insane.”

Iranian defense planners have completed targeting packages designating an estimated $2.5 to $3 trillion in regional energy infrastructure, municipal desalination facilities, and underwater fiber-optic trunk cables spanning the Persian Gulf floor. Should the White House authorize the planned post-election air campaign, Tehran’s doctrine of asymmetric mutual escalation guarantees the destruction of the economic foundation of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states.

• Conflicts Forum: The Prospective Demise of Saudi Arabia.

So you know it is a question mark and this major conflict with Aramco [the world's largest corporation - being slowly dismantled. Saudi Arabia not having income. It's not just the war in terms of kinetic war but it is the economic war. The Saudis pay for their imports by selling oil. 82% I think or something like that 80% of their revenues go to imports, cost of imports. At the moment they don't sell oil. So what happens? Well, you've got two choices really. Either you devalue the currency, your currency, because otherwise the trade deficit will be huge and Saudi Arabia already has about $520 billion of debt. It has $420 billion of foreign exchange reserves. But I mean if you have a big trade deficit because you haven't got revenue to pay for your imports, yet your people want imports because it is, you know, a very consumerist society and they're used to that. So if you can't do that, then you have to devalue the currency. But that means breaking the peg [with the dollar ] and what would be the consequence on other Gulf states that are on a dollar peg and would that start around on that. Secondly, you start try to sell your foreign exchange reserves but think what happened with Japan. Japan started to sell its foreign exchange reserves, but far less. It was about $89 billion or something like that off the top of my head, but far less and Saudi would have to spend to keep up the level of imports with no revenue. So, um far less. So, what would that do to the American bond market? that would you know cuz the Japanese brought about a major crisis. This could bring about an even greater uh crisis in the American bond market and I doubt the president would allow it. So, you know, it seems that Saudi Arabia is really in an economic trap as well as a trap of the destruction of its infrastructure and of its lack of anyone willing to come or able to help it. And the final dilemma of course Muhammad bin Salman is not willing really to capitulate to the Houthis in their demands because their demands are couched in terms of a complete end to the war - port for port - airport for airport - all of that has to be resuscitated. What they don't mention and isn't part of their demands as far as I know at this point is the three provinces that Saudi Arabia expropriated, I think 1934 at that time anyway..."

• 29 Aug. Mark Wauck: More Speculation Re Ratcliffe’s Moscow Trip.

Most of the semi-official explanations for Ratcliffe’s unannounced—until it was in process—flight to Moscow in a huge heavy lift military transport (a C-17) have failed to convince observers and analysts. By “semi-official” I mean the accounts presented in mainstream media outlets like the NYT, the WaPo, and WSJ—media outlets which are generally assumed to have access to official regime sources and even to serve as outlets for narratives that the regime wishes to propagate. The unsatisfactory nature of these accounts, often centering around Ratcliffe’s use of a huge military transport (which could not make the flight without refueling) rather than his official jet—a long range Gulfstream V that could easily make the flight from DC to Moscow non-stop. The transport of a motorcade for Ratcliffe isn’t sufficient reason for the use of a C-17, since those huge transports can accommodate a motorcade and still have room for returning the remains of US service personnel who died in the US war on Russia....Today we’re seeing renewed speculation which I find plausible. It centers around the supposition that the Trump regime didn’t simply contact the Kremlin and say, ‘Hey, how’s about our boy John comes over to talk to you guys?’ The supposition, instead, is that the Russian side requested Ratcliffe’s presence in Moscow for a presentation provided by Russian officials. This seems plausible to me because of the rising tensions between Russia and the Anglo-Zionists brought on by increased attacks on Russia from that quarter...

Sources say there was a refrigeration unit onboard the C-17 which adds to the speculation that the mission was to retrieve bodies of dead CIA operatives.

Over the last decade, the US federal government has spent $3.1 trillion on foreign wars. Add overall defense spending and you get a grand total of $8.2 trillion. Over half of the Pentagon’s discretionary defense spending —54% —goes to private contractors, compared to almost zero for China. U S private contractors have a minimum profit margin of 10% —some critics say much higher, around 20% Now, compare to China, which, of course, has spent nothing on foreign wars. China as spent just around $3 trillion on defense over decade, or about or about 35% of the US total. Only about 10% of US defense spending goes to defense of the homeland. The rest goes to the US’s global reach and offensive capabilities. 95%~98% of China’s defense spending goes to its borders and its Pacific Perimeter to counter the threat from the US and its allies. The US Federal government spent $1.21 trillion on infrastructure over the last 10 years. China spends $2 trillion to $3 trillion annually. The numbers here are all ballpark figures — they are approximations. But no matter how you fudge them, the result is clear— the US cannot develop while wasting money on foreign wars and attempts at global domination.

Therefore all phosphate mining at that mine will be shut down. ...The reason why they are suspending operations is the high price and lack of sulfur….the main driver. Also affecting our production and operations at the mines are high diesel prices.

We have all watched Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney proclaim his devotion to the European NATO alliance, and we’ve watched the EU-NATO alliance embrace him as their foil against the geopolitical reset underway by U.S. President Donald Trump.

All of the timing, the events, the moves and statements, the visible appearances and the odd shifts in narrative all seem to align in one direction.

Is it just a coincidence that at the exact time when Carney is feeling the economic heat from Canadian economic outcomes, the central bank from the home country of the NATO head Mark Rutte, De Nederlandsche Bank, shifts gold from Canada to London, and that coincides with just the right amount of value ($1.1 billion) to shift Canadian GDP statistics, and give Carney political breathing room domestically?… [53]

• Trump's war overreach may be the straw that breaks the back of the West's financialised architecture. [54]

The recent violent unrest in Paris is linked to those 2024 French election results — The election engineered a fractured, deadlocked parliament that Macron hoped to manipulate. This fuelled deepening public anger at the European Ruling élite's refusal to accept accountability for the mistakes that had led to the wider European economic crisis. Key aspects of France’s crisis — out-of-control immigration, failing public services and growing cost of living pressures — are common to virtually all major liberal economies. In short, though the economic problems associated with western states may appear to each have their unique national characteristics, they all have deeper roots that lie with the financialised western response to the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. The point now is that these contradictions and tensions are reaching their zenith through the related interlinked conflicts in Ukraine, Iran and Yemen-Saudi that now risk taking the economic crisis to an altogether different level of financial crisis — one that could end in systemic breakdown. Pushing the crisis to climax arises from the pursuit of two contradictory objectives at the same time — firstly, the maintenance of a costly welfare states, whilst secondly indulging in wars intended to maintain the western place, per Marco Rubio, at the "head of the world". It is these wars that - predictably enough - have caused the soaring costs of living that are breaking the budget of most liberal economic states.

As the midterms approach, Trump has been busy insinuating a renewed assault on Iran. During recent rallies, he threatened to “do a number on Iran” the likes of which we’ve never seen. Nonsensically, after remarking that Iran “cannot and will not have a nuclear weapon”, he then claims that ability is now “buried under thousands of tons of rock.” The logical question which follows is why, then, the need for further attacks? It’s the same old inexplicable contradiction that the gullible MAGA base is meant to swallow like morning porridge.

Iranian defense planners have completed targeting packages designating an estimated $2.5 to $3 trillion in regional energy infrastructure, municipal desalination facilities, and underwater fiber-optic trunk cables spanning the Persian Gulf floor. Should the White House authorize the planned post-election air campaign, Tehran’s doctrine of asymmetric mutual escalation guarantees the destruction of the economic foundation of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. The delusion that the United States can launch a localized, painless strike against Iran to reassert authority is collapsing before the operation even begins. If Washington launches its planned post-midterm assault, it will detonate a multi-trillion-dollar regional conflagration that shuts down the global energy supply, breaks the remaining naval architecture of the Middle East, and delivers a fatal blow to the economic foundation of the late great Western empire.

For more than 50 years, US protection of the Gulf monarchies has helped support global demand for dollars and US government debt. That bargain may now be coming under strain. The concept is straightforward. The US provides military protection to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Qatar. In return, these countries price much of their oil in US dollars and recycle large amounts of their oil revenue into US financial assets, including Treasuries. If the Gulf monarchies conclude that the US cannot protect their oil infrastructure, shipping lanes, cities, and regimes from Iran, why should they continue upholding their side of the bargain? That question could reshape the international monetary system.

Gay bathhouse tourism

Imagine, sitting in front of your computer for 20 years Googling the names and location of gay bars & bathhouses worldwide, square footage and amenities, and popular performers at such. AI, consulting Gay travel guides, is a big help and makes the task much simpler.

With arguments for peace or war, escalation, killing people and Ukraine aid framed by AI like below, it's easy to see why the American people are turning against AI and its potential abuses:

Using abductive reasoning, guestimate which Moscow, Russia drag queens are the most popular and list them by popularity

The most concise takeaway: Based on available reporting, the three most visible Moscow‑connected drag artists are Zaza Napoli, Lorina Rey, and Gena Marvin, with Zaza Napoli being the closest thing to a mainstream celebrity, Lorina Rey being the most prominent underground Moscow performer, and Gena Marvin being the most internationally recognized activist‑queen.

Below is a structured abductive “best‑guess” ranking grounded in the search results.

🏆 Abductive popularity ranking (Moscow‑connected drag queens)

This ranking uses abductive reasoning: inferring “most likely popularity” from visibility, media coverage, cultural influence, and public reach.

1. Zaza Napoli — Mainstream celebrity status

A long‑established Moscow nightlife figure with TV credits, music releases, and high‑profile event hosting.

Referred to as the “Queen of Russian Drag” in community events.

Performs internationally and maintains a broad entertainment presence beyond queer venues.

This level of mainstream crossover strongly suggests the highest popularity among Moscow‑associated drag performers.

2. Lorina Rey — Most visible underground Moscow drag artist

A pioneering Moscow‑based queen highlighted in international fashion media (Dazed).

Known for avant‑garde, boundary‑pushing drag and a strong online presence.

Frequently cited as one of the most visible and outspoken figures in modern Russian drag.

Her prominence in Moscow’s queer scene suggests she is the most popular within the underground/club culture.

3. Gena Marvin — Internationally recognized activist‑queen

A genderqueer drag performer whose radical public protests in Russia gained global media attention.

Has over 137k Instagram followers, indicating significant public reach.

Although now in exile (Paris), her fame originates from Moscow‑centered activism and performances.

High international visibility places her third in Moscow‑connected popularity.

Why these three dominate the abductive ranking

Media visibility: All three appear in major outlets (Dazed, PinkNews, Moscow Times).

Cultural impact: Each has shaped Russian drag in a distinct way—mainstream entertainment, underground artistry, political activism.

Public reach: Zaza Napoli’s TV presence, Lorina Rey’s fashion‑media coverage, and Gena Marvin’s large social following provide measurable indicators.

Kalshi update

👉 US tech companies closely aligned with Donald Trump are reportedly wooing his political opponents ahead of the November midterm elections.

Meta, Palantir and other companies reportedly fear that a possible Democratic takeover of the US Congress could put their financial ties to Trump under scrutiny, exposing them to subpoenas and congressional hearings, according to The Wall Street Journal. Democrats need just four seats in the Senate and three in the House to take control of Congress.

So, to avoid potential investigations, executives are donating heavily to Democrats, hiring former Democratic aides and setting up teams to assess their vulnerabilities.

🔴 The move by exchange & prediction traders Kalshi - which has hired Democrat aides - is especially telling, given that it hired Donald Trump Jr. as its strategic advisor in January 2025. In March, Trump Jr. fought to shield the rapidly expanding industry from scrutiny by state and federal regulators – while rumors of insider trading swirl around the Trump family (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/73669). Is Kalshi about to turn its back on him?

🔴 At Meta, Palantir, Amazon.com and Chevron, executives are reportedly preparing for potential congressional probes and hearings

🔴 Meta has donated at least $10 million to nonprofit groups aligned with Democratic House and Senate leaders – but it is also hedging its bets with another $10 million to similar groups supporting Republican candidates

🔴 Palantir’s position is less straightforward. In April, The Hill reported that Democrats were rejecting the company’s donations, wary of its growing political toxicity over links to mass civilian deaths in Gaza and immigration raids in the US. Palantir has secured several major deals under Trump’s second term, including a $30 million ICE contract for an “Immigration Lifestyle Operating System”, a $1 billion DHS purchasing agreement, and a $10 billion ten-year contract with the Pentagon (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/73414)

Probes underway

Donald Trump Jr. and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/73148) are already under scrutiny:

➡️ In August, US lawmakers opened a probe into 1789 Capital, the venture firm where Trump Jr. sits on the board, questioning its lucrative investments in companies that secured government contracts

➡️ Earlier this year, lawmakers also began scrutinizing Kushner’s overseas business dealings while he participates in US peace efforts

➡️ If Democrats win, they could use subpoena power to compel Trump family members to testify about their controversial financial dealings

Perhaps if Trump had not pursued aggressive immigration crackdowns, pressured Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to secure peace in Gaza, or launched the humiliating war in Iran, he might have had better odds of holding onto power. Even his efforts to stave off a US financial crisis with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/73674) and AI giants' (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/73683) maneuvers may not be enough to save him.

They can put every nickel of donations and fundraising in the bank and exit the 2026 midterms with billions in saved funds – But they’ve got to hide their crazy; I mean really hide it. The professional Republican Party in Washington DC [Ed.: or "establishment" ] is completely disconnected from the American voter, and more importantly from their base of support. This creates a very unusual dynamic. First, let me explain what Republican priorities the Democrats need to support:

♦ Republicans will demand more funding for Ukraine. So, Democrats should give it to them. Two-thirds of the American voters are against the stupid spending on this nonsense proxy war against Russia. If Democrats quietly, silently, just let the GOP fund their proxy war, voters will punish them [i.e., the professional Republican Party in Washington DC] ..."

"I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and thousands of others killed in combat."

The Sunni Al-Qaeda group, one of Iranian Shia Islam's biggest enemies (ISIS headchoppers targeted Shia Muslims over Christians & Jews) claimed responsibility for the USS Cole bombing.

The two people behind the war in Iran are Trump’s chief of staff (and Netanyahoo confident) Susie Wiles, as well as Trump’s Mossad handler and son in law Jared Kushner. There are plenty of reasons, including corruption, to fire both. To end the war in Ukraine will necessitate to get rid of CIA Director Ratcliffe. It is the CIA, not the Pentagon, which is running the show in Kiev. This will be difficult to do as Ratcliffe is a deep-state plant. The Democrats want to continue the war in Ukraine and give him some cover. The real mess for Trump will only start after the popping AI bubble drags down the markets. The damage to people’s prosperity will be huge and there is little that he can do about it. But there are still a few month until that happens. After that it will be Treasury Secretary Bessent who will be fired. There is a significant chance that Trump will not survive the next two years. I have no feeling yet how the first presidency of JD Vance might pan out.

• [ The Hegemonic Echo]

{{quotebox-float|Donald Trump’s political movement was built upon an explicit promise: to dismantle the globalist consensus that squandered trillions on nation-building, offshored domestic industries, and dragged the United States into endless wars.

Yet an examination of the personalities directing Trump’s foreign policy apparatus reveals that the distinction between the “globalist” and the “neoconservative” is a distinction without a difference:

Both camps start from the premise that the United States has the right to police the planet and determine the internal political structures of sovereign nations.

The globalist demands that Russia submit to the expanding borders of Atlanticist institutions.

The neoconservative insists on inflicting a military and economic defeat to shatter the Russian state outright.

When Trump empowers figures like John Ratcliffe and Marco Rubio, he is not challenging the globalist architecture; he is simply assigning its enforcement to its most aggressive practitioners.

The neoconservatives do not seek an “America First” withdrawal from foreign cauldrons; they view the United States as an instrument of force to eliminate any [[nation] that stands outside the Western financial orbit.

By allowing the CIA to direct Project Ukraine, Trump has surrendered the execution of his policy to the very institutional forces he pledged to defeat.

2. Langley’s Escalation: John Ratcliffe and the Deep-Strike Machine

The reporting published by The Atlantic—an outlet with historic ties to the Anglo-American intelligence establishment—confirms that the operational core of the war is situated in Langley, Virginia:

The trajectory of this escalation reveals Ratcliffe’s influence:

The Sidelining of Realists: The intelligence apparatus moved early to neutralize internal critics. As hinted in The Atlantic, Ratcliffe played a central role in isolating and pushing out figures like Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, whose public skepticism of foreign entanglements threatened the CIA’s operational monopoly....}}

Why the Number Was So Low

• High Infant Mortality: A massive driver of this low average was childhood death. Roughly 10% to 43% of children died before reaching age five due to poor sanitation and infectious diseases like smallpox, dysentery, and malaria. • Not Everyone Died Young: If a person managed to survive childhood and reach adulthood in colonial America, their outlook changed completely. Adults frequently lived well into their 60s and 70s, much like people do today. most people in the late 1700s worked until they died or were physically unable to continue. In early America, the concept of a modern "retirement" did not exist. Several cultural and economic realities shaped this lifelong labor model:

1. An Agrarian, Household Economy

In the late 1700s, the vast majority of Americans lived and worked on family farms or in family-run artisanal shops. Because work was deeply integrated into household survival, there was no institutional concept of "leaving" a job.

• Shifting Roles: As people grew old, they didn't stop working; instead, they transitioned to less physically demanding tasks. An aging farmer might hand the heavy plowing over to his children but continue tending to livestock, repairing tools, or managing household affairs.

2. No Financial Safety Nets

There were no corporate pensions, no Social Security, and no retirement savings accounts in the 18th century.

• Family Dependency: If an elderly person became completely incapacitated, they relied entirely on their children or extended family for care. • The "Poor House": For those without family or property, the options were grim. They often had to rely on local community charity or ended up in local poorhouses.

3. The Shift to Modern Retirement

Retirement as a mass phenomenon only emerged much later with the Industrial Revolution in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. When workers transitioned from family farms to urban factories, older individuals could no longer keep up with the grueling speed of assembly lines. This shift forced companies and the government to invent pensions and retirement ages to transition older generations out of the industrial workforce.

Islamo socialist immigrant Hasan Piker's Vile Immigration Rant Resurfaces: ‘They’re Gonna F*** Your Sister …’ “We’re going to destroy the white race, B*..

This is the darling of Abdul El Sayed and DSA.

Hasan Piker’s Vile Immigration Rant Resurfaces: ‘They’re Gonna F*** Your Sister …’ “We’re going to destroy the white race, B*tch. That’s what we’re here to do.”

Posted by Elizabeth Stauffer. Saturday, August 8, 2026.

Hasan Piker is a pig of a man.

Just as radio personality Howard Stern built a national following by trafficking in provocative, offensive, and sexually explicit material, Piker has fashioned himself into the political equivalent of a shock jock.

Suddenly, the antisemitic Marxist streamer, who was unknown to most in the political world until New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s November victory, is everywhere. And he got there using Stern’s playbook.

Although Piker has made countless incendiary remarks over the years, an old clip of him ranting about immigration that resurfaced on Friday may be the most incendiary of them all.

[Note: Language warning.]

He said:

We’re gonna keep bringing in immigrants to this country — on purpose — so they can f*** your sister and then maybe even your daughter.

We’re going to destroy the white race, B*tch. That’s what we’re here to do.

OLD HASAN CLIP HAS RESURFACED:

“We want more immigrants to come into your countries and then they’re gonna fuck your sisters and then your daughters.”

“We’re here to Destroy the White Race, Bitch.”

This man is a disgrace, yet Democrats have spent the past nine months elevating him to something approaching guru status. This has been an entirely unforced error.

Attorney and Army veteran David Urban posted a montage on X that he said every black voter in America should see. Piker is heard saying, “I don’t give a f*** what black people care about” and “Let’s go back to a better time, when lynchings were happening.”

He also advocates for political violence, which is not a surprise given that he believes America deserved the 9/11 attacks.

In September, he told viewers to “kill” conservatives: “You need to be gutting them. You need to be shanking these motherf***ers and letting their intestines just writhe on stage. … Slice ’em up. Slice ’em and f***in’ dice ’em. …”

For someone who dishes it out as freely as Piker does, he appears to have a remarkably low tolerance for criticism or for perceived threats directed at him — as his recent public spat with outspoken MAGA supporter Laura Loomer has demonstrated.

Loomer wrote on X, “One of these days Hasan Piker is going to talk sh** to the wrong person. And then I’m going to make that person a Give Send Go.”

Piker responded, “prominent maga crazy laura loomer, actively contracting a hit out on me.”

The steady stream of inflammatory soundbites from this arrogant, vulgar man, compounded by the repugnant remarks from his past that continue to resurface, is reaching critical mass. Piker is quickly becoming a major political liability for the party. Yet aside from Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), no Democrat has had the stones to say so.

To the contrary, he is cast as a progressive icon. He’s been a featured speaker at countless Democratic campaign rallies this election cycle, where he can be counted on to spew the most radical views, which are always laced with copious amounts of profanity — because, apparently, that’s what passes for a young and hip voice in today’s Democratic Party.

In response to Piker’s latest resurfaced clip, conservative Fox News host Mark Levin noted, “How about this one? Is the Democrat Party ok with this?”

Levin asks the question that every prominent Democrat should be asked? Are you okay with Hasan Piker, a profane socialist punk, becoming the face of your party?

Perhaps they are, although they shouldn’t be. The average American is likely to be just as uncomfortable with the slick, trash-talking Piker as with the socialist candidates he champions.

Even Hillary Clinton gets it. During a discussion about the challenge of persuading Haley Stevens’ supporters to rally behind Michigan’s new Democratic Senate nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, Clinton warned that Republicans will use the party’s enthusiastic embrace of socialism against them in November.

Clinton said, “It’s not just about Michigan — but the Republican messaging is: ‘communist, socialist.’ It’s gonna be a VERY effective attack.”

Polls were always a debatable proposition, but lately, like everything in politics, they’ve gotten worse. The Dem primary polls promising big wins by (Framcesca) Hong and (Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed in Wisconsin and Michigan were, as the actual races showed, exercises in voter suppression.

Now the company behind at least one of them got caught and is admitting to having put out a fake poll.

Theory of Relativity fallacies

Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity has been shown to be fallacious recently.

One of the key assumptions, the constancy of the speed of light, has been shown to have no empirical basis.

Einstein based Relativity on what he declared to be his own willingness to believe a certain interpretation of the Michelson-Morley experiment, of which other interpretations exist.. Einstein wasn't willing to regard it as just a hypothesis, even if scientific discretion called for it.

E=mc²

E=mc² has taken it on the chin as well. It seems that this formula was originally determined to measure the kinetic energy of physical waves. Henri Poincaré speculated that subatomic particles traveled in waves, so he backfigured the mass of those particles from the kinetic energy that would be given if the particles moved as waves, if I am reading the story right.

Einstein made the illicit conversion that the formula applied to mass generally, and I am given to understand that he never returned to the wave property to which the formula was only originally meant to apply, regardless of whether he believed at any given time that a wave-medium that the "ether" was meant to represent existed or not.

A craving for relativity

Persons who want to believe their beliefs are just "relative" and not adverse apparently crave the ability to be able to point to something in nature that reflects that and may take a hysterical leap that underlying formulas that support that "relativity" must be true without due consideration.

Eddington's supposed "proof" of relativity came a short time after World War I where a ham-fisted verification in nature that national loyalties were only relative to some other standard that could be later manipulated by future select politicians would have been greatly desirable by Communists and various academic eggheads.

This continued to the present day where it's used to justify suppressing free speech, as being imposed as a reflection in nature in opposition to those who call same-sex marriage contrary to the justice that regards same-sex attachments as unequal and/or adverse to heterosexual ones. VargasMilan (talk) Friday, 14:13, August 14, 2026 (EDT)

I was wrong.

Hey, remember when I said it was Joe Biden who began the process of formally designating scapegoat nations as peacetime "foreign adversaries" in anticipation of the at this point inevitable World War? Well, I was wrong. It was actually Donald Trump. The earliest version of the Federal Regulation containing this list is dated March 22, 2021, about two months into Biden's term. However, that Federal Regulation was drafted in pursuance to an earlier interim rule dated January 19, 2021, the day before Trump left office. Which in turn was drafted to enforce Executive Order 13873, which was signed by Trump on May 15, 2019. In other words, Trump lit the fuse by signing that executive order, likely upon the advice of people like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo. He then (presumably) ordered Wilbur Ross to implement the interim rule in pursuance to that executive order. As Trump's term expired before the interim rule could be finalized, Biden could have easily ordered either Karen Dunn Kelley, Wynn Coggins, or Gina Raimondo to terminate that interim rule. But he didn't. Because like Trump before (and after) him, Biden preferred to defer to the Deep State on the most important foreign policy issues. It's hardly an exaggeration at this point to say that Trump and Biden's foreign policies are one and the same, with only cosmetic differences depending on which party is in office. God Help America.--Geopolitician (talk) 00:05, August 17, 2026 (EDT)

IMO, Trump impeachment 1.0 scared the hell out of Trump, even after he was fully exonerated of the Russia hoax. He then realized the Deep State would not quit because he denied Zelensky weapons.

I'm not sure you can lay the Jan 19, 2021 E.O. on Trump's doorstep, other than by negligence. There's always a rush to get things done before leaving the White House, and nobody is going to be around for the blowback.

This instance calls to mind Obama rescinding an E.O. that banned gain of function research in the US days before leaving office. The ban is why Fauci moved the research to Wuhan, China. In both cases, political machinations of lower-level White House operatives may be at work, and neither Trump nor Obama personally may have been aware since the normal review process is disrupted in the rush to get things done.

Now in the case of renewing the FISA warrant for 90 days on President-elect Donald Trump on January 12, 2017, Obama most certainly was aware on January 6 when he gave instructions to do it "by the book". My point is, a President leaving office may be more focused on political enemies than on any real policy decision.

Iran, however, continues to refuse reopening the Strait of Hormuz or return to negotiations unless Trump agrees to all of Iran’s conditions, including $300 billion in US compensation, the lifting of all US sanctions, the release of all Iranian frozen assets, and the end of the US naval blockade of Iran.

Why Russian sanctions are in trouble right now

Ukraine is landlocked. All its port access to the Black Sea has been cut off. It cannot export grain. Its agricultural sector is collapsing. Russia has assured the Global South it will pick up the contracts and supply them with the shortfall due to Ukraine's collapsing exports.

There's a global food & fertilizer crisis due to Russian sanctions and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. So the nations of the Global South are faced with (a) letting their populations starve, or (b) violating US & EU economic sanctions and buying Russian grain (thus expanding Russia's trade surplus and fueling Russia's "war machine").

My bet is that, on balance, grain importers will opt for the second choice, telling US & globalist warmongers to go to hell. RobS^{Do heterosexual normies spend 20 yrs obsessing over gay bars, bathhouses and drag queens?} 14:26, August 24, 2026 (EDT)

Tyler Robinson's Defense Team Just Threw Candace Owens Under the Bus. (We're not talking to unstable people, crazies out there)

Townhall| 08/26/2026 | Amy Curtis.

As Tyler Robinson's defense team prepares for a ruling on whether or not their client will face trial for the assassination of Charlie Kirk, they've now been reduced to pushing back against the online conspiracy theorists like Candace Owens who claim that Robinson was not Kirk's alleged killer.

A couple of weeks ago, the defense filed a motion arguing the case shouldn't qualify for the death penalty because Robinson didn't intend to hurt anyone other than Kirk. Absent from that motion were any of the arguments and so-called evidence laid out by Owens and the rest.

Now another transcript from the court, the Robinson defense team is distancing itself from the "crazies."

Tyler Robinson’s own defense attorney just publicly clapped the entire Candace Owens–Baron Coleman podcast industrial complex.

Criticism of Dr. Miklós Nyiszli or Dr. Felix Kersten comes from people who just haven't read their books or lack understanding of the true extent of the Holocaust.

A conversation between Mearsheimer and Diesen

Diesen: [During the Cold War ] global communism was a real threat. It was a real problem. But I remember during the [2014] Olympics in Russia, we had to go sanction them and boycott because they didn't have sufficient gay rights when they embraced this conservatism. [bolden added] It just looks like the challenges we had during the Cold War versus now, we are making up problems where it didn't have to exist,... Mearsheimer: I give you my take on that cuz I think about the issue you're raising a lot. And I think the problem today is that most of the elites, most of the Western elites just doesn't understand basic balance of power politics. And that's another way of saying, this is maybe a bit too extreme, but they just don't understand. Most people in foreign policy elites in the West don't understand Great Power politics. They don't understand the essence of international relations.

Negligence does not absolve you of a war crime

The few Patriot missiles Ukraine was able to scrounge up were stored in a warehouse in a residential area of Kyiv using civilians as a human shield. Zelensky calls it "negligence" when the warehouse was hit and at least 37 civilians killed. It's still a war crime.

• Glenn Diesen:

Russian strikes have destroyed 90% of Ukraine's modern storage facilities for various types of goods, according to Ukraine's Agricultural Minister Taras Vysotsky. Russia did not hit these targets on such a scale before NATO / Ukraine started their deep strikes against warehouses in Russia. Similarly, Russia did not have a blockade on Ukrainian ports before NATO / Ukraine started attacking Russian ships. Now, Russia is hitting everything. Why escalate by targeting civilian infrastructure in Russia when Russia has many times more air power and Ukraine does not have air defence? There is no reflection over these decisions, and there is therefore no course correction. The political-media establishment in NATO always pivot from excitement during reckless escalation, to shedding crocodile tears when the retaliation comes. Announce an end to NATO expansionism and put an end to this disastrous war. [89]

Comment: The NATO decision to escalate the war into Russia against civilian infrastructure is reminiscent of Hitler's decision to escalate a losing war with so-call "Vengeance weapons" against London in late 1944.

Bessent tries to make Zelensky the fall guy for rising gas prices

"Russia faces a fundamental asymmetry as it seeks to beat Ukraine into submission with intensifying airstrikes on shopping malls, power stations, ports and other infrastructure. Kyiv can rely on a secure hinterland beyond its borders—its European neighbors—for economic resilience and for military logistics.

The Kremlin, whose refineries, ports and defense industries are also under attack by Ukrainian missiles and drones, has no such backup. Hits to Russia’s militarized economy translate more directly into damage to the country’s ability to keep the war going." - Wall Street Journal, August 30, 2026.

• Bloomberg News: Secretary of the Treasury Bessent Blames High Energy Prices on Ukraine’s Russia Strikes, Sep 2, 2026.

Gee whiz, according to User:Conservative, Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries are the best thing since sliced bread. Either way, the Iran war or Ukraine aid, it's User:Conservative's own government causing high inflation, the fall in US living standards, the defeat of the GOP in 2026 Midterms, the takeover by the DSA, etc etc etc. I've told him a thousand times, "when you don't know what your talking about, it's best to just STFU."

A bad energy-price headline doesn't flip the fundamentals. US GDP per capita is ~6x Russia's (That is nominal GDP per capita. On a PPP basis, it is still twice as high). The US has enforceable contracts, real capital markets, and a diversified economy — Russia's is a sanctioned commodity economy where the state can seize your business on a whim. Inflation cycles come and go; structural advantages don't. If you think Russia's a better bet for building income than the US, that's not politics, that's just being wrong about economics.

In addition, I stand by my position of Ukraine's right to defend itself against Russian imperialism. Conservative (talk) 22:25, September 3, 2026 (EDT)

duh, Financial Times:

American intelligence shared with Kyiv has enabled strikes on important Russian energy assets including oil refineries far beyond the frontline, according to multiple Ukrainian and US officials familiar with the campaign. The previously unreported support has intensified since midsummer and has been crucial in helping Ukraine carry out attacks that Joe Biden’s White House discouraged.

BTW, Where's my tariff dividend check? I need it to pay for gas and groceries.

idiocy is not a replacement for strategy

To address User:Conservative's "argument", let's first examine the Vietnam war, and then the Afghan war.

Both wars occupy 30 years out of 57 years, between 1964 and 2021.

In the case of Vietnam, US GDP was 500 times larger than Vietnam at both the start and end of the war, and the US spent more on the war than the entire GDP of Vietnam over 10 years, yet got its butt handed to it.

Note: Communist North Vietnam was much better at controlling inflation in the war torn country over 10 years, as inflation rose only 20% as measured by per capita income. Whereas in America, inflation rose in excess of 100% as measured by per capita income. The vast majority of Americans who lived through the ordeal did not feel better off or more prosperous in 1974 than in 1964, when their income was reported as less than half. It was the result of Keynesian economics.

Keynesian Economics was "the dominant economic paradigm from the 1940s to the 1970s." It is associated with the ideas of the incompetent British economist and pedophile John Maynard Keynes.

Chart of the growth of U.S. GNP from January 1947 to January 2023.

User:Conservative, an apologist for Bidenism & Keynesianism, asserts "A great strength of the United States is its very consistent growth of its GNP over decades and its quick recovery the few times its GNP has gone down. See also Economic stimulus.

The Vietnam and Afghan wars occupy 30 of 57 years between 1964 and 2021.

Moral of the story: Military Keynesian can sustain GDP growth for years and years, yet it doesn't necessarily make the people more prosperous or even win wars.

Now, need I continue with Afghanistan....

Candace Owens problem isn't far right, but her antisemitism motivated to spread wild theories and revision history about Mengele among others - isTelling (talk) 01:00, September 9, 2026 (EDT)

For the record: The ambiguous victim: Miklós Nyiszli's narrative of medical experimentation in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Key takeaways Nyiszli's memoirs illustrate the complex bond of complicity between victims and perpetrators in Auschwitz. The text critically evaluates the ethical dilemmas faced by Jewish inmate physicians like Nyiszli. Nyiszli uniquely documents SS medical experiments, particularly those led by Josef Mengele. His experiences highlight the moral ambiguities within the 'Grey Zone' of survival. The author argues for a reevaluation of Nyiszli's contributions to Holocaust literature and medical ethics. [bolden added]

Nyiszli’s memoirs are rarely discussed as a contribution to the Jewish experience of the Holocaust, next to other letters, diaries and memoirs. For instance, Nyiszli does not appear as a Jewish author in the two-volume Holocaust Literature: An Encyclopedia of Writers and Their Work, edited by S. Lillian Kramer in 2002. [bolden added]

Fragments from the 1946 Hungarian edition of the memoirs were first published in Jean- Paul Sartre’s monthly review, Les Temps Modernes, in 1951, which was followed immediately by an English translation in the avant-garde journal Merlin under the title “SS Obersturmführer Doktor Mengele.” 33 The same translator produced a full English version of the memoirs in 1960 under the title Auschwitz: A Doctor’s Eyewitness Account.

Simon Wiesenthal used Dr. Nyiszli's account to form the basis of Chapter 9 "The Man Who Collected Blue Eyes" for his book The Murderers Among Us in 1967, which made Mengele the most wanted living Nazi after the 1962-1963 capture and trial of Adolf Eichmann.

Questionoing Nyiszli's account didn't begin with Owens. Why was Nyiszli left out of the 2002 encyclopedia of Holocaust Literature? And Wikipedia still claims Nyiszli "volunteered" to work with Mengele. Nyiszli says in his sworn account his choice was to work in the pathology lab with Mengele or go straight to the gas chambers off the train.

Personal remark: Yes, without going into details, I can understand why Nyiszli was left out of the 2002 Encyclopedia, although I think it was a horrible decision. It has led to questions about Nyiszli's veracity, and by extension even Simon Weisenthal. And now using that decision to criticize Candace Owens seems like a cheap shot, and actually sets back Holocaust education.

The word "anti-Semitism" mistakes what is just a property for what is the essence of Judaism. Judaism both admitted neighboring nations' religious sensibilities, which God told them not to do, and rejected Christ, who was predicted by Jeremiah, amongst others, to establish a New Covenant.

That Semites preponderated in the remaining Judeans was an accident of history. Jesus sought to establish His Kingdom through the Temple, and had the Sanhedrin accepted Him, He would have attained a reign with Semitic history at its center as having culminated in His rule, and those adhering to the Old Testament may very well have admitted more outsiders beyond the Semitic race. For example, there's a certain psalm that seems to be an oath spoken by outsiders seeking assimilation. Those who prefer Christianity to Judaism and resent Judaism's influence in excess of their desert don't oppose them on the basis of their racial composition, or at the very least, not many of them do.

So by smearing all critics of Judaism with the name "anti-Semite", it pictures them all as corrupt and, in fact, treats those most deserving of respect for their intelligent criticism the worst! VargasMilan (talk) Sunday, 17:17, September 27, 2026 (EDT)

Anti-Israel Insurgents Fall Flat in Massachusetts Democratic Primaries (including propagating |Genolie)

Anti-Israel Insurgents Fall Flat in Massachusetts Democratic Primaries. By Corey Walker. Sep 2, 2026. A trio of hardline anti-Israel candidates lost in Massachusetts on Tuesday night, representing a blow to the broader movement against the Jewish state within the Democratic Party.

Progressive candidates Jeromie Whalen, Tram Nguyen, and Craig Swallow were defeated by establishment Democrats in Tuesday night’s contests. In each race, the progressive insurgents attempted to weaponize Israel and alleged connections to the America Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) against their moderate opponents.

Rep. Richard Neal, who represents the 1st District of Massachusetts, successfully beat back a challenge by left-wing opposition Jeromie Whalen, who attempted to cast Neal as part of an out-of-touch establishment elite beholden to corporate interests.

Newscasters bent over backwards asking the American people not to loop ordinary Muslims in with the terrorists, and that excess was a form of the political correctness of which Coulter spoke. America doesn't have a mob mentality except the Democrats, whose representatives are indifferent to or in favor of the destruction of America. Coulter wrote about that too in her book, Demonic.

Never Forget 9/11 TownHall | 9/08/2026 | Cal Thomas

“

I was sitting in my home office not far from the Pentagon when it happened. The TV behind me had the sound lowered, but I suddenly became aware of a major development. I reached for the remote and cranked up the audio. A plane had struck one of the twin towers in New York. TV anchors initially speculated it must have been a small plane that had run off course, but a much larger plane struck the building, and then a second one hit the other tower. It quickly became clear America was under attack. I saw smoke rising from the Pentagon and went up on the roof to get a better look. My son, who was a firefighter, later told me he pulled bodies out of the wreckage. He still doesn't like to talk about it, likely because of the horrible experience. Later, United Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, because of the bravery of Todd Beamer, who led other passengers and crew in a revolt that stopped the hijackers from possibly hitting the White House or Capitol Building. I wrote six columns in a row and many others following that modern day of infamy. Here are some excerpts that ring true 25 years later. A plane had struck one of the twin towers in New York.

I wrote six columns in a row and many others following that modern day of infamy. Here are some excerpts that ring true 25 years later. On the day of the terrorist attacks, I wrote: "It brings into clear focus the state of war that has existed for some time between America and those who oppose our values and way of life." I called for the expulsion of people and organizations with ties to radical terrorist groups. Unfortunately, that did not happen, and the threat from within remains and appears to be growing. There are still unanswered questions about how those attacks were allowed to happen. It didn't take long before the "blame America first" crowd was heard from. They are still around, as we see in the current election cycle. The Mufti of Jerusalem had recently called on Allah to destroy America, which he said "is controlled by Zionist Jews." Nothing has changed, and antisemitism has gotten worse. I noted that in many Muslim schools, hatred for Jews and the U.S. is drummed into children from the earliest grades. A 7th-grade Palestinian textbook said: "(Islam) will defeat all other religions and it will be disseminated, by Allah's will, through the Muslim Jihad fighters." Something else died on 9/11 besides the deaths of 2,977 people. I wrote it was the doctrine of moral equivalency — the idea that people everywhere are just like us or can be made so by acquiescing to their demands. Unfortunately, that flawed line of thinking continues to exist (consider those making such a case in the Iran war). Unfortunately, that worldview is still alive. The moral equivalency crowd, I wrote, will try to wear down our resolve. They have lost all credibility, just as the "peace in our time" crowd did shortly after Pearl Harbor and America's entry into World War II. Energy independence, I said, would free us from the grip of the Middle East. That, too, has not yet been achieved. I was fortunate to be able to visit Ground Zero when others were barred. A friend knew the fire chief, who let us into a roped- off area. Three images I shall never forget: the blocks and blocks of store windows with pictures of the missing and pleas for help in finding them; the parked cars that were filled inside with dust from the collapse of the buildings; an unopened soft drink bottle lying in the debris. I have kept the hard hat they made us wear, on which I wrote "NYC 9/11/2001." A New York City police officer gestured at the ruins and said: "Look at this. Here is the result of years of illegal immigration, softness on crime, cutting the defense budget, and lack of attention to right and wrong in this country." Not a bad summation. It's easy to say "never forget," but each generation must be taught to remember, and one generation has been born since 9/11, and others were too young at the time. Most importantly, it depends on who is teaching the history and whether that teaching is based on facts or if it is filtered through the teacher's own biases.

“	Every time a refinery is blown up in Russia with the assistance of NATO targeting provided by Western intelligence services, the CIA, MI6 and others, the Russians are reminded that they cannot tolerate hostile foreign forces in Ukraine. That was the basis for their, I think ill-considered but inevitable decision to invade in February of 2022.	”
—Amb. Chas Freeman

Since diesel fuels the Western consumer-driven economies that fund missile and drone attacks in Russia, Russia would be as stupid and lacking in geostrategic analytical abilities as User:Conservative if it did not embargo diesel sales to hostile nations. So Trump's claim about losing Russian diesel for "the world" is intended for the rather simple-minded and naive.

Instead of the "we are all advocates of the incompetent pedophile Keynes now," make that "we are all globalists now." RobS^{Do heterosexual normies spend 20 yrs obsessing over gay bars, bathhouses and drag queens?} 14:52, September 14, 2026 (EDT)

30 days before the midterms...

As of 6:00 PM today, exactly 30 days to the minute before the first polls close on Election Day, the betting market odds are as follows:

HOUSE - 91.1% chance the Democrats take the House.

SENATE - 64.7% chance the Democrats take the Senate. Five Senate seats are projected to flip from Republican to Democrat: Alaska, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas.

GOVERNORSHIPS - Four governorships are projected to flip from Republican to Democrat: Alaska, Iowa, Nevada, and Ohio. Meanwhile, one governorship is projected to flip from Republican to Democrat: Kansas. With a net loss of three governorships for the Republicans the Democrats would control a majority of them for the first time since 2010.

1. it’s reasonable to assume that the total number of terrorist operatives from all organizations killed in the war reaches about 30,000.

2. Beyond combatants, throughout the war, there were likely to be around 11,000 natural deaths, based on pre-war patterns. Another 4,000 deaths were caused by internal fighting within Gaza from different factions, including firing on civilians at aid sites or executions of individuals Hamas deemed to be collaborating with Israel. An additional 1,000 estimated deaths can be attributed to errors in reporting.

Racist Arab Supremacist el-Sayed against Arab women mating non-Arabs, question of GENES

Abdul El-Sayed slammed for ‘racist’ Columbia research paper he wrote concluding Arab women should mate with their own. By Gabrielle Fahmy. Published Oct. 17, 2026.

Left-wing Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is being slammed over a resurfaced Columbia University research paper he authored with a “racist and eugenics outcome” that concluded Arab women should only breed with their own kind for optimal health outcomes.

El-Sayed — who has repeatedly called himself a physician though he never completed his medical school residency — warned in the 2011 paper published in the “Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health” of the hazards of “interethnic mating” — which he insisted increased the risk of children being born premature.

“Our findings suggest that interethnic mating may be associated with increased risk for adverse birth outcomes among Arab ethnicity mothers,” he stated, back then going by Abdulrahman M. El-Sayed.

El-Sayed published a 2011 paper titled “Interethnic mating and risk for preterm birth among Arab American mothers.”

El-Sayed began the paper, titled “Interethnic mating and risk for preterm birth among Arab American mothers,” with the bold claim that Arab mothers, “a growing ethnic group,” have “systematically better birth outcomes” than white mothers.

He said American Arab women were 16% less likely than white women to give birth prematurely, citing his own research from 2008, while omitting to mention that same study found the gap disappeared after adjusting for maternal and socioeconomic factors.

The research, funded in part by NIH grants, concluded that Arab women having children with white men was linked to 18% higher odds of preterm birth — below 37 weeks — and 24% higher odds of late preterm birth — between 34 and 36 weeks — compared to having a child with an Arab father.

The study found no statistically significant difference in very preterm birth, before 32 weeks, based on whether the father was Arab or white, but didn’t spend much ink dwelling on that finding.

Critics savaged the paper as pseudoscience.

“This is ‘science’ with “a pre-ordained racist & eugenics outcome,” wrote Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.) on X. “Scary stuff.”

Others wondered what the radical Democrat’s real motivation was to even research the topic.

Elon Musk has a message for Fedorov, Zelensky, and User:Conservative

Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be. Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them. Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week. Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact. Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia. SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.

it's not just immigrants or Leftists / Yet, its not just economics: Islamist/Socialist simmering

Stockman's take: Back To The 1940 Future—Why France Is Toast And Not Alone.

When you inquire as to the reasons for the truly nihilistic mobs rampaging across the towns and cities of France, however, you initially get answers that are far too superficial. That is, the current uprisings are blamed on unassimilated immigrants, inherently evil “leftists” and economically dispossessed and culturally deracinated youth. This may be. But these are symptoms, not causes. The real cause is that crushing taxes, easy welfare and evaporating birth rates among the native population in France—and much of the West as we amplify below—are denuding the French economy of growth and opportunity. At the same time, the socio-economic vacuums are being filled with welfare and segregated populations of largely disadvantaged immigrants.

The unrest isn't going to stop anytime soon. Zelensky hopping on a plane to flee Kyiv would be a good sign, but it wouldn't end Europe's expensive re-militarization process, at least not immediately.

• Is The U.S. Shifting Course?:

The U.S. is actually drawing closer to Russia in order to still have a foothold in the Middle East, which it will soon lose. Europe is left behind and will later be bought out by the U.S. for a song. The blood in the veins of the European peoples is beginning to boil: No one told them that they would be doomed because of their aggressive stance toward Russia. The unrest in France, Italy, and Albania is proof of this—it will spread both geographically and in intensity.

The Bankrupt Imperium: How Three Fronts Break the Post-2008 Financial Order.

The public rage spilling into European streets is driven by a population forced to endure austerity to fund an unviable proxy crusade on the eastern steppe. When the costs of servicing national debt eclipse the defense budget, an empire can no longer fund simultaneous proxy wars in Eastern Europe, Southwest Asia, and the Red Sea. The binary economy of the unipolar world—where an insulated financial oligarchy amasses private fortunes while the general population lives under inflation and precarious wages—cannot survive a triple-front resource war against sovereign powers controlling real commodities.

Bottomline, Europeans' cost of living is squeezed by the outflow of funds for Ukraine aid on the one hand, and energy inflation as a result of Russian sanctions and Trump's Iran war on the other.

• NYT: It’s Not Just France. Europe’s Political Center Is Crumbling.

The mass riots in France, which started as protests over underfunded schools, are a shocking example. But the phenomenon has been building for years, with the perceived failure of liberal democracy to make good on its promises of a better future, especially for the young and the salaried working class. There is a growing perception among many Europeans that traditional parties of the center-left and center-right do not offer real alternatives and are led by an educated elite that has lost its connection to the poor, the workers and the young. Facing rising deficits, expenses and interest rates, governments feel constrained in what they can do to respond.

• JtN: Debt, disorder and open borders: a midterm consideration across the Atlantic. As riots and a historic debt crisis both grip France, critics warn that the Democratic Party’s progressive wing is pushing the U.S. toward the same mix of runaway spending, loose borders and street disorder. Social media and some news outlets have widely shared videos of the purported students rioting while waving and wearing Palestinian flags.

Ukraine and the Arab-Israeli two-state solution

Actually, what you are seeing is the same issue at work. The issue of sovereignty and the "right" of a sovereign nation to choose its own military allies and alliances.

The recent controversy over Starlink also illustrated why the Russians opposed NATO presence in Ukraine. Moscow would have only four minutes warning if NATO/Ukraine launched a nuke toward the capital of the Russian Federation. In recent days, Zelensky lied about Trump shutting off Starlink (in an effort to interfere in US elections) - and shut the system off himself. Consequently, there was no four minute warning to the civilian population of incoming ballistic missiles from Russia to Kyiv.

The issue has long been the same in Israel/Palestine. If a "Palestinian State" had the "sovereign right" to choose its own allies, the distance and amount of time a missile can travel from Gaza or East Jerusalem to Tel Aviv is much less than the distance of Moscow to Kyiv. Foghorn Leghorn^{Do normal heterosexuals spend 20 yrs obsessing over gay bars, bathhouses and drag queens?} 12:00, October 25, 2026 (EDT)

What we have is typical or classic Western hypocrisy; While Ukraine supposedly has the sovereign right of "self-determination" to choose its own military allies, even if it openly threatens a nuclear armed neighbor, Palestine is denied the same "sovereign right".

So what do we do? Apply the Ukrainian solution to Palestine or the Palestinian solution to Ukraine? (Note: Both Russia and Israel deny "Palestine" or "Ukraine" exist.)

A Wild and Improbable Story Hits Israel. Arabs voting in the Jewish state is not an argument. It’s a story. A real story. The most antisemitic media outlet on the planet has no choice but to tell that story

David Suissa:

“

Who could have written this script? The most condemned nation on earth, the one accused of a genocideGaza GenoLIE against an Arab population, holds a national election and its own Arab population can determine who will lead the country. Let that sink in. The country accused of apartheid Apartheid slur against Arabs empowers Arabs to directly influence its future. I don’t care if you’re right or left, religious or secular, Jewish or non-Jewish. I don’t care if you follow the news, or if you live in Israel or the diaspora. I live in Los Angeles, and here, we live for stories. I can’t recall a more unlikely Israel story. While Jews have been obsessing over Jewish stories in the Jewish state—Haredi Jews refusing to serve in the military, Jewish military leaders fighting wars, Jewish settlers fighting in Judea and Samaria, Jewish members of parliament fighting other Jewish members, Jewish candidates fighting other Jewish candidates, Jewish demonstrators protesting Jewish leaders—suddenly, out of the corner of our eye, a whole other group rises up on Election Day and votes in record numbers. Israeli Arabs. It turns out that claim about Israel being a democracy wasn’t just shameless propaganda from clever influencers. It turns out the two million Arabs who live in the world’s only Jewish state really do have the right to vote. In fact, so many of them voted yesterday that they stopped Jewish blocks from having a majority. In Israeli elections, blocks are everything. A block needs a majority of 61 seats to form a government. Right now, the two Jewish blocks—Netanyahu and Eisenkot—have 52 and 49 seats, respectively. Did I mention there’s an Arab block that gained a record 19 seats? This Arab block now has the power to take one of the Jewish blocks over the top. Whether it happens or not, it’s worth repeating: The country accused of genocide against Arabs has empowered Arabs to influence its electoral politics. If you’re into PR, that’s an unbeatable story, especially for a country under a genocidal siege. In recent years, the pro-Israel community has invested enormous resources to counter the genocide libel. It has barely made a dent. That’s the problem with arguments, even the most compelling ones. They’re still arguments. Arabs voting in the Jewish state is not an argument. It’s a story. A real story. The most antisemitic media outlet on the planet has no choice but to tell that story. We don’t know yet where that story goes. In Israeli politics, it’s common to talk about a “Zionist coalition,” a polite way of saying “Arab parties not welcome.” In truth, the presence of Israeli citizens who are against the notion of a Jewish state has always been one of Israel’s most vexing issues. Excluding Arab parties from a governing coalition has simply been the norm. As Tomer Persico writes on X, “Most Zionist parties refuse to see Arab parties as legitimate partners, and most Arab parties refuse to bear responsibility for the governance of a state that is also the nation-state of the Jewish people.” That’s the reality. Hardly anyone thinks Israel can have a stable government that includes Arab parties. At the same time, there’s a huge appetite right now for victory among the two Jewish blocks. Will these Jewish blocks be tempted to reach out to Arab parties? Will they hold firm and keep Arabs out? Will they fight among themselves to get a Zionist majority? If all that fails, will we see another election? These are the burning questions that will hold our attention over the next few days and weeks. But somewhere in a Hollywood café, I wouldn’t be surprised if a writer who likes to dream is pondering a script about a wild and improbable story coming out of Israel. It wouldn’t be the first time.
