The Unseen Costs of War on Iran

While events in the unprovoked Israeli-U.S. aggression against Iran remain in flux due mostly to the quixotic, contradictory and downright duplicitous policies and actions of a seemingly mentally unstable American president, it is quite difficult to assess the effects of the war on U.S. and world energy markets and thus their overall economies. What is … Continue reading The Unseen Costs of War on Iran

International Affairs Analyst Says Putin’s Time May Be Winding Down

Vladimir Putin has sky-high presidential approval ratings among Russians (the envy, no doubt, of every Western chief executive).  He recently triumphed at the Alaska summit, where he got President Donald Trump to back off of his demand for a cease fire in Ukraine.  The Russian president’s participation at the 2025 China Victory Day parade further … Continue reading International Affairs Analyst Says Putin’s Time May Be Winding Down

President Trump’s Role in the Ukraine War

With his usual braggadocio, former President Donald Trump has promised that if returned to the White House he would end the Ukraine conflict within hours and claims, as many of his supporters do, that the war would never have taken place had he been in office.  Like most of his campaign promises during his 2016 … Continue reading President Trump’s Role in the Ukraine War

Debt, Death, and the US Empire

Deep State Operative John Bolton In a talk which garnered little attention, one of the Deep State’s prime operatives, National Security Advisor John Bolton, cautioned of the enormous and escalating US debt.  Speaking before the Alexander Hamilton Society, Bolton warned that current US debt levels and public obligations posed an “economic threat” to the nation’s … Continue reading Debt, Death, and the US Empire

In Remembrance of the October Revolution

The Communist monster, Vladimir Lenin This October marks the centennial anniversary of the Bolshevik takeover of Russia and the establishment of Soviet-style Communism which tragically, for the Russian people, would last for some seventy interminable years.  Not only did the Soviet regime liquidate and imprison millions, but its idiotic system of central planning impoverished the … Continue reading In Remembrance of the October Revolution

Donald Trump: Warmonger-in-Chief!

If a world conflagration, God forbid, should break out during the Trump Administration, its genesis will not be too hard to discover: the thin-skinned, immature, shallow, doofus which currently resides in the Oval Office!

Vladimir the Great Sums Up Pope Francis the Fake!

Vladimir Putin has once again demonstrated why he is the most perceptive, farsighted, and for a politician, the most honest world leader to come around in quite a while.  If it had not been for his patient and wise statesmanship, the world may have already been embroiled in an all encompassing global configuration with the … Continue reading Vladimir the Great Sums Up Pope Francis the Fake!

Nikki Haley: Warmonger Extraordinaire!

It must now be a prerequisite of those who become an American ambassador to the UN to possess certain characteristics and traits, the most important of which are rabid warmonger, child killer, and outright liar. Remember it was Madeleine Albright when asked about the US blockading Iraq which prevented medicine and medical equipment from entering … Continue reading Nikki Haley: Warmonger Extraordinaire!

The Cost of a Trump Presidency

Last Thursday's wanton attack on a Syrian air field by the US and its bellicose actions toward North Korea have brought to the forefront the real cost of candidate Trump's landslide victory last November. Unlike most laymen, accountants, and financial analysts, economists look at cost differently.  For economists, cost or more specifically, "opportunity cost," means … Continue reading The Cost of a Trump Presidency

The American Empire and Economic Collapse

Despite the widespread hope among libertarians, classical liberals, non-interventionists, progressive peaceniks, and all those opposed to the US Empire that it may have some of its murderous reins pulled in with the election of Donald Trump, it appears that such optimism has now been dashed.  While the hope for a less meddlesome US foreign policy … Continue reading The American Empire and Economic Collapse
