I first began having doubts about Putin in 2008 when Putin's inattention to Washington's preparation of the Georgian army for an invasion of South Ossetia forced Russia into a war with a former Russian province. Clearly Russian intelligence was useless or ignored.
My doubts grew substantially in 2014 when Putin sat on his butt while Washington overthrew the Russian-friendly government in Ukraine.

Not long ago, Iran was described as an imminent threat.
Now we are told it wasn't a threat at all.
What changed?
Not the facts. The politics.
That shift is playing out in real time as the narrative around the Iran war evolves. A recent Rasmussen Reports poll found that a majority of likely U.S. voters believe the conflict has been successful so far.

The U.S. government claims that it had launched a large rescue mission near Isfahan, Iran, to retrieve the weapon officer of an F-15 airplane which was downed while it was bombing that country.
When I read the first version of that story I replied:

Due to the policies of Donald Trump, the US is now the world's largest producer of both crude oil and natural gas and the disruption of the Strait of Hormuz is triggering a reorientation of global energy systems toward North America.
An informal analysis of these events that's being called "The Hybrid Petro-LNG Dollar & the AI Energy Map" and being attributed to Argentinean tech entrepreneur and investor, Martin Varsavsky went viral last week.

I have yet to hear one person who was wrong about "COVID" apologize for being wrong. Specifically, the people who were stridently wrong about the wearing of "masks" and the other forms of Sickness Kabuki that they insisted others perform. Trump is of course the obvious and most egregious non-apologizer because an open admission from him that he was wrong about "COVID" - and about Warp Speeding those "beautiful" drugs that were pushed on people like no street drugs have ever been pushed - would go a long way toward being able to forgive what was done to us and also would serve to assure such a thing is never done to us again.

When Warnings Sounded Like Exaggerations
There is a strange pattern in history that becomes visible only after events have already unfolded: the people who understand what is coming are almost always the ones ignored the longest. They are not ignored because they lack intelligence, credibility, or experience, but because what they say is uncomfortable during times of apparent prosperity.
Without an interior life of love, prayer, sacrifice, and repentance, even sound doctrine can't stop the moral collapse and spiritual bankruptcy in the Church.

have just finished reading an excellent symposium written by contemporary Catholic Scholastic Theologians. Each, in their own way, tried to detail what they believe is the greatest threat to the Catholic Faith in the modern world.

Sono passati ormai 27 anni dall'aggressione della NATO alla Federazione Jugoslava di Serbia e Montenegro nel marzo 1999, eppure la sua importanza nel cambiamento dell'ordine internazionale continua ad essere sottovalutata.
Un processo di disgregazione del diritto iniziato nei primi anni Novanta, quando l'Occidente decise di riconoscere unilateralmente nuove entità statuali sorte dalla disgregazione della Jugoslavia titina come Slovenia, Croazia, Macedonia e Bosnia Erzegovina, fino a culminare nella creazione dello Stato fantoccio del Kosovo.

Israël dispose d'une puissance militaire écrasante, mais le pouvoir moral ancré dans la paix et la justice est totalement absent du sionisme. C'est ce pouvoir qui a inspiré des millions de personnes à scander "Libérez la Palestine" dans les villes du monde entier comme jamais auparavant.
Alors que j'écris cet article au Koweït, j'entends le sifflement des drones qui survolent ma tête, en provenance et à destination de l'Iran, d'Israël et des bases militaires américaines de la région.
