The West is run by the dumbest leaders ever.

It is a mark of our times that Western leaders are not only the weakest that they have ever been, but they are also the dumbest - with Donald Trump leading the pack. His latest initiative has enraged the business press, who have wheeled out all the experts to shoot it down in flames. Trump wants to limit diesel exports from the U.S., which he believes will drive down diesel pump prices in the U.S., but it is such a stupid idea that many political commentators are pointing out his own level of desperation by playing what one called "an economics game of roulette where if the ball lands on a red number we lose everything".

Alors que les États-Unis continuent de piétiner dans la même impasse lors de leur guerre contre l'Iran, incapables d'accomplir la moindre percée vers la réalisation d'une partie de leurs objectifs, le cercle des évaluations pessimistes américaines s'élargit quant aux performances de l'administration de Donald Trump et aux conséquences catastrophiques qu'elles pourraient entraîner pour le statut et les intérêts de Washington.

Le président américain Donald Trump a annoncé mercredi le départ des derniers soldats américains du sol irakien, confirmant ainsi la fin de la présence militaire de la coalition internationale dans le pays.

"Je suis heureux d'annoncer que les derniers soldats américains quittent l'Irak", a déclaré Trump, ajoutant que "ce retrait ordonné des forces et du m

Qui fait quoi à qui ?

Fut un temps où les États-Unis d'Amérique étaient convaincus que, protégés par de vastes océans à l'est et à l'ouest, et entourés au nord et au sud de pays amis qu'ils dominaient économiquement et militairement, ils seraient à l'abri de toute menace émanant d'une nation étrangère, voire d'une coalition de nations. Washington était convaincu de pouvoir vaincre n'importe quel adversaire dans une guerre conventionnelle et, en cas d'extrême nécessité, sa capacité nucléaire lui conférait un avantage unique et décisif qu'aucun ennemi n'oserait défier, après Hiroshima et Nagasaki.

I am told that the only possible reward for exercising my Constitutional Rights as a patriot writer is a bullet in the head if my writing moves citizens to vote all congressional incumbents in both parties out of office. This is the only solution short of Economic Collapse and Civil War.

I am not brave, just realistic. Being a Disabled Veteran, I would die in great pain without medical care, which Congress is in the process of denying everyone through their ignorance and greed.

Thomas Cromwell was the Lord Chancellor of England for much of the reign of King Henry VIII. He engineered the convictions and executions of many whom Henry wanted out of the way, including his two predecessors in office - one of whom was St. Thomas More - and even the king's second wife, Queen Anne.

When Cromwell's son Gregory, who became sickened as he watched his father devolving from counselor to monster, learned that an executioner for the queen had been sent for from France a week before her trial, he asked his father what the purpose of her trial was if the king had preordained the queen's guilt and prepaid the executioner.

I do not know whether this is a real Trump post or not. The digital revolution has created a world in which we cannot know whether any information we receive from whatever putative source is real or a hoax. Perhaps this was the purpose of the digital revolution and its bastard child AI. We can no longer know what is true. Once again Americans have been deceived.

From the anthrax letter attacks in 2001 to aerosolized Ebola in 2015 to the development of SARS-CoV-2 in years 2014-2019, the culprit was never a dangerous foreigner, but the US "biosecurity state."

Les États-Unis sont devenus une puissance impérialiste qui cherche à envahir et à dominer les pays faibles. Cette tendance a engendré une insécurité mondiale et conduit les États-Unis à perdre des guerres.

En termes de ressources naturelles et de puissance de feu, les États-Unis dominent comme aucun autre pays. Ils disposent de l'armée la plus importante et la plus polyvalente, du plus grand nombre d'armes, ainsi que du plus grand nombre de dispositifs permettant d'espionner et de tuer des personnes à distance.

No one would claim that the Iran War has been a political godsend for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. But some Israel-First conservatives are willing to say-and lately have been incessantly saying-that the Iran War hasn't been a political scourge.

Those Israel-First conservatives are wrong, even if the devil is, at least partly, hidden in the details.

Trump's plan for militarizing the Arctic at the cajoling of Europeans is another ominous sign among many.

And keeping the Western military bloc hard-focused on Russia.

Sur le papier, les États-Unis seraient censés jouer le rôle de soupape de sécurité mondiale dans cette crise du carburant. Les raffineries américaines produisent bien plus de diesel que les Américains n'en consomment. Mais chacun de ces barils est déjà réservé. Entre une demande intérieure en hausse, d'importants engagements à l'exportation et des raffineries fonctionnant à pleine capacité, les États-Unis puisent dans leurs propres stocks, loin de disposer d'un excédent.

"God help the Nation when it has a President who doesn't know as much about the military as I do,"

For those who understand that unlimited federal power is a threat to individual liberty, one area of great concern is the fourteenth amendment's "equal protection" clause. The aim of this amendment was to give the federal government power to "protect" citizens from being discriminated against by their own states.

Under the aegis of the Fourteenth Amendment, the federal government was granted power to enforce racial desegregation in schools and other public institutions.

To summarize the Democrat Party's current strategy on immigration, here is essentially how it works:

Whenever in power, they create billions in incentives and subsidies to entice third-world migrants to flood the US en masse. With open borders and amnesty programs, moving 10 million or more illegals at a time into the country is easy and fast. When out of power, they use lawfare and political obstruction to prevent deportations and slow down the process.

Whenever there's a crisis, you can be sure of one thing: the federal government and its lackeys will come up with an explanation that exonerates it, and will push that version of events until it becomes something "everybody knows."

So "everybody knows" that the reason for the crash of 2008 wasn't federal housing policy or the central bank it gives a monopoly to - why, it was insufficient regulation ! If only we had given the feds power to crack more skulls, we could have avoided it.

Annoncés il y a deux ans, les F-16 belges arriveront finalement en Ukraine d'ici la fin de l'année, mais au compte-gouttes. En raison de retards dans la livraison des nouveaux F-35 américains à Bruxelles, Kiev devra se contenter de trois appareils au lieu des sept initialement prévus, ainsi que de munitions fournies par l'Espagne et Bruxelles.
