Le civiltà sono in grado di riunire i frammenti delle intuizioni e delle conoscenze del passato per fornire il contesto grazie al quale rendere nuovamente comprensibile il discorso morale?

Il futuro globale viene spesso descritto come quello di un mondo multipolare o multinodale, con il presupposto implicito che gli Stati andrebbero più d'accordo tra loro e risolverebbero le loro divergenze più facilmente attraverso il dialogo piuttosto che con la guerra.

"It should be clear that modern fractional reserve banking is a shell game, a Ponzi scheme, a fraud in which fake warehouse receipts are issued and circulate as equivalent to the cash supposedly represented by the receipts." - Murray N. Rothbard, The Mystery of Banking

It is hard to imagine how President Donald Trump's insane assertions might go beyond the point of being merely demented to something far worse, i.e. catastrophic. Last week provided one such experience when Trump reportedly rushed back from Camp David to the White House so he could contemplate the possibility of "destroying Iran" with the intention of stealing the country's oil just like he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio did in Venezuela after first abducting that country's elected leaders.

Farnaz Fassihi is the New York Times reporter for the United Nations. She often also writes about Iran.

Earlier this month her report How Iran's Hard-Liners Prevailed and Sabotaged U.S. Peace Deal (archived) claimed that that a former official without current responsibilities, one Hussein Taeb, had ordered the bombing of three tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Houthis have not technically seized the entire Red Sea, but that distinction is becoming almost meaningless for Saudi Arabia. Their forces have swept down Yemen's western coastline, taking Mokha, Dhubab, the Hanish islands, and most importantly Mayyun, also known as Perim, sitting directly inside the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. They now control nearly the entire Yemeni coastline along the Red Sea and possess something far more valuable than territory.

"No point is of more importance than that the right of impeachment should be continued. Shall any man be above Justice?"

George Mason

No, no man is above justice, not even Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth equals Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (under President Lyndon Johnson) as one of the very worst defense secretaries America has ever seen.

Song Jian was very good at math.

He was one of China's top missile scientists, and his specialty was the equations that steer a rocket to its target.

In 1978 Song traveled to Helsinki for an engineering conference, where he came across researchers applying the same kind of math to human beings. Their idea was that a country's population could be steered toward a target number, just like a missile.

The eyes of the world have been fixated on the war in Iran for the past six months, meanwhile, the single-most dangerous flashpoint on the planet has gone mostly ignored. Until, that is, waves of Ukrainian drone strikes activated a run on global diesel markets. Suddenly, everyone is paying attention again...

Russia is the second largest diesel exporter in the world next to the United States, supplying around 12% of total global exports (the US supplies 22% of exports).

Over the past few weeks I have randomly come across life stories that I found to be amazing. I thought I would pass them along to you.

A Tragic Love Story

I am watching too many podcasts these days. For geopolitics I am an avid viewer of the Duran which consists of two very unique commentators; the Greek Cypriot Alex Christoforou and the Greek Englishman Alexander Mercouris.

Et c'est reparti. Un nouveau membre de l'entourage restreint du Premier ministre Benjamin Netanyahu vient de rompre le silence. Il s'agit cette fois de Yoav Horowitz, ancien directeur général et chef de cabinet du Premier ministre. Vendredi, il a accordé des interviews aux chaînes 11, 12 et 13, offrant au public un aperçu glaçant des coulisses du pouvoir.
