To echo the Palmerston quotation, I might add that "Nations don't have interests. People have interests". Usually when governments talk about "national interests" they mean the interests of their rich friends and sponsors. (And themselves, of course).
How could a nation have interests when the interests of some of its citizens are directly opposed to those of others? When Mr Trump advances the "US national interest", he usually helps the rich and their corporations at the expense of the poor - now about half of the citizen body.
Why worry? If anyone complains, he can blame it on China and Russia.
1.5 Trillion dollars to be lost from the US stock market . Plus gas is going up instead of down as he "planned". Civilians will be paying 10-25%more for everything within a few more weeks, IMO he's an bull in a China shop... Only Elon has made some return on his 288million dollar Trump' "bribe/ investment"
I don't like Trump and think he is nothing but an over inflated moron. I don't see him lasting out his term before Vnce and others re forced to remove him from office.
It is true that he is doing some good things but his foreign policy decisions so far have been a disaster.
I mean who decides on tariffs before a manufacturing capability is in place? That is like economics 101...
The Empire of Chaos flails as it dies. Even Nazi dictatorships like Canada think they stand a chance in the ring with the aging and traumatically brain-injured former prize fighter. Canada will be knocked out and hopefully its dictator Sinclair/Castro will be carried out of the ring along with his lesbian and homo political whores.
Trump knows the US has failed in its reach for hegemony. Having left the Fourth Reich (and the Ukraine) in ruins (again) he is retreating behind his two ocean sized moats to rule with an iron fist there. The inherent violence of the US will be directed outwards locally at Canada, Mexico and Greenland. Perhaps he will be more successful there than in Afghanistan, the Middle East and elsewhere.
The world's great powers will have to finally make a decision where they take out the US federal government and force us in the States to start over.
They can't continue to let the US mess up the world with their plans for cooperation and economic equality...
I just hope they do it soon. I think Asian girls are simply gorgeous and love Asian food. Besides, the Asians have a very a long tradition of emphasizing education and we could use that emphasis very much back here in the States...
Frank , your hyperbole Nazi Canada. Makes you sound retarded and it's not a dictatorship either, we have a very good electoral system despite your ignorance, 1.46$ per voter in cost too... ( Inexpensive/ US $48 a tax payer not including super PAC s...22billion, write about things you know something about... Or listen more...
Really Tim? So who is in charge and who selected the astonishing selection of the Three witches from MacBeth (Frieland.Friedland Goebbels. Gould and Melanie Joly (related to the new ISIS leader of Syria perhaps?) and the former head of the Bank of England. Not Sinclair/Castro you imply, but what is he doing to distinguish him from his erstwhile 'fling' Zelensky in Kiev. Z too is illegitimate but keeps on hanging around. Perhaps you will say George Soros or Claus Schwab keep Trudeau around in a mist of formaldehyde and did the selection of his successors for us to pick from, since they are all graduates of the 'School" or Board Members. Or do you think that that is 1. OK and/or 2. a Cohencidence? Really! Do try not to look so silly.
Then again, it's a reliable rule of thumb that when the stock market goes up the real economy goes down - and vice versa. So that $1.5 trillion of mostly imaginary paper wealth coming off the balances of people who are alwready far too rich will probably entail a slight boost for normal people.
Not really but the US stock market is a huge bubble 67%overvalued due to US counterfeit fiat currency flooding the world, 12trillion worth of bubble....... Everyone's subsidized the US actually with this Ponzi scheme of a monetary system.. Bretton woods etc....
Julian, Your friend is three bricks short of a load if he thinks that any US President who comes on like a bull in a China shop will be good for the country. Chump, as we learned last week, is not even aware that Spain is in Europe and is not part of BRICS. He insulted the interviewer implying that the interviewer didn't know what BRICS was... and should!
Chump has never read a book in his life. He surrounds himself with idiots and servile morons who want to climb the slimy beanstalk that leads to the throne, ignorant to the fact that they are destroying what's left of the country in the meantime. Tariffs on Mexico, Canada and all the BRICS countries, taking over the Panama Canal, buying Greenland and ethnically cleansing what's left of Gaza are just the cornerstone of his uninformed policies.
Chump is as deep state as it gets. The game is all about making the ignorant public think that he's on a mission to destroy the deep state.
We are indeed in for a very miserable four year term, where Chump destroys the US as his supporters continue to chant: "We're number one!"
" Climate change? Trump doesn’t believe in that, despite the billions it is costing the US."
I don't believe in it either--at least not the way you are implying. The climate has changed, getting a bit warmer, which is nothing new. We had a similar change during the medieval warm period, when it was possible for the Vikings to farm crops in Greenland, and European society flourished due to the extra crop yields. Then we had the "little ice age", which caused unusually cold winters--you've heard about how Washington and his troops froze at Valley Forge haven't you? That was near the tail end of the little ice age. Things have since gradually warmed up a bit. My point is that a certain amount of climate change is a normal part of weather patterns on Earth, and has nothing to do with human activity. It has more to do with variations in Earth's orbit about the sun, which we have no control over.
Bad weather is also normal--it happens all the time and always has. And if you build a complex civilization on this planet, bad weather will damage some of it from time to time. And yes, there are ways we can make things worse, by for example failing to clear dry brush from the hills around Los Angeles, which homeless people then set fire to. But this has nothing to do with "climate change", as it is understood in the popular narrative, where humans are emitting carbon dioxide and ruining the Earth. That happens to be a fictional narrative, which is used by the elites to try to control the population. (We do emit carbon dioxide, but it has little to no effect on the planet and its weather.)
So, there are bad decisions being made--such as neglecting proper care of forests and farmland--that do cost the U.S. billions. But the fictional climate change due to CO2 emissions is not a part of that.
You make some good points but I still don't agree. However I do think that the media and big corporations are distortingnand confusing environmental issues to take advantage.
I DO agree, however, when you write: "So, there are bad decisions being made--such as neglecting proper care of forests and farmland--that do cost the U.S. billions".
I would be interested in what it is you don't agree with. For that matter, if you wanted to write an article about the climate change issue, I would look forward to that (and would be happy to comment on it.) As I think you can see, I'm not interested in cheap point scoring or ad hominems--I'd like to have a serious discussion of the issue.
They made me feel a lot better about what is happening in the Empire of Chaos. It is becoming irrelevant no matter how hard it tweaks its nipples and plays the cock-blocking game with itself in the celestial mirror. For the first time in a long time I felt that there was a future for the planet, even if it is not in my hemisphere.
I'm waiting to see Canada and Mexico join BRICS. Also, I'm waiting for the rest of the world to sanction the US for all the sanctioning it's done to others in the past. Trump is just making it that much more easier for others to screw the US over. Fair's fair!
Julian, would it be possible for you to interview, by correspondence or other ways, Hua Bin?
I strongly suggest folks heading over to his substack. I also know that Ron Unz admires him and has added him to the list of writers featured at his site.
Ichi has nothing on our since passed cat, Emily, when it comes to the new world order. She ran it all. But she did make some mistakes. We lost Pluto because she miscalculated Pluto's orbit.
You’re having tech difficulties and can’t charge people? How about me- they can’t keep track of over $400 of paid subscriptions I estimate have been cancelled by Substack that were on auto-pay. They acknowledged it was their mistake but couldn’t id my credit card used to secure the subscription and asked me to do so. Unfortunately since those subscriptions were purchased months ago and since then I’ve moved across country and changed bank accounts and opened 3 new credit cards making identity of the card used impossible. Their response effectively told me I was screwed. But I love advising others on open Comments lines, particularly the authors, that I wouldn’t purchase another Substack subscription under any circumstances. Conceding to thieves is a great way to get robbed again. That is all.
I much prefer buymeacoffee. People reward me when I do something that they value. And not when I don’t. And it provides personal connection. I try to reply to every donation. And I can provide content in the form of lonnnng special articles in a variety of formats. In a way, Substack has done me a favor.
I appreciate the opportunity, but by my standards anyone who benefits from Substack is supporting a criminal enterprise, by definition. I wish you well
I prefer self-banning as it directly and financially affects the authors who passively ignore the outright theft perpetrated by their host platform. Also the platform loses money. Meanwhile I get to read , for free, some excellent reporting from a crowd of people who are slowly but effectively destroying legacy media outlets that are clearly corrupted. Like many of the corrupt governmental practices re: politically neutral NGOs funding other NGOs that are politically rabid and are opposed and criticised by the authors, especially in the censorship realm, the failure of the authors to inspect, investigate and cure my tiny and financially insignificant ( to the authors) effect upon them, is but a hair thin crack in the foundation of Substack that is near certain likely to expand over time if not stopped and will possibly undo the Substack goal of gaining legitimacy. As a once rabid opponent to war who demonstrated against the Vietnam War in the 70s and returned to the streets in 2003 protesting the pro-War on Terror crowd led by The Idiot Bush, it’s not the direct effect upon the perpetrators and supporters of destructive policies that concerns me, it is the pristine absolutism of my position, i.e. vocal opposition to bureaucratic complacency regarding insignificant moral corruption which spreads its poison into the system, that satisfies me.
I, like Cervante’s Don Quixote, continue my quest.
My 'Cassandra' sensing shows me a small increase in the probability of Trump and his team being surprisingly good on a course to revolutionise the USA. ~55%.
So Cassandra made a tweet and i used GROK to inspect it.
- USAID's Role in Regime Change: The post discusses how USAID, the United States Agency for International Development, is significant for funding operations that support NGOs involved in regime changes, particularly in countries like Romania, Georgia, Hungary, Ukraine, Serbia, Slovakia, and the Baltics. This is part of a broader narrative around the use of foreign aid for political influence.
- Trump Government's Impact: It highlights the new Trump administration's decision to halt USAID funding to current operations in several countries, suggesting a shift in U.S. foreign policy that impacts regime change efforts and media propaganda. This reflects ongoing political tensions and policy changes under the Trump administration.
- Deep State Allegations: The mention of the "monster below the US-DEEP-STATE" refers to the conspiracy theory of a deep state, where covert networks within the U.S. government allegedly work to influence policy and regime changes globally. This ties into broader discussions on political control and transparency within the U.S. government.
But it is not certain, not even probable, but it IS certainly possible...
Sander
PS. Oh, i forgot: Julian, The Monster below the US-Deep-State moved back to The City of London recently, like Rome's Deep-State split in one part to go to Constantinople and the other part to Londonium.
The Monster left behind some of its tentacles, which are now being hacked to pieces by the Trump-team... Without the muscles of the USA, it can only use its Lobby-Network Elites in the EU and European states... And even those seems to to be completely lost...
When Hans Fallada’s Little Man, What Now? was published during the last days of the Weimar Republic, his tale of economic depression and shattered petit-bourgeois aspirations made him famous in one fell swoop. In the novel, the daily humiliations of Johannes Pinneberg, a precariously employed department-store salesman failing to reach his monthly quota, intersect with specters of a self-cannibalizing working class, Communist radicalism, and rising National Socialist violence.
Little Man is a literary analogue to Antonio Gramsci’s reflection on interregnum, written from within a Fascist prison around the same time: “The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.”1 Interregnum was the term used in ancient Rome to refer to the moment of legal and political in-betweenness that followed the death of the sovereign and preceded the enthronement of his successor. The declaration of interregnum was accompanied by the proclamation of justitium, for it was not only sovereignty but also legality that was suspended. Gramsci brilliantly played with these terms, extending them as he grappled with the generalized crisis of authority in his own time. Old hegemonies were crumbling. The ruling order had lost its capacity to lead through consent. The masses had drifted away from traditional ideologies and toward a structure of feeling that awaited full articulation. The horizon was open.
The rest, as we know, is history.

Thank you again.
But my use of "Monsters" as concept, is because of the current impossibility to get deeper in its "Body" without being crashed by its weaponized use of language, mainly from its Media Dominance and its Political Power used to CRASH any real opposition in that area.
Climate change isn't costing America billions but mismanagement of resources most certainly is. For example, the recent fires is California could have been far less destructive if there was proper management of fire prone areas (reduce fuel load) and better management of water resources (keep reservoirs full) for fire-fighting. The fires themselves were not caused by human-induced climate change. Southern CA has been fire prone for thousands of years.
'“Core national interests”? LOL!'
To echo the Palmerston quotation, I might add that "Nations don't have interests. People have interests". Usually when governments talk about "national interests" they mean the interests of their rich friends and sponsors. (And themselves, of course).

Ichi appears to have his priorities in order. You don't own a cat, they own you.

'Time of Monsters' From the Series: Crisis of Liberalism By Andrea Muehlebach, October 27, 2016

Yeah a lot of European Nationalists placed all their faith in Trump.
I got an unexpected disappointment with your inference that climate change is real..
Disagreement on one issue shouldn't be a deal-breaker.
