Very interesting start! I look forward to the next episode. I share your assessment of president Putin. What separates him from other leaders (especially western) is in my opinion: his authenticy, his morality, his focus on the well-being of the people he is responsible for.
The family was wealthy during Elon's youth.[13] Despite both Elon and Errol previously stating that Errol was a part owner of a Zambian emerald mine,[13] in 2023, Errol recounted that the deal he made was to receive "a portion of the emeralds produced at three small mines".[18][19]
And Lincoln, ‘who got lucky…’, but I’ve got to challenge that conclusion as it sounds like mainstream history. Alternative views from the likes of Thomas DiLorenzo observe Lincoln’s success as far from coincidental, or as ‘lucky’. DiLorenzo points out that Lincoln isn’t the Great Emancipator, but rather the great centralist who was installed by the help of the Whigs, especially by his mentor, Henry Clay, who loved protectionism in all its forms as it allowed a safety net for their most ardent supporters and best buds. Lincoln instituted everything Henry Clay and the Whigs dreamed of: a central bank, and all things mercantilism. For an alternative view with laser beam fact and analysis, dare to read, DiLorenzo’s, The Real Lincoln.
I completely disagree with your fundamental premise - "survival depended on leaders and leadership ."
I would say it's our cultural tendency to follow leaders which has brought us to our current impasse. It's an attempt to abdicate our responsibility for participating in the creation of our society.
The only "leaders" I can see as beneficial are not instigators but empty vessels. They distill the spirit of their people, their words only have power because they strike a chord already present in their people. They don't control or coerce their people, merely tell them a story which functions as a mirror.
Sorry but the Elons Dad owns an emerald mine is 100% false. He never has , there is much research into this , and if you have proof I suggest you collect the million dollars on offer for proof of that claim he has on offer for 2years now... Not true.. I am not a fan of Elon but fact check your screed if you want people to find you credible .. so far throw out your first draft, it offers nothing even the Trump part is ridiculously over the top...
after 50 years of construction (big, complicated, stuff) opiion and views are reltively useless to me. I never could build anything with them. The bottom line: git'er done is all that matters. As for Trump, we, including me, have to play the cards we're delt. So we'll see four years from now. Right now the intensity of opposition he's getting, the flak, could very well mean he is over the target.

THESE were vassals of the Empire.
Both Putin and Xi understand the world. They know where they need to go. The West is losing and getting desperate. I fear war is highly likely.

A true, gifted leader and above all a peacemaker : Look at Hadrian. Memoirs of Hadrian, Marguerite Yourcenar. Available in english.
I simply love it that you Julian embark (for your readers) an editorial piece.
You are not explicitly asking questions but you are open to comments.
This is to my mind a 'conversation.'
We can all give our 'point of view' but you are trying to make 'sense' of this world. Well done.
I fully appreciate that you are 'finding your way.'
NO other substack does this..
I used to watch Caitlin for a LONG time.
She is one of the people here on substack that I abhor.
I could write VOLIMINOUS essays on here like Caitlin but I don't don't this. WHY?
Nothing she says makes any difference. Remember she is Australian whose Country is Guarding the Pacific Ocean.
I was born in 1949 and I have seen SO many strange things happening.
USA is to me a defunct Empire (like the British)
WHO are we??
WE are people who have seen wars come and go.. The USA took over the 'mantle' of oppression.
I give up.
I am old and I really cannot understand why Empires still cannot understand why ONE Empire rules the Earth.
GO on with your 'sanctions' USA.
What you will be finding out USA.............is that not one country trusts you in the Global arena.
Goddamn fucking gifted leaders? Are you on meth? Is this a white man's trauma log? Masturbation is more or less legal now in lalalandia...
Here's your leadership. This century of the Jew
