Excellent post. Between now and the BRICs meeting in Kazan anything is possible. JD Vance is flexible. That is the keyword. All Americans, Republicans and Democrats,Trans or Straight, must come out in huge numbers to protest the Nazi War policies of the MIC at the Democratic party National Convention on August 19 in Chicago, one of Amerikkka's most violent cities. It MUST be peaceful. Beware of F.B.I./Soros/JDL/ADL agent provocateurs.
This action must be similar to the peaceful gathering of the German population at the Berlin Wall that led to the fall of Communism.
This revolutionary action will turn America back to the 'United' States of America and against the vicious partisanship that is killing us. This action will be an action of redemption for our Founding Fathers and make us honor George Washington's Farewell Address.

Maybe both - the alimentary canal, which forms the basis of every primitive life form. Which connects neatly with this (one of my favourite bons mots from a writer who turns them out regularly):
"As it exists today, industrial society can best be described as a scheme for turning resources into pollution as fast as possible".

I do wish people would be open and see instead of starting at the black pill option. Understand cycles of history please and have some faith in humanity. Its not all black.
For Trump, this was about as good a pick as he could have selected. If he does get elected, I pray he keeps the neocon swamp monsters out this time around. I fear Ms. Haley will be his SoS. God help the USA and the world should he appoint her.
Looks like Vance is already on the platform ready to jump head first into the neocon swamp. From Dave Decamp's post in Anti-war this AM:
“The most important part of the Trump doctrine of foreign policy is you don’t commit America’s troops unless you really have to, but when you do, you punch and you punch hard,” Vance told Fox News’s Sean Hannity at the Republican National Convention on Monday.
“A lot of people recognize that we need to do something with Iran but not these weak little bombing runs,” Vance said, apparently referring to President Biden’s airstrikes against Shia militias in Iraq and Syria.
“If you’re going to punch the Iranians, you punch them hard, and that’s what [Trump] did when he took out Soleimani,” he said, referring to the 2020 assassination of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani.
Taking out Soleimani was not only a crime but a strategic and tactical mistake. The man was not the IRGC-- and the action strengthened the IRGC overall.
In his post yesterday, Lee Fang pointed out several bills that Vance cosponsored with Democrats and Bernie as well as marching with the auto workers when on strike. No doubt he is super ambitious, which isn't a great trait, but then is there anyone in the senate who is not both ambitious and bought by AIPAC? At least he's shown restraint on Ukraine and NATO. It should make for an interesting debate with Ms. Harris and Ms. Shanahan if she finds her way onto the stage.

A great one again...
My suggestion on your request for the US:
According to Mackinder's Heartland Theory,
The Heart of the World is "The World-Island". [Eurasia] And the Heart of it is Central-Asia (Afghanistan+)
The Outer Rim, "The Periphery Islands", includes US [+Australia, Antarctica and such].
The shortest way for Trade or war from point A to B was for ages Ships, sailing along the coasts with Cannon and those made the Colonial Empires.
With the Chinese "One Belt One Road" the shortest way will now be train and car over land. Combined with Coastal anti-ship missiles, it makes the power of the Colonial empire useless. (Yemen and the Red Sea)

Ahh, watch the Cove, man, about cetaceans (and other animals) in those ghettos, AKA zoos.
Talk about script writers and coming up with, "Nato is like sunblock."

Devolution, man. Low low sperm counts, plastic penises going limp, uteruses that look like a ZipLock baggy.
DEVOLUTION.

Devolution=natural population control. NATO is not like sunblock. Sunblock is useful on the beach.
Ben's on fire, too:

Vance is still a cypher. Let us not underestimate the ability of the American system, the culture's political unconscious to redirect and corrupt.
Nice to see smart thinking take the stage by whoever it is.
Means what happened in the past isn’t a recreation for the future.
A true revolution .
Trouble is smart people can outsmart themselves.

Love that quote.
He's bought & paid for, like the rest of them.
Mercifully, it's highly unlikely I'll be here in 2050. No kids so no grandkids to worry about either. I weep for the non-human earth instead...

My upcoming special article also makes his point-- that is never all-black. In nature, life continues although not necessarily in the form we expect.

Agreed. Bibi's bidding, no doubt.
