    Trump isn’t a neocon (expansionist) he’s trying to withdraw into safety, and focus the economy on expansion rather than postwar pacification. That means settling all open disputes (which now include Russia – but the press hasn’t caught onto Russian reduction of military spending and redirection to diversifying the economy), ending Korean conflict and bringing those troops home, and in the middle east, preventing a near monopoly of oil production over there, consequential development of a bourse, and new petro-currency, and the military buildup such an event would permit, and the creation of a wealthy military empire – and instead, he’s doing the obvious that’s been recommended by the generals which is to eliminate any islamic state’s expansionism, preserve egypt, the kingdoms, in the south, israel in the center, and the existing high-violence states in the north. (syria, iraq, iran, pakistan). The assumption at present is that Turkey and Iran will form power centers, and that Turkey will return to the islamic civilization and leave the european civilization and thereby cease being a ‘torn country’. The Palestinians have institutionalized rebellion so everyone is waiting them out. And they’re done for the simple reason that israel will eventually fail demographically about the same time that Palestinians are integrated in the region. So the only remaining problem in this plan is replacing the iranian regime and eliminating it’s nuclear (if not military capacity) and as far as I know, given rates of protest, and the public’s intolerance for more economic suffering due to military expansionism, that’s going to happen.

    TRUMP IS DOING WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO IN HIS CAMPAIGN. The only thing he isn’t is whatever he can’t because it’s blocked by congress.

    THE GRAND STRATEGY OF THE IRAN MOVE

    As German defense minister said “Iran is on our doorstep so…” meaning that they are afraid because europe is weak. and so they will cave. Meanwhile Trump is trying to force Europeans to redirect their capital to the military which would neutralize their trade advantage with the USA. These things are quite simple as a business person, incomprehensible as a moralist, and inconceivable as an ideologist/theologist.

    Cliffsnotes Version:

    by Steven Kolpek

    – USA interventionism allowed allies to reduce their military spending

    – allies with reduced military spending were able to use funds to leverage trade over US

    – US begins to pull out from important areas in middle east

    – allies forced to spend more in military

    – ally trade leverage reduced due to forced redirection of funds

    – MAGA

    You would be surprised (a) how possible it is, (b) how likely it is, (c) how soon it is. Radical change is always suspect in prospect and deterministic in retrospect. We are lucky or not to ‘live in interesting times.’

  • “WHY ARE WE NOT SEEING A SHOCK FROM GENDER ASYMMETRY IN INDIA AND CHINA?”— 1-

    —“WHY ARE WE NOT SEEING A SHOCK FROM GENDER ASYMMETRY IN INDIA AND CHINA?”—

    1- Economic opportunity is masking conflict – as it always does. The return of economic limitations restores group conflicts.

    2 – Substantial underclass populations still preserving family.

    3 – So there is sex pressure but still hope.

    4 – And there is marriage retention and still hope.

    5 – Unlike the west, they are not wealthy enough to destroy the economic security of the family.

    6 – Japan is the … oddity. (Low testosterone in asian men is not a good thing)

    In any society where the woman are capable of both single motherhood and middle class (technological) workplace substitution of men, we should see a retreat to serial marriage and excess males. Males are cost to a woman while raising children if they are working.

    This same effect won’t occur in populations with IQ’s below 95 (massive underclasses).

    And the upper classes will always find greater competitive and status value in dual incomes or high male income with supported females.

    Without eugenics either environmental, agrarian, or political, it is very hard to maintain human advancement.

  • Trump Is Doing What Kennedy Tried to Do…

    (good article) (via zero hedge) “CIA Whistleblower: Trump Is Doing What Kennedy Tried To” Former CIA Officer and whistleblower Kevin Shipp says what is going on with Donald J. Trump “is an ongoing coup to remove a duly elected President.” Shipp contends, “This is a huge constitutional crisis like the country has never seen before. This makes Watergate look like a Sunday school class.” On Friday, Shipp and other retired top officials at the CIA, FBI, DOJ and NSA held a press conference and demanded Attorney General Jeff Sessions prosecute top Obama era officials for obvious crimes against the incoming Trump Administration. Shipp says, “We have a coup within our government right now at the senior levels at the CIA, DOJ and the FBI attempting to unseat a duly elected President who was elected by the American people and remove him from office… This is, at worst, treason with senior officials in the shadow government or Deep State . . . to attack Donald Trump and remove him from office. . . . We have not seen anything like this since the Presidency of John F. Kennedy (JFK), when CIA Director Allen Dulles attacked him, and we saw what happened there… There is crystal clear evidence that the CIA was, at least, involved with the cover-up of the JFK assassination. Now, we have the same thing happening again… Remember what Chuck Schumer said, and it was chilling. He said, ‘If you cross the intelligence community, they can hit back at you six ways from Sunday.’ That’s what we are seeing now. It’s collusion or a coup with senior officials at the FBI, DOJ and CIA along with Robert Mueller to unseat an elected president.” Shipp goes on to explain, “There is essentially a civil war involving parts of senior management and upper parts of our government that is occurring in the United States. It’s between the ‘Dark’ side and the ‘Constitutional’ side.” “There has never been anything like this in history. It is extremely serious, and this is an extremely serious hour for our government and especially for our constitutional freedoms… This essentially is a global criminal cabal that has penetrated into our government and now has senior level officials colluding and, I would argue, conspiring to unseat this president.” In closing, Shipp says, “People need to understand that the Democrat Party today is not the Democrat Party of John F. Kennedy.” “The Democrat Party with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is more Marxist than anything else. They think the Constitution should be a ‘progressive’ document. In other words, the Constitution is outdated and should be redone. They are both directly connected into George Soros, who wants to destroy the sovereignty of the U.S. government… The Democrat Party is now made up of Marxists and leftists that have penetrated that entire organization. . . . Their entire goal is to change our form of government and destroy our sovereignty.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with CIA whistleblower Kevin Shipp, founder of the website ForTheLoveofFreedom.net.

  • Right Sector

    Right Sector seized military weaponry from an Interior Ministry arsenal in western Ukraine, near Lviv, towards the end of the Maidan revolution. Following the collapse of the Yanukovych government, with police having largely abandoned the streets of Kiev, groups of young men, including members of Right Sector, patrolled them armed mostly with baseball bats and sometimes with guns. Right Sector recruited retired officers of the interior ministry and the security agencies. Right Sector delivered some weapons to Ukrainian authorities in the aftermath of the revolution, and kept others. Petro Poroshenko in an interview with DW English in late 2015, claimed that Right Sector was going to be disarmed and taken out of operations in Donbass, but still hasn’t done so as of 2017. Right Sector holds the position that the population should keep and bear arms, as in Switzerland.[110] Yarosh told the New York Times that the organization’s lawyers were drafting a bill modeled on Swiss notions of firearms possession.
