Trump’s Real Reason for War

Trump and Netanyahu’s attack on Iran is premised on a gossamer web of assumptions and inferences. Trump says Iran has enough nuclear material to build a bomb within days, will soon have long-range missiles capable of hitting the United States, and plans an attack. But he has offered no evidence. Most experts say he’s wrong. […]

Trump Goes All-In

“Bombs will fall everywhere. When we’re done, seize your government. It will be yours. This will likely be your only chance in generations,” Trump addressed the Iranian people, standing on the green lawn at Mar-a-Lago. “America stands with you with overwhelming force and destructive power. Now is the time to take your destiny into your […]

Pete Hegseth and the AI Doomsday Machine

Two forces are stopping sensible regulation of AI. He’s one of them. Which is more important to you? Allowing Pete Hegseth to use artificial intelligence (AI) however he wants, OR preventing AI from doing mass surveillance of Americans and creating lethal weapons without human oversight? That’s the stark choice posed by the intensifying fight between […]

Heightism

What I tell parents of abnormally short children. I’m very short. At my zenith I was 4 feet, 11 inches. From time to time, worried parents of abnormally short children phone or email me seeking reassurance. I tell them that if they or their children are desperate, they can resort to limb-lengthening surgeries, growth hormone […]

Germany: The Key to What Happened to Europe

How and why Germans have lost it, is not clear to me. I don’t live in the country and I don’t have a way to study events all the way to their causes. But the results are obvious for anyone to see. Here is an emblem of what I am talking about. Long time ago, […]

“This is Worse than a Crime, it’s a Mistake.”

(“C’est pire qu’un crime, c’est une faute”). Great line attributed to Taleyrand, famous French Diplomat. Indeed, that’s exactly what Trump, or rather his incompetent henchmen into whose hands he entrusted the American legal system, have done. It is very easy to gaslight Americans about foreign policy. They have no clue about any European or Asian […]

Canada, Stop Lying to Itself

There is a great Soviet joke about Americans mocking Russia’s lack of freedom of speech. See, says, American. I can stand in front of the White House and scream, down with Reagan, and nothing will happen to me. Big deal, says Russian. I can stand in front of the Kremlin, scream “down with Reagan” and […]

Arm in Arm with America

I see how, against the backdrop of NATO’s crisis over Greenland, the idea of ​​creating a “new joint Russian-European security architecture on the continent” is gaining popularity in the expert community, including, of course, security guarantees for Ukraine. “Together with Europe (and China) – against America!” This idea is naturally supported primarily by the pro-Ukrainian […]

Congress Implementing 2026 Plan

Congress begins implementing its 2026 plan: to rein in Trump and reclaim control… But to do this, they need to pass a budget. Will it work? First of all, the US Senate has NOT yet passed a resolution banning Trump from fighting Venezuela. By a vote of 52 to 47, the Senate only tabled S.J. […]

Russophobia as a “Sacred Mission” of the Nazis

How woke liberals learned to love Nazi collaborators and murderers. One the surface of it, it all looks strange if not shocking. The most progressive of the Americans and consequently of the western world, providing moral and financial support to the ultra-nationalist thugs who idolize mass murderers of the Bandera type. They don’t idolize Dr. […]

The End of Cinema

This is very, VERY sad news. I don’t want to exaggerate or draw premature conclusions, but this turn of events in the film industry is, to put it mildly, frightening and shocking. I dare to suspect that everyone has noticed how the quality of global cinema has plummeted recently. Many complain about stupid plots, incompetent […]

The Last Mask of the Great Actor

I often think about what it is like to create something with full effort, being on the threshold of death. We are all doomed to it, of course, but we drown out thoughts about it with the vanity of life, work and idleness, feelings and entertainment. But when it has already knocked on the door, […]

How Did the Statue of Liberty Appear in New York?

The Statue of Liberty was originally intended to go to Egypt. It was created as a gift to commemorate the construction of the Suez Canal by the French. However, the Egyptians refused the gift, and France decided to give the statue to America. In August 1875, the creation of the Franco-American Union was announced. The […]
