Marco Rubio: The US’ goal is for the Strait of Hormuz to be opened ‘back to the way it was’ before the war.
The most idiotic moment in US foreign policy history. An admission that the war has been a disaster, and now the goal of the war is to go back to the pre-war status quo.
Distinguished UChicago Prof. John Mearsheimer on Pres. Trump's FAILURE in Iran:
“The Iranians have won. They’ve won a victory here. And if we sit down and negotiate a deal, it will become manifestly clear to anybody with a triple-digit IQ that the Iranians won.”
Tucker Carlson says the markets look fake.
After months of crisis around the Strait of Hormuz, oil and gold stayed far lower than he says rational markets would allow.
His conclusion is brutal: the system is rigged.
The middle class survival kit now:
Cook everything at home.
Cancel vacations.
Delay healthcare.
Drive less.
Buy generic everything.
We shoudn't have to live like this.
It's like the Bronze Age Collapse. Bronze Age armies required wealthy trading kingdoms to outfit and train them. They were all suddenly made obsolete by a rag tag group of pirates, the Sea Peoples, with crude, cheap iron weapons. Only the wealthy could provide bronze swords and armor. Every man could afford a more lethal iron weapon.
Most of you do not understand it yet, because the process is masked so well through propaganda, but we are watching the collapse of the U.S. hegemony in real-time.
