There is a crown lying in the gutter and Marjorie Taylor Greene is inching mighty close to picking it up

Trump says Israel wouldn't exist without him. He goes after Netanyahu in public. He floats the idea that maybe Syria should be the one to handle Hezbollah. He's reportedly unfreezing Iranian money and openings channels for a $300 billion investment. He says he has no interest in regime change in Tehran. And with half the internet insisting Israel owns Washington, despite Epstein files owning these leaders, Trump flatly declares Netanyahu will do whatever he asks. Netanyahu holds a defeatist speech, basically reinforcing Trump's power. Then you have this US-Iran war that gets written off everywhere as the most pointless war in living memory; a war that started, did almost nothing, and stopped. Nobody can hold all of that without it falling apart in their head. If all this looks like paradoxical chaos to you, it means you don't understand geopolitics or in the least, have been brainwashed to interpret reported events as the source of truth. If you've followed me long enough, you know my read and you know I've said all this before. Israel does not run American foreign policy. Israel is the most valuable asset American foreign policy holds, and there's a difference between an asset that's treasured and an asset that has turned into liability. When the principal decides to trade the asset, the asset can't stop him, and a sitting president is disciplining an Israeli prime minister on camera while that prime minister's expansion project becomes inconvenient. For thirty years the region ran on one bet. Iran would eventually lose. Iran played the boogeyman, forever two weeks from a bomb and never getting there, the permanent and defeat-able threat. That role paid everyone. It kept American forces, arms sales, and leverage in the region under the banner of containment. It gave the defense machine a procurement cycle with no end date. It gave Israel cover to run its expansion under an existential enemy. And it paid Iran, who got reach and Shia influence across Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, and a standing on the Arab street no Arab government could match. As long as everyone assumed Iran would eventually be beaten, the smart move was to keep the tension at exactly the right temperature and never let it boil. A controlled threat, not an existential one. The conflict was the product. Then Iran stopped digging its own grave. Tehran looked at the boogeyman role and decided it no longer paid, because the proxies that once kept Israel from finishing its work had become the ceiling on Iran's own future, the thing locking it out of the Gulf normalization track and the capital flows and the integrated order the Gulf and BRICS were building. So Iran started shedding the skin. Proxies phased down. Strikes on its own commanders absorbed with a calm that doesn't match a state fighting for survival. The moment Iran moved, everyone's math moved. The Gulf doesn't want a war, because it's mid-construction on an economic project a war would burn down, and a calm Iran inside the tent is worth more to Riyadh than a bombed Iran outside it. The transnational private sector doesn't want it either, because no version of a real US-Iran war avoids the Strait of Hormuz, an oil shock, a global recession, and a generational bill, and the people who allocate capital in Washington have no appetite to pay it. That left one player whose project still needed the old game running. Netanyahu's expansion faction, the one actor who still needed the existential enemy, because the enemy was the permission slip for everything else. So what was the point of the war? The war was a soft landing built to avoid the real one. A settlement like this normally dies in the room because nobody trusts anybody to move first. A managed crisis fixes that. Under the cover of a war nobody has to move first and nobody has to trust anybody, everybody moves at once, and the war becomes the enforcement no treaty could provide. Iran got to shed its proxies signaling compliance to opponents, while telling its base it was overwhelmed, not betrayed. Netanyahu got to claim he neutralized the threat while complying. The defense machine got its activity. The Gulf got the board cleared. Every player walked out of that pointless war with an unsolvable problem solved. Same with Syria, where everyone got the read backwards. Assad's fall didn't hand Syria to Israel. The mercenary tools that broke Syria in 2011 under American and Israeli handlers are now under Turkish and Gulf handlers, and the agenda flipped from fragmentation to consolidation. A unified Syria under Ankara and the Gulf is a wall against Israeli expansion, which is why Israel kept bombing a country it supposedly just won. When Trump says maybe Syria should handle Hezbollah, he's handing the cleanup to the new owner of the neighborhood. The cleanup guy changed. The $300 billion is predominantly Gulf money, and will be routed to Wall St players. A calm, integrated Iran isn't a security headache to the people who allocate capital. It's a market. Reconstruction, energy, a hundred million consumers, a new node in the trade architecture the Gulf is building. For thirty years war was the product. Now integration is the product, and the $300 billion is the TPS entry fee. None of this is paradoxical. Everything can be clearly mapped out if you choose to submerge your ego, deprogram what the West has taught you and your misunderstanding of who is in charge. Some have woken up. Most still haven't. I have been saying all this for almost 2 years on here. Go through my timeline. There is no paradox. Private sector power has decided to swap military-first foreign policy in the Middle East, to a policy of economic boom. For that to happen, de-militarization, de-nuclearization must be conducted across the region. This is coming. Like I've said this was coming for almost 2 years now. And once Middle East settles, in the way I have said it will, the next seismic shift is in Central Asia, the band of former Soviet republics wedged between Russia, China, and Iran. It will break into an open great-power contest somewhere 2-3 years from now. Again I am calling this early. And once again, hardly anyone outside a few mining desks and foreign-policy shops will see this coming.

Bro was an All Pro now he waiting on line for Streamer sleep away camp

i suppose a major implication of the report is that the current establishment can never afford to give up power because if they do theyre liable to be torn apart in the streets

I was at a music festival in Japan and, in the middle of the set, they just stopped the music and everyone started cleaning. People were completely trashed and still had the discipline to pick up all the rubbish. Then the music went back on and everyone went straight back to dancing. A better world is possible.

Quite fucking literally.

DSA is essentially a wealthy, white, highly educated movement which very carefully selects candidates from their 0.00001% members of color to try and sell the ideas to black and brown people who are historically extremely averse to socialism

It is very important to understand that the ramblings of neurotics online are not how "most Blacks/Caucasians feel about race relations," how "most men feel about women" - or, how "most women feel about sex and dating."

This is an attempt at erasure of FBA culture. We don't do this with Caribbean holidays/parades/celebrations... they wouldn't dare allow us to. Caribbean food, culture central to Juneteenth Heritage Festival @tariqnasheed Link: newstribune.com/news/2026/ju…

She is Ethiopian, btw. Got packed up quick, fast, and in a hurry. It’s now deleted. I hope that person finds a good FBA caterer to fulfill their request.

twitter loves this nigga but he flops every single time

This person will be dead soon. The reality is he's dying on the street. His life could be saved. But that requires putting aside ideology and pet projects and scooping him off the streets to save his life. It's a choice. And we simply choose not to. We choose the immoral choice.

“I’m here to learn from your housing model” “In Singapore all housing has ethnic quotas to prevent ghettoisation” “Right” “Foreigners are not eligible for social housing either, we prioritise our citizens” “So you’re saying put more Somalis in central London social housing?”

You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever. There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.

You're not "mentoring" and "after school programming" your way out of this.

We went to the movies to watch a descendant of slave traders depict Martin Luther King Jr in a movie. Think about that.

Black fascism but we leave the Arabs alone for some reason lol

I don’t get the odd obsession with Michelle. Why does Barrack look like an after thought in this painting? A meek figure lurking in the background. His wife front and center. He was the president, she’s done nothing. He doesn’t even get a chair, just hunched over on some piece of furniture not meant for sitting. It’s so weird to me.

I’m going to sound like an ass but this sort of anxiety is self inflicted. If you celebrate extreme hierarchical sorting in society you’re encouraging a system where most people will end up on the bottom. If life success is defined by that rat race most kids are set for failure.

Elections have consequences.

This Howard University professor apparently has no idea how toxic it is for the public's perception of black people to tell them "If you offend a young black man, he has every right to stab you to death, that's just science."
