Re: Russia

Tucker was an embarrassment. We used to have excellent interviewers, but Tucker never even gained rapport.

He was either silent or blustering tactless questions with no finesse. Completely unprepared and out of his depth.

We learned nothing new about Putin or Russia. Tucker blew it.

Idk but population seems to a trailing indicator not a leading indicator.

People start families during boom periods. By the time population moves the social conditions have been in place for years.

Re: Biden Administration | Run by Davros, er, Davos?

Re: Yemen

Yemen might be a created Hegelian crisis. No real benefit except to point out the need for control of bab el-Mandeb.

Current Russian successes in the Sahel and dismemberment of ECOWAS are also in play.

Re: Israel

H.G. Wells was a leader of the Socialist Fabian Society, and a well respected historian. His “New World Order” was highly influential in 1940 and the term is still used by communitarians today.

An important thought leader in the development of Communism.
