Trump’s Brain Is 100% Neocon.
16 August 2026, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)Many Democratic Party commentators simply deride “Trump’s brain” as “stupid” or “mere mush.” (For example, see the Democratic Party’s “The Daily Beast” video “Why Even Trump Insiders Admit He’s ‘An Idiot’ | Inside Trump’s Head”.) However, it’s far worse than that: it is 100% neocon — obsessed with the evil goal that the U.S. empire must continue expanding until it includes every country — the entire pl
Why Is America Being Hit By One Catastrophic Disaster After Another?
For months, the U.S. has been getting pummeled by one major disaster after another, and the past few days have been absolutely insane. Hurricane Lala just dumped more than two feet of rain in some parts of Hawaii, we are witnessing the worst flooding in the entire modern history of Indiana, the endless drought in the Southwest has caused Lake Powell to drop to the lowest level ever recorded, and an absolutely massive heat dome is going to make it feel like it is over 110 degrees in many cities i
Libya suffering from U.S. meddling, internal rivalries and the battle for oil
Steven Sahiounie, journalist and political commentator specializing in Middle East and U.S. affairs Libya’s conflict and instability today is caused by the U.S.-NATO attack in 2011 for regime change. U.S. President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton destroyed Libya’s political and security structures and contributed to the country’s subsequent fragmentation.Since the killing of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Libya has remained trapped in a cycle of internal conflict, politi
Demand Destruction Response: “Balance as long as you can, and when you can no longer, set the world on fire!” — Józef Piłsudski
I am writing this post partly as a comment on a recent video by The Duran.First, I want to say that I really like The Duran because, in my two recent posts, I was pointing out where I think they were wrong. I have written a few times before that I focus on the differences between me and The Duran because there is no point in praising them or simply repeating what they have already said. I also wrote before that Alex is more open-minded than Alexander. Based on my recent post, you could say that

Fyodor Lukyanov: Russia’s Strategy as the World Order Collapses
This discussion is about the relations between countries, but it lacks the appreciation of the economic and financial underpinning of the conflict that we heard in the previously posted discussion with Michael Hudson. The US empire is a financial empire of debt that has lost its military ability to force other countries to service them, and they must sooner or later be repudiated. When this debt structure is gone, a new structure of international law can be created. Will it require a major war,

What We’re All in for if Either Russia or the U.S. Empire Uses a Nuke
15 August 2026, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)If either the U.S. side or the Russian side uses a nuclear weapon against the other side, that will precipitate a global nuclear war in which no side will stop, short of unleashing all of its weapons. There is no such thing as a “tactical nuclear weapon” — a phrase that was invented by the U.S. side in 1951 in order to fool the public to believe that there is such a thing and that it is smaller than the nukes the U.S. h
