Set the scene. A massive military presence halfway around the world. American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines on a wartime footing under a social media lockdown. Old and angry, the US President publicly threatens to youtube , and then does it.
In the proud tradition of another baby killer, Trump believes, as Madeleine Albright told Colin Powell 35 years ago, "What's the point of having this superb military you're always talking about, if we can't use it?"

During the administrations of Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden, how many times did we hear about how Republicans were the answer to those big-spending Democrats who were bankrupting our country with their out-of-control federal spending and debt ? Almost continuously ! If only American voters would put those fiscally responsible Republicans in charge of both houses of Congress and the presidency, we were repeatedly told, fiscal responsibility would return to the federal government.

The British House of Lords lost its power to mob democracy gradually, but the Parliament Act of 1911 turned the House of Lords into the Roman Senate under the Caesars by stripping the House of Lords of veto power over legislation. This eliminated the Lords' power over spending and taxation.
By 1894 the Lords' power was essentially gone. That year death duties were intentionally introduced in order to destroy the financial position of the British aristocracy, the Barons, Earls, Viscounts, and Dukes who had led the nation for centuries.

No matter which administration is in power in the US, its policies always boil down to unadulterated imperialism and aggression against the entire world. Until recently, Canada enjoyed a relatively comfortable position within this system, but now the hegemon's sword is gradually turning toward its vassals and satellite states.
To say that relations between the United States and Canada are in a downward spiral would be an understatement.

RapSit-USA2026 : une défaite en forme de victoire
Les suites de la défaite du Représentant républicain Thomas Massie lors des primaires républicaines du Kentucky donnent une mesure stupéfiante de l'extraordinaire importance de cette élection (primaire d'un élu) par définition sans grande importance. On trouvera divers éléments sur diverses vidéo, youtube , youtube et tant d'autres pour nous décrire cette atmosphère, où le vaincu semble apparaître comme un vainqueur triomphal.

Le président Donald Trump doit s'avouer vaincu, assurent aussi bien ses amis que ses adversaires. Les armes ont déjà parlé. Une prolongation de la guerre ne peut qu'aggraver ses conséquences. Il importe de s'en retirer le plus tôt possible.

Pendant que Trump se tâte, avant de décider s'il va bombarder l'Iran pour le rayer de la carte un de ces quatre matins, il est étonnant que les deux faces de la même pièce du système états-unien, d'une part, estampillent le "mat" définitif infligé par l'Iran par la voix du Khazar Robert Kagan newsnet.fr), et, de l'autre, par la voix du lieutenant-général Michael Flynn.

Lundi 18 mai, les medias du monde entier diffusent le dernier mensonge de Trump. Il déclare reporter les frappes générales contre l'Iran prévues pour le lendemain Mardi, et cela"sur la demande" des États du golfe. Ceux-ci démentent et disent qu'ils "n'étaient même pas au courant".
L'Amérique a-t-elle honte de son président ? Peut-être même pas.

Le "siècle d'humiliation" de la Chine débuta en 1839 avec la première guerre de l'opium. La dynastie Qing était en déclin et les puissances étrangères commencèrent à s'emparer de territoires et à extorquer des concessions commerciales par la guerre et les expéditions militaires. Ce fut un long siècle qui ne prit véritablement fin qu'en 1949 avec la proclamation de la République populaire de Chine.

Thomas Massie a perdu son siège au Congrès face à un adversaire lors des primaires, dont le financement par le lobby israélien a fait de cette élection la primaire à la Chambre des représentants la plus coûteuse de l'histoire. Massie était l'un des rares républicains à s'opposer aux exactions israéliennes au Capitole.
Les dépenses pour la destitution de Massie ont atteint la somme astronomique de 32 millions de dollars.

A recent article by Robert Kagan highlights the serious consequences of Trump's military adventure.
For years, the Western political and media establishment promoted the narrative that a direct confrontation with Iran would represent a definitive demonstration of American military supremacy in the Middle East. In Washington, the illusion prevailed that sanctions, sabotage, selective assassinations, and the military shock of a rapid and high-intensity conflict would be enough to bend Tehran and consolidate a new regional architecture subordinated to the interests of the U.S.

The recalibration of relations between the GCC and Iran, and their views of Israel, will be Trump's legacy.
In recent days, a number of respected analysts have pointed out that Donald Trump is trapped in Iran. Despite badly wanting to get out, his only remaining option, they claimed, is to go back to bombing the country. They warned that this bombing was imminent and would likely take place while Putin was visiting Xi in China.

Un agent USsraelien était-il positionné et censé prendre le contrôle de l'Iran ?
Cette question se pose à la lecture d'un nouvel article du New York Times qui fait le tour du monde.

This week, President Donald Trump announced that he plans to give away tax dollars without congressional or judicial authorization to his friends and allies whom he believes were mistreated by the Biden administration. Can he legally do that?
Here is the backstory.
During the last year of his first term in office, Trump's tax returns were stolen along with those of 425,000 others by an IRS employee who leaked Trump's to media outlets.

In early 2022, I predicted in the New York Post that inflation would politically bankrupt President Joe Biden. Will the affordability issue similarly bankrupt President Donald Trump?
Trump constantly blusters as if he deserves the Nobel Prize for Economic Triumphs, just like he supposedly deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. In a January speech in Iowa, he doubled down on his triumphs by referring to himself in the third person: "Just after one year of President Trump, our economy is booming....

The lad who inspired Aesop to write, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" (also known as "The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf"), has grown up and is now President of the United States. Since February 28, 2026, Donald Trump has released 11 statements suggesting the war with Iran was over or that a negotiated deal is close, only it turns out to be a hoax.
What emerges across nearly three months is a remarkably consistent cycle: Trump declares victory or proximity to a deal → Iran denies it or the facts on the ground contradict it → Trump escalates rhetoric → a new round of claimed breakthroughs begins.

As far as I can tell, Donald Trump is the first American president in my lifetime to be actively engaged in business while serving as President of the United States. I have no memory of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, or George W. Bush starting and running businesses while occupying the Oval Office. It is true that Lincoln was a known agent of the railroads and that Grant's administration was corrupt, as other 19th-century administrations might have been when the creation of a new nation offered so much to plunder to those with power.

The U.S. Government's plan for World War Three (WW3) is what it has been since the U.S. empire and its "Cold War" began in order to take control over the entire world - that started on 25 July 1945. However, because the U.S. has for decades now been spending over 50% of the world's military expenses (reaching "65% OF TOTAL ANNUAL WORLD MILITARY EXPENDITURES" in 2024) in order to maintain around 900 foreign military bases to police the world for the benefit of America's billionaires who control most of the world's major international corporations, the domestic U.S.
