A bipartisan ruling class governs the United States. There’s no difference between the leaders of the Democratic or Republican parties. What these people refuse to accept is that the US is no longer as influential as it was. Furthermore, the US will never again be as influential as it was. And that’s a good thing….
Hoplology prevents me from being fooled into panicking
August 5, 2016
Everyone should study hoplology, the science of combat. A good hoplologist can tell you about the video below. It’s said to show a Russian precision air strike on a tank of the Levant Conquest Front in Aleppo. The reporter is from al Jazeera. What actually happened is that the tank fired its main gun. That’s…
Theater in the Middle East is impossible to decipher
August 2, 2016

Performance art wins the war in Syria
April 18, 2016
Nobody will ever be able to write the history of the Syrian civil war. Too much of it is performance art that’s necessary to avoid the mistakes of every single western power that has fought in the Middle East. The performers putting on the show can’t take a bow, which is a shame. They’re absolutely…
Desperate deception versus brilliant deception
February 16, 2016
It took me all day to figure out this one. I knew immediately that the Syrians and Russians were ladling cow manure over the heads of the press, but the fatal rot of journalism made it very hard for me to find the answer. This clumsy attempt at deception shows how desperate Assad and his…
