The demographic time bomb that will consume China and is coming our way if we don’t do something may have a solution, and Peter Zeihan thinks he knows who will point the way.

The creation of Israel/Palestine borders (via the Balfour Declaration) and the partition of Ireland into Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland were both outcomes of British imperial decisions, and both have resulted in prolonged, identity-driven conflicts. However, they differ in origins, religious dynamics, international dimensions, and…[Read more]

Well written and spot on Reg.

It is carping and only academic but i believe Palestina was the term used by Romans to dissasociate Jews from their homeland after putting down Jewish rebellions. And there were later references to Palestine but in the early 20th century Palestine was used to refer to the Jewish homeland. Thus the Palestine Post,…[Read more]

Robert,

Ahh…afraid of China owning US treasuries, are you? The reason they did is that until recently our bonds were as good as gold and the dollar was the world’s currency. The entire planet was invested in the success of our government and society. Now that the codependency (aka “globalism”) and our special status is being destroy…

If the EU can grant Temporary Protection Directive status for 4.2 million Ukrainians, then surely the rich Arab nations can do the same for 2.2 million (or many more) Palestinians in their own countries?

Could it be that authoritarian regime like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or the UAE just don’t want politically active populations, and Palestinians a…[Read more]

Robert,

No that was not directed to you! In general i have found you to be quite the reasonable person and well above average intelligence.

Merely spitting in the…[Read more]

Unseen,

Ah, the national debt may not matter anyway…

Except that what the Government taxes us to pay just the interest is that much less that private Citizens can invest in goods and services-producing businesses to keep GDP growing.

Note to self: Do not hire such economists or Janet Yellen to administer so much as an ice cream truck.

Again, they probably won’t connect the dots because of the horrors of “Hunter Biden’s Laptop” and trans-story hour.

What dots?

Whether this century will be Chinese or American is up to us. But the time to change course is quickly running out.

Well, if the first 25 years matters the most, we have been Trumped. USA + Jesus will prevail !
