Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk.

But before explaining the American tragedy and fate, let me remind you about James Howard Kunstler's massively important piece. Keep your opinions about James' Zionist tendencies to yourself, there is no denial that he nailed it. Five years back with diagnosis properly titled Boomer Elegy. 

Which is probably where things really went off the rails. The Boomers should never have been allowed in those offices, especially the ones within ten miles of Wall Street. That’s where the cleverest among us came up with the signal innovations that have now wrecked the world. The corona virus is a very bad thing, for sure, but it’s really nothing compared to the deliberate wickedness that engineered the so-called financialized economy — a supernatural matrix of something-for-nothing swindles and frauds that purported to replace actual work that produced things of value. The great lesson of the age was lost: the virtual is not a substitute for the authentic. And now the Boomer geniuses of finance are scrambling frantically to hurl imaginary money into the black hole they have opened with their own reckless wizardry. But black holes are nothing like ordinary holes. They are unfillable. They just suck everything into a cosmic vacuum that resembles something like death — which, in its implacable mystery, may just be a door to a new disposition of things, the next life, the next reality.

Read the whole thing, it is strongly suggested for filling in holes of the foundation, or rather lack thereof of America's collapse. They are repulsive, not all, of course, but very many. They are not geniuses. We can see the results of their "genius" every day. So, Tucker is right--the only way they think is in clichés and templates. 

US humanities education dominated by brainwashed Karens of both genders is a fraud, a sinecure created for unprincipled, vengeful and petty to have what amounts to a welfare, which poisoned American culture. Their "human rights" gave us a thug culture, attempts at institutionalizing pedophilia and leaving next generation facing an economic apocalypse. They are also fanatically aggressive in foreign affairs in an attempt to hide their cowardice through sending those "deplorables" to the far away lands to die for the corporate bottom line and boomers portfolios and then brag about it as if it was them who were dying and killing civilians in some shithole. And so, here we are today and we all know that in the only truly bi-partisan effort, both GOPers and DNC rich and influential supporters came together in covering up pedophilia of a ruling class. Their own class. 

And then, there are born-again "Christians", most in the same boat with Israel-worshiping US dispensationalists and the curse of Scofield abomination they call Bible which gave us a 50-million strong army of genocide supporters. Lovely country they leave all of us. In related news, State Department's Tammy Bruce had to perform verbal equilibristic yesterday trying to explain that Trump's "50 days deadline" is not quite 50 days and may not be a deadline at all. A convoy of KAMAZ trucks was seen entering the Spasskie Gate in Kremlin delivering a supply of pop-corn. 

It's Alive, It's Alive!(c)

Esmail Qaani, the commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), is alive. Evidently NYT already took down the article, LOL))

Now if our Jewish friends, and I know many decent and honorable Jews read this blog too, could confirm the content of this Zionist tweet that BiBi is lying, the Israel's damage is catastrophic (hundreds of billions, shekels I assume) and that Iran is much stronger. 

When I Talk About...

... inability to plan operationally and strategically on the part of Washington in general and Pentagon in particular, I do not mean it as a figure of speech. I really mean it in terms of actual planning. Six years ago I called the lack of this ability "the myopia". 

The definition must be changed. With myopia one at least can see near oneself. This IS NOT the case with Washington--it cannot see what is immediately in a front of its eyes and the issue is not myopia but what some people, yours truly included, begin to increasingly assertively state--there is NO strategic planning in Washington at all. It is not just the inability to strategically plan, it is a complete absence of such in principle. 

It is a systemic problem and it cannot be addressed without rebuilding the system from the ground up and the good first step would be throwing out all those Ph.Ds in "strategy" who infest US "academe" and think-tankdom while having no fucking clue about what they preach. Studying military and political history in and of itself does not represent "strategic studies" due to inherently complex nature of modern warfare and a required accuracy in description of the object of study, such as a country, in our particular case--Russia. The US in general, and combined West in particular, DO NOT have the tool kit to handle all that, we can say it now with confidence. So, the issue is multifaceted and pseudo-academe and "experts" who dominate decision-making chain in the US are incapable of correcting the course. It is too late now anyway. 

And that is my point, the US is so deep in lies, about itself, about the world, about history, about military et al, that I don't see how can one reasonably debate those people, those masters of discourse who pretend that learning several stratagems and abstract "strategic" constructs makes them masters of "strategy". As was stated numerous times--enough to look at the version of WW II by those "masters" to understand how hollow and ignorant they are. E.g. Mearsheimer's quip about liberal democracy "defeating Nazism" while quoting Fukuyama. So, I can sit here and produce one example after another for days, but that's not the point. The point is--US "strategic planning" is non-existent category and anyone who pushes the idea that it exists today should be disqualified as a scholar, since doctrine and strategy-mongering is not strategic planning, especially when done by people who are lost in the complexities of the modern world. 

The existence of people here and there who do understand this fallacy does not change the issue that the problem is systemic and cannot be addressed from within--the critical mass of thinkers with integrity and intellectual tool kit are simply not there. And even the US military is losing remaining ability extremely fast--not surprising considering a catastrophe in military education. And here we are today:

How do you even deal with that? I don't know yet. But I was warning about this for many years. Once this whole myth is exposed, as it was in 404, where do you go from here, when the whole house of cards is built on lies. How can you talk to any Ph.D in "international affairs" or in "strategy" when most of them do not know basic facts of history and have zero military professional apparatus to pass judgement on the foundation of geopolitics which is not geography but balance of power? I don't know, I just know that they cannot hide anymore the scale of a catastrophe. Ideas?
