Trump's second-term economic policies backfire: dollar decline fails to boost exports (US mainly ships raw materials), manufacturing jobs drop 70,000 despite tariffs, and foreign investment flees to more stable economies like China. Tariffs on steel/aluminum ironically raise production costs, making US factories uncompetitive. As Western empires decline amid rising BRICS competition, elites respon...

Analysis of the "Anchorage formula" dispute revealing deep factional splits in Moscow: Lavrov declares the U.S. violated any Anchorage understanding through escalating tanker seizures and sanctions, while Kremlin business factions (Dmitriev) believe deals with Trump envoys can restore economic relations.

Trump administration appears committed to negotiating directly with Tehran while rejecting regime change agendas pushed by globalist interests. Shift from British free-trade system toward Hamiltonian economic model explains Washington's recalibration. Europe increasingly sidelined as U...

Analysis of escalating US-Iran tensions reveals attack unlikely due to Iran's decades-long military preparations: vast drone/missile arsenals, underground facilities, and regional allies (Iraq, Yemen, Hezbollah) ready for all-out war—not limited retaliation.
