Steve Sailer’s prescient September 2001 article, “What Will Happen in Afghanistan,” was published just eight days after President Bush’s joint resolution authorizing the use of force, and just over a week before the bombs of Operation Enduring Freedom began to drop.
All excellent points, Raheem, as per usual. "The Elites want war". Yes they do, as they and their families do not fight them, the working classes do. I lost a brother in the Vietnam War in 1968, a waste of his young and promising life. That event changed my entire life and shifted me to rebel and skeptic. Keep writing, Raheem, we need your brilliance. Wendy
Zelensky burned whatever bridges he may have felt were still standing with his childish sanctimony in the Oval Office.
Number One, Zelensky does little honor to the Guest-Host relationship in that, as an invited guest, he chose to argue with his host in front of the press and, hence, public about renegotiating an already-agreed-upon contract for rare earth minerals. This was supposed to be a signing ceremony…not a negotiating session. Zelensky chose to make it one. He pushed for enhanced security protections beyond the implicit ones that would result from a massive US/Ukrainian mining contract. It should have gone without saying that, if the United States becomes involved in a massive bilateral agreement of this sort, the security interests in protecting its business partner are implicit! But Zelensky had other ideas.
Number Two, you don’t slap your host in the face with sarcastic comments like “you have a nice ocean”separating the US from the European continent. The United States lost hundreds of thousands of young men and women who traversed that ocean throughout the 20th century defending Europe from itself. What hubris to insinuate that the oceans protect us in any way shape or form. Forget not Pearl Harbor. And nighttimes during WWII, my own hometown had to paint over the headlights of its automobiles, lest German U-boats prowling in that nighttime ocean have a clearer target.
Zelensky was clearly out of place, like a petulant nine-year-old screaming obscenities during church. After such hubristic insolence, even apologies would not completely repair the damage wrought in the already fragile relations between the Trump Administration and the corrupt country he rules as a self-appointed dictator. Politically, Zelensky is a dead man walking.
Why are we to hate Putin? The more they hate him, the more I like him. Makes me think they are the bad guys. Peace not War. What happened to the damn democrats? They have truly turned into a cult.
Over the weekend I happened to catch a piece of a news commentary by John Brennan. He spoke as someone in charge, basically scolding President Trump and Vice President Vance for disrespecting a wonderful man as Zelenskyy. Brennan's slathering description of Zelenskyy immediately made me think of the descriptions given of Raymond Shaw in the "Manchurian Candidate" movie.
The globalists want conflict and death on a world-wide scale.
Peace conflicts with their agenda.
Putin isn’t a globalist- we have that in common. The Biden regime and NAT0 broke the treaty with Russia by trying to add Ukraine to NATO. He defended his border and for that I cannot fault him.
We were not privy to any pre-conflict communication. I’d almost guarantee you that Putin warned Zelensky, potentially Biden/Harris and NATOof the violation aNd to desist.
Further, Trump betraying Ukraine for Putin Is as if France and Spain had betrayed America's founding fathers for King George III of England
America's Freedom would not exist without France and Spain
So we have a debt to always pay forward not to French and Spain which have debased themselves since What to those who love and fight and die for freedom.
I should not have to explain this
This should be a near universal belief and resolve of Americans
Your substack was just babble that didn't say anything
Raheem right again. It must be exhausting.
Bravo Raheem👏👏 Excellent analogy

Thank you Raheem. I always feel smarter (and have enjoyed a few laughs)after reading your articles.
Love this. Whodathunk war over peace could be so controversial.

What is so terrifying about those who want wars, is, they are so terrifying. Thank you Raheem.
So excellent. Just knocking down the bottles with every shot.
A lot of words that say nothing.
