Trump Pulls Out of Iran Deal – U.S. Determined to Become a Rogue State Let me cut to the chase. Every single world leader knows Trump’s full of shit.

The Road to 2025 (Part 2) – Russia and China Have Had Enough Part 1 of this series focused on how the U.S. empire no longer provides any real benefit to the average American citizen.

The Road to 2025 (Part 1) – Prepare for a Multi-Polar World
The Road to 2025 (Part 1) – Prepare for a Multi-Polar World If pressed to describe what I think the next several years will look like as concisely as possible, I’d simply provide the following quote, often misattributed to Lenin: “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.” There will […]
Liberty Links 4/14/18 – World War 3

As such, here are a few short paragraphs on what I think it all means. I’ll have more next week. I think […]
