If I were a betting guy, I’d bet that this fall could provide some geopolitical fireworks. There are a lot of developments unfolding, and the Neocons find themselves facing pressure due to the disastrous war on Russia. Things are not going well on either the military or the economic fronts. That’s not a prediction of US collapse. It’s simply a recognition that our Imperial freedom of action is increasingly constrained.
1. Turkey leaves Nato. I think Erdogen will waffle and apply for Brics, while staying in Nato.
2. Saudi Arabia takes Yuan in payment
3. Right Wing takes power in Germany
4. France kicked out of Africa
5. Chinas economy gets worse
6. Credit card debt enters death spiral. Getting closer.
7. Euro needs to increase interest rates that blow up Euro, due to us and boj interest rates.
8. Trump forces an impeachment of Biden (my daughter asked me if I think Biden will be impeached, and my answer was no. I trust the eGOP to ignore their voters ).
9. Trump focuses on steps to prevent repeat of out of control cheating of 2020.
10. Trump gets convicted in one of these kangaroo courts.
11. Ukraine collapses militarily
12. Treasury turns on printing presses to kick economic issues to after 2024 ele, while Fed tightens.
13. UAW strike
14. Trump goes after Black votes using illegal immigration
15. Jab data becomes too big to ignore, and Trump amplifies.
16. Musk successfully uses lawfare to go after enemies targeting his Twitter advertising, and Twitter turns a profit.
17. Tucker keeps doing his ground breaking interviews.
18. Trump backs and creates infrastructure to support anti Dei / crt school board elections and going after gop state organizations to get a Maga take over.
19. Trump gets slapped with something to silence him
20. Us Scotus ignores Trump kangaroo courts and allows circus to continue
21. EGOP efforts at state level against Trump result in a huge backlash.
22. Crime continues to grow in Blue Cities and states.
23. Increase in concealed carry permits in blue states due to Scotus decisions (and increased crime motivates people to go through all the hoops in place. In LA area about 6 months now. Used to be only friends of the LA Sheriff could get).
I’m been day dreaming since reading Tom Luongo on how he questions why something is being covered by the news, about what major stories are not being covered.
I keep on finding major facts I had no idea about, and are at odds with the msm, and the eGOP narratives.
The 5 disagreements with Tucker over at powerline shocked me, especially since I agreed with Tucker.
A couple of strange things
My parents electric bill in so ca is around $600, and they consider this normal. 10 years ago the amount would be considered insane.
Activision is using ai to monitor in game voice chats for gate speech.
I think it was treehouse, talking of how AI could create incredible shadowbanning and gas lighting.
I’ve finally concluded that the open U.S. border is about pulling a uk labor party to create a correct voting population. Only took me 3 years to figure this out.
Strange and interesting times for sure. It shows how many in our country are influenced by liberal MSM outlets; who support the Federal gov't at all costs. In turn, this influence provides the appropriate degree of slanted views that empower our Federal gov't. Lack of curiosity, lack of critical thinking, and being subjected to one view of all topics will lead to further demise of our culture and our values. Sad.
I expect Samantha (US Aid) Powers to be all over the Caucuses. Sizing up various countries ESG and DEI scores and contributing economic, political, and military based on their ranking.
Erodgan can't be trusted as long as Turkey is in NATO and Putin knows this. He's on his last leg as President anyways (since recent elections) and I believe Putin will ride him out.
I find that TL over-complicates things sometimes. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. I don't believe that the Anglosphere is behind the coups in West Africa. If they had been, Nuland wouldn't be in complete panic mode. Tom is, however, right on the money when he says that it is Europe that is going to be hit hard - very hard - and the US capacity to project force in order to remain top dog is increasingly limited.
Ha! Just started listening to Mercouris on the Putin - Erdogan talks. Mercouris starts out stating upfront: The grain deal was just a cover story for the two to get together and talk about other things that weren't mentioned in the official communique--LOTS of other things. BRICS is one of those things. Erdogan has been in touch with China and Iran to smooth the way.
Possible major Fall events:
1. Turkey leaves Nato. I think Erdogen will waffle and apply for Brics, while staying in Nato.
2. Saudi Arabia takes Yuan in payment
3. Right Wing takes power in Germany
4. France kicked out of Africa
5. Chinas economy gets worse
6. Credit card debt enters death spiral. Getting closer.

Love your “lists” Ray. Need time to figure some funny, sarcastic, slapstick responses.
Thanks AC!

We all have our time tables which differ on different issues. Its great all of us are seeing - truly seeing for the first time 🥰
Armenia sounds likes it’s committing Western Suicide.
Strange politics.
Will Iran and Azerbaijan make up?

Excellent discussion:
Putin and Erdogan, no grain deal. Turkey closer to BRICS

Erdogen has economic problems at home, and he can see Europes economy has major issues. And Turkey will never get Eu membership.
The only nearby large economy/ country that is growing is Russia.
Borrell on adding 10 new EU members.

Very informative.
Wars of economic corridors...
wasn't even considered an "economic corridor" until recently. Go figure.

Agreed; however Macron is now beating the ECOWAS drums.
Let's see how much support he gets, and how effective any intervention will be.
If Macron takes the Zhou's all in.

Interesting. I had a hunch about this after reading your earlier post on this.
If I were Putin, I wouldn't trust Erdogan as far I could throw him. Same for BRICS. This guy is a loose cannon wherever he goes.
