Tomorrow looks like a busy day, but I’ve done a limited transcript of a conversation between Danny Davis and Doug Macgregor. I’ve skipped the Ukraine part and gone ahead to the Palestine/Middle East part, which begins around 39:00. I’ve mostly only transcribed Macgregor’s comments—the few by Davis are clearly marked. I promise, it’s much more interesting than the title line suggests:
Remember a few years ago when the World Economic Forum listed several predictions for the World in 2030, eg. 'you will own nothing and you will be happy'? Do you remember what else was on that list? They predicted that by 2030 the U.S.A. would be just one of several powers rather than a hegemonic superpower. Is that part of what we are witnessing, an orchestrated slapdown of America? Is America being led down that path with aforethought?
The Azerbaijan posturing is very odd, it’s capital, population centres and industry are very accessible to Iran and Russia and there is no strategic depth to speak of.
I’m wondering if it’s being dangled to draw Turkey, the gorilla in the room, into a wider conflict.
“I'm not confident that Mr Biden is really in charge. I think he has handlers who move him from place to place, who hand him things to say--which he says” - Col. Macgregor
James O’Keefe has a suggestion: a bonafide Neocon (and Zhou’s former Covid tsar) Jeff Zeints:
Precisely, IJM, I agree 100%. I think MacGregor is right in all he says here. We need people like him in positions where they can actually make a difference - people who have the experience and expertise to offer valuable insight, the courage to express their opinions, and the humility to not be interested in self-promotion or self-aggrandizement. These are the people who will understand Thucydides' statement. No one is perfect or is always right but anyone with beliefs grounded in morality (an understanding of right and wrong, and of human nature) will always be better than someone who doesn't have such beliefs.

Strange on the grain purchase. I could find No explanation of why. Sounds like Latvia had banned imports.

It's being dangled to try and start a third World war. They're moving chess pieces around just like they did before the two previous wars.

Zients - correction!
I'm praying for sanity to prevail. I fear a major humbling is coming our way.
The two colonels make a lot of sense.
