Immature Leadership in Serious Times
Children in charge of a nuclear armed, contracting empire

Children Starting a War
The teenage group reinforcement seen in the Signal leak displayed none of the gravitas commensurate with the scale of the actions being discussed by the US "principles". US political “leaders” were back slapping each other for starting a war which they will lose.
The best scenario of the leak was that an aid of US National Security Adviser Waltz invited the journalist, Goldberg, into the group without informing Waltz. This may have been to expose the giddy war planning, the horror of the group's lawless, inept employ of the US military. A more probable explanation is that the invite was accidental, which extends the ineptitude.
The US cannot sustain what it has begun. It will fail and give the Democrat opposition plenty of opportunity to score political points. Gabbard was trapped in the Congress with (paraphrasing):
If the conversation contained no classified material, give it to us. Otherwise, you were illegally exposing classified material outside of secure channels.
As Judge Napolitano noted, the entire group deserve to sit in confinement with Jack Texiera, who was found guilty of the US Intelligence Leaks, for mishandling of sensitive information.
Whipping a Tired Horse
Zionists, American and Israeli, which own the Congress and through it control the appointment to the most significant official positions in the US government, are again controlling US foreign policy in southwest Asia. On top of the risk of outright civil war in Israel, and Netanyahu's goal keeping himself out of gaol, there may be another reason why the Trump administration is being driven towards a war with Iran.
US hegemony has passed. The US empire is declining, but its weakening military still possess the capacity to cause significant damage to Israel's only remaining powerful, regional opponent, Iran. The Zionists, both US and Israeli, may sense a degree of urgency to utilize that capability before it further wanes.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson has described a US war with Iran as a loss which will take 10 years and cost over 100,000 dead for many trillions of dollars. It will, essentially, cause a rapid contraction of the US empire, its destruction.
Wilkerson is confident that the Pentagon understands this, and will, therefore, refuse to fight the war. A shadow of this was exhibited by former US Sec. of Defense Austin in August 2024 after a meeting of the international logistics group for Ukraine called the Ukraine Defense Contact Group. He informed the world, and thus NATO, US and Ukrainian leadership, that "no one weapons package" would win the NATO-Russia Ukraine war. By this, he meant both that nuclear weapons are out and the US had met its match on the battlefield. As noted in a previous article at this newsletter, the US withheld one class of missiles, the JASSMs, to not expose their flight characteristics to Russian analysis.
The Zionist influencers are skilled schemers but do not think clearly. As Col. Danny Davis observed, the current Israeli genocide has recruited an entire generation of young men for armed opposition to the Israeli Zionists and their "Greater Israel" project.
Israel cannot kill its way to peace. Its actions have damned it to violent opposition for another generation. Israel’s genocide has created even bigger problems for itself. It is isolating itself from the rest of the world and dividing the fabric of its own society. Both of these are contributing to the current Zionist leadership’s drive for war with Iran, based on the equally stupid belief that this will solve their problems.
Their logic is the same as the Zionists who advocated for Israel. The ends justify the means. Provoking an external actor, Iran, to attack Israel will rally international support for the project. This diabolical logic has no strategy beyond permanent warfare.
World Conservatives, Unite!
Behind the current shift in US politics is a cultural movement back to "traditional family values", perverted with the violence which is inherent to US society. This schism within US society could be defined as an "anti-Woke" movement which Donald Trump has unified and utilized. An academic description of it from a decade or so ago was described by Rhode Island University Professor Nicolai Petro to Prof. Diesen on his recent discussion program. The cultural rebellion against 5-genders and other immoral variants, seen as perversions, spans the US via eastern Europe (Hungary being a case in point) to Russia itself.
This is both dangerous and important. The danger lies in the "Christian fascist" right, as long described by Chris Hedges, which aligns itself with the Zionist ethnic supremacists. An important outgrowth of anti-Woke Conservatives are renewed relations with Russia. These will permit stronger relations between the US and Russian military which can only be a good thing. Russia's military leadership well understand that a nuclear weapons exchange is uncontrollable and leads to civilizational obliteration. Having these two nuclear powers' military leaders in discussion will enable them to reinforce their frank assessment that this cannot be allowed to happen.
This brings us to another salient observation by Wilkerson. While the US empire is waning, this type of imperial contraction has never happened before. No other contracting, world spanning empire has had nuclear weapons. We are in a unique moment. It requires considerable maturity. Your author observes this level of maturity in the other two great powers of Russia and China.
The recent Signal leak, "Yemen-gate", exposed just how bereft of maturity is the current US political leadership and its coterie of officials approved by the Zionist owned Congress.

What 's going on in the US, Hungary does not need the word "antiwoke" to define the label.
What is is bog standard reactionary movements. We have seen them all over the world. Some recent examples include the Taliban in Afghanistan. The same lizard-brain reactions to any change and even to science and facts.
Its not a coincidence that Trump is dismantling the departments of education, of health science, and of environmental protection, and even of scientists studying weather, nature and climate.
Its not a coincidence that Trump picked to head his department of war, a neo-crusader Pete hegseth, who is "Purifying" the armed forces.
They are an American Taliban. Reactionaries. Nothing new at all.
