Interesting article about the Islamic State (ISIS) and how many formerly supportive people are turning against it: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/islamic-states-double-standards-sow-growing-disillusion/ar-BBonCK1?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=TSHDHP ISIS seems, in many respects, to be a new social elite that...

To respectfully clarify, I really don’t think that Russia would have too much ability to dominate Western Europe if it were brazen enough to try that. Such attacks upon it would almost surely trigger a NATO response, no matter how many US tanks and other military equipment have been removed from tha...

Very interesting scenario, Reality Check. I do think, however, during a Crisis Era, that if Russia actually got that hog-wild in gobbling up big chunks of Europe, that there would be inexorable forces causing Russia to eventually clash with both China and the United States.

Appreciate the report you posted. I think that the current Late Third/Early Fourth Turning ethos we seem to be currently in also affects much more than just financial thinking — even the craptastic Auto-Tuned, bad techno music and painfully bad rap and other pop that dominates today (along with the ...

Moscow Expresses ‘Concern’ for Estonia’s Russian Community A Russian diplomat said Estonia, like Ukraine, needed to respect the rights of its Russian speakers A Russian diplomat voiced “concern” over Estonia’s treatment of its Russian-speaking minority on Wednesday, one day after Russia formally an...

However, based upon what I am discerning, I feel that even if Obama were willing to pony up very deep cuts to non-Obamacare Federal programs in order to save Obamacare, that there would still be the libertarian/individualist/paleoconservative contingent in the US House of Representatives which woul...
