Escobar: So Who Wants A Hot War? Authored by Pepe Escobar via The Saker blog, It’s a scorpion battle inside a vortex of distorted mirrors inside a circus. So let’s start with the mirrors in the circus. The non-entity that passes for Ukrainian Foreign Minister traveled to Brussels to be courted by US Secretary of State Blinken and NATO secretary-general Stoltenberg. At best, that’s circus shadowplay. Much more than NATO advisers in a frantic revolving door in Kiev, the real shadowplay is MI6 actually working very close with President Zelensky. Zelensky’s warmongering […]

Goldman: The Economic Surge Is Starting To Flare Out... And Markets Are Starting To Price It In A year ago, Goldman Sachs wrote about an adage that came to characterize the market’s response to the pandemic: "investors can not afford to wait for the resolution to a problem that they know will be resolved." And a year later, around the time Wall Street decided that covid is now behind us, the resolution is well and truly underway in the US with 38% of Americans having already received a first shot of the vaccine ... and nearly 80% of all Americans 65 and older having received […]

How To Start A War Authored by Victor Davis Hanson via AmGreatness.com, Wars often arise from uncertainty. When strong powers appear weak, truly weaker ones take risks they otherwise would not.  Sloppy braggadocio and serial promises of restraint alternatively trigger wars, too. Empty tough talk can needlessly egg on aggressors. But mouthing utopian bromides convinces bullies that their targets are too sophisticated to counter aggression. Sometimes announcing “a new peace process” without any ability to bring either novel concessions or pressures only raises false […]
