When empire collapses, fools rush in.
Lorsqu'on a demandé à Tchekhov quelle était la nature des sociétés défaillantes, il a répondu : "Dans les sociétés défaillantes, il y a mille sots pour chaque esprit éclairé, et mille paroles grossières pour chaque mot conscient. La majorité reste toujours ignorante, et l'homme raisonnable est constamment vaincu. Si vous voyez des sujets futiles dominer les discussions dans une société, et les sots occuper le devant de la scène, alors vous êtes en présence d'une société très défaillante. Par exemple, les chansons et les paroles vides de sens trouvent des millions de gens pour danser et les répéter, et le chanteur devient célèbre, connu et aimé. Au point que les gens prennent son avis sur les questions de la société et de la vie. Quant aux écrivains et aux auteurs, personne ne les connaît et personne ne leur accorde de valeur ou de poids. La plupart des gens aiment la futilité et l'anesthésie. Quelqu'un qui nous anesthésie pour nous éloigner de nos pensées, et quelqu'un qui nous fait rire avec des futilités, est meilleur que quelqu'un qui nous réveille à la réalité et nous fait mal en disant la vérité. C'est pourquoi la démocratie ne convient pas aux sociétés ignorantes, car c'est la majorité ignorante qui décidera de votre destin." Le monde littéraire.

Preparation: The major Saudi offensive will give Trump what he wants Saudi Arabia is planning a large-scale operation against the Houthis in Yemen, to contain the attacks and the naval blockade the group imposed in the Red Sea. The Saudi leadership has already approved the operational plans, under study for weeks. What forced Riyadh to move was the escalation. The Houthis stepped up strikes directly on the Saudi capital, hit Aramco complexes in Riyadh, the port of Yanbu and other strategic targets, and cut Saudi exports. The kingdom had to answer. The Saudi-led coalition intensified bombings in Sanaa, Saada and Taiz. It is still carrying a humiliating defeat from weeks ago, when the Houthis took almost the entire Red Sea coast in less than 72 hours. The Saudis have been meeting the Turks and the Pakistanis and sketching a way to deal with the Houthis. The real shift was the rapprochement with the Emirates, built for this operation. Saudi Arabia and the UAE will put the anti-Houthi factions and local militias they trained back into the field. The ground push stands or falls on those forces. The advance on the ground, with the armored vehicles, will be done by the anti-Houthi Yemeni militias, the official government forces and the southern separatists. Riyadh and Abu Dhabi supplied the weapons and the light armor so that more than 100,000 Yemeni fighters do the physical advance. Saudi Arabia will use its fighters and missiles heavily for the opening strikes and fire support. Drones are already over Yemen, watching and striking. The Saudis and advisers from the Mecca pact want a limited coastal assault, stuck to the littoral, to retake Bab el-Mandeb, at the same time as ground attacks through Al-Bayda, Marib, Taiz and Al-Jawf, pushing the Houthis on several fronts at once. The STC forces were politically beaten by the Saudis months ago, but those militias still answer to Abu Dhabi’s money. Riyadh needs the Emirati go-ahead for these Yemeni fighters to march north and take the front line against the Houthis. We are talking about tens of thousands of men. The ports and islands are the other point where the UAE is indispensable. They built and hold the military infrastructure along the islands and ports of southern Yemen, on the Gulf of Aden. Without those bases and runways, the coalition cannot resupply the armor or run the coastal assault on Bab el-Mandeb. A ground campaign on this scale burns billions in fuel, ammunition, armor maintenance and militia pay. Emirati money takes part of that off Riyadh. The Saudis will try to hold the air and the sea. F-15s, Typhoons and missile systems do the bombing of Houthi positions, while regular Saudi troops stay on the border and inside the kingdom, intercepting missiles and drones and covering the critical sites. Nothing new there. It is what they have already been doing, without much result. I expect serious losses in the Saudi asset park in this round. Read more: global21.substack.com/p/prep…

hmmm...
In very simple terms the world is now going through a complete renaissance which happens rarely in human history. Rival nuclear powers, who are never going to war, are having to manage a period in which the balance of power, economic and financial architecture and rules of coercion and order are all changing simultaneously and in uniquely profound ways. The old world has been dead for a number of years and is never coming back. Something we explained in great detail over a decade ago.

NAOMI KLIEIN to SAM ALTMAN: "...you ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation and without credit to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed. You are not 'liberating human creativity' -- you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft 'training data'."

Very interesting letter from Iran, that Americans aren't supposed to read. Instead, you're supposed to be MAGA-tard idiot who accepts a $5,000 bribe to keep voting for more idiots in the White House.

The 10-year yield (on U.S. Treasuries) just hit 5.2% The U.S. Treasury must refinance $9.7 trillion of maturing securities in the next 12 months. That's about one-third of all outstanding marketable U.S. debt. Annual interest payments on the debt will then hit $1.2 trillion. (!) And the annual budget deficit is about to hit $2 trillion on top of that, which means we are now watching a self-reinforcing spiral into the final chapter of debt oblivion. This ends in currency collapse, a devastating wipeout of dollar purchasing power, and the end of the U.S. empire. "It'll be a mercy killing, really," - Kevin Spacey's character in "Margin Call." (A movie you should watch again, several times.) Anybody who knows how to punch keys on a $5 calculator can easily do the math and arrive at the same inescapable conclusion: This ends in catastrophe.
