This episode argues that leaked details of a Trump-Netanyahu call and John Bolton’s complaints reveal Trump’s rejection of the traditional National Security Council process and the permanent intelligence bureaucracy’s control over presidential decision-making.
It links that shift to Trump’s appointment of Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence, citing establishment and bipartisan backlash and JD Vance’s statement that the intel bureaucracy must answer elected leadership. The script then highlights Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue, describing a move away from “globalist” rules-based rhetoric toward a scoped Pacific posture defined by a balance of power, sovereignty, free commerce, and improved U.S.-China relations.
Finally, it cites a Council on Foreign Relations essay, “After Hegemony,” as an admission that the old Hobbes/Locke philosophical basis of geopolitics is ending, framing the conflict as empire versus sovereign nations. – Promethean Updates
We have known Susan Kokinda for 35 years and can assure you she is quite sane. You just don’t know the historical background. We have done our research. Ed
If I saw Iran launch one of those hypersonic missiles into a US Destroyer or Aircraft carrier then I would believe we are in a real war. If that same missile was launched hitting somewhere prominent in TelAviv or IDF air bases or straight down the silo tube housing the nucs delivering real retribution, again I would believe we are in a real war. Until then we are witness to a psyop pantomime that only brings misery to the vunrible.
Maybe ‘Stop the Prison Mentality’ you have a giant dose of TDS.
Cedric Joseph said – “… TRUMP, SITTING PRESEDENT IS THE “MAN OF SIN”…”
No he’s not, he’s really not that significant, he’s just a very naughty boy, just an irrelevant blip in the fabric of time and space and world history.
True, Trump is Super War Criminal Trump, greedy remorseless and self-santifying, but so was Stalin and an endless list of tyrannical megalomaniacs before him.
Let’s just face it, folks, Trump is a clumsily crafted Trojan Horse to lure us all into mayhem and destruction, but that’s all he is. Another mass-murdering psychopath living dreams of perpetual grandeur with delusions of god-hood.
FWIW, if you can survive the next five or six years, we’ll all witness the disintegration of the so-called United States into a handful of adversarial tribal conglomerations. Much like the Soviet Union, only worse, with much more depravity and violence. And Canada too.
And in case you haven’t been watching, the UK is f*cked.
Lord knows what will be left of Australia by then. Such a shame, the only nation in recorded Human history to have an entire continent all to itself, we had it all and we just didn’t care enough to keep it, we didn’t appreciate or value or protect what God in his wisdom gave us, we allowed the gangsters and pirates and thieves and rapists to come right on in and infest the place from top to bottom and inside out, we let it all slip through our fingers and into our early graves.
No country is indispensible, never has been in history, ever. The only ones that endure have resilient people and cultures that MAKE them so. And strangely enough, no matter what, the Earth keeps turning. If we don’t give enough of a shit to fight to keep what we got, the Earth doesn’t care much either.
The problem I find with Trump is that he tales a long time to deliver. He knows Benny Net is a psychopath, yet supplied arms to him to perpetrate the genocide in Gaza, which is inexcusable (I bought the highly disturbing DVD The Voice of Hind Rajab video on Monday, to hear the actual calls of this subsequently murdered six year old girl pleading with the Palestinian Red Crescent peopel to come and rescue here, because she was scared. I bet she was, as the IDF tank that took her out approached the family’s car she was in, which contained the dead bodies of a number of her family.
I also can’t believe that Trump was fooled by Fauci and endorsed the Warp Speed vaccination program that has reaped so much havoc.
Too many people have gone down-died-for any plausible deniability to be legitimate.
The women and children who died in Gaza are/were, by international law, regarded as noncombatants, yet America, under Trump, couldn’t send enough ordnance to Israel.
Too many peopel gone-and that is the rub.
I have the number of the US Embassy here, and am tempted to phone and ask if Trump intends to arrest Netanyahu and send him to Gitmo for a military court martial?
If so, well and good, but that will still be too late for the families, if they still exist, of all those murdered Palestinian people.
What I had to say about it at the time-and I asked Marles’s staffer about it, who was negatori, though I doubt the Palestinians would have accepted it, as they regard the place as their homeland and would likely not budge:

Honestly, I got 4 minutes into that, and really it has to be said that she is off her nut delusional loop de loop dribbling insane.
Trump is a grifting fuckwit. That should be pretty clear by now. Interpreting him doing his own grifting shit as “re-asserting the power and position” of the us president is absolutely bonkers LSD material.
But this is Clownworld, so, SNAFU.
@Cedric Joseph: The Man of Sin was revealed in 538AD, identified and publicly preached by the Reformers from Wycliffe, Hus, Luther, Tyndale, Latimer, Cranmer and many others, plus all the Protestant churches till 1900. False doctrines took over from 1820 through Ribera-Irving=Darby-Scofield-Schaeffer-Dallas_Theological_College. It’s still the same institution.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2 Thess 2:3-4)
TRUMP, SITTING PRESEDENT IS THE “MAN OF SIN”, “HE SITS IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD” , IN OUR PRESENCE. WE THE BODY OF CHRIST ARE THE TRUE TEMPLE OF GOD WITH A CAPITAL G. (1COR 6:19) Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
“SHOWING HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD”- IN THOSE AI GOD PICTURES HE POSTED OF HIMSELF.
