Mike Steger argues Trump's Iran strategy is really about reorganizing global relations to end neocon permanent-war dynamics, framing U.S.–Russia collaboration as the decisive pivot for ending perpetual war.
While media attention fixates on Iran, a broader strategic shift is unfolding as great powers act in their own sovereign interests, with Trump identifying Zelenskyy as the obstacle to peace and Russia naming Britain as the saboteur.

From rebuilding our industrial base to advancing cutting-edge technologies, the incoming administration's plans promise to propel our nation forward, creating jobs, fostering innovation, and reasserting American dominance on Earth and beyond.
Thursday, January 16, 2025, marked a significant day for space exploration.
In the early hours, Blue Origin achieved a major milestone by successfully reaching orbit with the inaugural flight of its New Glenn launch vehicle.
However, the first stage failed in its attempt to land on a ship at sea.
Later that day, SpaceX conducted its seventh test flight of the Starship/Superheavy combination.
While the Superheavy booster successfully returned to the launch tower arms for the second consecutive time, the Starship encountered issues:

Elon Musk provided an initial report on the Starship loss, with expectations to fly again in February. The investigation will likely focus on recent changes made in the transition from Block 1 to Block 2 configuration.
Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity.

Apart from obviously double-checking for leaks, we will add fire suppression to that volume and…

In the upcoming American Golden Age with Trump, America should provide financial backing to overcome obstacles in perfecting processes and products, fostering innovation and progress across various sectors.
After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way?
There's no resource crisis — only a technology crisis. The critical minerals challenge proves what counts as a "resource" is defined by our technology, not nature.
The U.S. is exposed on critical minerals — not just in the ground, but in how we process them. Ben Deniston on the higher-energy technologies that could close that gap for good.
The universe isn't a machine. Bruce Director makes the case that consciousness, creativity, and Plato are coming back to science — and why that matters for everything.
Trump lost the Supreme Court tariff ruling—and immediately hit back with new tariffs. But the real story is bigger: America's productive economy has been hollowed out, and tariffs are the way back.
