Here's why Trump's suggestion that Iran could join the Abraham Accords reflects a foreign policy of real physical economics — and why the CFR's new "Future of American Strategy" project is a tacit admission that the British-led liberal international order is finished.
Trump got Xi's "secret garden" tour, Bessent cornered the City of London, and the Senate revolted in his favor. Across this week's shows, one frame keeps surfacing: the American System is back, and the empire is out of moves.
As globalization collapses, America faces a deeper crisis of culture, identity, and purpose. Mike explores Poe’s “Descent into the Maelstrom,” the rebuilding of American industry, the conflict with Iran, and the spiritual foundations needed to revive the nation.
The Midweek Update - External Revenue Service, Confirmations, Green Genocide & LA Firestorms - January 15, 2025
As the confirmation battles unfold and the fires rage in Los Angeles, the first question to ask is "What is the strategic terrain on which all of this is happening?"
In this episode of The Midweek Update, host Susan Kokinda delves into the strategic battle between the globalist system and the American system led by Donald Trump. She discusses Trump's aggressive policies, including the creation of an external revenue service and key confirmation hearings for his nominees. Kokinda highlights the ideological conflict between the American system of sovereignty and the British-style globalism. She also addresses environmental extremism and its impacts on California's fires, framing it within the broader context of ideological control exerted by globalist forces.
