“But rather than enhance American power, the war has constrained it…But most importantly, the rapid withdrawals have taught a lesson to the Iranians — and potentially to other adversaries — that they hold the power to chase out a superpower.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/u...

From Iran to the U.K., Trump Is Being Forced Into Retreat
A war that was intended to demonstrate the reach of American power has now done the opposite. It is a lesson in unintended consequences.

Hamas runde Gaza als een quasi-totalitaire staat, met willekeurige arrestaties van politieke tegenstanders, martelingen en publieke executies. Wie voor die club gaat lopen demonstreren, spoort niet.

Wall Street profits and bonuses are poised to hit a record high. CEO pay is up. Corporate profits are skyrocketing. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. Meanwhile, inflation eats up the paychecks of working people as the social safety net is cut out from underneath them. Trumponomics.

The old cliche about the radical Left was that it produced highly committed but joyless politicians who were the worst advertisement for their own ideals. This new generation of radical left politicians is very different: they’re great communicators, and are putting the fun back in politics.
