A Tripolar World
December 8, 2025
Putin set out in 2022 to destroy Ukraine and fracture Europe. Instead, he has revitalized both. Europe, with Ukraine, will shape the 21st century alongside the United States and China.

Putin's Art of the Steal
December 4, 2025
Putin has no reason to stop because, to him, Trump’s mindless two-track business diplomacy over Ukraine has become a potential “profit center”, not a costly conflict.

Europe Finally Gets It
December 1, 2025
Europe must also adopt and be ready to implement a continental war plan because it is no longer a matter of “if” Russia invades, but “when”.

President Trump believes that the worst war since WWII can be ended by a developer with a Rolodex filled with the names of oligarchs. Ukraine is not a deal or a strip mall, and, thankfully, Europe is rich and united enough to reject a fool’s suggestion that another crazed dictator be appeased.

Trump Trickery
November 24, 2025
Despite the “peace plan’s” avowed intention to bring about “peace”, the plan does the opposite and would dismantle Ukraine as a sovereign state, which would expose it and Europe to more invasions.

Trump's Munich
November 20, 2025
Trump’s “peace” proposals are at best naive and possibly vindictive, and at worst evidence of complicity with Russia. If enacted, Trump’s plan would expose Ukraine and the rest of the continent to future Russian aggression. Another “peace in our time” debacle is about to unfold.

Ukraine's Stain
November 17, 2025
Ukrainians have been fighting a war with Russia for years, and now the country faces a war internally against some of the people who have been entrusted with protecting it: open.substack.com/pub/dianefra...

Russia's Achilles' Heel
November 10, 2025
Russia is not plugged into its neighbors for electricity during shortages, and cannot build or readily replace damaged turbines because it lacks the industrial base or expertise. By contrast, Ukraine is linked to European power sources, and can quickly repair and replace infrastructure equipment.

Putin's Worst Nightmare
November 6, 2025
The China-US geopolitical pivot is good news because its leaders pursue prosperity, job creation, and profits, not carnage and conquest. Their deal is Putin’s worst nightmare.

Epstein: Slime Pays
November 3, 2025
A Prince toppled, Washington crippled, MAGA and Marjorie Taylor Greene upset with Donald Trump, and lots of rich guys suffer from night sweats as the release of all of the “Epstein Files” approaches. This long-suppressed dossier will blow open more hidden networks of money, privilege, and predation.

AI then AGI
October 30, 2025
Albert Einstein stated, “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity”. After the creation of the atomic bomb, he stressed the need to ensure that technological advancements serve to uplift, rather than diminish, humanity.
That time has arrived again.

War against Cartels
October 23, 2025
Trump fuses America’s fight against narcotics, migration, and authoritarianism into a single strategy aimed at reclaiming dominance over the unruly Western Hemisphere. Critics call it reckless. Supporters call it overdue. Activists are counting on Trump’s success to liberate their nations.

Putin, Trump, and Next
October 20, 2025
Putin knows that without a ceasefire win for Trump, the stalemate will grind on, Ukrainians won’t capitulate, and Tomahawks, backed by Ukrainian drones, will eventually have to wipe out what’s left of Russia’s economy. Only a deal can prevent Russia’s collapse and eventual dissolution.

Trump's Peace
October 16, 2025
On Simchat Torah, Jews celebrate not just finishing the Torah but beginning it again — the endless cycle of struggle and renewal. That is the deeper metaphor here. This Agreement may not end the conflict instantly, but it turns the page toward a new reading.

Petro Politics
October 13, 2025
Oil and energy are not just about dollars and cents but are the key to national security. The current oil war will decide who wins in Ukraine, Europe, and the Middle East, but also who will set the rules of the global order for decades to come.

In Gold We Trust
October 9, 2025
The world’s total gold reserves now exceed $4.64 trillion, more than the value of U.S. Treasury securities held abroad for the first time since 1996. This is the clearest signal yet that the world is de-dollarizing — replacing American IOUs with tangible metal.

War in Europe
October 6, 2025
War in Europe is no longer a prediction. The battlefield is littered with swarms of drones, sabotaged cables, nuclear brinkmanship, and oil tankers that double as weapons platforms.
Vladimir Putin’s strategy is to escalate everywhere, at once, daring NATO to blink. And it has.

The Frankenstein War

AI research must be protected from military misuse. It’s clear that Frankenstein’s military monster has left the lab and, unless humanity heeds Zelensky and AI experts, the next world war may not be fought by humans at all … But humans will certainly be its victims.

Venezuela's Venality
September 29, 2025
This month, the U.S. sank four drug-smuggling boats in international waters, killing 17 people. This was a unique counternarcotics operation, and message to President Nicolás Maduro: Venezuela is an enemy narco-state that weaponizes crime against the West that the United States won’t tolerate.
