Once again the PRC tortoise passes the USA hare because the PRC has a diagnostically relevant intrinsic vision for a sustainable future and the USA has no vision only a derived mission to maximise returns. Organisational structure is essential to success.

I hope people are realising that the greatest threats from the Iran war are the unforeseeable longer-term consequences. A chaotic post-regime Iran could well give rise to even more extreme forces, as occurred in Iraq. It's Epic Folly, even if it doesn't become Epic Fail.

It’s massively significant that many in the West have now openly walked away from in-principle support for an international rules-based order. We’re literally in a new and dangerous era now, and history suggests only a terrible and far-reaching calamity will get us out of it.

This guy is too funny man. The Labor government is only 1% away from falling into third place behind One Nation, but actually the poll is a disaster for the Coalition. And believe it or not, he’s actually closer to reality than most Labor folk who still can’t accept the Hanson is coming for them.

Finally another question I asked someone about an event mentioned in my book turned up some amazing material. Sadly, I can't capture the event as well as they put it, but it'll make an excellent scene in the streaming series adaptation!

We covered the reasons why Albanese is like this on our latest pod. It doesn’t require psychoanalysis imo. He has no moral/political centre, there is no serious left in Australia anymore and the media ecosystem is more right-wing than ever. All of that pulls an operative like him in one direction

Now Ferguson is just quoting Netanyahu to the Israeli ambassador, so Israel’s line is being delivered by the guest and the host. What a debasement of a once vitally important and constructive program.

The issue is there are two different axioms - the human rights one of "it is antisemitic to conflate Israel with Jews" and the Netanyahu one of "it is every Jew's and every ally's duty to defend the actions of the Israeli government". Holding both at once inevitably drives nonsensical conclusions

An LLM will only regurgitate existing ideas! At best your LLM will just tell you what war-gaming nerds on the internet had discussed about an Israel-US war against Iran -- much of it now out of date.

Netanyahu and Israel's cabinet do not want regime change in Iran -- Israeli ministers have __explicitly__ said they want either a non-function nation riven by civil war or a shattered collection of warring states because they _explicitly_ said they saw Iran's existence as a threat.

I do wonder if the regime proves more fragile than expected, but even if/when it collapses, it seems highly unlikely to be replaced by anything better than utter chaos.

I’m old enough to remember when the German SPD literally fought an election campaign on opposition to a potential US war with Iran. That was 2005. The Western centre-left has sunk so far since then.

I don't think a neat regime change into a friendlier face that remains a major Shiite Muslim military and economic power is actually what Israel or the Saudi-aligned states want? Chaos and collapse along the lines of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq would suit them just fine yeah?

Ordinary people will once again become fodder in an imperial war. It’s disgraceful that PM Albanese was among the first to back this aggression from Israel and the US rather than condemn it. Will they ever learn from history?

We should all remember this war is being fought because Israel doesn’t want to negotiate peace, but rather wants to remove any regime getting in the way of their expansionism.
