Did you know that the spinning top is one of the most common forms of traditional play worldwide? Our research found tops to be nearly universal across human cultures. Wherever you come from, your ancestors probably spun tops. New preprint: Top of the World

Iran closing off the Strait of Hormuz is such a likely outcome that it must have been wargamed dozens of times, with probably always the same result: this is a bad idea. There was a reason no other administration attacked Iran in this fashion and this was a big part of it.

Norway is at ~100% EVs for new sales, but 7 out of every 10km driven in 2024 was reliant on fossil fuels. Cars stick around for decades - so change is slow. Protecting ppl from fossil fuel crises means EVs, yes, but *fast deep cuts* means huge $$ in public and active transport. Speed matters!

So Trump rolls out the red carpet for Putin, protects Putin, bullies the Ukrainians for Putin, and in return Putin helps Iranians kill Americans. Trump must act now or the case for him being a Russian asset of some type will be undeniable.

Today in Trump foreign policy: Fox: Can you comment on Russians helping Iran target our troops? Trump: That’s a stupid question. I’m only talking about college football before I fly to Palm Beach for a weekend of golf. Bessent: We are now lifting sanctions on Russian oil.

”The consequence of a newly unreliable and even hostile United States, therefore, will likely be significant military buildups by former allies. This will not mean sharing the burden of collective security, because these rearmed nations will no longer be American allies.”

America vs. the World
President Trump wants to return to the 19th century’s international order. He will leave America less prosperous—and the whole world less secure.

This “it’s not a war but a special military operation” is very Kremlin March 2022. As is the propaganda that we are not starting a war but ending one. As is the confusion of oligarch media as it tries to be faithful in the confusion…

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Best (only?) example of regime change by air strike: Libya 2011. Here's why it's more of a cautionary tale: ♦️It was such a personalized regime that succession proved impossible. That's not
#Iran
