  • Some have said that when this war is over, it will be a different world.
    But that is not the whole truth, because it is already a different world. The image of the invincible US military is in ruins. This war with Iran can turn out to be nearly as disastrous for USA as the Russian war against Ukraine is to Russia.

    Zelenskyy has been on a charm tour to the Arab countries, and offered help to defend against the Iranian attacks, that USA has failed to defend against. And hopefully this will result in significant Arab investments in Ukrainian industries.
    These investments are most likely to be drawn from US investments.
    When the Ukraine war is over, Ukraine will very quickly become member of EU. And Ukraine will prosper fast with strong know how, and a strong will and help to rebuild after the war.
    As a member of EU, the enormous goodwill and prestige Ukraine has earned, will benefit EU too. And EU will be stronger than ever. While USA risk to lose the petro dollar because they fucked up in the middle east.

    USA is not losing the war in Iran, because it’s already lost. Unfortunately for USA, there is no graceful exit, so chances are that USA will escalate instead. But that will only make it worse for USA. With even more losses for USA in lives money and prestige.

    The big immediate winner is of course China, but EU might actually also win from this in the long run. And the sure loser is USA.
    Even Iran will benefit, the oil export sanctions against them have already been lifted, and they will keep control of the Hormuz strait.
    A new deal between USA and Iran will be on Iranian terms not American.

    Funny how this was predicted 2 years ago?

    China’s Nostradamus" Made 3 Trump Predictions In 2024. 2 Already Came True

    https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/who-is-jiang-xueqin-professor-behind-viral-trump-iran-prediction-11170722

    The headline is misleading though, because USA has already lost the war, so all 3 came true.
    I actually went back and watched the original video, and it’s spot on, there can be no doubt about the accuracy of his prediction.


  • Hormuz strait will be controlled by Iran, just like the Suez Canal is controlled by Egypt.
    When things settle down Iran will run the strait like a business in the same way Egypt does with the Suez canal.

    USA and Israel have already lost this war, but they have no way to exit it gracefully, so they will probably escalate it further because it’s the only option, but the result of that will be even worse for USA.

    It’s very similar to what happened to Russia in Ukraine. Russia cannot win, but because Putin doesn’t have an exit, the war continues while Russia is collapsing under the burden of the war and sanctions.

    The biggest loser in the war with Iran will be USA, the American economy will be hit hard by a global recession. And USA has already lost political goodwill around the world. But more than that, the idea of the might of the US military force has collapsed. USA is now shown to be a paper tiger just like Russia.

    It is also remarkable that Ukraine is now doing better against Russia without help from USA, than when they actually were helped by the Biden administration! The political power of USA is probably lower now than should be theoretically possible for a country with the worlds strongest military!

    Instead Ukraine is now winning friends among the Arab countries, with agreements of help from Ukraine to protect against the Iranian attacks, that USA is failing to protect against. This will be an enormous boost to Ukrainian prestige and probably secure significant new investments in Ukrainian industries, investments that will probably mainly be pulled out of USA.

    When the war with Russia is finished, and Ukraine becomes a member of EU, Ukraine stands to become a very prosperous country. And with these latest turns of events, EU will also benefit enormously from the know how and prestige Ukraine has earned.













  • I would really love if China and Taiwan could coexist without hostilities.
    Currently it is one of my main objections to the Chinese regime, that they persist with the 1 China policy as they do.
    It’s one thing for China to welcome Taiwan back as part of mainland China, it’s another to threaten to force it with military force.
    I have the deepest respect for both China and Taiwan for what they have accomplished. Now they need to accomplish mutual respect on both sides.
    Also I don’t think Taiwan can count of USA to help them in case of a major conflict anymore. That ship sailed a decade ago, when Trump was elected the first time.







  • Yes by rejected equally I mean always rejected, exactly because god doesn’t exist.
    Some claim that the reason we can’t see the effect, is because god doesn’t reveal himself.
    Funny thing is though, that a study on how prayer works for sick people showed they actually got worse!
    So there isn’t even a beneficial psychological effect, it’s actually negative.
    If god was working without revealing himself, there is no reason it should be worse.
    So when people claim there is no evidence against the existence of god I disagree.
    There is no evidence that a god exist, but there is actually evidence against the existence of the Judaic god.
    Also the complete lack of evidence for the existence of a god, is evidence that the existence of a god is highly unlikely.
