The Hudson Institute Is A Menace

Leave a comment

I do a lot of vague complaining about the military industrial complex. Sometimes it’s nice to dive in on some specifics. The Hudson Institute is one of the dumbest organizations out there, all 67 million dollars of annual revenue’s worth of it. In today’s episode, Ruairi and I look into the organization that keeps Mike Pompeo and Nikki Haley fed.

In today’s Substack I zoom out a bit and describe some of the basics of the US think tank fantasy world.

Saudi Arabia Restarts Its Yemen Catastrophe

In July Saudi Arabia decided to restart its war with Yemen after four years. By early September it led to disaster. Now that the dust has settled a little, we cover the renewed war in detail in this week’s podcast.

I also put together a quick little rant on the the absurdity of Saudi Arabia and absolute monarchy on Substack…

Iran Isn’t Winning Either | 6 Months of Stupid

I can’t say it’s surprising, but it needs to be said: Iran is now a forever war. Six months in we cover recent developments, and the sad, under acknowledged fact that there is no solution on the horizon.

Japan is The US’s Most Important Ally

The Japan-US relationship is tremendously undervalued. The recent Yen bailout inspired Ruairi and I to attempt to give Japan it’s due.

I also published a substack making the case for Japan being the US’s greatest ally.

Nobody’s Winning In Ukraine

Ukraine might be doing better than it was last year. But last year was pretty catastrophic. It’s time to push peace, not more war. Today’s conversation with Ruairi also inspired a substack post on the Chechen wars of the 1990s, which you can find here…

Zohran Mamdani Doesn’t Impress J.J. McCullough

I really enjoyed this conversation with J.J. I think we transition quite naturally from New York City politics, to national politics to international politics, and draw some useful connections along the way. I hope you enjoy it!

UAE & Mali Militarism is Failing

1 Comment

They learned it from watching us! Mali and the UAE, in very different ways, have committed heavily to US-style militarism over the past decade or so. It hasn’t worked out any better for them than it has for us. In fact, it’s kind of catastrophic.

Is Saudi Arabia Or The UAE More Doomed?

You’d think that war against a common enemy would bring Saudi Arabia and the UAE closer together, but in fact it’s the opposite. They are having a falling out that’s putting them both in danger. Today’s video asks, who’s more doomed?

US Oligarchy’s Iran War Victory

China is the biggest winner from the Iran war. But the US Deep State is a close second. You didn’t think I’d make it through a whole Iran war without making an MIC video did you?
