A FOLLOWUP ON FERTILIZER

  IMPORTANT NOTE: This essay IS NOT about supporting Iran.  My analysis of the results of the conflict is totally independent of any consideration of the validity of the military action.  The costs of the conflict to the U.S. are important to understand.  Those...

I wrote an essay called “Pieces of the Puzzle” on November 2, 2025, in which I laid out what I believed were the signs of an oncoming takeover of Venezuela.  Many people, particularly Trump supporters, told me at the time that I was crazy, that we would never take...

As we all get out the bowls of snacks at 8 pm tonight to settle down and watch a civilization get obliterated on live TV, we might want to consider what a “deal” to avoid it would have looked like.  More importantly, we should ask the question, “Would you make a deal...
