EDITOR—Meanwhile, the US, even after engineering its own entry into the war on the side of Great Britain (to protect its investment and because it intended to steal the empire from them), essentially dragged its feet. Eighty-four percent of the war in Europe was fought before D-Day, only sixteen percent after. This allowed Hitler to keep his best forces on the Eastern Front fighting the Soviets. Over EIGHTY percent of the fighting took place in the East!

LARRY JOHNSON— I think Ukraine launched the drone attack, in conjunction with the terrorist bombing of the bridge in Kursk and the bridge in Bryansk, which fell on a passenger train, in hopes that Russia would refuse to proceed with the scheduled meeting in Istanbul. If that was their goal, it failed. Russia will continue to meet with Ukraine, but will not slacken its military campaign on the ground.

D. JOHNSTONE—Western media put all the blame for everything on the Serbs, evoking the inevitable Hitler analogy to describe Serbia’s besieged leader, Slobodan Milosevic, as a “dictator” and to liken his failing efforts to keep Yugoslavia together with the Third Reich’s massive invasion of the rest of Europe. 

“Heroic little Serbia” was transformed into the Pariah of the Western World.

ROGER BOYD—n the run up to the early 2000s stock market crash which saw the Nasdaq go from 5,000 to below 1,000, there was a massive over-construction of optical fibre linkages. This led to a colossal level of over-capacity and reams of unused “dark” fibre. Are we seeing the same mass corporate groupthink again with the colossal investments by the likes of OpenAI, Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft and xAI? Will Nvidia become the new Cisco as an incredible growth in sales disappears into thin air as the buyers realize that there is simply not enough profitable demand to utilize anywhere near the compute power installed?

INDRAJIT—Tom Cruise really had an impossible mission in MI:8. He had to rescue America’s reputation, but the actual heroes of Hamas blew that up before Cruise could get the film out. Now the film is out of place and out of time, like Cruise himself. A fading star for a fading empire.
