No King Rallies in America.
Trump has been compared to the Dictator King of Tudor times, Henry 8th. Henry the 8th's court was full of gossip of who was in and who was out when it came to the king's favour. The king was probably mentally unstable, with fits of anger, and changing his mind or being inconsistent. People remained loyal to him out of fear, a court of yes men and women. People were afraid to tell the king the truth or the error of his ways lest they upset him. The same system seems to operate in the Court of King Donald. Trump is a self-obsessed man who wants all eyes on him, who lashes out when things don't go his way, a little like the Tudor King.

Vlad The Invader's Shadow Fleets.
Starmer has cleared the way for the Royal Navy to board Russian 'shadow fleets'. So what are shadow fleets? Shadow fleets are ships that use deception in various ways to get past ships patrolling that will interdict them, board them, and check that they are not carrying. anything that will help Putin's war with Zelenskyy. Recently, a ship from Venezuela (if I have this correct), before Maduro, was whisked from that country to the US to face trial, and reflagged itself flying the Russian colours. The fugitive ship, which had failed to collect Venezuelan oil from the under-siege Maduro regime, was hoping to race across the Atlantic and outrun its American pursuers. The ship had arranged to meet Russian ships to protect it. But the US ships caught up with it and, together with UK forces, boarded the ship.

THE LONG GAME: Bin Laden's Bullseye
The Long Game: How We Fell for the Ultimate Bear Trap Pull over the car, grab the oxygen mask, and stare directly into the sun—because the "War on Terror" wasn't a war at all. It was a giant, neon-lit invitation to a suicide pact, and we signed it in blood and high-interest credit.

THE GREAT AMERICAN EXORCISM: MASKING DESPOTISM IN THE CHURCH OF CAPITAL
I. The Neon Purgatory of the Now There is a smell in the air these days, and it isn’t just the scent of cheap cologne and burning diesel. It’s the ozone of a dying circuit board. We are living in Mark Fisher’s nightmare, a state of Capitalist Realism enveloped in smoke so thick you can’t even see the exit signs. Fisher famously warned that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism, and we have taken that psychic trap to its ultimate, blood-soaked conclusion. Because we cannot conceive of a world beyond the market, we have decided to monetize the apocalypse itself. This is why you see the "Christian Nationalists" currently screaming for Hell-fire in the Middle East; they aren't seeking salvation, they are cheering for Armageddon in Iran as the ultimate market exit strategy. We’ve turned the end of the world into a subscription service, and the "faithful" are just waiting for the final installment to download... because they are the only ones good enough to be saved from the global fire we just created.

Not like Others!?
Some countries follow global trends, and some adjust under pressure, but there are a few that stand firm and even reshape the pressure itself. Iran is one of those countries. It cannot be understood only through headlines or political speeches. To understand Iran, you have to look at where it sits, what it has gone through, and how it thinks.
