One Economist's Perspective

"Washington, in an act of incredible stupidity, has driven a dagger through the heart of the US dollar as world reserve currency, thus ending Washington’s ability to pay its bills by printing money. The dagger was the Biden regime’s Russian and other sanctions and the seizure of Russia’s central bank deposits. This finally convinced the rest of the world that holding dollar balances exposed a country to the risk of expropriation or control by Washington.

"Sooner or later the US dollar’s exchange value will fall, setting off high inflation in the US that is outside the control of the central bank. American living standards will fall, and the US will begin to look like India in 1900. The hatred...that Democrats have taught to [minorities] will result in internal war. The only question is whether...Americans will have been so indoctrinated with their guilt that they are unable to defend themselves."

-- Dr. Paul Craig Roberts – Chairman of the Institute for Political Economy, US economist and ex-Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration, a member of the Cold War Committee on the Present Danger.

Mr. Trump's Illusional Bubble, April 1 and 2, 2026

This week, the US President gave an apparently delusional update of the Iran conflict. Iran's military is decimated, and it's President is asking for a cease fire, he reported.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman immediately rejected that. State broadcaster IRIB quoted Esmail Baghaei as saying Trump's statements were false and unfounded.

Trump attributed the request for a ceasefire to Iran's "New Regime President."

On the same day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized the US war against his country in an open letter to the people of the United States on Wednesday, calling it an absurd operation that is costly for their nation.

Within hours of Mr. Trump's analysis of a destroyed Iranian military, Iran fired more missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states, demonstrating Tehran’s continued ability to attack even as US President Donald Trump claimed the threat from the country was nearly eliminated and predicted the war would end soon.

In Mr. Trump's speech to the nation, Paul...

Failed Strategy in Real Time

Today's assymetrical warfare: Iran's cheap munitions are taking out American's most expensive aircraft.

One internet observer:

"Iran, still using their pawns, while Israel and the US out there, with only their King n Queen left. Who will fall first?

"5 pawns and a king versus a king and queen in a chess end game, the side with the 8 pawns always wins. 5 pawns is enough. That’s standard.

"In a way, you could call it asymmetrical warfare."

Guess What People Are Lining Up to Buy in War-Torn Ukraine?

Well, it's not "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius."

It's $400,000 Bentley automobiles. A lot of them. Of all the dealerships in Europe, the one in Kiev is in third place for sheer volume.

Take note of this tragic truth:

"Foreign aid is a mechanism by which poor people in rich countries are taxed to support the lifestyles of rich people in poor countries. The aid primarily serves three Ms—: munitions, monuments, and Mercedes for leaders and cronies."

--- Peter Thomas Bauer, a Hungarian-born British development economist:
