With the spread of COVID-19 and the push for masks, regardless of what one thinks, the concept of ‘masking’ is a global and long-term trend that is not going away. According to one representative from the Spanish National Research Council, as far as Europe and Spain are concerned, it may be for years that people […]
Every ten years, since 1790, the US government takes what is called the Census. The length and extent of the questions have changed repeatedly over the years, but the principle is all the same throughout, which is to try and get an estimate of how many people live in the country, who they are, and […]
By Theodore Shoebat In this video I talk about the horrors of the battle over Hama in Syria which took place in the 1980s, an how it reflects the turbulence and chaos taking place in the Near East and Caucasus today:
As tensions mounted between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev responded to Armenian threats of bombing oil pipelines by saying that she would attack the Matsamor nuclear plant in Armenia in retaliation if that happened. Armenia has denied attacking any oil pipelines, but recent news from the Caucasian Knot reports that Armenian troops have […]
There has been talk that Azerbaijan, given her strategic importance for oil, tight military alliance with Turkey, past history as a former Soviet occupied nation, and her location as a bridge between Russia, Turkey, the Middle East, and Central Asia, could see a major rise in terrorism as the Turkish-allied country might become a “stepping […]
Unemployment is a terrible thing in the US, since due to the nature of the society, if one does not have money, one cannot participate in social life, and the ability to earn money is tied often to employment. As such, when unemployment rises, it causes social and economic problems, and if it is bad […]
By Theodore Shoebat Turkey is in Libya, in Syria; Turkey is expanding itself in the Eastern Mediterranean, and now Turkey has imposed itself in the Caucasus. What is one of the main objectives of Turkey in doing all this? It is to guarantee that Turkey will always have a say in peace negotiations, and thus […]
There are some things in life that one does and one does not do. One of the things that one does not do is to promise a monetary handout to the public and then postpone the offer until after Election Day, because it looks a lot like one is trying to use a “carrot and […]
By Theodore Shoebat As the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan continues, Russia just put out a warning that Azerbaijan (specifically Nagorno-Karabakh) could become the next center for Islamic terrorists to travel. If this happens, the Islamists will be partaking in the grand jihad to fight and kill the Christian Armenians. As we read in a […]
With the rising trend of national violence coming at the same time of calls for “defunding” the police, not all people agree, because while police abuse is real, fallen human nature is also real and is a reason why the need for police exists. A group representing “bodega” (a term used for “corner stores” commonly […]
With the US absent amid her own election and Russia curiously silent but certainly watching the situation, Armenia and Azerbaijan continue to tear into each other, and amid all of this, France has thrown herself into the mix as the nominal Turkish ally has ripped into Turkey over her support of Azerbaijan and publicly given […]
Amid the horrible California wildfires, one of the trends that I warned about that needs to be watched is the prices of alcohol, especially wine and some brandies, since the fires are destroying the vineyards used by many American wineries. This will likely cause a spike in wine prices, and depending on the scope of […]
In Japan, a “hikikomori” defines a person who usually has no job, no wife, plays games all day, and has no future. Unfortunately, this is the case for millions of young men who have shied away from work, family, and life in general, and instead pass their day and eventually, away into silence and oblivion […]
By Theodore Shoebat Bashar al-Assad declared that Turkey is the main instigator behind the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. According to Reuters: Syrian President Bashar al-Assad accused Turkish counterpart Tayyip Erdogan of being the main instigator in the deadliest fighting between Armenian and Azeri forces for more than 25 years. In an interview published on […]
By Theodore Shoebat In a recent interview with TIME Magazine, the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, warned that what Turkey is doing is working to reestablish the Ottoman Empire in the Caucasus. He said: “Turkey’s action is nothing short of action aimed at reinstating the Ottoman empire.” He also claimed that the Syrian mercenaries […]
There are certain things that one does not do, such as to wish death on somebody who is sick. However, as many news reports are communicating, including Townhall.com, a recent statement from Biden about a “death blow” has some talking if he meant this as a misspeak about something else, or an intentional wish on […]
