With the cracks showing forth in the US economy, largely exposed by the effects of COVID but not the virus itself (for the problems were already long existing in the system), the Wall Street Journal has reported that with much to the dismay of investors, businesses, and even the common man, he is refusing to […]
One of the trends I warned would happen is that, assuming that Biden becomes president come January 2020 (because in fairness to the situation, a lot of things could change in a month), he will be like another George W. Bush with gaffes and strange things he will say. Apparently, Biden just committed another gaffe […]
One of the trends that Shoebat.com has noted over the years is the incredible amount of indecent assault and abuse that takes place in the military. While we have tended to focus on the most unspoken aspect of this, which is the enormous amount of male-on-male violence, it is a problem for men and women […]
While the UK was a part of the EU, it provided a ‘stabilizing element’ to the balance, particularly on the unchecked and unrestrained rise of German power as has been a consistent trend throughout history. With the UK gone, we have witnessed continual waves of popular nationalism as well as calls from the German government […]
It is true that things can be manipulated extensively. However, there also can be times when one manipulates too much and loses control over what he was trying to control. Some call it ‘losing control of the narrative’, others have different terms, but no matter what the term is, one cannot always control everything, and […]
With COVID still spreading around the world and talk of another wave incoming, it is going to be an important trend to watch and see if there will be more strains of this disease that emerge and if so, how deadly they are. According to the New Zealand Herald, a new change may be in […]
Most do not think of the largely rocky and deserted lands of the Sudan as being a place for a naval base. However, a small strip of that nation borders with the Red Sea, across from which is the nation of Saudi Arabia. It is in the port city of Port Sudan that the Russians, […]
Russia recently took the bold step of sending in her own ‘peacekeepers’ to both Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, in what is overall two major moves. Now in response to this, Turkey has now moved to deploy her own ‘peacekeeping force’ to Azerbaijan and the newly acquired Azeri territories in Nagorno-Karabakh. Turkey’s government has submitted a motion […]
By Theodore Shoebat The war between Armenian and Azerbaijani has been stopped, not with peace but through a ceasefire brokered by Russia. Armenians have been being forced to leave their homes in the much fought over territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. In the 1990s, when the Azerbaijanis were defeated by the Armenians in the first conflict over […]
By Theodore Shoebat Over the years I have noticed that the subject of geopolitics has been overly complicated, so I decided to do a video on the subject:
When the word “soy” is used today, it often indicates a negative connotation. For example, “soy boy” means a weak or effeminate male. “Soy face” describes a man who makes facial expressions of an effeminate nature. “Drinking soy” can mean a modern variation of “drinking the Kool-Aid”. However, there is a certain “power” that soy […]
When the COVID crisis began in early 2020, people immediately created, fueled by a ‘rush’ from the media and general frenzy induced by the ever so well-known ‘madness of crowds’, a rush for toilet paper and bleach. Out of not reason but panic, people began stripping the shelves of the cleaning isles, and in the […]
Saudi Arabia and Iran have been rivals going back to the days before Islam, so their mutual dislike of each other is not something new. What has changed are the weapons available to inflict more damage to a fuller capacity. With the advent of the nuclear age after World War II, there has been a […]
Like Trump, Obama is no stranger to controversy. During his famous rise to power in 2008, he was arguably the first President who made mass use of social media to propel his campaign. Now twelve years later, VOX reports that Obama has now changed his position, noting from the that the Internet has created a […]
So far, things are not looking good for President Trump. He has not conceded the election (and it is likely he never will), but according to Trump’s tweets, the attitudes of fellow Republicans, and the words of many world leaders, it looks like Biden is going to be President. However, as the saying goes, “it […]
The famed US diplomat and geopolitical strategist Henry Kissinger, love him or hate him, is a man who throughout his career has had a very good ‘feel’ for American politics and the state of global affairs. He understands conflict, the nature of countries, and while no man is absolutely perfect, is a respected voice that […]
