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 […]

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.

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 […]
By Theodore Shoebat As hundreds of people have been slaughtered by shelling, as homes are shattered, the empires of old rise, and the world we have become so accustomed to is deteriorating before our eyes. Turkey, Russia and France are getting involved in the conflict within Nagorno-Karabakh, but the United States has been greatly silent, […]
While a lot of people view the Catholic Church as a ‘stable’ entity in terms of political leadership, the historical reality for most of Church history is the opposite. From approximately the middle of the fourth century until about 1450, the Church’s leadership was characterized by complete instability, and sometimes chaos unlike anything ever seen […]
There has been a lot of talk about COVID-19, and what one can pull from it is that the effects of the disease have had arguably more impacts than the disease itself, since the ensuing shutdowns to economies around the world have forced debts to come due and exposed long-standing weaknesses in the global economic […]
With so much focus on Trump and COVID-19, some have been asking, is it possible that he may have infected Democrat contender Biden? The potential outcomes for this could be either politically helpful or damaging, and what effect they would have on the already present trends is questionable. Nevertheless, given Trumps’s attitude and his need […]

In light of the current fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the […]
By Theodore Shoebat In this video I show how, through the common trends of the American political experience, Trump using his covid condition to help him win the election:
Shoebat.com has been known since her inception as opposing the evils of Islam, but not to the support of persons or ideas that promote other major evils such as racialism and eugenics. This has been our main criticism of the counter-jihad movement, as in the name of ‘fighting Islam’ she has alled with people promoting […]
In many parts of the world, the use of language is intimately tied to political ambitions. It is why in Russia, there is such an emphasis on the Russian language and a very carefully balanced position on regional cultures, especially in the Far East. The same is also for China, and is the reason why […]
Shoebat.com noted for years that nationalism was going to be a major trend to watch, especially in Germany, since the growth of Germanic nationalism directly corresponds with increased prospects for war and violence against her neighbors. It is so common that one might call it cyclical. As such, it is going to continue to be […]
One of the statemetns I have made consistently is that Trump does not really have to win most people. In fact, there is a very strong chance that Trump will lose by potentialy double the popular vote from last time. However, this does not matter to the Electoral College. All Trump needs is the College, […]
