1/ U.S. Global Policies and the Theories of Heartland and Rimland For the past century, U.S. global policies have revolved around Halford Mackinder’s Heartland Theory and its opposing theory, Rimland, introduced by Nicholas Spykman. Russia, in the Saudi negotiations, has demanded the annexation of all Ukrainian territories captured by Russia into the Russian Federation, even if it does not directly govern them. However, these territories must be officially recognized as part of Russia. Trump should not grant this concession to Russia so easily and should reduce Russia's dominance in the Heartland as much as possible. Let me explain further. 👇

1/ 🔻 New data shows that American households’ investments in the stock market have hit one of the highest levels in history. So, where’s the catch?! According to analysis by the 3Fourteen Research team, if the S&P 500 drops just 10%, about 12% of the entire U.S. GDP could vanish from household wealth—just like that! This level of loss has historically gone hand-in-hand with recessions—think the 2008 financial crisis, the dot-com bubble burst, or the economic chaos of the 70s. 📌 Every time this 12% shock to GDP has hit while the Fed was tightening (hiking rates and shrinking its balance sheet), a recession followed 80% of the time. If the Fed doesn’t act soon—or if the government doesn’t roll out tax cuts—we might be heading right back into the same mess...

With the new Trump tariffs on the European Union and pressure from the Social Democratic Party, Germany will have no choice but to find new trade partners.

I’m surprised when some people say, "There’s a high chance the U.S. might attack Iran, and it could actually happen." The truth is, even the slightest conflict of interest between the U.S. and Iran doesn’t automatically mean war. The U.S. actually needs Iran as an active player to maintain balance in the Middle East. At the very least, Iran helps counter Turkish ideological influence. And without a strong and stable government in Tehran, the Caucasus region would almost certainly fall into chaos and war. Let me leave you with this quote from Obama’s book: "Iran was a constant adversary, but one whose interests occasionally aligned with ours more than we liked to admit."

⭕️ The tariffs known as the Smoot-Hawley Tariffs, extensive duties signed into law by Herbert Hoover in 1930 on over twenty thousand imported products to the U.S., are considered one of the main causes of the Great Depression of the 1930s, the largest economic crisis in U.S. history.

Among all the scenarios I expected where Donald Trump would impose tariffs on other countries, this was the worst one…

The tariffs that Trump is set to impose today are expected by Goldman Sachs to reduce economic growth by 0.5% and increase household costs by 3%. Additionally, despite the worsening trade deficit, retaliatory actions by other countries could significantly deepen the trade balance deficit. https://us.cnn.com/2025/04/02/business/liberation-day-trump-tariffs/index.html

Only one-third of the expected documents on JFK's assassination have been released—out of 3,000 documents, only 1,124 have been published, with many FBI records still undisclosed. Which of Trump's promises has actually been properly fulfilled and upheld?

During his election campaign, Trump claimed to be anti-war and promised to prevent wars, unlike Biden and Kamala Harris. Three months into his presidency, the Gaza war has restarted, the U.S. military is engaged in conflict with Yemen, he's threatening Iran with direct war, and there's still no sign of peace in Ukraine.

"You see the body of an enemy soldier (a German) and think to yourself, 'At least it's not one of ours.' Then you see the body of one of our own (an American) and think, 'At least it's not me.' But then the time comes when you lose one of your friends, and that's when you say, 'To hell with this. Just get me out of this damn nightmare.'" — Sergeant Donald Malarkey, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army, during the Normandy invasion, World War II.
