No Exit
Jean-Paul Sartre wrote a play about three people locked in a room with an unlocked door nobody would walk through. He called it No Exit. He was writing about Operation Epic Fury seventy years before it happened. A forensic anatomy of a war built from mutual imprisonment, strategic miscalculation, and the fatal habit of assuming the other side thinks like us.
Netanyahu, MBS, Putin and the Useful Idiot
Russia feeds Tehran American targeting intelligence. Netanyahu needs the war to continue. MBS counts his oil revenues. One hundred and seventy-five children were at school in Minab when the missile struck. The mathematics of this catastrophe have been visible from the start.

Trump, The Dealmaker’s Fatal Error
Trump demands unconditional surrender from a nation of 90 million. Iran elects a hardline new Supreme Leader and rules out any ceasefire. The MAGA

driving the pause.
As Trump Threatens Weekend Strike on Iran, Albanese Pretends Pine Gap Isn’t Complicit

Trump is threatening regime-change. The Strait of Hormuz has become a kill box where $13 billion aircraft … Continue reading As Trump Threatens Weekend Strike on Iran, Albanese Pretends Pine Gap Isn’t Complicit
Trump Bombs Venezuela: How a Neoliberal Resource War Became America’s New Frontier
In the early hours of January 3, 2026, the United States bombed Venezuela. Seven explosions tore through Caracas as American aircraft targeted military installations, a suspected cocaine refinery, and reportedly captured Nicolás Maduro himself. This report sketches the attack’s anatomy: the midnight chaos, the neoliberal machinery driving it, and the human fallout from what looks disturbingly like the Iraq template transplanted to South America.
