11greatest problem has been the NEOCONS who usurp American foreign policy to wage their quest to rule the world, spreading the fake democracy that they originally claimed when the multipolar world was capitalism vs communism. Communism collapsed all by itself BECAUSE of pure economic inefficiencies, which the Neocons are carrying out in the West.

Some did not  our forecast that China will surpass USA post-2032 as te financial capital of the world. This not my opinion nor my desire. I am not here to sell my ideas over anyone else. The computer correlated the world and concludes the trend. In recent times since 1989, China has avoided getting dragged into wars because they know that undermines the economy.

That is precisely opposite of the the United States and to a lessor degree, Russia. Post-Cold War hubris led U.S. Neocons to manipulate political leaders to take on a vast array of global responsibilities. That is illustrated by the Wolfowitz Doctrine of world superiority. The Neocons have squandered American wealth on their endless or forever wars in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan not to forget Libya, Yemen, Syria, and various parts of Africa, all part of their global war on terror as well as their proxy war using Ukraine to conquer Russia.

They do not care about te country, the people, the budget – nothing, except their quest to rule the world. They move from one administration to the next with no regard to domestic policies LEFT or RIGHT. All they care about is their geopolitical aspirations. Nothing else! Your children will NEVER be safe as long as these people usurp power.

Russia vs Ira trade up is up 40%. The Russia & Iran banking systems are now linking. Iran joined BRICS completing the division of the world economy and nobody is talking about it.

I have been warning for decades that the world is not run by rational forethought but by vindictive actors seizing foreign policy all for their geopolitical objectives that are counter-to economics. If you look at the data, you will see that the Neocons have become the cancer that is crashing the system. They do not understand how the world actually works. They think they can redraw borders and install governments by force, but they are playing checkers while the rest of the world is playing 3D chess.

They create class warfare and blame the rich claiming they do NOT pay their fair share and this is a DISTRACTION so nobody pays attention to the spending on endless wars that (1) raise the national debt, (2) interest expenditures grow crowding out social spending like Medicare, (3) the Democrats demand the rich pay more, while all of this never addresses the problem. They are strip-mining our economy all for the cost of these endless wars as the Neocons washing their hand the blood of others.

The Great Dividing of the World
The neocons have created a world divided NOT by ideology anymore, but by survival and dominance. Their endless wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Ukraine have forced nations to take sides not out of choice, but out of necessity. The sanctions imposed on Russia after their provocations have backfired spectacularly. Instead of isolating Moscow, the Neocons have accelerated the formation of BRICS. They have driven countries to seek alternative economic arrangements, moving gold and capital away from the traditional Western financial centers. By Bessent now threatening sanctions against any country that deals with Iran, he has proven his ignorance of this trend as well. The Dutch central bank is joining the rest of Europe shifting the location of 78 metric tons of gold, worth $11 billion at today’s prices, leaving the United States. This is nothing about the dollar, but geopolitical and Trump’s Tariff wars.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has bluntly taken the Neocon approach advocating the US’s use of financial power as a foreign policy tool. Blinken did that removing Russia from SWIFT and destroyed the world economy giving rise to BRICS. By Bessent advocating using the federal balance sheet to advance he claims is the interests of American allies, using financial and political situations abroad, will increase the deficit and maintains this idea that America is the superpower to dictate to the world. He said:

“I believe that I can use the balance sheet of the U.S. for foreign policy. So, we have a foreign policy goal and that is to create allies in the Western hemisphere.”

The Neocons have pushed Russia, China, and the Global South into an alliance that President Nixon sought to divide and this is now in a position that cannot be repaired which will ultimately challenge the West’s dominance. Because these Neocons NEVER consider economics, they are destroying the world economy and are TOO IGNORANT to understand the consequences of their own actions. They have divided the world into those who still blindly follow the United States and those who are creating a new system to escape its demands and geopolitical reach.

Even a report from the Council on Foreign Relations, has noticed this trend and have described as a “geoeconomic fragmentation” where countries are retrofitting the global economy to suit geopolitical realities, moving away from the “just-in-time” global supply chains that were built for a more cooperative era. I have said main times that the model for World Peace is the Roman Empire. When there is free trade and everyone benefits from being inside the global economy, you DO NOT have war. This stupid Neocon agenda of imposing sanctions and using the dollar as a weapon is destroying the very thing they think they are expanding.

Iran is rushing ASAP to create a nuclear bomb now for self defense. The prevailing interpretation has been that if Saddam and Afghanistan had nukes, they would never have been invaded. That is the old Nuclear Deterrence Theory. The Pickaxe Mountain site, located near the Natanz nuclear complex roughly 140 miles south of Tehran, has been the subject of steady discussion by intelligence agencies, which view it as a likely location for Iran to protect future nuclear program efforts. According to a new satellite imagery, there has been a clear surge in construction activity this year.

Based on the available information, there is no direct evidence that the U.S. is currently testing a “bunker-busting” bomb with a low-grade nuclear warhead. However, the US is actively pursuing two separate but related efforts: developing a new conventional bunker-buster and considering the resumption of low-yield nuclear tests.

The Conventional Bunker-Buster bomb is developing with a new conventional “next-generation” technology. This program is focused on creating a more powerful non-nuclear weapon capable of destroying deeply buried targets, such as Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow and Isfahan, which are considered too difficult to destroy with existing bombs like the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP).

The development involves testing at a unique underground facility at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Satellite imagery and contract records indicate that a project manager signed an emergency contract to repair this facility for “live-fire testing” related to a “time-sensitive national security directive.” This work is explicitly for a new conventional weapon, not a nuclear one.

Consideration of Low-Yield Nuclear Tests
Separately, senior U.S. officials have stated that the country is prepared to conduct low-yield nuclear tests to maintain “an equal basis” with alleged activities by Russia and China. This would end a moratorium on nuclear testing that has been in place since 1992. The American Neocons can be using Iran as the excuse to resume Low-Yield nuke development. The rationale is also to respond to what the U.S. claims are secret, low-yield nuclear tests conducted by China and Russia. Both countries have denied these allegations. It has been justified by claims that this would not involve massive, multi-megaton atmospheric explosions, but rather low-yield underground tests.

As of March 2026, a senior State Department official testified that the U.S. is still evaluating how to implement the presidential directive to resume testing and has not made a final decision on the specifics. Throw in Iran, and that becomes the imminent threat to justify resumption. The developments are occurring using Iran as the excuse amidst heightened tensions with the expiration of the New START treaty with Russia, which was ultimately signed by President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on April 8th, 2010, in Prague.

Neocons such as John Bolton has been one of the most vocal advocates for aggressive action against Iran. Bolton has repeatedly stated that eliminating the Iranian regime is the only way to end the nuclear threat. In a March 2026 PBS interview, he said, “If anybody wants peace and stability in the Middle East, this regime has to go.”

Just for the record, the Neocon John Bolton graduated from Yale University in 1970. In his 25th reunion class book, he wrote: “I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy” and “I considered the war in Vietnam already lost.”

At the time, he had a student deferment at Yale. But the 1969 draft lottery, where his birthday, Nov. 20, was number 185, ended student deferments, and he faced the possibility of being called up. He then enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard, which had long waiting lists because it offered a way to avoid being sent to Vietnam.

The upgrades to the Nevada White Sands test site, combined with the stated intent to resume low-yield testing, could be a precursor to a full resumption of nuclear testing, which would undermine global non-proliferation efforts. The Neocons are pushing this with President Trump and do not care about the Trump’s legacy, the nation, or the people. This is all about them dominating the world. These Neocons always present themselves a a Blessing in Disguise.

Without question, the US is developing a new conventional bunker-buster bomb and is separately considering low-yield nuclear tests, which are two distinct tracks rather than a single program to test a nuclear-armed bunker-buster.

Israel cannot stop Iran’s nuclear program through conventional means. This has raised concerns that Netanyahu has made it his lifelong quest to destroy Iran. He has called them savages and refused to negotiate. In 2024, in his Knesset speech, Netanyahu said: “I’ve been warning about Iran for 30 years.”  It was reported on March 3rd, during a visit to a site struck by an Iranian missile, Netanyahu stated: 

“We read in this week’s Torah portion, ‘Remember what Amalek did to you.’ We remember—and we act.”

This is the problem. Netanyahu appears to view that the Bible justifies geocide. In 1 Samuel 15:2-3, God gives King Saul a specific, direct order to carry out this command. The prophet Samuel relays the message:

“This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys. ‘”

There are concerns that if Trump does not listen to the Neocons and refuses to attack Pickaxe Mountain with a low-yield nuke, Netanyahu might consider using nuclear weapons due to Netanyahu’s perception of Iran posing an existential threat. Some fear that if Netanyahu thinks he may lose the election, this would be his last chance to nuke Iran.

The dollar bottomed in May and has been rising because of the Iran War implying concern for this erupting into a Middle East War. Israel’s next parliamentary election is scheduled for October 27, 2026. They have 28 days to form a new government. In most polls, former military chief Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party is either the largest or second-largest party, with 22-25 seats. He also consistently leads Netanyahu in head-to-head polls on suitability for prime minister.

While we see the October 5th target in Israel is a Directional Change. If Netanyahu fears a loss, he may take action as soon as that week. However, the stronger target would bee the week of October 19th, 8 days before the election. The October 5th target may be more concentrated in Ukraine vs Russia.

There is also a significant political dimension. US lawmakers have recently demanded transparency from the administration regarding Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal, arguing that official ambiguity makes non-proliferation policy in the Middle East impossible. The Nuclear Threat Initiative estimates that Israel possesses around 90 nuclear warheads.

Netanyahu has been trying to get Trump to push the button and use a nuke. If Trump listened to Netanyahu and the Neocons, this would put nukes on the table globally. Moscow could nuke Kiev without a second thought. Yet the pressure in Russia is building intensely thank to Zelensky deliberately trying to get Putin to attack anything in NATO to drag them in to prevent Ukraine’s inevitable loss.
