"Asking our foreign policy elite to notice things like steel production is, of course, futile. These are yalevard edumucated ninnyhammers who have more exotic spreadsheets which are capable of giving any answer their bosses require. The same educational colossus that netted us a fine arts major who never read Homer. We’re not dealing with the best and brightest any more. None the less, these halfwits should overcome their hubris to avoid nemesis. All you need to do is look at the wikipedia page and avoid engaging in combats with countries in the “makes about half the steel that you’re capable of” column." https://scottlocklin.substack.com/p/warfighting-ability?r=lp6h7&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 Benjamin Netanyahu says it took him long time to bring the United States in to war with Iran He says he was able to do that because he had close to a 1,000 hours on American television. @Megatron_ron

Playing the War Card Hal Turner does tend to be more than a bit of a catastrophist, but it goes without saying that there is a lot of troublesome activity going on around the world that bears paying attention. Here is his read on the current situation; to it I would add that the financial markets are looking like […] https://voxday.net/2026/08/30/playing-the-war-card/

Do or Don’t Do But never, ever, talk about it. Thomas Massie says he will publicly reveal Epstein’s client list if the Trump administration refuses to do so in two weeks. Two weeks. Is that an actual joke? Threats are for weak people who aren’t willing to do what they are saying they are going to do. If there […] https://voxday.net/2026/08/30/do-or-dont-do/

🛢️ A very useful infographic for our times, illustrating the process of fractional distillation of crude oil in a refinery column heated from below. Crude oil is separated into fractions according to their boiling points: liquefied petroleum gas, or a mixture of propane and butane (below 40°C), naphtha (70–100°C), petrol (40–150°C), kerosene (150–250°C), diesel (250–350°C) and the heavy residue, including bitumen (above 450°C). 🏭 Each level of the column corresponds to specific products — from household gas and petrochemical feedstocks to fuel for cars, aircraft and ships, as well as road asphalt. The broader point is that “we’ll just buy fuel abroad” is not a real solution — only a temporary stopgap. The priority is to think about how to protect domestic refineries and restore damaged capacity as quickly as possible. Today, that is hardly less important than the creation of the Soviet atomic bomb once was. Original Post Follow TRN 👈
