The end of Globalism
Globalism was a liberal dream that made everybody richer. Nationalism replaced it. Trump today has semi-closed America to rebuild its industry because it cannot compete against China and Germany. It may be necessary, but NASDAQ will be hurt.

China imports 150 million tons of grains per year. It consumes some 700 million tons. Chinese agriculture's problems are profound, but they are progressing.

The Yemenites On Us
 An hour ago, the Houti (a Shia Sect) shot a ballistic missile on Central Tel Aviv. This piece fell on a School near Jerusalem. It looks clean inox steel, not like a filthy Yemenite ballistic missile. I think it is from our interceptor. We did nothing to those Arab fanatics, and try to ignore them.

Oriental Phantasies
"A View for the future" is a cold, reasoned study of Israel's situation in 2030 (five years from now). Basically, the Palestinian author errs in extrapolating the trends of this time and does not take into account that everything is changing and that we, Israeli Jews, are the most dynamic force in the world and most certainly will not watch passively and dissolve like other "colonial" projects.
A Sioux in 1810 could have written a similar scenario of the natives overwhelming the small American settlements on the sea board, but he too would have been wrong. The settlers did not sit quietly in Boston and Manhattan; they expanded inexorably till they conquered the Far West and then annexed half of Spanish Mexico and bought Alaska. Their momentum took them to the Caribbean islands and to occupy the Spanish Philippines. Fifty years later, they occupied Japan and South Korea. Then, the Yanquis took a rest, and the future is unknowable. In the same way, we cannot imagine the fate of this small but dynamic Jewish nucleus in the Middle East.

US Defense Secretary Hegseth
Commonplace among GWOT veterans that fought against jihadists abroad. It’s a symbol of defiance against the bad guys.
See also his Hebrew tattoo: ישוע = JESUS.
Hegseth is a surname of Norwegian origin. The suffix "-seth" or "-set" in Norwegian refers to a settlement or farm, and "Heg-" could be related to a specific geographical feature of that location.
