Winston Churchill once said:
"The longer you can look back, the farther you can look forward."
In today's world, amidst seemingly astonishing events, this statement can be rewritten as:
"If you observe the flow of history within the context of geography, the course of the future becomes clear."
History is the only discipline that grants insight to its reader—a knowledge to comprehend what has transpired, and a vision to understand our present state and what lies ahead.
Thus, the greatest betrayal to a nation, especially one with an ancient and rich heritage, is the distortion of its history and the presentation of an ideological narrative.

🔴 Trump's Limited Constraints Amid Greater Freedom of Action
🔹Political analysts believe that Donald Trump will return to the White House in 2025 with broader powers than during his first term. A strong Republican majority in Congress and the weakening of legal oversight institutions have paved the way for the implementation of his controversial agendas. With Republicans holding 53 seats compared to the Democrats’ 47 in the Senate, they are in a stronger position than in 2017. Additionally, securing 217 seats in the House of Representatives, albeit by a narrow margin, facilitates Trump’s policy advancements.

According to an ICE report, the number of deportations of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. under the Biden administration has been higher than during Trump’s first term!

Some items removed from the new budget bill:
✳️ Funding for research on childhood cancer
✳️ Prohibition of creating deepfake pornography featuring the faces of ordinary citizens
✳️ Prevention of internet companies overcharging in rural areas
✳️ Research on preterm births
✳️ Research on sickle cell anemia
✳️ Research on early detection of breast and cervical cancer
✳️ Research on Down syndrome
✳️ Requiring hotels to be transparent in pricing
These removals can be considered the first "achievement" of President Trump's second term—an "achievement" made possible, inexplicably, by the Democrats.

Trump is all about tariffs as he leads a party that used to be all about free trade

Once upon a time, Republicans spoke of free trade in glowing terms. With his constant threats of tariffs and a history of implementing them, President-elect Donald Trump has flipped that on its head.

CENTCOM announced today that several airstrikes were carried out on December 19 against ISIS camps in Deir ez-Zor province in eastern Syria, in areas previously controlled by pro-Assad and Russian forces. These strikes resulted in the elimination of ISIS leader Abu Yusuf, also known as Mahmoud, along with another militant.
The threat of ISIS resurgence is more tangible than ever. The U.S. must support the Kurds within Syria.

It has been repeatedly proven to us that Western media all have a specific algorithm, and the U.S. system is a liberal democracy. A liberal democracy views centralization as an unhealthy condition, so it sees the existence of competition for Western media as positive! This is because it prevents Western media from being the only ones that can apply algorithms and make people the main subject of their narratives. Now, in order for TikTok to be banned, there needs to be a solid reason, not silly excuses like "because it's Chinese!" Are you willing to question the core of U.S. policy just to claim TikTok should be banned?
Signs of an economic crisis are gradually emerging.
Yesterday, Powell mentioned the possibility of one more interest rate cut in 2025, which shocked markets. This suggests the Federal Reserve is concerned about inflation returning to higher levels, while also being unable to risk a recession.
Political issues in Canada, France, Germany, and South Korea have economic roots.
Germany and France, the two largest economies in Europe, are facing stagnation. Germany has not grown since the COVID-19 pandemic, and France’s economy has seen less than 1% annual growth.

Israel recognizes no boundaries, and this is the sole reason for the disputes between Israel and its neighboring countries. It has annexed part of Syria, has plans for the West Bank, has depopulated part of Gaza, and intends to annex it in the future. With this situation, it seems we're gradually returning to ancient times, where anyone who desired and saw their neighbor weakened would covet their land and resources and attack them to seize control.
No wonder Trump wants to annex Canada!

The Soviets had a joke that went like this: a Russian and an American were friends. The American was hungry and unemployed. One morning, he went in front of the White House to protest and started eating hay. President Kennedy came out, ordered food for him, offered him a job, and then asked if he needed anything else. The American replied, "Yes, give me a plane ticket to Russia, I have a friend there I want to visit." When he arrived in Russia, he went to see his friend, only to find him also starving to death. He told his friend his story and suggested he go protest as well. The next morning, his friend went to the Kremlin and started eating hay. Nikita Khrushchev, the General Secretary of the Communist Party, came out and asked why. The Russian said, "I'm hungry." Khrushchev replied, "Well, you're making a mistake. The weather is fine, eat some grass, save the hay for winter."
It feels like the world is living in the jokes of the Soviet era.

With the growth of artificial intelligence and technology, electricity consumption has also increased. Based on the available data, the United States may face power shortages in the future.

Trump constantly threatens that if any country tries to challenge the petro-dollar, he will impose tariffs on its imports to the U.S. in order to deprive them of access to America's strong economy. I want to share some insights about the global economy with you and explore how the world is progressing.
In today’s cast, I will discuss the seriousness of the threat to the petro-dollar. If you find it helpful, I would appreciate your support.
