The #Iran war isn't just an oil story—it's a massive stress test for the #GreenEnergy supply chain. As I discussed on Iraqi TV, the minerals are trapped on the same maritime corridors as oil. @BayraqFaisal @ahad_en forbes.com/sites/kensilve…

@Ken_Silverstein USAID was like everything else politicians touch intended with good intentions. Then like everything else, destroyed, used by corrupt politicians as a personal slush fund. Be a leader. Go to trump with how you can return it to its original intentions.

I spent time at the Panama Canal watching the "delicate choreography" of global trade. My latest for @InsideSources: Why the 21st century isn't about ideology—it's about "connectography." We can't surrender the map. dcjournal.com/the-infrastruc… #Infrastructure #Energy #Geopolitics

Israel slaughtered 15 aid workers in Gaza, buried their bodies so nobody would know, lied about it, and only got caught because they forget to steal one of the victims' cell phones, and he recorded the entire massacre. Israel also did this:

We spent decades building a safety net for oil shocks, but never built one for gas. That oversight just became everyone’s problem. Great deep dive via Forbes/Yahoo Finance on the current LNG market turmoil. #NaturalGas #Energysecurity #IranWar‌ finance.yahoo.com/sectors/energy…

There's an active shooter in a synagogue in Michigan. He has exchanged fire with security. These type of attacks are the worst thing anyone can do. It's deeply immoral, it goes counter to any principles of peace and safety, it's wildly counterproductive and it divides Americans.

Iran is no threat - zero - to the United States.

Rula Jebreal@rulajebreal

Israeli leaders, generals, and journalists are flooding the🇺🇸 airwaves on a propaganda tour to justify to Americans why the US is fighting ISRAEL’s war against Iran. Billions of $ are wasted on this war, and Americans are dying so Israel can expand its borders in every direction.

@Ken_Silverstein @Forbes Critical point, Ken. And it hits closer to home than most realize. When China throttles rare-earth exports, the price increase flows directly to utility bills. Solar panels, turbines, and batteries all get more expensive, and ratepayers absorb it.

Denying climate change and it's causes is no different than denying gravity. It is an argument made by idiots. It does not change the laws of nature, but when used to change the laws of the country, people will die. nytimes.com/2026/02/12/cli…
