So, Rod or anyone else, my son and I are in a disagreement that I’d like your take on. I say we’re in a Fourth Turning where the elites versus the populists, or the globalist versus the nationalists, or the communist versus the capitalists, or all three, it’s raging on, and yet to be won by the good guys. He argues that we’re in a First Turning. The Republicans hold the house, the Senate, the presidency, and the supreme court, and we have articles like yours above.
It is possible both of you are wrong. I am an Unlicensed Noncertified historian (which sounds much better than a history nut), The world is waaaay to complicated for one theory/idea to explain it all. Instead of looking at politics/thew world as the 1st or 4th tuning it could be...Tuesday.
"elites versus the populists"
Ever read about 19th century America?
"globalist versus the nationalists"
Define your terms. IF you are talking/thinking about Davos. 1. these guys are NOT as smart/in control as they think they are. 2. Sh*t happens, ie The Rhine river freezes over and here come 65000 Germans who want to Join The Roman Party.
I think you’re saying that The Turnings is just an oversimplified way to describe history. It’s way more complicated than that theory can even begin to explain.
TBF, my friend James Lindsay (Ph.D. in mathematics) says that Howe's theory is "astrology for humanities majors". I actually footnote that in the new book! The theory is certainly not provable in any scientific way, but it tracks extremely well with Anglo-American history from the 1400s to the present. It is not prophecy: it's an interpretive device.
Anyway, I flesh out why it makes sense as an interpretive framework, why I don't think it actually is "astrology", and regardless of its predictive power or lack thereof, why we're living through exactly what it predicts right now (even if only coincidentally). I also explain why I don't think it's coincidental at all.
Well I can tell you this much: Neil Howe is absolutely certain that we're in a Fourth Turning, and he (with William Strauss) invented the term. So from the horse's mouth, you are correct.
FWIW, I devote a lot of time to Neil's theory in my new book (just sent to the publisher this week), with Trump as the leader who emerges in the ekpyrosis (the Crisis, which is to say, the Fourth Turning) and resets everything, like Washington, Lincoln, and FDR. If you'll forgive me, I think I did a pretty good job of laying it out.
Both of you will love it. "Trump's New World Re-Order".
We seem to forget that Militarily, Culturally, Economically, The United States Of America IS the 800lb gorilla. What's the saying "If America gets a cold the world gets pneumonia"
I recall reading one of the reasons the War Of Independence happened is a lot of powerful people in GB realized if they didn't get The Colonies under control, very soon the tail would be wagging the dog.
American elites swing between being terrified of the disapproval of their favorite foreign countries and certain of their absolute power. We get Johnson's hubris in Vietnam at the same time that many in his administration like McNamara were convinced the Soviets would "inevitably" win and our job was to manage the decline as well as we could.
That strain of thinking -- often schizophrenic, as under LBJ -- has been the constant refrain of our foreign policy establishment for decades, and you see it exemplified by presidents of both parties, with Nixon, Reagan, and Trump being the only outliers in my lifetime.
As per usual, the extremes are false. American power is not unlimited: we have to pick our fights and know what we're good and bad at just like everyone else. But American power is VAST, structural, and not going away any time this century short of the Second Coming or a nuclear holocaust. Artfully employed, we can be absolutely globally dominant so long as we don't do stupid things and overreach.
This is the essence of Trump's entire agenda, as I outline in great detail in the new book.

But American power is VAST, structural, and not going away any time this century short of the Second Coming or a nuclear holocaust.......................
That's what I mean by we're the 800lb gorilla. You are correct someday we'll collapses. Question is Who will replace us? Someone Will, if history teaches us anything its That.
"McNamara were convinced the Soviets would "inevitably" win and our job was to manage the decline as well as we could."
He was not The Only One. You could say That was what Detente was all about. OR you could say it was a continuation of George F. Kennan from Moscow, the "Long Telegram".
You are certainly correct in saying that we “won’t get this stuff”anywhere else. And, in this case, “stuff” is a loaded word, meaning fact-based reporting and analysis of some of the most historically significant achievements, especially in the foreign policy and trade realm, of any president in American history.
I’ve just gotta say what a super analysis of what’s going on. It’s kind of frustrating that the real advances and incredible achievements of Donald Trump just not recognise by the mainstream media but of course they’re all controlled by the baddies and everything I wish they could somehow just go out of business and start telling it like it is like you do.
An excellent double article, Dr. Martin! Donald Trump’s record as President is not spotless, but it is a very good one. He has continued to win with this massive and historic trade deal with the European Union where both sides mutually agreed to 15% tariffs on each other’s goods essentially resetting the trade relationship between us and our European allies. They are now almost as open to us as we are to them and they will be buying down their trade surplus and investing hundreds of millions of dollars in American industry and in energy purchases from the United States. They will now be buying from Texas and Louisiana, not Moscow as they should’ve been all along. This isn’t the war-torn Europe of the postwar years. They don’t need a leg up on trade anymore. Before this deal was cut, President Trump also got our NATO allies to agree to up their defense spending even more. He’s not trying to blow up NATO to the contrary, he wants a strong NATO that can defend itself. You know what I want to see as an American and citizen of the free world? Strong and well-funded Canadian, British, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Belgian, Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish militaries who can stand on their own two feet and don’t depend on Uncle Sam to be there to be their security blanket every time they have a problem. Make Europe strong again! Our NATO allies act like the deadbeat adult child of a parent who pays their bills while they live in the basement and play video games all day. Trump is the strict father who practices tough love and evicted his Canadian and European children from the basement and made them get a job, get an apartment of their own and cut off their cash flow and made them pay for their own stuff with their money they earned from working. Donald Trump respects the Canadians and the Europeans, but he’s going to make them be full partners in this enterprise NOT dependents. Marco Rubio added another feather to his cap with the Israeli-Lebanese Peace Accords. It has become abundantly clear Secretary of State Rubio NOT Vice President J.D. Vance should be the GOP’s Presidential nominee in 2028. Vance has proven himself to be a clown especially with his recent comments lecturing Israel about not overreaching to the Iran Deal. The peace accords are a big deal because they stipulate that Lebanon will recognize Israel and Iran and Hezbollah will be expelled from Lebanon. This deal means that the Lebanon government will take full control of the country, Hezbollah can’t use it as a base from which to attack Israel anymore and Lebanon could be on its way to joining the Abraham Accords. If Hezbollah is removed as promised, Lebanon will be at internal peace for the first time since the mid-1970s when the Palestinians and Lebanese Islamists launched a war against the government. Here’s the thing about the Palestinians. I have sympathy for the Palestinian people and there can be no doubt that historically they suffered through some serious hardships. But they have constantly shot themselves and their cause in the foot, with how they went about fighting for their freedom. Instead of doing through the democratic process, peaceful negotiations and lobbying, the Palestinians have used terrorism to achieve their goals. This is why every country who’s ever taken them in has regretted it. Once they got settled in any place, they became a huge problem for that country. The Palestinians need to jettison the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, and back pro-peace, secular and democratic Palestinian leadership.
The Palestinians wreaked havoc in Lebanon. They tortured and brutally murdered Lebanese Christians on the regular and launched attacks on Israel from Lebanon, thus why the Israelis had to invade in 1982 in Operation Peace for Galilee. Or how about the terrorist acts they committed in Jordan? Trump striking Iran because they once again violated the ceasefire is a good thing. The IRGC is sadly mistaken if they think they can outlast us. Iran will be free one way or another. Why did Trump sigh this ceasefire? He’s no Neville Chamberlain, he knows cutting a deal with the Islamic Republic won’t last. But he needs this time to train Reza Pahlavi’s Immortal Guards so when the time comes they’ll be ready to fight Iranian government forces. I would bet you anything that’s why he did this deal even though he knew it wouldn’t actually solve the conflict and the Iranians as always, wouldn’t hold up their end of the bargain in the long run. He didn’t surrender, he’s buying time. Trump’s record on primary endorsements is remarkable. This is firmly his party with Thomas Massie, Bill Cassidy and Thom Thillis all gone. Trump has made it abundantly clear to elected Republicans you don’t cross the boss. John Thune is next on the chopping block if he continues to oppose the very popular SAVE America Act. The vast majority of Americans left, right and center favor Voter ID. He’s been an awful Senate Majority Leader who ignores his constituents and the party’s base. I think Louisiana Senator John Kennedy should replace Thune as Senate Majority Leader and he should be primaried in South Dakota. Tucker Carlson and MTG leaving the Republican Party is welcome news. Both are loons who’ve gone off the deep end. Nick Fuentes also left the party awhile back to become a moderate Democrat. The Republican Party is no place for kooks anyway anymore than David Duke or Richard Spencer do. White supremacists, Neo-Nazis, white nationalists, antisemites, groypers, anti-Zionists, chauvinists, and homophobes have NO place in the party of Lincoln! Period. End of story. If you hate blacks, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans, Jews, women, gay people, or disabled people, the Republican Party doesn’t want you! The GOP stands firmly behind Israel in fighting Islamist terrorism. Folks like Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, MTG, Nick Fuentes, Jackson Hinkle, Tim Pool, and Dave Smith who are antisemitic and traffic in every conspiracy theory under the sun about Jews, don’t belong in the Republican Party.

What Everyone Got Wrong About Watergate — Does It Exonerate Nixon?
https://www.therightreasons.net/topic/121417-what-everyone-got-wrong-about-watergate-%E2%80%94-does-it-exonerate-nixon/
Nixon was the victim of a coup. Roger Stone does a great job of explaining. The Deep State has been around for a while.
You are certainly correct in saying that we “won’t get this stuff”anywhere else. And, in this case, “stuff” is a loaded word, meaning fact-based reporting and analysis of some of the most historically significant achievements, especially in the foreign policy and trade realm, of any president in American history.

They had plenty to say before he did it, about how he could never do it. But the minute he did it, not a word. On this and so very many other things.
