This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  After this week is over, there may be no turning back. President Trump is literally threatening to “obliterate” Iran’s power grid, and the Iranians cannot do a thing to prevent that from happening. But in response, the Iranians are threatening to destroy oil and gas infrastructure all over the Persian Gulf.

PARIS — U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday called NATO allies “cowards” for their unwillingness to help secure maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, which he said would be a “simple military maneuver” with little risk.Analysts studying military matters and geopolitics disagree.While countries including the U.K. and France have said they’re ready to “contribute to appropriate efforts” to ensure safe passage through the Strait, those plans remain in the preparatory stage for now. Western navies operating in the narrow waterway would be well within range of Iranian missiles, cheap drones and even artillery, defense analysts say.“No, it isn’t easy,”…

When it comes to home defense training, you have to train like you intend to fight.In 2013, I hunted with some American war fighters on the U.S. Army’s base in Hohenfels, Germany. That was an interesting experience—a story for another time—and it has nothing to do with home defense. However, while I was in Germany, I went to a Pond Training Academy. At that time, Pond was conducting some of the security at the gates to the Hohenfels Army base, and in the Pond Academy, they had a unique shooting range.That shooting range does have something to do with home…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! We call it “Trumpism” for short, the collection of positions, policies and preferences embraced by the president of the United States.But does all this amount to a coherent philosophy that can be carried out by future Republicans once Donald Trump is no longer in office?And where does that leave conservatism?
