The Empire, the Thucydides Trap, and Other Big Picture Things

 

I’ve been interested lately in the bigger picture—and it’s the more positive picture—of President Trump on the world stage. So much interrelates. I’ve written about it here and here

One of my sources has been Glenn Beck. But I was clued in by a friend to another source of just this kind of chessboard thinking: Promethean Action. Mainly, I’ve heard from two women, Susan Kokinda and Barbara Boyd, who study and make the connections and try to share this rather complicated viewpoint with the world. I’m still looking into the background, which I may touch on below.

I had heard Susan Kokinda a time or two on Stephen Gardner’s podcast. I had even gone to her Substack once. But then I forgot to keep going there. So I knew who she was when a friend reminded me of this resource, and I’ve been listening and learning—about things I never knew before—this past couple of weeks.

These people are very pro-Trump, in a very serious and non-cheerleader kind of way. They use a deep study of history, maybe particularly ancient Greek history, to understand what we’re seeing today.

I’d like to use a fair amount of their own words to explain what’s happening in the world, at least their viewpoint, which I find compelling.

The Empire

I think it will help to start with The Empire.
