Welcome to Colonial Outcast, where we analyze and comment on the decline of empire and the implosion of the rules-based order in real time.

There is an apocryphal curse that goes something like this.

May you live in interesting times.

And you know what?

It looks like we've all been hexed because things are very interesting in a miserable, depressing, and horrifying times. And you know what? It looks like we've all been hexed because things are very

interesting in a miserable, depressing, and horrifying way. Yay, world. Also, real quick, we are,

after that solid pitch, we are on Patreon if you want exclusive content. I'm going to be doing a video

on the absurd media push to imply that Iran was somehow responsible for the attack

on the person of Donald J. Trump last weekend. So if you want some commentary on the circus,

that is our government and media complex, there's that. If not, you can just like, share,

and subscribe and turn on notifications, but only if you want to. So anyways,

we don't really release episodes on the weekends because of the bad engagement generally,

but we're going to go ahead anyways in order to beat the news cycle because no one has yet

given this Israel ICJ world court opinion that dropped Friday the attention it deserves. Like, if anything is going to

eventually cause a civil war in Israel in the future, I think it starts here. So today, it's me,

Greg Stoker, and Alina Zenafantos, and we're going to be chatting about how the rules-based

order is about to blow. So, Alina, would I be correct in saying that when we use dramatic language like about

to blow, we don't mean immediately.

Like, these things take years.

Yeah, it could.

I mean, to be honest, though, at this point, I don't even think it will take that many

years because things are moving at such a fast pace. I mean, the kind of results that we're seeing, even be honest, though, at this point, I don't even think it will take that many years, because things are moving at such a fast pace.
