This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm John Bachelor, Gaius. Michael Lejos,

Germanicus is here in Londonian, reflecting upon the events of these last days for the Roman Empire's

inheritor, the American Empire. They've hidden an unusual

patch in terms of candidates for the Emperor's job in 2025. So there's uncertainty here as to

what that will mean for blue or red. There is certainty, however, about the war in Europe.

The three conflicts going on in Eurasia. There's

the war in the Middle East, Israel versus Iran. There's the war in East Asia, the People's Republic of China versus the United States

and its allies, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand. The war is not kinetic, but it's up to everything including

Cyber. And the war in Europe, the war that led by Mr. Zulenski since the beginning,

is it a civil war or is it a war of invasion?

We have not answered that question and we're not going to attempt it.

We are going to say there have been signs of the gods voting in some fashion these last days.

One. The F-16, six of them delivered after a year and a half of talk. One of them

down with a master pilot, friendly fire or not. it's gone.

Zolenski has fired the head of Air Force as if that will come to something.

Two, the offensive against the Kursko Bloss. That is permitted the Russian forces to make advances that look according to analysts to be irreversible towards gobbling up the whole of the Dunbass at

least who Hanskin to Natz provinces.

And three, Selensky himself must be aware that the politics are a ticking bomb now.

There's the U.S. election.

We know that Mr. Trump, the Red Team, is not indicated continuing support. We do not have clarity on the

blue team, but we cannot expect too much in the way of war fighting from a candidate who's

campaigning entirely on domestic issues.
