It might be politics all the way down, but it's economics all the way up and the rip in this ship is the exponential public debt, that will eventually be monetized away.

As George Washington said, the last official act of any government is looting the treasury.

What happens when bread starts going up a few dollars a week and states and regions start having to issue local currencies?

When the big tree falls, saplings grow up in its place.

Then foreign policy starts to become between Texas and California?

Then that Europe looks to be devolving as well.

Where does that leave Israel?

Much of the frustration of the world, from the last several centuries of colonialism, looks to be concentrated on Israel, given those images being seared in the young generation's mind.

When it's millions and billions of people, it's not so much culture and politics, as it's biology and physics. One thing to note about physics, there is no attraction, without repulsion.

Israel is painting a target on itself.
