TakiMag (Photo by Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post via Getty Images) With President Donald Trump’s already towering ego further enlarged with each day he spends in office, foreign diplomats have cynically begun pandering to his colossal narcissism as their most efficient available means of statecraft. The latest embarrassing example comes with Ukrainian negotiators aiming to exploit his vanity and lock in his support of their war with Russia by sycophantically…Open
BANNON: To have terms of surrender, the enemy has to think they’re beaten. These Persians do not think they’re beaten. They have the initiative and believe they’re winning. This isn’t just U.S. vs Iran, it’s U.S. vs the CCP, and we just escalated with a naval blockade.

TakiMag The land was called Persia, and in 500 BC was the most powerful state in the known world. It ruled most of central Asia and lorded from the Balkans to Egypt. The name Iran was given to the ancient nation much later on by a minor officer–turned-emperor called Pahlavi in order to make the place sound less Arabic and more Arian. Persia met its Waterloo when successive Persian kings decided to occupy Greek city states around 490 BC. All you history buffs know the rest. Marathon came first in 490, when the…Open
The Greeks have been fighting the Persians probably longer than anybody, so it seems somehow fitting that the latest front in the current war with Iran may be in Greece. The Greek police just arrested a 36-year-old man at Eleftherios Venizelos Airport in Athens on suspicion of spying for Iran at the Souda Bay, Crete naval base. The suspect is of Georgian descent and a native of Azerbaijan. According to Greek authorities, he was in direct contact with his handlers in Iran via an encrypted Internet application. After his arrest, the Greeks found a large number of photos of the Souda Bay naval base on his phone. Souda Bay is a NATO base in Crete. It is a key facility in support of ongoing U.S. military operations in the Middle East. On its…Open
