On this edition of Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael, Andrew Day of The American Conservative returns to the program for a discussion about the recent Israeli strike on Iran and its far-reaching implications. Specifically, we explore how this development challenges the ideological coherence of conservative supporters of Donald Trump and the broader MAGA movement—particularly those who advocate for a non-interventionist, "America First"-oriented foreign policy. As tensions escalate in the Middle East, what does this moment reveal about internal divisions within the American right? We also delve into why Andrew and others on the American right are questioning the U.S.-Israel special relationship and how some conservatives are frustrated with Trump's approach to Middle East foreign policy and specifically dealing with Iran. Moreover, Andrew explains why he believe this moment, which could evolve into an all-out war, could've been avoided with a different Iran policy.

In this episode, Noah Arazi, Pinsker Centre Policy Fellow, sits down with Nile Gardiner, Director of The Heritage Foundation's Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, to discuss Britain's recent trade deal with the US, the condition of the Special Relationship, and the future of wider transatlantic cooperation.

The special relationship is founded on a need to "get something" from another, because we feel deficient in something. We expect another to complete us in a way we cannot complete ourselves. This inevitably ends in anger, and a projection of guilt onto another. It's like saying, "Because you do not complete me, and wipe away my feelings of deficiency, you ar guilty!" We get angry when we do not get want we want from another, but we have "set it up" to always remain discontented. The person cannot complete us, because in truth we are not lacking. It is an illusion of lack that we project, and make demands on others to fill. We use this to justify our anger and attack. The Special Relationship is subtle and vicious. It does not see the corrections that need to be made within ourselves, therefore it demands others must change, but not ourselves. It asks for "sacrifice" from others, and always feels lacking.

​Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein significantly strained his relationship with Queen Elizabeth II and the broader royal family. Despite the Queen's deep affection for her son, the mounting public and media scrutiny compelled her to take decisive action to protect the monarchy's reputation. In November 2019, following a widely criticized BBC Newsnight interview where Andrew attempted to explain his ties to Epstein, he announced his withdrawal from public duties with the Queen's consent. This decision marked a pivotal moment, reflecting the severity of the situation and the necessity to distance the royal institution from the scandal. ​The repercussions of Andrew's involvement with Epstein extended further. In January 2022, amid a civil lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre alleging sexual assault, the Queen stripped Andrew of his military affiliations and royal patronages. This move underscored the monarchy's commitment to accountability, even when it concerned close family members. Although Andrew settled the lawsuit out of court in February 2022, his public image suffered irreparable damage. Throughout these challenges, Queen Elizabeth maintained a delicate balance between her roles as a mother and the sovereign, supporting her son privately while upholding the integrity of the Crown publicly.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister BenjaminNetanyahu's meeting yesterday may rank in historical, strategic importance alongside those of Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill in the early years of World War II and the collaborations of Ronald Reagan with Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II at the Cold War's zenith. In each case, "special relationships" were forged that empowered embattled leaders to stave off and defeat their times' "existential threats to freedom." The partnership on display during Tuesday's White House press availability, rooted in a shared commitment to victory over totalitarians seeking the destruction of both countries, can – and must – do the same in ours. Most immediately, President Trump's common sense declaration that Gaza has become uninhabitable sets the stage for the relocation of its populace and the first decisive loss contemporary Sharia supremacists have suffered in what is truly their "endless war" against Judeo-Christian civilization. This is Frank Gaffney.

A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/greenland-canada-panama-how-trump-2-0-is-going-to-be-a-wild-ride-13852423.htmlIn a week when a staggeringly large wildfire laid Los Angeles low, for which the ‘progressive' mayor and the governor could be partly to blame, it was also intriguing to see president-to-be Trump's statements about purchasing Canada and Greenland, and laying claim to the Panama Canal.There was also the withering attack on Britain – including direct accusations against their Prime Minister Keir Starmer – over the horrific gang-rapes of young girls there for decades. Presidential Buddy #1 Elon Musk used X (Twitter) to exhume this story of 250,000 girls (according to Musk) being turned into sex-slaves. It had been swept under the carpet.My first reaction to these – how shall I put in politely – “imperial” assertions was that Trump is being himself, mercurial, and that he was merely making flippant comments with no intention of following through. But on thinking about it, there is a certain logic to it, as outrageous as it might appear.On the one hand, there is precedent: the US did buy Alaska from Russia, and Louisiana from France. There is also precedent for invasions: it invaded Mexico and annexed, if I remember correctly, California, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and bits of several other states. Furthermore, the province of Panama itself was separated from Columbia by the US in 1903.On the other hand, there are fairly good reasons for all this. I have been of the opinion that the recent H1-B narrative was astroturfed by the British Deep State (“Whitehall”); the Musk counter-narrative on rape affects both Whitehall and its Parliament (“Westminster”) as Starmer appeared unnerved in debate with his opposition; who knows if it might lead to his downfall.Apart from any personal reasons Musk may have (he himself went through the H-1B system and may be sensitive about it), it is yet another indication that the alleged ‘Special Relationship' between the US and the UK may now be mostly a pious myth. Trump, rightly, focused on the Quad, and it was Biden, an Atlanticist, who cooked up the AUKUS submarine alliance, which seems to have achieved very little so far, although The Economist magazine talks it up.Britain, to nobody's surprise after Brexit, is spiralling down into irrelevance.Besides, the UK Labour Party allegedly indulged in election interference, with 100+ ‘volunteers' sent to swing states during the US Presidential election campaign to support Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate. This, one could argue, is casus belli.Trump has also in the past made noises about Europeans not bearing their fair share of the cost of the NATO military alliance: he prodded them to increase their spending to 2% of respective GDP, and now may want more. He does not seem to think it's America's duty to spend blood and treasure protecting wealthy Europeans from the alleged Russian threat.But the Canada/Greenland offer is not so much about Europe as it is about China. It is about the fabled Northwest Passage, the alternative polar route for trade, which becomes viable as a result of global warming. This can become a new seaborne trade route between the Atlantic and the Pacific, much of which is now through the Panama Canal.In an engaging conversation on pgurus.com, retired General and geo-strategist Rajiv Narayanan laid out the case for fending off the Chinese. He said they have been talking up the ‘Arctic Silk Route', which alarmed the Russians, who immediately upgraded the military capability of some of their Arctic Ocean outposts.China does have a problem. They are concerned about their dependence on the Straits of Malacca, which India (and possibly other Quad members) could blockade. They have been talking to the Thais about a canal through the Isthmus of Kra, and it is possible they may have grand plans of getting access to Chittagong (after surgically removing India's control of the Northeast by invading through the Chicken's Neck).The Chinese are also active in the Panama Canal. A Hong Kong firm now runs two major ports, Balboa and Cristobal, at either end of the canal. Chinese firms also run the Panama-Colon container port under the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative). They also have a railway project that is a direct competitor to the Panama Canal, the 3000 kilometer Bi-Oceanic Corridor, from Brazil's port of Santos to Peru's port of Ilo, connecting the Pacific to the Atlantic.Thus, it is not purely idle talk on the part of Trump to pinpoint Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal. There is method to this apparent madness. There are also immense mineral resources in both Canada and Greenland, which will become accessible as the tundra thaws.Canadians may well accept such an offer from the US, considering the mess their politicians, especially Trudeau, have made. The Canadian dollar is now at 0.69 US dollars, down from a peak of 1.06 US dollars in 2011. In addition, the Trump threat of 25% tariffs on Canada, if put in place, could squeeze that nation's exports.As for Greenland, its sparse population of only about 57,000 people may not feel particularly Danish, since they were actually colonized by the Danes around 1721. They may well be willing to join the US. Incidentally, we are all used to thinking Greenland is a gigantic landmass, but that is an illusion from the Mercator Projection. In reality, it is about 2/3rds the size of India, and about the same as Saudi Arabia.Be that as it may, what is most relevant to India in these musings by Trump is whether it gives any clues as to how he may affect India's interests. If he is intensely focused on China, then that is good for India. If he wants to cut Europe down to size, and to exit the disastrous Ukraine war, India would benefit. If he can end the Gaza war, great.Biden's national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, visited India recently. It is likely that the intent was to bully India into unilateral concessions before Trump takes over. I saw a new AI roadmap on Twitter that shows a) allies with whom the US will share technology (basically the Anglosphere + Japan + some of Western Europe), b) friends with which it will be arms-length (most of the world, including India), and then c) foes that will be sanctioned (eg. China).Then there is the Damocles Sword of tariffs hanging over India (Trump claims India has the highest tariffs in the world and he threatens to retaliate in kind), and these will hurt.At the moment, trying to divine Trump's foreign policy is a tall order. We have to read the tea leaves or chicken entrails, or extrapolate from whatever crumbs of information we get. This is going to be a wild ride.The AI-generated podcast on this essay courtesy NotebookLM from Google:1100 words, 11 Jan 2025 This is a public episode.

Sadiq Khan, Starmer & Trump: Have Labour ruined the UK-US Special Relationship? A brilliant episode of #NCFDeprogrammed, as hosts Connor Tomlinson & Harrison Pitt discuss all things Trump with GB News presenter Ben Leo who's just back from covering the US election.

#LONDON:Starmer and Trump and the special relationship. 1931 Downing Cabinet Room

The British political class has clung on to a fantasy of its own relevance in Washington DC for decades. The special relationship that British Prime Ministers like to refer to (a bond that perhaps existed for Roosevelt and Churchill) has been an article of faith in Downing Street for decades but not in the White House. During the second Trump presidency, it will be exposed as the fiction it is.In 1948, the British finally ended their mandate government over Palestine. As they withdrew a vicious civil war between Jewish and Arab communities began, followed by a full invasion by the Arab League when the state of Israel had been declared. The British had created the tensions through their handling of Jewish immigration.

At the centre of the Global American empire, a storm is coming. But it's in the European periphery that the effects will be the most acute. Can anyone steer a path through the rocks? We'll be looking at chaos in the German auto industry - as Volkswagen overruns its cost budget by 20 per cent. At chaos in the European Union - as a heavily dug-in Von der Leyen regime goes full bunker mentality. And chaos in merrie ol' England, as the wet wobbler Keir Starmer brings down the final curtain on the Special Relationship. Between one world and the next, between a rock and a hard place, it is America that decides, but it is Europe that is going to have to choose a new future.

Given how things started almost 250 years ago between the United States and King George III, the history of diplomacy and friendship between the White House and Queen Elizabeth II is quite remarkable. Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, talked about this history with David Charter, the assistant editor (US) of The Times and author of Royal Audience: 70 years, 13 presidents--One Queen's Special Relationship with America.  Queen Elizabeth II reigned over the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms for seven decades until her death in 2022 - the longest-serving British monarch of all time. She first visited the United States as a princess when she and her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, arrived in Washington, D.C. on October 31, 1951. She stayed at Blair House with President Harry Truman and his family, as the White House was under major renovation. Several months later she would ascend the throne after the passing of her father, King George VI.  It would be years before her first visit to the United States as Queen, when she and her husband arrived on October 17, 1957 and stayed with President Dwight Eisenhower and First Lady Mamie Eisenhower at the White House. The Queen had a fondness for Eisenhower having met him during World War II. Queen Elizabeth would go on to meet every sitting president through Joe Biden, except for Lyndon Johnson, and you'll learn why in this episode. You'll also find out with which president she shared her scone recipe, the president who most shared her love of horses, and the presidential family that reminded her a great deal of her own.
