Introduction: A War of Hubris and Unavoidable Consequences I’ve spent decades analyzing the intersections of geopolitics, energy, and the arrogance of centralized power. What’s unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz is not merely a regional conflict; it is the final, convulsive gasp of an American military and economic model that has long been bankrupt. President Donald Trump, sworn into office in January 2025, chose this war. In my view, this decision was not born of strategic necessity but of desperate, flailing hubris — a last attempt to assert dominance in a world that has already moved beyond it. We are now witnessing the irreversible consequences. The Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately 20% of the world’s oil flows, is the epicenter. As Willow Tohi reported in NaturalNews.com, escalating tensions here pose a “significant risk to global energy security” [1]. The U.S., under Trump, has initiated a conflict it cannot win, against an adversary that has spent decades preparing for this exact scenario. The humiliating retreat of assets like the USS Abraham Lincoln is not an anomaly; it is a symbol. American military dominance, built on the illusion of invincible carriers and limitless firepower, is over. The Unthinkable Has Happened: American Military Dominance…

The U.S. military possesses several capabilities that it could wield to combat naval mine warfare in the Strait of Hormuz.Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy views the maritime weapon as a key pillar of its military strategy, according to a 2017 Office of Naval Intelligence report, and reportedly began laying mines in the sea passage last week.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a Pentagon briefing Friday, however, that there was “no clear evidence” of mines in the strait. RELATEDAdm. Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command, said Monday that U.S. forces destroyed storage bunkers for naval mines during a U.S. strike on military targets on Iran’s oil export hub, Kharg Island, on Friday. U.S. forces also destroyed 16 Iranian minelayers last week, according to CENTCOM. Iran is estimated to possess roughly 6,000 mines, according to a congressional report published Wednesday. The stockpile may include limpet mines, which are typically attached to a ship manually by a diver; moored mines, which float below the water’s surface and are tethered to the seabed; bottom mines that rest on the seabed; and drifting mines, which float above the water’s surface and detonate upon contact.Here’s a look at the U.S. Navy’s arsenal of minesweepers,…

Kristin Cabot is pushing back against the narrative behind the viral “Coldplay Kiss Cam” moment that derailed her career.The former Astronomer HR executive claimed that her relationship with then-CEO Andy Byron was a byproduct of a high-intensity professional culture where sharing desks and social drinks were standard practice during an upcoming appearance on “The Oprah Podcast.”Despite the global speculation about an illicit affair, Cabot maintained that she was already separated from her husband at the time and that he was aware of her “very close” working relationship with Byron. Cabot explained that her daughter alerted her to the fact that her estranged husband was attending the same Coldplay concert she was at with Byron on that fateful night.”My daughter’s like, ‘This is so fun! Great!’ … and in my mind I thought, ‘Well, that’s… is this going to be weird if he sees me with Andy?

CAIRO — President Donald Trump said Sunday that he has demanded about seven countries send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, but his appeals have brought no commitments as oil prices soar during the Iran war.The president declined to name the countries heavily reliant on Middle East crude that the administration is negotiating with to join a coalition to police the waterway where about one-fifth of the world’s traded oil normally flows.“I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory, because it is their own territory,” Trump said about the strait, claiming the shipping channel is not something the United States needs because of its own access to oil. Trump spoke while answering reporters’ questions as he flew back to Washington from Florida aboard Air Force One.Trump said China gets about 90% of its oil from the strait, while the U.S. gets a minimal amount. He declined to discuss whether China will join the coalition.“It would be nice to have other countries police that with us, and we’ll help. We’ll work with them,” Trump said. Previously, he has appealed to China, France, Japan, South Korea and Britain.Protesters in Seoul, South Korea, shout slogans March 16…

Just days before their start in the NCAA Tournament, the Alabama Crimson Tide is dealing with an off-court legal issue with one of its starting players. Guard Aden Holloway was arrested on Monday for possession of marijuana, said Stephanie Taylor, a Tuscaloosa Police Department spokesperson, to the New York Post. The spokesperson said more than a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia and cash were found after agents with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force conducted a search of a residence on Monday morning.  Holloway, 21, was arrested and charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and failure to affix a tax stamp. He was transported to Tuscaloosa County jail on Monday at 9:48 a.m. and later released at 10:45 a.m. His bond was $5,000. It is currently unclear if the Crimson Tide will be disciplining Holloway before they take on Hofstra in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday in Tampa, Florida. 2026 NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT SELECTIONS REVEALEDThe Crimson Tide went 23-9 this season, earning them a No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region, where they hope to get off on the right foot against the No. 13 Pride, which went 24-10 this year, at…

President Donald Trump on Monday recast his weekend call for American allies to deploy warships to the Strait of Hormuz as a test of loyalty rather than a strategic necessity. The shift in Trump’s framing of the issue came after nearly half a dozen countries either pushed back directly on the request or showed no enthusiasm about complying.“We don’t need anybody,” Trump insisted during a press conference in the East Room of the White House. “We’re the strongest nation in the world. We have the strongest military by far.” “I’m almost doing it, in some cases, not because we need them, but because I want to find out how they’ll react,” he continued, adding, “I’ve been saying for years that if we ever did need them, they won’t be there.” The latter remark was a reminder of Trump’s long-standing grievances with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The president contends that the United States is the reason the alliance remains powerful. He also often complains that other members neither contribute their fair share nor show much eagerness to support the United States.“They should be jumping to help us,” Trump said on Monday, “Because we’ve helped them for years stay out of…
