Ben, thank you as always for your in-depth, 365 degree analysis of this crisis that cannot be found anywhere, not even by a long shot. You have made all of us who listen to and follow you a lot smarter.

I just read the entire excellent questions by Ben Norton addressed to Michael Hudson and Hudson answers to Ben Norton.

My humble understanding is basically about these thoughtless and unnecessary US-Israel War on Iran has turned the tables not only against them but is on the way of causing a great catastrophe of “Currency Crisis, Economic Crisis, Energy Crisis, Food Crisis, Political Crisis and Environmental Crisis to not only the present generation but the future generations” causing present and future perpetual instability mostly to Global South which includes Middle East and also to some extent to Global North.

It’s a shame that the United States and Israel are hugely and solely responsible for causing the greatest catastrophic damage to planet earth and robbing the world of Peace and Prosperity and Stability.

Ogni conflitto in Medio Oriente ridisegna le rotte energetiche globali. Il punto vero non è il prezzo del petrolio nel breve: è chi controlla le infrastrutture di transito. Chi ha le pipeline, chi ha i porti, chi ha gli accordi bilaterali. L’economia reale si gioca lì, non sui mercati finanziari.

From the article ..."The American philosophy is, number one, you bomb civilians; you break all the rules of international law which are against that. You bomb civilians to demoralize them.". So true and so evil. The Israeli philosophy is the same.

Thank you Michael Hudson and Ben for speaking stark truth, instead of the manipulative bullshit of mainstream media. Particularly since Substack and other alt media have.been covering Gaza, the sadistic and dominating structure of US and allies financial and military power is impossible to ignore. I haven't given up on the ability of people to overcome devious tyrants and help create a world of international co-operation and respect for others, but these days are very difficult. New ideas for organising and collective action needed.

There's a difference between a question and a speech. I'd be grateful if you asked a question in fewer than 20 words and left the talent do the talking. Thanks.
