The Collapse of America's Constitutional Order | Jeffrey Sachs

A president stood at the UN and claimed the right to annihilate a civilization. Congress said nothing. That is the constitutional order collapsing in public. I shuddered then, and I shudder now that a president of the United States can stand at the podium of the UN General Assembly, speaking to world leaders in a language of annihilation of other countries and of sending them to hell. It was ghastly, unprecedented, totally disgusting, disgraceful for the United States. But it is also a measure of how broken the constitutional order of the United States is.

 » Like the worst tyrant or gangster imaginable. «

Annihilation as Presidential Language

Trump basically said, like a madman—which I think, arguably, he is—that he and he alone will decide the survival of Iran. He said that he has a big, big choice to make. Maybe Iran will be a great country. Maybe Iran will be annihilated. Maybe Trump will send it to hell. And not only was the language vulgar in a way that I certainly could never, in my lifetime, have imagined coming from a president of the United States or anybody standing at the UN podium—because what Trump said was odious and completely in violation of every religious, moral, ethical, and legal standard that we have in this world—it was also a measure of the brazen collapse of our Constitution.

Who Has the Power to Declare War?

Is there a political system where one man decides the fate of another civilization? Is that how the American system works? Of course, the answer is no. The Founding Fathers, who rebelled against a mad King George III, were very explicit in the Declaration of Independence, celebrated this year, 250 years after its issuance. We're in the 250th anniversary, one that Trump says is about our freedom. It was explicit that King George took on the authority to put the military above civil rule.

And when the Founding Fathers wrote the US Constitution, they specifically assigned the power to declare war not to the commander in chief, but solely and exclusively to the United States Congress—not by choice, not if they care about it or want to, not if they want to delegate it or not, but solely to Congress. Trump said yesterday he doesn't care what the public thinks. He doesn't care what the vote is. He says, 'It doesn't even cross my mind.' And earlier this year, when he was asked, 'Well, are there any limits on your power?' he thought about it and said, 'Yes, my morality, but it's my will. It's what I want to do. Otherwise, no, there are no other limits.'

When Congress Fails to Act

What did our Congress do? The majority party in both houses simply remained silent. Trump said he was going to have the difficult choice of whether to annihilate one of the most ancient civilizations in the world, 5,000 years old, twenty times older than the United States of America.

What did our Speaker of the House say? Nothing. What did our Senate majority leader say? Nothing. What did the members of the president's party in Congress say? Nothing. That is the institutional failure. Congress has the constitutional authority over war and the power of the purse. Yet when the president claims the unilateral authority to determine whether another country lives or dies, the institutions constitutionally empowered to check that authority remain silent.

The tens or hundreds of billions of dollars that Trump has wasted of American income in this flagrant war of whim—where is Congress to say, 'You have no authority whatsoever to spend that because only we can decide on the spending and only we can declare war'? This is worse than the Roman Empire. There was a Senate that actually still said something. Our Senate says nothing.

Beyond Partisanship

I am not partisan. And a Democratic president who dared to be as absolutely mad and deranged as this president would probably find subservience in that party too. So I'm not even making a partisan point. I'm making a point about the collapse of our constitutional order.

We are so broken that not only do we have a madman in power, but there is no respect for the constitutional limits on presidential power. The president can make statements, as he made yesterday, unprecedented in the chamber of the General Assembly in front of world leaders, speaking like the worst tyrant or gangster imaginable, and not a murmur from the Republican Party, which dominates the House and the Senate.

The Absence of Institutional Restraint

Have we come to a point where one man, who I happen to think is utterly incompetent, utterly sociopathic, actually—when people are killed under his order, not a moment of reflection or remorse when 150 schoolgirls are murdered, and he knows the truth. He says, ‘Yeah, the Iranians probably did it. We'll find out.' No, not any control at all in our system of government.

So, how I feel? I shudder at the last 24 hours, both at what the president said. It made my skin crawl. I was sitting there in the chamber listening to this madness. I mean, it really was psychopathic madness, speaking in this way, with a vulgarity that is unimaginable. But then I've shuddered since at the lack of response by the leaders—the majority leader of the US Senate, the Speaker of the House, Supreme Court justices, anybody—to say no. In our system of government, it's not one person who decides on the fate of another civilization.

The Grim Constitutional Question

We are a country, we say, first of all, of representation, and the American people are aghast at this. They oppose it overwhelmingly. They do not support this war of Netanyahu and Trump, which is a two-person war of murder and destruction and assassination of leaders of another country. They do not support it.

So this is the grim fact. It wasn't just the awful statements. That was my first reaction. But then I thought, what have we come to when one person can make a statement like this and then remain essentially unchallenged in the United States system of government? Annihilation is not diplomacy. Congressional silence is not restraint. A constitutional republic cannot survive if one man claims the power to decide whether another civilization lives or dies.

Judgment Day for the Middle of the Barrel | Larry Johnson

Karl Miller's latest private assessment, dated September 16 and titled "Judgment Day Has Arrived," makes a single governing claim about diesel, jet fuel, and kerosene: physical demand is now outrunning promptly deliverable supply. Not the price of the barrel—the delivery of it. In Miller's framing the market has crossed from a pricing problem, which money solves, to a deliverability problem, which money alone does not. The next phase, he argues, forces buyers to compete not just for fuel but for delivery capacity and for the cash to fund both at once.

 » US pumps are going dark. They started a war over oil and now they can't fill a truck. « 

Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Kenya, September 17, 2026.

He is describing something the market has already begun to confirm… US retail diesel crossed $6.00 a gallon on September 11, the first time on record, ten days after setting its prior all-time high. The ULSD crack spread—the margin between diesel and crude—hit an intraday record above $108 a barrel on September 3, a level never before sustained, which tells you the scarcity is in the product, not the barrel. Distillate inventories fell to roughly 103 million barrels in late August, the lowest for that point in the calendar since 1951, and the EIA expects them to stay below 100 million through much of 2027. Miller wrote his brief into a market that is already validating its premise.
 

The Governing Condition

The spine of the assessment is deliberately simple. Take a recurring shortfall between what a market consumes and what can actually be delivered to it. Inventory and diverted cargoes can bridge that gap for a while. They cannot sustain it indefinitely. Once usable stocks are drawn down, the adjustment arrives as some combination of higher replacement cost, tighter allocation, and reduced activity—and it lands first on whichever buyer, terminal, or airport cannot secure its next delivery on time. Miller's phrase for the resolution is stark: supply must recover, or consumption must fall. There is no third option once the buffers are gone.

 

How a Diesel Shortage Becomes an Economic Crisis. 

Karl W. Miller, August 26, 2026: Global Diesel Breakdown. 

To size the thing, he runs a central diesel stress case—and here it is essential to be precise about what kind of number this is, because Miller himself is. He assumes a 1.6 million-barrel-a-day export disruption met by 50 percent replacement, leaving a residual gap of 0.8 mb/d. Held constant, that residual would demand about 72 million barrels of stock draw or demand destruction over 90 days, and 144 million over 180. These are explicitly illustrative sensitivities, not a measured global deficit—he flags repeatedly that product-level deficit magnitudes remain uncertain and that the figures are scenario mechanics rather than forecasts. The value is in the method, not the decimal.

And the method maps onto the real shocks cleanly enough. The IEA has identified three disruptions compounding at once: the Hormuz conflict removing on the order of an eighth of global supply, Russian diesel-export bans after drone strikes disabled roughly a quarter of its refining capacity, and winter distillate demand arriving into depleted tanks. Russia—historically the world’s second-largest diesel exporter—banned exports outright on July 9 to keep fuel for its military. Miller's 1.6 mb/d is an assumption; the machinery pulling barrels off the water is not.

Inventory as a Countdown, not a Cushion

The sharpest operational move in the brief is to demote the national inventory number that dominates the headlines. A country-level buffer, Miller argues, tells you almost nothing about whether a specific business keeps running. What matters is site-level endurance: usable stock—excluding tank bottoms, unqualified material, and volumes already committed to other buyers—divided by the net daily draw. A terminal with a fixed usable volume and a widening deficit is on a clock, and a replacement cargo that arrives four days after the clock runs out may as well not have sailed. The same logic scales down to a hospital’s or data center’s backup generators, where a tank that reads "full" is really a countdown measured in days against a known burn rate.

This is why his diagnosis is that the shortage will be local and uneven long before it is general. A national statistic can look adequate while individual nodes fail, because fuel that exists in the wrong place, in the wrong grade, or under someone else's contract does not cover a missed delivery. This broader point is illustrated in the photos at the top of this article.

Credit Decides Who Gets the Cargo

Miller’s second key insight is financial. In a market where prices are high and delivery cycles are long, the buyer has to fund both simultaneously—pay up for the barrel and carry it for the extra days it spends in transit. He illustrates with a delivered-cost stack that runs, in his tight-to-acute range, from roughly $200 to nearly $300 a barrel once location premium, ocean freight, terminal handling, inland delivery, and financing are added on top of the benchmark—the equivalent of something like $4.80 to $6.90 a gallon before tax. Again, these are illustrative route economics, not quotes. But note that the market has already printed the middle of that range: $6 diesel is here, and California retail has been reported above $9.

 

Food and energy are two of the most immediate and visible inflation channels

in the real economy. Karl W. Miller, August 26, 2026: Global Diesel Breakdown. 

The consequence he draws is the one worth keeping: credit becomes a supply constraint. A buyer can be perfectly solvent on annual earnings and still lack the working capital to prepay a larger cargo, meet collateral calls, and carry slower-moving inventory all at the same time. When that happens, the fuel goes to whoever can fund it, not whoever needs it most. Financially weaker importers can lose access before larger economies feel the squeeze at all.

Aviation and the Airport Problem

Jet A and Jet A-1 get their own treatment, because aviation has the least room to improvise. Qualified fuel has to be at the airport, in the hydrant, before the aircraft departs; a refinery barrel somewhere else is worthless to a delayed flight. Airlines are left to choose among buying costlier replacement fuel, tankering extra where it is operationally feasible, reworking schedules, or cancelling. Miller’s illustrative math — a $20-a-barrel step adding $60 million over 30 days for a 100,000-barrel-a-day buyer — is less important than the structural point: hedging can change what a carrier pays, but it cannot conjure a delivery that the airport cannot physically make. He is also careful to note that jet fuel and kerosene are the same cut of the barrel, so the aviation volume must not be double-counted as additional kerosene demand — a discipline that a lot of looser analysis ignores.

Where It Bites First, and How It Ends

The geography of risk, in his ranking, runs through the weakest local links: import-dependent Northwest Europe and inland markets facing winter demand on top of freight fuel; the US Gulf Coast, whose refining and export weight makes any local outage a global event; import-dependent emerging markets where foreign exchange and cargo finance can fail before physical stocks do; and airports with concentrated, hard-to-substitute supply. The common thread is that substitution is hardest exactly where the stakes are highest.

On duration, Miller offers no normalization date, and insists none can be honestly given. His planning horizon is 90 to 180 days with contingency held into 2027. The recovery point he stresses is one that calendar-watchers routinely miss: ending the shortage requires not a daily balance but a sustained surplus, because supply first has to stop the draw and then rebuild the usable buffer while still covering consumption. At a half-million-barrel-a-day surplus, rebuilding 30 million barrels of cover takes two months — and that clock only starts after supply overtakes demand. A market that merely returns to breakeven stays fragile.

The Verdict

Strip the brief to its load-bearing claim and it does not merely hold up against the tape—the tape is racing to catch up to it. This is, by every current metric, a middle-distillate physical-supply crisis: record crack spreads above $108 confirm a refining and yield failure rather than a crude shortage, inventories sit at their lowest level in seven decades heading into heating season, refineries are already running at 98 percent and still cannot make enough of the middle of the barrel, and traders and the IEA alike are warning the tightness runs clear through winter and into 2027. Miller called the nature of the danger correctly and early: this is about deliverability—the next cargo, the qualified grade, the funded position—not headline price, and that lens is sharper than nearly all of the commentary still treating a structural break as a passing spike. He wrote "Judgment Day Has Arrived" into a market that promptly broke $6 diesel for the first time in history, printed the highest distillate margins ever recorded, and watched a quarter of Russia's refining capacity and an eighth of global supply go offline at once. The banner is not hyperbole. It is a description.

One distinction has to be kept, and it is the one that makes the brief stronger rather than weaker: the quantified apparatus is a scenario toolkit, not a set of measured deficits. The 1.6 mb/d disruption, the cost ladders, the barrel counts are illustrative sensitivities—Miller says so himself—and their power is in the method, not the decimal: the residual-gap arithmetic, the site-level endurance countdown, the credit gate. Insist on that and the framework is unassailable, because you are handing a reader a way to run the numbers rather than a number to argue with. And the one development that could ease the price—softening freight and contracting manufacturing—is no refutation at all. It is the second of the two exits Miller named. Either supply recovers or consumption falls, and consumption falling is not the crisis being escaped. It is the crisis arriving.

Facing the Great Satan Next Door, Mexico Draws Closer to Iran and Palestine

For the first time, Iran illuminated Tehran's iconic Azadi Tower in the green, white, and red of the Mexican flag on Tuesday night, creating a striking tribute to Mexican Independence Day.

Tehran's Azadi Tower illuminated in the colors of the

Mexican flag, featuring the national coat of arms.

 

The September 15 display marked the 216th anniversary of the Grito de Dolores—priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla's 1810 call to arms that launched Mexico's war for independence from Spain. "Today, Mexico is not in Mexico. It is in the heart of Iran," the Iranian Embassy in Mexico posted alongside a video of the glowing monument.
 

» Today, Mexico is not in Mexico. It is in the heart of Iran. «

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Shared Realpolitik.

 

According to El Universal, this was the first time Iran lit a monument to honor Mexico. While green, white, and red are shared national colors—frequently lit on the landmark, such as for the 45th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution on February 10, 2024—Mexican Ambassador to Iran Guillermo Puente Ordorica praised the tribute to HispanTV as "a great gesture of friendship" that Mexicans will cherish. Indeed.

 

This symbolic alignment reflects broader geopolitical shifts. During the same holiday in 2025, hundreds

of thousands of Mexicans took to the streets chanting "Free Palestine" (Palestina vive) to condemn the

US-Israeli genocide in Gaza and express solidarity with Palestinians. According to the 2026 Pew

Spring Poll, Mexican public favorability dropped to just 40% for the US and 23% for Israel.

 

Nobody is illegal on his own turf.

 

¡Viva México libre, independiente y soberano!

 

Iranian Ambassador to Mexico Abolfazl Pasandideh emphasized this alignment in a message to the Mexican people: "For us Iranians, this celebration holds a very special meaning. Although Mexico and Iran are thousands of kilometers apart, our peoples share something profoundly important: a deep love for their history and identity, as well as a shared commitment to the right to freely decide their own destiny. From Iran, a fraternal greeting to the Mexican people. Long live Mexico! Long live the friendship between Iran and Mexico!"

Yemen Rocks the Gate of Tears | Pepe Escobar

No less than 25 years after 9/11, the Angel of History once again delivers a powerful kick. Five years ago, we had the astonishing imperial humiliation in Afghanistan, accomplished in a matter of days. Now, we have the astonishing humiliation of Epstein Syndicate vassal Saudi Arabia in Yemen, also accomplished in a matter of days.

» Bab al-Mandab is an international corridor, but it is part of Yemen's territory. « 
Yemeni PM Mohammed Ahmed Miftah, September 10, 2026. Yemen now has the luxury

of installing a toll gate, arguably multi-layered, in the Bab al-Mandab, if they want it. 

Serial humiliations now follow the Empire's path like a plague—and we're not even talking about the impending, stratospheric, twin strategic defeats in West Asia and the black soil of Novorossiya. Emperors' heads used to roll in Ancient "Divide and Rule" Rome for much less.

 

Saudi F-15 engaged Yemeni air defenses,

was hit, and crashed over Marib. 

September 10: Three Saudi brigades and allies, along with their light and heavy weapons, have surrendered to Houthi forces across the Hays, Al-Mokha, Al-Khokha, Taiz, and Al-Jawf fronts. Ansar Allah called it the largest mass-capture operation in modern warfare.

The overall collapse of the Saudi mercenary gangs in Yemen is so swift that even Epstein Syndicate mainstream media has been forced to acknowledge it. The Ansarallah Rolling Thunder is seizing cities; islands; capturing thousands of thugs; liberating all prisoners—and greeting them amnesty; taking control of an untold number of US tanks and weapons—Afghanistan reloaded; and being greeted as liberators of Yemeni land across the whole tribal spectrum.

Barefoot, but with the heart of a lion.

 

And of course Ansarallah from now on, officially, has taken full control of the mega-strategic Bab al-Mandab, or "Gate of Tears". As iconic images go, Mohammed al-Houthi, cousin of Supreme Leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, was spotted in liberated Al-Jarrahi driving one of countless armored vehicles abandoned by mercenary UAE-controlled gangs. 

Footage from the seized Bab el-Mandab coast shows a Houthi fighter at Hisn Murad declaring, "We don't need missiles. We don't need drones." He says artillery along the Murad coast and on Perim island will stop non-compliant vessels and "cut any and all shipping now."

The intel behind the Ansarallah Rolling Thunder—described as the largest mass-capture operation in modern warfare—was carefully coordinated with the IRGC. The Axis of Resistance was fully aware that after devastating Iranian attacks on the Jordan bases, the US was strangled in its capacity to help the Saudis prevent a Yemeni onslaught.

September 11: Saudi Arabia says Iraqi-launched drones struck its East-West 

Abqaiq-to-Yanbu Pipeline. Yanbu storage lasts 5–7 days. The war is going so well!

And onslaught it was, along the entire Yemeni western coast: from Hays to Al-Khokha and Al-Mokha via Al-Wazi'iyah, including the military camps of Khaled and Jabal al-Nar, plus Red Sea islands. Hizam al-Assad, member of the Political Bureau of Ansarallah, interviewed by Al-Mayadeen (English translation here), reaffirmed the "strategic importance" of the whole western coast, "and the region of Al-Khokha, the region of Hays, as well as the region of Al-Mafqa up to Dhabab and Miyyun, as well as the Yemeni islands in the Red Sea."

Col. Muammar Gaddafi in Sana'a on May 22, 1990, the day Yemen reunified North and South, addressing Yemeni officers and praising Yemen as the cradle of Arab civilization and its people's historic role in spreading Arabism—emphasizing their strength and independence beyond oil wealth, American bases, or foreign dependence.

Hizam al-Assad also detailed the attempt by the Saudis "to create a form of social dissociation in these regions, whether through their 'Daeshization,' or through the exacerbation of many regional, sectarian and confessional particularisms." Context is key. In 2015, Riyadh assembled an Arab-style "coalition of the willing" to basically expel Ansarallah/the Houthis from the capital Sana'a. Major fail—even by installing a blockade of Yemeni ports, and bombing indiscriminately (I was shown several targets, some rebuilt, from Sana'a to Sa'ada). Starting in 2022, a sort of unofficial ceasefire was in place, via a memorandum of understanding. The Saudis broke it in July, attacking the runway of Sana'a airport.

"How We Won the Western Coast"

Hizam al-Assad confirmed that "we had estimates that the occupier would fall in these regions from within (…) We estimated that the community would rise up and expel it (…) The withdrawal was in fact rapid and disorderly for the enemy (…) The enemy has no cause in Yemen, especially the local instruments, who carry out Saudi agendas for money."

 

» The curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers. « Quran (11:18).

 

Western characterizations of Yemeni "aggression" once again don‘t even qualify as pathetic. Hizam al-Assad clarifies that "we have a trajectory within the framework of operations imposing the equation of ‘blockade for blockade’ and 'escalation for escalation,' and this is our primary orientation. And had the Saudi enemy not sought to disrupt this trajectory and break this equation (…) our trajectory is clear: to wrest away the legitimate Yemeni rights, and to break the blockade imposed on our country by the Saudi enemy."

The US Navy was previously de facto expelled from the Red Sea by advanced Yemeni military capabilities—including hypersonic missiles, 100% locally manufactured. Seems like Riyadh did not understand the lesson. The Yemeni Armed Forces confirmed that the Saudis launched dozens of air raids, "across the governorates of Taiz, Hodeidah, Marib, and Al-Jawf", carried out by F-15s and Typhoons taking off from King Fahd base in Taif and King Khalid base in Khamis Mushait. Unflapabble spokesman of Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier Yahya Saree—who I had the honor to meet last year in Yemen—confirmed that Made in Yemen surface-to-air missiles forced Saudis and mercenaries to abandon the base in Taiz, one of those specifically designed to harass Yemen.

 

» O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will

support you and strengthen your footing. « Quran (47:7).

Taiz is key: one of Yemen's largest cities. Ansarallah is now in full control—a massive strategic asset. As strategic assets go, few compare to Mayun island—also known as Perim, smack in the middle of the Bab al-Mandab. There’s a military airfield and a military base built by the UAE with Israeli cooperation, crammed with high-tech weapons. All that is now Ansarallah property. Now that Ansarallah controls virtually the whole western coast, what’s left to conquer is essentially Marib—for the oil and gas fields—and the port of Aden, which congregates the bulk of the mercenary forces regimented against Sana'a.

Saudi Arabia's Lose-Lose Predicament

The Ansarallah Rolling Thunder complicates the chessboard in West Asia—and beyond—to a mesmerizing degree. The price of oil is out of control. The IRGC is warning about launching a new weapon that "will give imperialists a heart attack"—as in shattering the wobbly American naval blockade.

The much-spun Mecca Defense Alliance is facing its first serious birth pangs. Turkjiye is somewhat already embedded in the Saudi war on Yemen—as Turkish drones have been falling like flies inside Yemen for weeks now. Pakistan has meekly warned that the defense pact could become operational—only to backtrack and state that it does not apply to a pre-existent situation (as in the Saudi war started in 2015). MBS should organize a pilgrimage to the Gate to shed his strategic Tears. Anything Saudi, even seagulls, won't cross the Bab al-Mandab under supervision of the Yemeni Armed Forces.

They have no fifth-generation fighter jets, no Patriot batteries, and no billion-dollar defense contracts. What they do have is something no money can buy: warrior hearts that refuse to surrender, refuse to kneel.

The Yemeni army's largest mass-extermination operation of the week, unleashing Soviet Strela-2/3, Russian Igla-S, Iranian Misagh-1/2, and Chinese QW-1 MANPADS against Saudi armored forces and M1 Abrams tanks deployed to invade and occupy Yemen.

Now couple it with the Big Bang: the coordinated multiple strike on the Abqaiq-to-Yanbu pipeline, the last remaining route for Saudi oil exports after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a massive 100 km black smoke column rising to the desert sky captured on Sentinel-3 satellite imagery.
 

A large smoke plume over the desert southeast of Medina, along

the East-West pipeline (Petroline) toward Mahd adh-Dhahab.

Is Yemen getting ready to topple the House of Saud? Saudi Arabia has an estimated 5,000 to 15,000 princes—but they don't fight. They rely on foreign mercenaries and Pakistani pilots. Their wealth can buy weapons, but can it buy loyalty? Where is the army willing to die for these degenerates?

Consequences

Expect production costs for nitrogen fertilizer plants from Europe to Asia to go totally out of control. Wheat, rice and maize yields are certified to fall, drastically, in tandem with skyrocketing diesel prices. Irrigation and harvesting will become a privilege for the wealthy. Ansarallah now has the luxury of installing a toll gate, arguably multi-layered, in the Bab al-Mandab, if they want it. Yet no exceptions for Riyadh; the dumb desert bedouins will only get a list of harsh demands.

In a televised address on July 30, 2026, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah, quoted Trump's own words before the entire Arab world: "Trump himself said Saudi Arabia is a cow; they milk it until not a drop remains, then slaughter it for meat."

Saudi Arabia’s prospects are dire, as it’s entering the worst possible lose-lose configuration: onshore oil infrastructure in tatters, maritime export routes blockaded. The verdict is not pronounced, yet. But it walks and talks, ominously, like Saudi Arabia being set up to fall, reduced to a desert wasteland, to the benefit of the usual suspects.
