Re: Is Putin Playing Possum?

This general/military strategist that Michael Savage is quoting says that Putin has localized nuclear weapons that don't have a large fallout area. He could destroy an American city without effecting Europe. Once he demonstrates he's willing to do this, Europe would be reluctant to retaliate lest t...

Re: January 6th Arlo Guthrie Binge

Rosemary Woods writ large.

It occurs to me that no phone calls for over 7 hours while the Capitol was under attack is prima facie evidence of a dereliction of duty. Imagine if there were no phone calls for 7 hours after Pearl Harbor or 9/11.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Russia has been trying to romance China into providing aid, but China really has to evaluate the situation. If China defines the U.S. as the enemy, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend, then a partnership with Russia is something to logically consider. The problem for China is that it is far more ...

Re: West Rebukes Biden's call for Regime Change in Russia

Yeah, I think it was a mistake for Biden to call for regime change. I imagine that the statement was made to Putin's coterie in the Kremlin, but I think there are more subtle ways to make your point. As long as Vladimir Putin is in charge of the country, calling him an existential threat makes his d...

Re: Alexander Dugin

My question would be: How do we get from here to there? If the State structure is outmoded, what does the transition look like between autonomous nation-states and 'Civilization Spheres'? When do nation states begin to give up their autonomy on the way to Dugin's future? What's with the 'give up' s...

Re: After 1 month: Russia, Ukraine, NATO, sanctions

Saw a short documentary on YouTube that said that the war was not quite as David and Goliath as it may appear. Since 2014 the Ukrainian military has had one simple purpose: to protect itself from a Russian invasion. They don't have the built-in kleptocracy and corruption of the Russian military. Ukr...

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine

From the BBC Russia says it will focus its invasion of Ukraine on "liberating" the east, signaling a possible shift in its strategy. The defense ministry said that the initial aims of the war were complete, and that Russia had reduced the combat capacity of Ukraine. Russia's invasion appeared aimed ...
