Like the Germans of old, too many Americans have waited to indulge their long time suppressed ahuman behaviour. Now they let it all out.

1/ Russian soldiers are stopped from retreating by the use of blocking units, which threaten or if necessary shoot retreaters to discourage others. This is risky work for the blockers too, as the story of a soldier named Ivan, call sign 'Angel', shows. ⬇️

I really appreciate this review of Gilded Rage in The Bulwark. I hoped that some of the book's concerns -- corruption, authoritarianism, rule of law, inequality, our shared stake in society -- would have broad appeal.

Well, since late 2023, Western arms supplies - the matériel so very much needed on the front lines - have come to a trickle. I have been in the regions where it hurts several times, and it's not pretty. How many MBTs, IFVs, APCs, SPHs, mobile EW systems, etc. does Europe deliver to Ukraine per week?

Hilarious. Look at the facts, and listen to what the mayors of Kyiv and Lviv said today.

All the while, weak and fearful Europe continues to indulge in navel-gazing, huffing and puffing.
