No serious discussion of English history can be had without pointing out that uniquely among the European great powers, they only had peer enemies to their southeast.

In the early Bush era (where a lot of people of Noah's generation are stuck), American Muslims lurched left due to Iraq and Afghanistan, after being a right-leaning constituency in the 90s. This may be changing, but Noah hasn't updated his software.

Well, hopefully this episode of mask-off moneyed asshole behaviour will disabuse them of this notion.

Pretty strange that a left of centre party is floundering while the rich are behaving more monstrously than at any other time within living memory.

Invasion of Venezuela.

Considering it's Bush Jr. who built the tyranny machine (sometimes known as DHS) which now Trump uses, I'm not sure America needs this mutant clan to surface ever again.

Last September, when he said "schwerpunkt" in the explanatory video about the Kursk offensive, every vatnik on the other site instantly shat their pants. It was glorious.

No such innovation could have come from a career military man. It took a magician in uniform.

I'm reminded of that one time when Montgomery tasked one of his officers who'd been a magician in civilian life with helping misdirect Rommel and the man invented decoy tanks (trucks covered in cardboard cutouts of tanks).

The freaks in Washington genuinely believe that small* countries have no agency.

*Ukraine is a massive country, but to them, everything that's not Russia, China or America is small.

"If you hit the extortionist, he'll perceive it as escalation. Better to just pay the extortion money."

Recall that Turkey shot a Russian fighter jet, killing the pilot in the process and the Russians did buttfuck nothing about it because that's the language they understand.
Europe must learn the language of mafia if it's to deal with Russia. "You fuck up once, you lose two teeth."

Western talk about escalation is always marred by a failure to understand that Russia is less a state and more a mafia cosplaying as a state. They perceive lack of escalation as weakness, but retaliation intimidates them into backing down.

In the same book, he levels a (fairly accurate) accusation that many socialists aren't motivated by a desire to help the poor as much as a desire to injure the rich.
Although I've got to admit that after Musk's stunts this last year, I've grown to agree with the socialists of Orwell's time.

"When preparing for campaign, betray your generals." - Sun Tzu (Trump/Hegseth version).

I love how it's impossible to tell whether OP is a Q-anon believing MAGA or a Hasan Piker listener from just the text of the delusion itself.
