biggest leftist podcast explaining that you shouldnt bother resisting republicans because theyll take your treats away is so on the nose youd think H Cilnton was writing their show notes.

One lucky French bomber hitting the panzers in Ardennes, choking up the narrow roads completely and they lose the war right there and then. the big scary Kyiv column kept getting bombed by Ukrainians which is why by the time it finally pulled up it wasn’t a surprise
So Hitler's position in 1940/1941 is not a good position ruined by foolish decisions, but in fact a deceptively weak position that is almost certainly doomed, leading to insane gambles that only make it worse.

The catastrophic mistake was having a war, a result of the worse mistake of being a Nazi.

It’s a stupid idea primarily because if Ukraine falls this won’t be enough. but European elites will do anything to avoid even remotely difficult decisions
The idea of a “drone wall,” while not without merit, misses the real shift of the past five years. The transformation is not drones themselves, but the democratization and miniaturization of the technologies that enable precision weapons, including FPV systems.

the first real tension between Bush and Putin happened a year prior to Georgia when the cyber attacks on Estonia began. If he had his way, they would have also been the first invasion point because they are even smaller and weaker than Georgia
this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

Putin thinks he does.
You dont need rumours of US intelligence for this stuff. He literally says that he wants this. also every country on the border knows this.

But also, Russia literally doesnt have the capacity for this

The Russian way of war in Ukraine shows that as long as you want, you can treat solders like slaves and they’ll just take it
wrote this week about a topic there's surprisingly little coverage of in the United States even in think tanks focused on the Chinese military: the everyday lives of Chinese soldiers.

Behind the parades, recruits face long deployments, strict rules, and limited opportunities.

You can at least justify your defense of Lenin as someone who didn’t know better and was fight a shit regime but Putin offers literally nothing but misery for anyone who isn’t in his circle. Russians today are more atomized and devoid of culture than soviets duri Brezhnev
This also makes the leftist defense of Russia even stupider because Putin explicitly referred to Lenin creating the ethnic republics within the USSR as his great mistake in the speech announcing the full scale invasion
Another fun implicit assumption from a lot of Russophiles, especially but not exclusively leftist ones, is that 1917 was a baptism that washed away all the sins of the Russian Empire so thoroughly that modern Russia should never have to reckon with them (even as they benefit from them)

the story is even funnier. Dallas Brodie is an insanely racist piece of shit but the crack up is happening over that Othman fellow - the weird Algerian-Canadian Nazi who has close ties to Trump - being hired by Armstrong. So Brodie is actually not racist enough for OneBC in this case.
There are two MLAs in OneBC, and this is one of them #bcpoli

1. get famous for avoiding opinions, just aggregating polls
2. decide that discovering 1 makes you a unique genuis at punditry
3. everyone else is stupid but not you

btw the really interesting thing is that every poll guy has this path. That Indian guy at Cal, the canadian kid, all Nates.
i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky.
what the fuck are you talking about man

The future of Canadian populism: a real estate heiress driven insane by YouTube into being a virulent racist and her new chief of staff is a loser YouTuber who couldn’t graduate high school because he’s too stupid.
This is the third wing BC party to disintegrate into an orgy of backstabbing and we have become exceedingly efficient at it

The Liberals swung hard left on elite left social ideas, but in terms of economics, the Trudeau government mostly slept for 10 years until the housing crisis destroyed it.

Whomever can present the most compelling answer to how an average Canadian 30 year old can buy a home wins. thats it
Honestly the Liberals had swung pretty hard left and eaten the NDP's lunch while leaving the *entire* right to the Conservatives.

This is an opportunity to retake the centre and go back to being the "socially progressive (mostly) and fiscally conservative (kinda)" party.
Mark Carney's grand bargain with Alberta wasn't popular with climate activists, but it's a much different story with the broader public.

Why it's part of his push to return the Liberals to their former position on the political spectrum. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/12/o...

so many Fox Grandpas who were scammed to over pay for gold and silver are actually making out like bandits right now as Trump sinks the dollar. amazing stuff.

Bill Clinton thought continues to be 100 percent vindicated
What I also found notable is how rural areas are still monstrous with turnout while preserving a relative R edge, and that the biggest enthusiasm source by Dems continues to be urban areas in particular.

Makes you wonder if Dems should actively message in cities more.

same reason why its not news that the world's richest guy is a white nationalist leading a lesser James Bond villain lifestyle - the press loves this shit and enjoys owning the libs as much as the nazis.
"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

a conservative buisness aligned pol uses rabid nationalism to prop herself up to rob her state blind only to become eaten by rabid nationalism? wow, never seen this before!

his actual gamble is that he looks like hes doing something, while killing Trudeaus two pet favourites that the median Canadian has completely turned on (FN and environmentalism).

There is a more extremely pro-Carney view that reviving the NDP is a plus for him because theyll still PP blue collars
Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

its why her profile of Biden was so vicious - its not just like every other press hack they hate Democarts but she specifically was turbo-furious that he turned her down

The real Q is who else at the New Yorker leadership knew a sexual deviant was driving their coverage?
at this point the null hypothesis is "nuzzi has fucked every source she has ever had"
See I thought when her place of employ fired her for sleeping with her source and not telling them meant that it was serial conduct which they had caught before and just like didn't tell anyone
November 18, 2025 at 6:28 PM
Like everyone else in DC their ideal is democrats actually run things and they rage farm and steal car dealer donos. No one actually wants or knows how to work
it's interesting that the intellectual wing of the New Right basically sees Trump as incapable of bringing about the national revolution they were hoping for

Pierre doesnt want to give up his lucrative job of robbing Linda Frum and Shopify C-suite blind of their CPC donations. As Scheers pathetic post leader 'career' shows, its pretty bleak for right wing losers.

The Teamsters president is demanding Democrats bend the knee after Sanders and Biden bent over backwards for these animals.

there is obviously some behind the scenes financial shit going on with the Nazi tattoo guy- way too many groupchat in groups are running to set themselves on fire for a guy no one heard 2 months ago
Why the fuck are so may people burning their credibility over this guy?
