This is not about hate. It is about the choice between the power of the State vs the freedom of the individual. The 1st demands you do what youโ€™re told, the 2nd requires learning to co-exist with people you dont agree with. The Christian Right and MAGA have forgotten how to do the 2nd. Thatโ€™s all.

This will renew Project 2025 efforts to avoid elections altogether.

You advertise for people to join your team. Looks like you have been filling the vacancies with Russians. If you are genuinely Ukrainian patriots then you need more circumspection in your reporting and fewer propaganda sound bites.

QQโ€ฆ you dont think that it may be a UAF trap, do you? They have given ground in the town remarkably quickly given the effective counterattacking. It feels like they might be pulling the Rusian lines thin, and maybe getting the Russians to overcommit before hitting them hard in the supply line.

I went to an all-boys military boarding school in Scotland 45 years ago. I have has years of counselling and am currently engaged in the Scottish Child Abuse Enquiry related to the discipline in the school. Kids are kids, not robots, soldiers or empty vessels to be moulded.

The statement made here by Trump is what happens when a sociopath believes in free market economics above all things, including morality.

Impeach him. As soon as possible. If there are mid-terms, and the democrats sweep the floor, then he should be removed. Even if he canโ€™t be, he should be made to know that his legacy will be to be vilified throughout future US historical reference.

Wow. This is huge news about the state of the Russian economy. They have admitted that no financial investors will touch the rouble, that they are desperate for cash and its so bad that they have handed their future to China. It could be less than 3 mths til they collapse?

Money is the cancer in US politics. When it is removed then democracy might survive.

You forgot their third enemyโ€ฆ themselves. This is no longer just about Demsโ€ฆ this is the difference between right and wrong. Politics is now a distraction.

Give the hungry their meals (preferably with a copy of The Grapes of Wrath tucked alongside!), then go to the politicians and demand answers.

I dont disagree, but sorting corporate greed is a multi-decade challenge.

Families need real help now. SNAP provides that help, so get onto fixing SNAP delivery befoer starting to attack the corporations

Deal with the big questions once you have dealt with the crisis. Otherwise it is just a distraction and an excuse

How about distributing 250m copies of The Grapes of Wrath? If only to warn everyone whatโ€™s coming.

Bingo! They get us to a point where we say โ€œplease, only take the other guysโ€ and theyโ€™ve successfully divided us, separated out the weak and removed all support for them.

And yet Vance and the whole of this racist, misogynist, corrupt crew will be out in the build up to the mid-terms trying to play down their abject hatred of anything non-white and not their version of โ€christianโ€ (deliberate use of lower case!).

Tick tock, tick tockโ€ฆ Which clock is louder? A discontented military, whose senior (currupt) generals know that after the war comes the purge? Or the economy which is built to feed off a war they cant afford and cant win? Tick tock.

โ€ฆsee why you are so intent on seeking to discredit me other than the fact that your opinion was discounted.

Wrong. I disagreed based on personal contact information that is difficult to substantiate via the www. Not being a China specialist myself, I was unaware that the Lao Bai is a sarcastic reference (I think) to the Lao Genbu.. which can be found if you use ChatGPT but which you dont trust. I dontโ€ฆ

That doesnโ€™t detract from the quality of the book, merely the breadth of its readership and the quality of its publisher.

It appears you are just annoyed that I disagreed with your post a while back because I had information that China was starting to pull back on its support for Russia.

Nevermindโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve tried to be human here. It takes a German mind to only see a robot I think. (British humour, no need to respond).

Was writing cheques that the German economy could not cash. This is a reasonable argument as to why the invasion of Russia happened in the first placeโ€ฆ to gain resources required to balance the economy. That puts economic failure as being visible as early as 1938โ€ฆ and possibly military failure too.

Uninformed by the economics that Hitler had been made aware of by his economists and key industrialists. This is why the book opens with von Clauswitz and a close understanding of the political and economic behind warfare. It is also well argued that after Austria, Hitler was being made aware heโ€ฆ

True that this is a relatively unusual perspective for Fritz to have taken, but he does so as an explanation as to why his battles with his generals were not simply temper tantrums (as some would suggest). Instead they reflect the fact that the purely military viewpoints of the generals wereโ€ฆ

Noโ€ฆ but ChatGPT 5.0 has pretty much ingested the whole of the www and therefore HAS looked in all of the corners. If it is out there then ChatGPT will find itโ€ฆ the problem is that it isnโ€™t intelligent enough to know good info from bad, and its algorithms seek to answer rather than say โ€œI dont knowโ€

Did you look that up? Or are you holding the book in your hand that states he is a US Professor living in Tennessee and author of 3 books on the subject matter? (I amโ€ฆ ISBN: 978-0-300-25146-3).

This subject is one of my passions for the last 45+ years, and this book is one of the better ones.

You still have to do your homework and be less lazyโ€ฆ just as you called me out for. If you look up militaryanalyst then youโ€™ll see many of my postsโ€ฆ it being a fairly select group doesnt fit the profile of me being a disinfo bot. My comments have 1 bias: anti-Russian invasion. Maybe 2: anti-Trump.

Not in this instanceโ€ฆ this is off the back of a post I made relating to intel given to me by a China specialist intel officer. Turns out it is very difficult to verify on the web because the Chinese elite dont let anything out about them on the web.
