This is your brain on “importing the current conflict”. Step 1 is 🇦🇷 either developing a technology they don’t have, or licensing it from a pariah state while maintianing 🇺🇸 support. Step 2 is developing an industry to manufacture the drones at scale they don’t have.

My favourite is the letter to his son furious that CS Lewis still didn’t understand that Franco was the good guy. He wrote the letter in 1944.

I am begging progressives to: 1. Understand that fiction books are not reality; and 2. Actually read books besides Harry Potter, especially if you are citing them for a point. Because any book written before 1960 probably doesn’t mean what you think it does.

As promised, here's my audit of Oryx's equipment loss tracking. Oryx is well touted by institutional and mainstream media sources for an independent and open source verifiable low end accounting of equipment losses in the Ukraine War.

The British Army has 219 generals (or equivalents) and 213 tanks. The UK’s conservatives have not conserved Britain’s fighting power.

I've been looking into a potential Venezuela/Guyana conflict, and here's the preliminary assessment: 1. The region is incredibly underdeveloped. The Esequiba region's population density is 0.8 people per sq km and about 0.4 in the interior. Mongolia's population density is 2!

Fun fact: there are two memorials to the 14th SS division outside of Ukraine. They are both in Canada.

This is part of what I’ve termed Schrödinger’s Russian Army: They’re pathetically incompetent, which you can tell from how badly they fought in Ukraine, but they’re also on the verge of rolling through Berlin and Paris. Logically those can’t both be true.

Have you noticed all these WW1 myths portray the old aristocratic order of Europe as inept and callous? Have you also noticed the myths mostly sprung up in the 1960s when the Christian moral code of that old order was under attack? I wonder if that's somehow connected? 🤔🤔🤔
