Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth; And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.

  • MoA on the recently released national security strategy document in the US. No social reactionary brainworms in the past, no guarantees about comments.

    This aligns with a lot of the trends we've discussed in trump 2, tide going out on the EU, Taiwan, ukraine, and the eye of sauron focusing on the western hemisphere. I intend to read the underlying later and will post back.

  • we've talked generally about more conciliatory attitudes towards china from the trump regime lately. has this been reflected in 'freedom of navigation' transits between taiwan and china?

  • This kind of waffling is positive. Even if a more China hawkish administration follows trump, like the Biden nitwits, then this is a waste of 3-4 years. That's 3-4 years the empire can't afford.

  • How is it rigged? Relying only on pro-UA sources that say bakhmut is still holding out?

  • I wonder what asterisks are applied to the $35k unit cost. I don't believe the US military industrial complex could produce anything that cheap.

  • Supergiant is better about this, their voice actors are staff positions rather than contract. That's part of why there is such extensive voiceover and story content in Hades, and why they've kept adding more

  • hot damn, I need to get on this with lion's manes. I have a little grow kit in a box on the go and they're very tasty, but I'm not very sophisticated about my setup. do you have any pictures you can share? how do you pasteurize your substrate?

  • in general I agree. the specific person I'm thinking grew up in ukraine before moving abroad. I think they have a real blind spot with respect to their country's politics and the nefarious role of NATO, so I try not to give them reasons to discard analysis.

  • My favorite are the "well, this country's tank/jet/IFV/whatever is better than that country's" discussions

    100%. in the past my child has enjoyed a book series called 'who would win' pitting different random animals against one another. fun books because my child is young, not an adult military analyst. another thing those dumbass arguments reminds me of is 'fox only, final destination, no items'.

    a sort of opposite article that barely spends any time on military gear but all on logistics and politics associated with the military is this one by aurelien, some nakedcapitalism commenter that started his own thing around 2022. he purports to have some UK based diplomacy experience 30 or so years ago. sometimes there's some chuddishness in his writing but not that often.

  • Yes I agree, military stuff is pretty important in geopolitics but the nerds that get into the weeds are mostly right wing. I'm not aware of any leftists who regularly discuss this kind of thing with regularity outside of hexbear. radio war nerd sometimes but they seem more left amenable than anything.

    Anyway, I wanted to know who amerikanets is because 1) I'd like to know if they are reliable in the first place and 2) I'd like to know if this is a source that could be shared with pro-NATO libs in my life without giving them a tummy ache. the name amerikanets suggested no, and if they're also in the same part of the infosphere as RWA then I think no, regardless of how accurate anything they say is.

    I fully support discussion of this kind of thing on the comm, but I'd rather that 'posts of the week' focus on content generated by the community rather than turn into 'good articles of the week'.
