In the spirit of promoting more Canadian mili thought and history, some book recommendations! First up, this one (surprisingly available in the UK too)! An examination of a Canadian victory which I believe has more lessons to teach than Vimy Ridge- covering everything from staff work to logistics.

While I have yet to read this, I have to say, what an awesome cover for a white paper

just building on this thread shitting on RFK, the mosfet, the literal foundation upon which all modern electronics (particularly computers) is built, was invented by an egyptian guy named mohamed atalla en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed...

I see RFK's been reading Armies Of Sand. For Christ's sake keep him out of the West Point library before he finds Why Arabs Lose Wars.

Its not just about social media mobilization but party politics. The centre-right was vaporized by Bolsonarism's extreme right. The most important turnaround was in Sao Paulo and in Rio de Janeiro states. Here, old school politics by Lula's VP and former SP governor) Alckmin was important.

If anything comes of this, it may well be the most impactful policy of Carney's entire tenure as PM. Few things could be more transformative for the constitutional order than a new law to supplant the Indian Act as the basis for the relationship between the Canadian government and the First Nations.

Afghanistan is one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been to and it kills me that people only know it from what they see on the news.

It's well-documented that the president maintained a years-long friendship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker. It might strike you as odd there aren't direct allegations of Trump engaging in child sex trafficking.. except there are. There are SO MANY. They just never get reported!

My latest: on the history and future of the tank on the battlefield. “Survivability, like attritability, is in the eye of the commander, after all. It’s all about what it buys you in your engagement, battle, and campaign in the aggregate.” open.substack.com/pub/breaking...

🚨🗞Today's Insight Monitor is out, and we're looking at how Canada's financial intelligence unit is performing. A few standout points of data include more sanctions cases, and a resurgence of terrorist financing disclosures. Read to learn more: newsletter.insightthreatintel.com/p/reviewing-...

Not even 5% of votes have been counted. Let’s calm down…it will be a long night especially after so much voter suppression in Salvador, São Paulo and other Lula-supporting areas.

A bunch of Bolsonaro government people tried to rig the vote by among other things cutting off public transport. However the electoral Court responded by extending voting hours. Early results say it will be close but the few completed municipalities are in line with a Lula win!

Absolutely maddening to see the corruption in real time and then also see BlueAnon losers in the replies trivialize it by pretending the same thing is going to happen here "but worse"

we're getting the gang back together

The UK is really going pretty hard on medical survival/dispersal

“I can’t remember the time before Vučić, I was eight when he came to power, but I hope I won’t remember him either in a few years,” said Marko Radojevic, a student from Novi Sad.

Vucic concedes defeat. The true scale of the Student List victory remains to be seen — but this a political earthquake for the Western Balkans. Sincere congratulations to the citizens of Serbia who held out hope against hope and mobilized in extraordinary numbers.

I do not at foreclose the possibility of various sorts of political shenanigans even after Vucic’s concession but this extraordinary result in Serbia is what happens when people show up: in the streets, at the ballot box. That’s the lesson. If you care about democracy, show up.

Today, Algerian parliament voted in favor of deploying Algerian military to Niger, allegedly to defend oil facilities some of which are jointly operated by Algerian state companies. Again, unprecented, even if scope is limited,we will see where exactly they will station.

Anti-foreigner but leftistly

Karak attackers remain at large two days after the attack. Worrying is an understatement. Suggest Jordan may have overlooked the existence of a large network with local support, which in the case of Jordan would be nothing new but it's been many years jiahdists openly threatened the state.

When essentials are cheap, there is no reason to care about how and why that is so. I joke the the strongest YIMBY groups are all from the most diseased markets, because that’s why you really have to get your shit together.

I’m hearing from my sources that David Eby went to the Oracle of Delphi and was told ”If you call an election, a majority government will be returned.”

I think more Americans need to understand that their built environment is regulated by the groupthink of unaccountable organizations whose members think the sky is a different color abroad.

This is one of the larger left-of-center Facebook pages, and I do feel like a few years ago, left-of-center people on social media with large audiences were not using terms like “goyslop”?

Some words from me in the @theipaper.com this weekend. My last trip to Kyiv highlighted the critical importance of anti-ballistic missile systems and civil defence, both of which the UK badly lacks. Most importantly, I highlight the critical necessity of continuing to support Ukraine.

When I want comment on armored warfare I think COIN guy
