"There's nothing more practical than a good theory"
Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
So genuine question but after the Democratic party wallops the Republicans in the elections (and they will, just a matter of a sound win or a rout), like. What next lmao. Do we just. Not have a second party, effectively?
It's funny/not funny how passé it is now to even say "Remember when the GOP was the party of fiscal responsibility
Utterly unrelated but the idea of Astolfo and a Clauswitz portrait-person having an academic discussion is rather amusing. This is a sharp and continuing benefit of my habit of picturing avatars as the people behind the screen.
Which liberal states have empowered a man of action during the state of exception? There doesn’t seem to be a clear pattern of it happening, as Schmitt would predict. Democracies fail, sure, but not particularly because of some great crisis.
@krasnoviancommando.bsky.social Good to see you survived the rocket artillery strike on the brigade CP. Nice to have you back, genuinely.
>anywhere from six to almost twenty-four fucking divisions worth of personnel taken out of service depending on divisional size >two and change to almost fourteen divisions of dead people. At least to wikipedia, RuFed standing army is uh. 25, divisions, including airborne. Obv grain of salt but.
I'm trying to wrap my head around losing this many divisions worth of guys just in one year that isn't even half over.

my view is mostly from the civil defense space. in an ideal world the civil firearm is obsolete, but we very obviously dont live in the world with a high quality LE system. at that point the repeating long arm needs to be pretty compelling case by case to exist in civil hands.
Cold take. I hear this idea a lot, where people say "just put everything on a registry" but even if it were possible to register every single gun made I don't see how it would reduce crime. Getting rid of long guns in the US is about as realistic as eradicating mosquitos in a rainforest.
That's a very interesting threat analysis. I think the thing is mainly that you have to demonstrate willingness on that front though.
Depends entirely on how the war ends, but if we put a nato brigade in Ukraine, that puts the same question to the Russians. If they attack anyway, evidently they believe a conventional war can be fought between nuclear powers, and there’s little chance we could avoid such a war.
I know this is probably some awful internet specific mixture of insanity but think about risk/reward to maintain a grid of ragebait accounts comp to any other psyops campaign in history. Get progressives to leave in disgust, get conservatives an easy dunk on a "liberal". Assets are near zero risk...
New consideration: Psychological operations theory. Posting yassified young stalin feels... Edged with that sort of oddity, I guess. How would I discredit a movement?
"My enemies are an international league of pedophilic dictator-aspirants" should be a sentence that only makes sense in an absurd polemic media. Instead it does seem to be the truth of 2026.
Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/ct7GGV3
