  • in recent weeks as Ukrainian drone strikes bring the conflict to the Kremlin’s doorstep. Western agencies are convinced that Vladimir Putin will seek a pretext for some kind of provocation beyond Ukraine to divert Nato’s attention and test its resolve.

    How does that make sense? There is no test. For Nato this means full war. Nato will get air superiority and eliminate the Russian army. Since the beginning of the war Russia has threatened nuclear war if Nato gets involved more. It doesn’t make sense to force Nato to fight now and to create more pressure when they cannot handle the current pressure.

    Trump has made moronic decisions to appear normal but they are not normal outside of the US.




  • It got spanked by vietnamese farmers and the taliban.

    It’s another discussion but the Americans don’t need to win wars. Vietnam was about ending the gold standard and Afghanistan was an excuse to start the wars in the middle east, among other goals.

    On top of that, that’s because the “free hand of the market” de-prioritises engineering.

    The US have phones, search engines and AI. It’s Europe that is falling behind.

    That’s why BMW is getting spanked by BYD.

    That’s the point. The best engineers can either build tanks or weapons.

    Clearly, its a losing game to focus on that.

    That’s the big question. In the long term, how can the US keep their lead? Chinese and Indian companies will become the big players. How else but with a war can the US stay ahead?
