  • Everyone in the lead up to the Russian invasion thought Russia had a world class army (besides some analysts like Philips O’Brien). Three day invasion is how many western analysts were spinning it (Michael Koffman is the one I remember talking about this). I think it is a stretch to believe that the Chinese military is any better, especially since their last fight was, what, in the 70s against Vietnam?

    Ukraine doesn’t have a giant moat around it. Taiwan does. Amphibious warfare is much much much harder than land based war. Probably by like 2 orders of magnitude at least. Keeping an army supplied in that environment is very very hard and that was before drones made defense warfare extremely effective. The US stopped supplying weapons to Ukraine for a few months last year and they held the line quite well just with their drones.








  • Better yet, let the migrants stay because they enrich our communities and are human beings just like you and me.

    We could also enforce our labor laws uniformly and allow everyone to come and stay here if they wish. Give the migrants normal wages, while removing the stick of ICE that allows employers to abuse their undocumented labor force. Employers love ICE because ICE becomes enforcers if the labor force starts to get uppity.

    You are scapegoating the wrong people. The real enemies are the people destroying our planet for illusory “profits” which won’t matter at all when the ecosystem collapses. Also, I don’t want a reply from a fucking fascist so don’t bother.
