My Greenland prediction:
1.) The U.S. won't attack.
2.) It won't attack because it was stopped.
3.) It being stopped will be used to tar people urgent about it being stopped as hysterics

After a few days of looking through the identified victims of the massacre in Iran, what strikes me the most is how young they all are. Almost everyone is between 22 and 35 years old.

it is basically impossible to have a reasonable conversation about wwii and various counterfactual scenarios because nobody is actually arguing about the logistics of the red army but rather playfighting the 2016 primary instead

it's interesting to see criticism of stancil that basically amounts to "yes, he's doing good things in the real world, but don't lose sight of the fact that he's annoying online." please take a breath.

God he’s so fucking stupid.
Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

one thing i can't stand is people comparing proposed policy changes against an idealized world instead of the world we actually live in
it's like the inverse problem of criticizing real world policy changes because they don't achieve a full idealized world

Given that we are doing the starwar discourse again. The main issue that I have with TLJ is the major thematic dissonance between the plot and the themes that it trying to tell here.

There is no evidence that Marie Antoinette ever said "Let them eat cake", it is a misquote from a book about someone else written when she was still a child living in Austria.

People really don’t appreciate how radical the Revolution was for the time it took place. Openly declaring in the first sentence that “all men are created equal” is a very radical statement. It doesn’t seem so today, but it really was.
The radical liberalism of the American founders sets the basic template and ideals for virtually all subsequent radicalisms - everyone is trying to realize the ideals of 1776
Radical liberalism was the ideology of the abolitionists, and is in many ways is the bedrock on which the modern American liberal left is built more than anything else.

Aleksandr Dugin is perhaps the chief intellectual of Russian ultranationalism. He writes most of his essays on Telegram. His username: "AGDchan".
That's just "Dugin-chan", right? 4chan moron terminology? Or is there some deep, intellectual meaning to "chan" I'm unaware of?
