It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

“Swapping American dominance of the western hemisphere for Chinese dominance of east Asia would be the deal of the century. For China.”

like the cubs update the other day about who they didn’t sign, this is the preemptive version of “this guy is perfect, but they’re too cheap to function.”
considering their payroll is basically $40MM in 2027 and the FA market is gonna be weak, they really have no excuse OR path without spending now

Bo Bichette fits #Cubs perfectly, in all these neat little ways. He was a weird swing; the Cubs don't care and other teams will. He suits their positional needs and their need for flexibility. He's a great hitter.
So it's just that one thing.

Why Cubs Will Be Tied to Bo Bichette Until He Signs, But Probably Won't Sign Him
As the Cubs look for the big addition their offseason needs, Bo Bichette has become a tentative target for the team. However, only a perfect storm could blow him into the Windy City.

almost all of european history is misunderstood. knights were simply racketeering strong men. most kings paid danegeld because they were so weak. and globally they were at the bottom of wealth and power. Charlemagne couldn’t read. “western civ” is makeup garbage.
the one cool thing about OG feudalism which we should bring back in this version is the rich guys actually had to put on armor and go fight each other

the south is full of dumb guys. they happen to coach football too.
I don’t know why one of these teams didn’t just simply take and hold a multi touchdown lead like Indiana did
