🧵 Itä-Lontoon Limehousessa pidettiin joulukuussa 1904 poliittinen puhe. The Times lainasi sitä seuraavasti: "You are suffering from the unrestricted imports of cheaper goods. You are suffering also from the unrestricted immigration of the people who make these goods. (Loud and prolonged cheers.)"
Nyt kun Leninistä taas puhutaan, Jakov Mihailovitš Sverdlov on se taho joka mainitaan aivan liian harvoin puhuttaessa bolševikkien linjasta ja valinnoista tiellä lokakuun vallankumoukseen ja sisällissotaan. Kun Lenin, Stalin ja muut piileskelivät loppukesästä 1917, Sverdlov johti kuvioita. ⛓️/

Kun Sanna ja tytöt sai työllisyyden kaikkien aikojen ennätykseen jokaisesta pöntöstä nousi ekonomistisetä selittämään, että ne on ihan väärin työllistetty.

Nyt kun Orpo-pete ja Saksikäsi-ritu on tuhonneet sen työllisyyden samat sedät nousee pöntöistä kertomaan, että ne on ihan vääriä työttömiä.

On the Alaska talks:

Trump’s leverage over Ukraine, Russia and Europe has decreased since the spring and Ukraine is in a better position than back then, given their improved own industrial output thanks to the Danish model that many European countries are now implementing

Niemöller was a Nazi. He fought in the Freikorps. He was a willing participant in the Third Reich because he had sought and received assurances from Hitler himself that the Nazis would not go after Protestants. Then he ended up in a Camp. He was wrong. That’s why he wrote the poem.

Jewish people constituted 0.75% of the German population in 1933.
First they came for the socialists etc. What if they came for some really small marginalized group of people (0.05% of population), and because we tied ourselves in knots trying to keep everyone happy, we never got into power, and never achieved anything.

Jan Gotlib Blochin kuudessa osassa julkaistu elämäntyö Будущая война и её экономические последствия käännettiin Pariisissa englanniksi, ja julkaistiin nimellä "Is War Now Impossible?" v. 1898. Blochin kirja herätti aikansa maailmassa valtavaa kiinnostusta, ja sitä lukivat kadunmiehet ja hallitsijat.

It creates the persistent irony that as a research field, military history is stronger than it has ever been. *If* your department has a military historian, the mil-hist you get is much better than it was 20, 30 years ago.

But the chances in the 'if' dice roll haven't changed in decades.

14 years ago, while working at CENTCOM, I was asked to do a comparative analysis of the British failure at the Dardanelles to a potential Iranian closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

While my discussion of Iran’s capabilities is now outdated, the lessons I identified are still quite relevant (🧵) 1/n
BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament approves the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Decision needs ratified by Iran’s Security Council.

It would trap 20% of the world’s oil supply and send a catastrophic shock through the global economy.

Hi All, Just sent out this post on who matters and who does
not in judging whether Trump might change positions on Russia and Ukraine. Too much attention is being paid to those who do not matter. The inner core remains devoted to Putin and hates Ukraine. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Sunnuntain ratoksi muutama sana Ukrainaa edeltäneiden suursotien osapuolten kyvyistä ylläpitää armeijoidensa "henkilöstövahvuutta."

Ts. miten historian saatossa on onnistuttu pitämään miljoonia sotilaita aseissa ja mukana sodassa, vaikka sodassa on jo aiemmin kuollut tai haavoittunut miljoonia? /🧵

Muutama nosto Romanian vaaleista.
1. Kremlin kellokkaana toimineen entisen jalkapallohuligaanin ammoinen osallisuus unkarilaisen sotilashautuumaan häpäisyyn saattoi ratkaista nämä vaalit. Unkarilaisvastainen uho sai unkarilaisvähemmistön sankoin joukoin uurnille.

"Finland is very russian in a lot of ways," says MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk, attempting to justify why Finland shouldn’t have been accepted into NATO. Even Trump wouldn’t say that. This is the level of disinformation and ignorance we are dealing with

..a war for principle: is it possible to change borders and rules by force in the 21st century? And no matter how much we would like to hear words about “de-escalation” and “peaceful settlement”, it seems that it is still very early. This is a zero-sum equation: either Ukraine will remain or…
‼️🤔 Russia has invested too much in its military machine to simply stop.

Putin will not allow a million of his “SVO heroes” to return home – he will either “wipe” them out on the front to the last one, or transfer them to a new hot spot.

OTD in 1997 negotiations to end the 1st Chechen war began. as a result we promised to not use force, or the threat of force, “forever”.

2 years later we staged some false flags & invaded & killed over 100,000 civilians. So you can trust us in negotiations now.
