The catholic church's response to clerical child abuse did it for me.

OK! Then Herschel could do North Korea. 😀

What are they saying the problem is?

Syria needs a new US ambassador 😂

Sorry one final point - the photo of the MG team on the left is a Finnish MMG team. They are not Soviet soldiers.

I also wrote an article on the relationship between Finland and Germany during WWII.
IMO there is no single volume history in English which fully covers Finland in WWII.
The Winter War gets most attention but more Finns died fighting Russia later in 1941-44.

The 1971 book by Engel and Paananen is good if you can find it. There is an Osprey book with less text but good maps.
I wrote articles on the 1944 Soviet offensive (Jatkosota). They are based on the Finnish official history, which is rarely covered in English.

I don't think Biden is evil and he is certainly not corrupt.
But he has made some bad decisions.
In both pardoning Hunter, and reneging on his original promise to seek one term in office, Biden has damaged himself more by not keeping his promise, than the decision itself.

Brad I hope you don't mind I posted another link to your slides. I think they are excellent 🙂 @delong.bsky.social

French naval analysts are also correctly pointing out that SSN AUKUS subs are more than twice the cost of the French subs we dropped because they were "too expensive". We are being suckered.

They can all play in the backyards of the quarter acre blocks their parents can no longer afford to buy.

And just to rub it in, the French have now delivered the third of their new nuclear subs. We could have switched from the diesel sub we were building to these for no financial penalty. This would save us $150B to $200B over the next 30 years.

I cannot let my wife see this photo (Or look at it myself for too long).
We already have seven cats, all adopted strays or from the shelter.

Thanks. Does anybody in US politics see the contradiction here?
On the one hand USA opposes Iran because it is run by an undemocratic muslim theocracy.
Yet now some in the USA want it to become a christian theocracy.
Read your Constitution. USA is not supposed to be a theocracy.
