Unfortunately that mindset literally died with the people who lived by it.
Their offspring, a bunch of entitled, narcissistic real estate investors and tech ‘gurus’ are exploiting and dismantling the fruits of their forefathers sacrifice as if it were a liquid asset belonging to a defunct factory

Today is my dogs 12th birthday.
We’ve bought her a big bag of frozen, skin on supermarket chicken. Which will be roasted until crispy, cooled and served throughout the day.
Best possible present for a labour.

Braun & Gillette are doing a roaring trade in downtown Tehran ATM.

It kind of always has been the ‘arrangement’.
German Torus missile is the embodiment of that policy.
Designed to reach and penetrate the ‘offending’ command centre & units without nuclear escalation.
Mutually assured destruction of the unit that fires it without destroying the world.

Call me naive, but I’ve always felt that the US corrupted the western alliance.
Europe + is far from perfect but the US has always dominated & abused the moral cover of ‘freedom & democracy’ for corporate gain & greed.
We can have a more ethical & consistent foreign policy without them.

Considering the brazen nature of the attack, the prospect of ‘black hawk down’ scenario x10 with man pads and the fact that apparently only the Cubans fought back + the exclusion of Machado
What do you think of rumours that this was a setup between Trump and Rodriguez?

I can imagine Peter Thiel on the phone to to Vance:

Keep the **** out of this. If one of helicopters goes down or this ends up with boots on the ground it’s the end of Trump and you’re in!
January 6, 2026 at 9:09 AM
He’ll take a lower cut to avoid boots on the ground.
I can honestly see Venezuela resisting such an invasion with covert logistical help from its neighbours. Trump has threatened all of them.
January 5, 2026 at 9:57 PM
Venezuela does hold some pretty good cards. For now I can’t see a popular uprising against the regime, in fact the opposite seems the case ATM. A foreign attack can galvanise a sene of nationalism. They can offer Trump a deal they like or he faces the nightmare of deeper involvement.

Sounds like a zombie apocalypse where some of the zombies have guns.
Funny how they called themselves Z patriots!

@popovaprof.bsky.social apologies for steering this off topic.
Hopefully Venezuela will be a short lived story and a nail in the coffin of Putin’s global support network.

Well reasoned argument you have there. Very clever.
There are no liberators. Nor a force of the required size in the region.
They’re simply removing moduro and assuming the people will accept their puppet in waiting.
We’ll see…. But either way. Do not expect an Iraq style ground invasion
January 3, 2026 at 4:52 PM
Regardless of the wrongs or rights of the US action. For the analogy to work, the Venezuelan people would have to want to fight.
I think upcoming events will show the opposite.
I don’t think they want guns. They want a government of the people.
Ukraine definitely wanted guns! Lots of guns.
January 3, 2026 at 4:33 PM
I’m not sure that anyone that understands what an analogy is could try and draw one between Moduro & Zelenskyy.
January 3, 2026 at 4:29 PM
Because an attack can take different forms. The one thing they can do is launch missile strikes into Poland and maybe even UK infrastructure. What can we do in response other than token retaliation or total war? In reality it wouldn’t end well for them. But that hasn’t stopped them before
January 2, 2026 at 10:16 AM
I read how they had learned to use them in an appropriate role, almost as ‘snipers’ at a distance, keeping cover trees where possible to avoid drones. Plus now they have the fast jets to keep the Aligator helicopters at bay. Something they sorely missed in the southern offensive.
January 1, 2026 at 2:57 PM
I see. Though how could they deploy and sustain a meaningful force to threaten zaporizhzhia? Hopefully they can’t.
January 1, 2026 at 10:46 AM
That’s what ive been struggling to understand.
Russian advances seem to be achieved by slowly filtering men through areas of cover, like bombed out buildings and forests.
How will they cross open terrain without armour?
January 1, 2026 at 10:15 AM
I suppose the Ukrainians are merely human, and the old adage of not to suspect a conspiracy where things can be explained by incompetence.
A magazine of handgun rounds would have surely done the trick. Fingers crossed nothing bad was found.

Operation mincemeat

Yeah it’s crazy. Your English is top notch. But if you don’t mind me helping you out, in the UK we call those people “idiots” if you’ve middle class, or more commonly known as “c*nts” among the general population.

Only a week ago I was thinking what you’re thinking: that there’s no way he could actually be unaware of the situation. Must surely be ‘playing the players (lying generals)’… but no. I think he really is that detached and probably thinks he’s nipped the problem in the bud by eliminating this guy.

Beware The Dragon. Eric Durschmied. About how China has conducted 1000 years of conquest yet painted itself as the oppressed victim. It’s from 2008 but more relevant now than when written. Lots more to it than you’d imagine. Goes all the way from 13th century Europe. The mongols. To Taiwan.

Guess that clears up our previous conversation & questions on this issue!

Mentioning these goons & Bond reminds me of this:
