Nate Silverâs on his bullshit again:
OTOH, the rest of the thread appears to be YIMBYesque âbuild more housingâ rather than my preferred âsmash the landlords and seize the underoccupied money-laundering condos and AirBNB microhotelsâ.
I like the way you put that.
As well as the usual issue of âthe Wehrmacht was destroyed by Zhukov and the Red Army, D-Day was a late-war diversionary attackâ, thereâs also the point that the German military fucking invented modern independent small unit tactics during WWI, and German noncoms tended to have greater independence then their Western equivalents rather than less.
Thereâs also the point that the American military were notably incompetent upon their entry to both world wars. Both times, they spent their initial phases fucking up and getting slaughtered before finally conceding that perhaps they should pay attention to the people whoâd already been fighting for years.
Letâs hear it for Clausewitz?
Iâd say anything without virtue isnât a harmless neighbor
Extradited to an openly torture-happy death penalty nation with a globally infamous farce of a âjusticeâ system, as punishment for committing a blatantly non-criminal act on the other side of the world.
Rule of law is a joke.
