About American exceptionalism

How ‘the mother of all bubbles’ will pop

But every hero has a fatal flaw. America’s is its sharply increasing addiction to government debt. My calculations suggest it now takes nearly $2 of new government debt to generate an additional $1 of US GDP growth — a 50 per cent increase on just five years ago. If any other country were spending this way, investors would be fleeing, but for now, they think America can get away with anything, as the world’s leading economy and issuer of the reserve currency.

US Congress Revives Cold War Tactics With New Anti-Communism School Curriculum

If the Russians didn't have nuclear weapons ....

Admiral Bauer complained that if Russia did not have nuclear weapons, NATO would have attacked Russia long ago.

Well, it is actually a secret of Polichinel - if we did not have nuclear weapons, the U.S. and NATO would have attacked us long ago. It is the nuclear shield, which in its time was created under Stalin and brought to completion under subsequent leaders, is the main defense of the country and the people from Western aggressors who want to plunder our country once again, as it was in the 90s.

In general, thanks to Stalin, Beria, Kurchatov and all those who from the 40s until today, who forged and updated our nuclear shield.

Pentagon Hypersonic Fail

However, the very fact that the US is seriously considering the recycling of the ARRW program that was already canceled twice due to excessive costs, unreliability, repeated test failures, lack of progress in improving the design, etc. is very telling. As all other programs failed, the US is now desperate to at least match previously mentioned regional powers such as North Korea and Iran. What's more, the latter very likely also gave its hypersonic missiles to allies in the Middle East (specifically in Yemen), making America's embarrassment all the worse.

A great dive into the harrowing tale of how the US army employed meatwave tactics from World War II through Vietnam. The army implemented Individual Replacement System with a callous disregard for the lives of their own soldiers, resulting in the average life expectancy of a US rifleman in WW2 being just 7-10 days. The system also created a lack of unit cohesion, as soldiers were constantly being rotated in and out of units.

So that's where the tales of the Red Army's meat assaults come from. As always, what the Anglo-Saxons do is blamed on Russia. This also includes the myth of millions of raped Germans by the Red Army. A long time ago I read in some Spanish publication (unfortunately I lost the link) about mass rapes of European women by American soldiers during WWII.

..."Control of the interview changed abruptly when #Harris called out #Trump for referring to the “enemy within” and talking about using the #American military against those he considers enemies. #Baier used that opportunity to show a clip of Trump saying he wasn’t threatening anyone, but the clip was edited to remove his threats against “sick,” “evil,” “dangerous” “Marxists and communists and fascists” including Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) and “the Pelosis”—presumably former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and her husband, who was attacked in 2022 by a man with a hammer who wanted to force Nancy Pelosi to renounce the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign’s ties to Russia..

Harris had had enough #propaganda.

“Bret, I'm sorry, and with all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about the enemy within that he has repeated when he’s speaking about the American people. That's not what you just showed…. You and I both know that he’s talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him. This is a democracy. And in a democracy, the president of the United States in the United States of America should be… able to handle criticism without saying he’d lock people up for doing it. And this is what is at stake, which is why you have someone like the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff saying what Mark Milley has said about Donald Trump being a threat to the United States of America.”

Simply by going on the right-wing network, Harris was demonstrating dominance. Then, by answering as thoroughly as she did, she undercut the right-wing narrative that she is stupid and inarticulate. By calling out the FNC for deliberately misleading its viewers, she took command. Baier, rather than Harris, was the one doing the post-interview spinning.

Writer Peter Wehner, who worked for presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush, wrote: “Bret Baier has rarely looked as bad (or tendentious) as he did in his interview with Kamala Harris. On the flip side, this was one of her best interviews. She dominated Bret. All in all it was quite a bad day for MAGA world's most important media outlet.”...

On the decline of empire, with historical parallels

The grand experiment that began in 1776 will come to an end, as all once-great nations do. The US will continue to exist, but as a shadow of its former self, in the manner of the failed empires before it.

#ICC / The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed an International Criminal Court complaint against 1000+ Israeli soldiers for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Says complaint includes 8000+ pieces of evidence demonstrating soldiers' "direct involvement in these atrocities."

A significant legal action taken against Israeli military personnel for alleged war crimes in Gaza. A Belgium-based group, the Hind Rajab Foundation, filed a complaint with the #ICC against 1,000 Israeli soldiers. The foundation states it is pursuing additional complaints at national and international levels.

The complaint accuses these soldiers of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza during Israel's military operations. The foundation claims to have over 8,000 pieces of evidence, including videos, audio recordings, and forensic reports.

Alleged crimes include destruction of civilian infrastructure, illegal occupation and looting, enforcing a blockade, targeting civilians, and using inhumane warfare tactics.

The complaint identifies soldiers from various nationalities, including #American, #French, #Canadian, #British, and #Dutch.

The action is described as the largest complaint ever submitted to the ICC and aims to establish a historical record for accountability. It coincides with #Israel's ongoing military actions in #Gaza and other regional escalations.
