“Shared values”

A response to Peter Heussey’s, September 29. article in The National Interest, “The Nuclear Balance is Changing- and Not for the Better” *

The US proclivity to entertain the use of nuclear weapons when its conventional military campaign is in jeopardy…[Read more]

Alexander is wrong about Kishida, imo. He is only a figurehead or puppet who serves for purposes of deception internally and externally. He has virtually no real supporters in his own cabinet. The conservative factions control the ministries, and they also control the LDP policy apparatus. There will be no real change in Japanese foreign…[Read more]

could easily top the PLAAFs 159 flights in the region over two days earlier this month. when you count the aircraft on each ship, there are probably a total of 140 aircraft. Then there are the additional aircraft on the two smaller carriers from the UK and Japan. Then there are the 18 fighter aircraft reportedly embarked on the HMS Queen…[Read more]

I think there is a cascade effect once delivery times, unloading schedules and pick up schedules are missed. While the national driver shortage is spread over the entire country, the LA port for example is a major choke point. If they don’t have enough dock workers, crane operators and yard dogs to move the containers to available staging yards…[Read more]

@janboehmermann

he’s clueless. next he’ll either be leading the beer hall putsch, or running for Congress. Appearing in uniform wearing the uniform while criticizing his superiors in a matter which ultimately involves civilian control of the military. He’s a prototypical fascist.

but no one really wants new drivers, except a small number of companies that specialize in hiring new drivers and training them, and pay them very low rates, the lowest in the industry. Such drivers require a lot of training and handling by experienced driver trainers and dispatchers, and have higher accident rates, and lower on time delivery…[Read more]

Military police and prosecutors in general are people I would never trust. Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations, indeed.

I don’t see any “daylight” between Trump policies and Biden policies concerning China. The only difference, I think, was that Trump’s group understood that you can’t drive both Russia and China into the corner at the same time, and that US military resources are waster in other theaters. Nixon is right of course when he says “Americans have…no…[Read more]

There aren’t enough drivers, so I don’t see how that works, either.

I had to search hard to find this again, as youtube tries to hide videos.

“The argument, when reduced to its simplest form, was
clear, it was precise, it was easy to grasp. There are Westerners, and there are Orientals. The
former dominate; the latter must be dominated, which usually means having their land occupied,
their internal affairs rigidly controlled, their blood and treasure put at the disposal of one…[Read more]

I prefer the hand on the cave wall. Her approach is so mechanical. To me Andy Warhol is politics promoted art. His art is corporate, brand art.

Nevertheless it’s a great discussion. I wish Shatner didn’t cut her off so much. I’m more partial to his view, but I wanted to hear more.

This is the kind of structural corruption that Bill Black used to talk about. You can’t convict someone because it’s all legal. (I think it’s 4000 percent.)

But this seems right up Garland’s alley. I don’t see him as one to challenge the official national security pitch on Assange. Vanita Gupta could embarrass the DOJ if she resigned over something like this, but I imagine that her bailiwick is civil rights in particular with the respect to minority rights, voting rights, and the like, rather than…[Read more]

The “rules based order.” “Shared values.” LOL.
