Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Thanks, Navigator.

I guess the logical f/u question would be, if and when Xi surrounds himself with "Yes" men, and attacks Taiwan, and eventually realizes he can't win, will he accept defeat, or will he resort to nukes, and if he does, will his people follow through on his orders? I know you don't ...

Re: Venezuela


The take-out of Maduro makes great TV, but, unfortunately, resolving the situation in the US's favor will be complex.

Any dictator puts echelons of cronies in power below them. Just taking out the dictator does not take away the power these people have. Plus, they and their supporters are usually ...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

The leftists have gotten onto something very effective, but very dangerous. In a country with freedom of speech, extremist exhortations which most people understand comes from speakers given to hyperbole, will, by a very few, be misunderstood as literal.

march for free speech in London

This is encouraging. I almost can't believe the government didn't try to stop them:

Re: Polyticks: Bob Butler's Perspective

Trying to please everyone is a fool's errand.
Trying to please the people who voted you into office is the best way to stay in control.
He's doing a pretty damned spectacular job of that.

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

I can't help but think that the average "Russian on the street" feels that he has much more in common with the West than with China. Ditto the average "Indian on the street." And even the average "Iranian on the street." Who knows what that's worth, but it's got to be worth something.
