NATO is the most successful defensive military alliance in history. A NATO member has never been attacked by a non-NATO state. And no NATO member has attacked another member. Youβre basically invulnerable when youβre in the club and thatβs why Russia objects to its neighbors joining.17 points

I forget who posted this a while ago, but some Surly poster said either he or a friend bought out a Russian immigrantβs car repair shop. He noted that the Russian owner had terrible customer service as he was always trying to overcharge and cheat people. That poster made the observation that the Russian came from a society where if you werenβt fucking somebody, they were fucking you. He simply had no understanding of how there could be a cooperative relationship between an owner not screwing you and customers not screwing the owner. The concept of mutually beneficial without theft or threats was alien to him. That sounds like the micro and macro cultural result.11 points

Went to the Austin Music Awards tonight -- my daughter's band was nominated in 3 categories, Best New Act, Best Punk Band, Best Residency. They swept it. Holy fuck. It's pretty hard to not engage in Proud Dad persona at t his point. Thanks to all who voted for them, ultimately it doesn't mean much, but their live set at the awards ceremony absolutely melted a lot of faces, the buzz was phenomenal. This is what parents should want for their kids -- find your own way and crush it. (Now I just want my daughter to finish her bachelor's degree at UT because this whole rock band thing is becoming a distraction.)11 points

The only reason to believe it came from anywhere other than the lab in Wuhan is because you just don't want to admit it for ...reasons?? I'm really not sure why anyone would choose to believe otherwise, especially the "trust the science" people. the most likely cause has always been human error at the lab in Wuhan. I am not suggesting it was used as germ warfare as I don't believe that at all. But somebody at that lab fucked up and it changed the world forever.11 points

Itβs so hard because I really donβt have enough of a crystal ball to predict what comes next except to say that itβs just gonna be a fucking wreck, socially and psychologically and economically. I donβt believe that we failed to support democratic institutions in Russia, thatβs a two way street and Russia got every chance it deserved. There has to be a will there. So my first lesson would be for us to stay true to our values and move quickly to consolidate the security of those countries that want to jump at the chance to leave Russiaβs orbit. If we went wrong, it was in allowing any sort of confusion over whether or not these new states got to chart their own path. We need to center the aspirations of everything that isnβt Russia. Second, Iβd say to remember that the fracture of the nuclear armed Soviet Union was at least as unthinkable as the fracture of the Russian Federation. But we got through it. So let the process shake out in Russia and donβt act like Russia in its current borders is some indispensable nation. We can manage a controlled dissolution if it comes to that, and we donβt need to give whoever sits in the Kremlin the luxury of viewing himself as a necessity. Be ready to help prevent a humanitarian disaster but make it clear that whatever βRussiaβ comes next, it will have to survive based on the consent of the governed and not with any propping up from us. Third, get our own houses in order and use the respite gained by the collapse of Russia as an alternative partner to really lean on the assholes who are backsliding while in Western institutions. The lack of a viable Eastern option but China will do wonders, and Russia skillfully exploits corrupt pathways and uncommitted democrats to give itself breathing space. Orban should be target number one once we have breathing space and his buddy is gone. And the toughest part is making sure we are improving ourselves and making our own society a soft empire built on on mutual attraction and consent. Strong democracy at home is key to our national security.9 points

I think the most telling part of that Meduza article is that it just never crosses Putin's mind that there can be a mutually beneficial relationship between nations. There is only the conqueror or the vanquished. So there he sits, for decades watching countries all around him do it. He's had plenty of opportunity to have people who've done it tell him how it's done. But he's completely unable to do it. He's like a eunuch ruler. He sits there watching it happen all day long, but can't do it himself. That's no way to go through life, son.9 points

Interesting article Meduza put out in their weekend report. From a Russian Sociologist about Putin and Russian mindset. Interesting and depressing in his discussion of Putin and Russian mindset, which is very different from how we view the world/war/future. Net is Putin will never stop (in Ukraine and in wanting to invade other Eastern European countries), and that the Russian people's mindset is to eat a shit sandwich from whatever dictator/tyrant they have and to blame everyone else for their misery. Putin will continue forward as he thinks the war has long been going on for Russia to gain its ascendancy and that means invading NATO countries he believes are rightfully Russian once he is done with Ukraine. https://meduza.io/en/feature/2023/02/25/russia-ends-nowhere-they-say?utm_source=email&utm_medium=briefly&utm_campaign=2023-02-259 points

You're the second person who has said he got fired for wanting to drop bombs on Korea. He wanted to drop bombs on China, to destroy their supply lines, kill their reinforcements to the battle field, and to deter them from supporting North Korean forces. After the Inchon amphibious assault, US forces basically threw back North Korean soldiers and were on the verge of a complete military conquest of the Korean peninsula. China had given warnings this was unacceptable, but they were pretty much dismissed as idle threats. The Chinese launched a counteroffensive in late October/early November that was ineffective, then in late November 120,000 Chinese troops snuck across the border undetected and inflicted a huge defeat on the heavily outnumbered UN/US troops in the Chosin reservoir. If anyone reading this is someone unfamiliar with what US soldiers endured breaking out of that encirclement in extreme weather conditions to reach evacuation in the port of Hungnam, I hope you educate yourself. It's one of the bravest military operations IMO undergone in US history. If you (the general you) are familiar, that makes me happy, because it's not called The Forgotten War for nothing. In any case. Barry Goldwater's nuclear rhetoric was noteworthy enough it inspired what many consider the most effective and damning TV political ad ever produced, the so called Daisy ad. Of course, LBJ would have to choose not to run for president in 1968 because he was too toxic due to the US involvement in Vietnam. It reminds me a little of Woodrow Wilson campaigning on keeping us out of war, or FDR emphasizing the importance of keeping US troops out of the global conflict that had emerged in 1940. In any case, there were substantial conversations around first strike capabilities in the event of war with the Soviet Union, which is the chief contributor to the nuclear arms race by both sides (see Dr. Strangelove the movie). To say that the US has never engaged in rhetoric surrounding the use of nuclear weapons is false, and as others have pointed out, it's commonly trotted out by keyboard warriors who don't have a great concept of what is actually at stake. But in terms of prominent officials, other than Reagan's poorly timed joke, "we begin bombing in 5 minutes" on an open mic, I don't recall any references to it by officials in positions of significant power for the last 60 years. What Putin and Russia have done in terms of threatening the use of nuclear weapons over the course of the Ukrainian War has been unprecedented and extraordinarily dangerous. But IMO it would be even more dangerous to allow their rhetoric to change our behavior substantially, because then they know they can always get their way in seeking territorial conquest simply by issuing nuclear threats, whether they're bluffing or not.8 points
