At ACL this year, my wife and I ended up befriending and hanging out with a couple about our age.  They were French, but lived right on the border in Luxembourg and both worked in Luxembourg.  She was super cute, and she and my wife were very much vibing together, and talking about what to do after the music shut down, and where they were staying.  And, I mean, cute little blonde french gal with a great accent.  Come on.

Was there a chance to go back to the hotel with a cute French/Luxembourgish couple and set up a story that I would only tell people in person, never post in writing?  I choose to believe that there was, we were all just too tired to make it happen when everything wrapped up.  That's what I'm going with, because that narrative makes me happy.  Don't take that away from me.

Should the war in Ukraine result in a Russian loss, what will the future hold for Russia?

Well, we know the road ahead for the Russians is going to be a rough one, but that doesn't mean the country will collapse from within immediately. The military and internal security services hold too much power, and since the heavily propagandized, aging, ethnic Russians account for 70% of the population, an internal uprising isn't of concern.

The real threat to Russia comes from the outside. Neighboring countries or those with an interest in seeing Russia remain destabilized could take advantage of its weaker borders and limited economic and strategic capacity.

"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I tried to buy weed in Amsterdam. Jesus, does anybody?"

Fixed it.

I wanna see China make a run at Siberia, only for the lulz. Do it for minerals or oil or wolf pelts.  Don't care.  Just do it.

While I get the sentiment, I don’t want to see China gain experience at war in any meaningful way.

Counterpoint: I have a huge and well-known weakness for French gals.

Thomas Massie files some good legislation, like the Epstein stuff.

And then he files legislation to pull us out of NATO: 

Quote

 

NATO is a Cold War relic. The United States should withdraw from NATO and use that money to defend our country, not socialist countries. Today, I introduced HR 6508 to end our NATO membership.” “NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union, which collapsed over thirty years ago. Since then, U.S. participation has cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and continues to risk U.S. involvement in foreign wars. Our Constitution did not authorize permanent foreign entanglements, something our Founding Fathers explicitly warned us against.”

“America should not be the world’s security blanket—especially when wealthy countries refuse to pay for their own defense,” Massie added.

 

Fucking idiot doesn't realize that a huge part of why we have these alliances, and why we maintain such a large military is not because somebody is going to invade us from overseas - two oceans and nukes on subs, missiles, and aircraft, are a fairly good deterrent.

We do it because we want to project power around the globe, because we want markets around the world open to American companies, and we want access to resources in those foreign markets, whether they be oil or metals or whatever.  And if we don't, then we leave a vacuum that China will gladly fill, and that's not good for our economy. It's why England did it for years, why Spain and France did it.
