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 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.

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.

Don’t even know what to say on this crap anymore.  It’s so hot and cold from month to month and makes absolutely no sense.  More sanctions, less sanctions, more intelligence given, less intelligence given…

Trying to give the appearance of not being in Putin’s pocket.

BBC; Russian general killed by car bomb in Moscow, officials say

A Russian general has been killed in a car bombing in Moscow, officials have said.

Russia's Investigative Committee said Lt Gen Fanil Sarvarov died on Monday morning after an explosive device planted under a car detonated.

He is the third military official to have been killed in bomb attacks in the Russian capital over the last year.

Sarvarov, 56, was the head of the armed forces' operational training department, the committee said.


It added one theory being investigated was that the bomb was planted with the involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. Ukraine has not commented.

Sarvarov died in hospital as a result of his injuries, the committee said, adding it had opened an investigation into murder and illegal trafficking of explosives.

Investigators have been sent to the scene, in a car park near an apartment block in the south of Moscow.

Images from the area show a badly damaged white Kia Sorento with the doors blown out, surrounded by other vehicles.

According to Russian media, Sarvarov previously took part in combat operations during the Ossetian-Ingush conflict and the Chechen wars in the 1990s and early 2000s, and also led operations in Syria between 2015-2016.

Vladimir Putin was informed of Sarvarov's death immediately, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, a number of military officials and high-profile individuals have been targeted in the Russian capital.

Darya Dugina, the 29-year-old daughter of a prominent nationalist figure and Putin close ally, was killed in a suspected car bombing in 2022.

Gen Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a car bomb attack last April, while Gen Igor Kirillov died in December 2024 when a device hidden in a scooter was detonated remotely.

A Ukrainian source later told the BBC that Kirillov was killed by Ukraine's security service, though this was never confirmed on the record. As a matter of policy, Ukraine never officially admits or claims responsibility for targeted attacks.

AP; Car bomb kills Russian general in Moscow

MOSCOW (AP) — A car bomb killed a Russian general on Monday, the third such killing of a senior military officer in just over a year. Investigators said Ukraine may be behind the attack.

Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov, head of the Operational Training Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces’ General Staff, died from his injuries, said Svetlana Petrenko, the spokesperson for Russia’s Investigative Committee, the nation’s top criminal investigation agency. He was 56.

“Investigators are pursuing numerous lines of inquiry regarding the murder. One of these is that the crime was orchestrated by Ukrainian intelligence services,” Petrenko said.

Since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine nearly four years ago, Russian authorities have blamed Kyiv for several assassinations of military officers and public figures in Russia. Ukraine has claimed responsibility for some of them. It has not yet commented on Monday’s death.
