To defend her false flag theory Hend Amry is now posting a graphic about random Jews around the world lying. In the top left is a really far out claim that Elie Wiesel wasn’t actually a holocaust survivor. Bottom right is just racist caricature drawings. She’s going deep into antisemitism.

The number of educated people who cannot understand why any liberal would want to understand war is depressing

you actually have to enter the arena of military history if you want to contest the guys like Victor Davis Hanson, imo

Yeah, the wise man’s stance here is “we’ll see what happens” instead of reacting to every statement from either side

Calling it now, the moment they're in a room with Vance they break out a giant Uno Reverse card and Delcy Rodriguez him into power.

Will never not be insane to me they drove out Paul Krugman and keep this idiot around

case in point: i saw a bunch of people yesterday start a shitstorm with an anti-ICE lawyer primarily because they presumed that he didn't share their perception on ICE at airports. in practice there is no difference between what either people wants, but social media nukes comprehension

On am Amtrak home. AMA

What's the difference between the Vietnam War and the Iran war? Trump had a plan to get out of the Vietnam War.

30 Years War discourse, LFG!!!! Come on nerds, you won’t get this chance again.

it never fails to amuse/depress me that like 80+% of actual economists and top business school graduates are democrats and yet the median American still thinks republicans have better economic policies

To be clear, what’s launched a thousand quote tweets is Newsom saying: 1. He supports a Two-State Solution 2. He condemns Netanyahu for enabling the far right 3. He believes that Israel is not currently an apartheid state, but the far right aims to turn it into one

Did you know we are putting on a free conference about liberalism and the good life?

For anyone unaware, “Paul von Hindenburg is a liberal” was an actual position someone on here held

It’s hard to articulate the rage I feel towards the use of tactical gear. Why does an ICE agent in an airport need a Bkue Force Gear dump pouch? Why does he need a dump pouch at all (except to hold his snackies, obviously). The GWOT operator cosplay is exhausting.

Supreme Allied Commander Ferdinand Foch staring down the German spring offensive of 1918:

I have a parasocial relationship with Clausewitz but I don’t issue fatwas on people who critique him

Issuing death threats because you have a parasocial relationship with Lenin is quite funny to me ngl

A lot of it comes down to “it’s just jokes.” People don’t wanna be seen as not being able to get a joke or to take a joke But actually relentless comments about someone’s appearance peppered with some suggestions they should be assaulted or killed is pretty textbook irony poisoning

it’s very funny to be doing the ‘these dorks need some bullying 😈’ shtick when your profession is ‘video game blogger’, like buddy I have some bad news

Part of the point of a constitution with separation of powers is to prevent the masses from placing criminals above the law. These systems are supposed to reinforce one another to preserve the republic. The framers did not design a despotism of the popular vote.

Live footage as I continue to Monitor the Situation

Under Carlism they will be… adopted into house Bourbon? I think some wires got crossed here

Gonna use this one a lot

Iranian strategy hinges on being able to deter strikes within Iran itself—otherwise it cannot effectively aid its proxies. If a country has all its senior leadership assassinated and then agrees to peace, that’s a tacit acceptance of the assassinations.

incredibly good news

I disagree for a few reasons: First, it ain’t over til it’s over. While there’s no indication the regime will collapse, the losses Iran has taken are serious, as is domestic discontent. Whether the regime can stabilize the situation is unclear in the medium to long term.

“We don’t want to be used as political pawns” Clausewitz:

This 100% makes sense when you understand the median voters have concerns like this: www.nytimes.com/2019/08/01/o...

This should really be seen as a deliberate attempt by some portion of the populist right to undo the “Judeo-Christian” synthesis, which erased Jewish specificity, but gave Jews a place as junior partners in a civilizational war against both Islam and secularism. That might be over now.

I’ve said this before, but the cooption of Kirk as a generic “civil discourse” icon unintentionally made him useless as a martyr to the right—he was just a martyr to the pundit class.

the left nimby program in a nutshell 1: "decommodify housing" 2: sadly, no new housing is built 3: i inherit my parents' house

Dr. Schake, one of the most brilliant and respected and genuinely liked scholars in national security, was scheduled to give a talk at the Air War College on civ-mil relations. She was uninvited. This is the talk she would have given. Her words should be heard www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The antisemitism to fash pipeline is as powerful as ever, I see.

Ok AMAA (Ask Me Anything Amphibious) and I’ll try to keep up. My mentions are a mess and I’m sure I missed some.

"What exactly do our service members think we’re trying to do in Iran?...This isn’t simply about rhetoric, but about a fundamental view of power & its relationship to violence that filters down to strategy.” Powerful challenge from @philklay.bsky.social about American traditions of morality in war.

Tucker 2028 is going to be a fun one

This has 1.4K RTs and 3.7K Likes, but the only thing here that bears any resemblance at all to the JCPOA is No. 6. 1, 4 & 5 were not addressed, and 2 & 3 were permitted. I doubt Iran will agree, which is why Obama focused on getting the most favorable terms on 2, 3 & 6. But this is just wrong.

This will be the sixth time that we have created woke and the sixth time that we have destroyed it. We have become exceedingly efficient at it.

i don’t really have any argument with menswear guy’s general malaise about the web in 2026, but you can all go start blogs right now, and the gap between what your imagination can conjure and what you can technically build by yourself has never been smaller than it is right now

Update: we all knew this would happen

The next Democratic President will be elected on the backs of millions of voters who by and large do not care about the lives of billions of people in the Third World and yet will hold those lives in their hands. I have yet to believe that any of the leading candidates viscerally understand this.

Israel can occupy Palestine indefinitely—they don’t need my permission to do so, nor that of anyone else. The only means of ending the occupation is by generating political pressure within Israel to do so. A non-violent, deradicalized Palestinian movement is the best means of achieving this.

Holy shit. This is dead fucking on target.

You can’t just say “actually, your argument is normative.” No, I meant what I said. What is just and what is possible are often greatly different.

Strategy means meeting your KPIs
