Also as an aside, I think this actually reinforces the point about optimism and confidence. Imo some of the pessimism being criticized here comes precisely from the (incorrect) assumption that to compete with and secure our independence from the US, we need to basically copy it.

No, seriously, we're not going to get an industrial cluster that the US has had in one place since the late 1950s. We can have other clusters if we invest in EU mobility (repression of white supremacists to get the moderate right to be less racist would help), infrastructure, and STEM education.

I think Armin is being far too patient with DHH here, but this is important: "But [the US] has things we lack: a large integrated market, deep pools of risk capital, a more ordinary relationship to ownership, and an instinct that asks how to make something work before explaining why it cannot."

The account "mckay4senate.bsky.social" has been bought by a little-known French financier tied to TotalEnergies SE. But don't worry, this account will continue to advocate for liberalism, Robert Redford movies, PDF screenshots, and restoring French ownership of energy networks in the Sahel.

Next week keeps trending towards a more serious escalation.

Since it was asked what I think are the remaining Tu-95 Bear-Hs, here is from my notes. 32 likely airframes available at the beginning of the war with 1 test airframe (317 RED), 1 stored, and 9 losses (destroyed or probable economic hull loss). Realistically 21 Bear-Hs that still have teeth.

Imagine a prosperous, multiracial & pluralist society running on green feminist infrastructure, fueled by green energy & publicly funded scientific innovation, where everyone's basic needs are generously met & no person or group is so powerful they dominate everyone else. That's the liberal vision.
