    The Death of our Liberty. (Discussion Thread)

    Liberals do not have a monopoly on liberty. And liberty can only be enjoyed when there is order. And order will always be prioritised over liberty as, whilst high minded ideas are nice, not being murdered by the axe wielding maniacs over the hill is at the forefront of peoples’s minds.

    Armchair General's DonbAss Derailed Discussion Thread (Topics Include History, Traps, and the Ongoing Slavic Civil War plus much much more)

    Doesn’t matter how old it is, any tank is going to ruin your day at point blank range. Shows how shit Russian doctrine is if one of their more advanced tanks was not only unsupported but effectively bumped into enemy armour.

    China ChiCom News Thread

    I heard about those, but apparently the current consensus on the matter is the initial analysts were over eager and those weren’t cracks but liquid spill of some variety. At least, that’s what I’ve heard.

    China ChiCom News Thread

    Depends how inferior. If the Chinese can churn out in quantity kit of late Cold War quality at the very least (we know they have far shinier toys than that), then they remain a dangerous opponent. Right now America remains the military superior of China, but China has the luxury of being able...

    China ChiCom News Thread

    To reiterate an earlier point, China has got too much bloody money to do as badly as Russia. They have a vast industrial base and manpower pool, they can reliably produce their own kit in serious numbers, and after a while quantity can become a quality all of its own. Not a foe to be...

    Turkish-backed attack on Armenia by Azerbaijan with formal declaration of War

    Am I alone in thinking history will see this as among the first shots of renewed Azeri and Armenian conflict? So much for the “End of History”…again…

    China ChiCom News Thread

    I reckon China has a touch too much money to fuck up quite as badly as Russia did. That and the Chinese Communist Party of all things is a tad less corrupt than Putin’s circle.

    History Western Civilization, Rome and Cyclical History

    Another point in their favour! They aren’t run by raving lunatics who want to spend all their strength on a useless grudge against the United States. Morocco is a bit of an odd “bro” as I understand it. They came to Gibraltar‘s aid when Franco was throwing a tantrum I believe. A friend of mine...

    Breaking News Robert F Kennedy Jr. is considering a 2024 POTUS Run To Challenge Biden

    They were vaguely. Lee Harvey Oswald was one of their’s to a certain extent.

    History Western Civilization, Rome and Cyclical History

    Admittedly there are parts of the Islamic world dramatically less shit than others. The Turks remain the hot blooded lunatics they’ve always been; Hashemite Jordan is an island of stability and, if I may be so bold, justice in a sea of anarchy; Morocco actually tries to be a functional country...

    18th century ship of the line

    No battle of Trafalgar? Bad form, old boy. Bad form.

    I’d normally say they wouldn’t be that mad. But in terms of foolish decisions they have often surprised me of late.

    Star Wars The Ahsoka Show

    Oh right, I see what you’re driving at. Thrawn isn’t quite a monster, but he will do monstrous things if he feels like he has too. He won’t exactly be happy about it but he’ll do dreadful things in the name of Imperial Order. He’s no misunderstood hero. Quite like a Roman General in that...

    Star Wars The Ahsoka Show

    That would have been a bit stupid. I don’t agree with the idea of Thrawn being “evil” so to speak, as he simply isn’t the monster that Palpatine or Tarkin were, and its not simply a matter of efficiency, but he is fundamentally at odds with someone like Ezra. Space Aladdin likes his freedom and...

    History Western Civilization, Rome and Cyclical History

    The Crusades were a nasty affair for Islamic culture…but then the Mongols showed up and things got tremendously worse. To this day they have not mentally recovered from what Genghis Khan did to them. Calm down. Ask nicely and I’m sure you can get a reader’s digest of the matter. Essentially...
