Diogenes Sarcastica™ at Diogenes' Middle Finger - 12 hours ago
The Unholy Left went to battle against America in the summer of 1968 and hasn’t stopped fighting since. They hated Nixon, they hated Reagan, they hated G. W. Bush and now, boy do they hate Donald J. Trump. From the moment it dawned on them on election night that Trump was going to win, they have gone to the mattresses, seeking to undermine the validity of the election and bring down the president of the United States. While we’re waiting for the Left to see the light, let’s turn the tables and start using their own weapons against them. The very first Rule in my *Book of Rules* is... more »

My position was not about "destroying" anyone, but about a stance progressives should take in negotiating over culture war issues.We'll see if Boot's op ed attracts the same response as my "take a hard line in negotiating" post did. (Probably not, because it won't generate the anti-semitic and "he's senile" reactions.)

Russian military tactics and operations in Ukraine

I'm obliged to Solomon for posting this video of a talk by Dr. Phillip Karber, given at West Point Military Academy, on "The Russian Way of War". It's just over an hour long, and examines the conflict in Ukraine. For those interested in the subject - particularly what US forces might have to face in a major confrontation - it's very informative (not to mention deeply worrying, considering how many of the abilities exhibited by Russian forces have been ignored or allowed to atrophy by our own armed forces). *Very* thought-provoking.
