How did France lose the Franco-Prussian war?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is never properly explained in our histories. It all came down to the artillary and this was just after the US civil war which saw ample use of horse mobile guns. Yet the difference in range for the new steel guns were no secret. After all Krupp was selling them to anyone. In the end it was down to one man's decission in terms of procurement. The actual battle allowed the two armies to line up in hte old style and for the Germans to use their guns to smash the standing undefended infantry for hours until they finally broke. What were they thinking even then? When you a...
The 2020 election took place under a Trump-declared "National Emergency"
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
What this all means of course is that the whole domestic electoral infrastructure was surveiled and operationally penetrated by the US military and whoever else could be trusted. We are at war and clear foreign components lead to the use of related counter measures. My patience wears thin at times, but i now completely understand why 209,000 sealed indictments remain sealed. They needed to flush out the election based scheme first in order to slam shut the barn door. The rats are now all caught commiting actual crimes in the here and now. Trump used the election campaign to lur...
Was the Roman military superior to the Greek military?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
In fairness the Ronan Legion was superior in the field from 275 BC through its abandonment after Adrianople. (378 AD).. The reason it was abandoned was that it was too costly to maintain. Calvary also was becoming more important as well, though you really needed both. smaller polities made it difficult to field a large army that included both. As it was the Roman polity embracing the Mediterranean held sway for a four century span plus the era of its rise of three centuries. After the fall in the fifth century of the Western portion, the Eastern portion still dominated ...

What the 2020 Election Can Teach Us for 2024 and Beyond
Audrey Perry Martin, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Audrey Perry Martin* *Politics, The Americas* Clear deadlines for returning ballots are not a severe burden on voters, and they are necessary to run a competent election. The last thing anyone wanted in 2020 was a complicated post-presidential election debacle. Unfortunately, a combination of factors created a perfect storm for election chaos this year, and we are suffering in its aftermath. Although the litigation, audits, and recounts are far from over, several lessons have emerged that, if implemented, could help avoid similar problems in future close races. First, states ...

Jennifer Evans, The National Interest - 20 hours ago

The United States presidential election was a great spectacle. It was also a battle over the nation’s history and its future. As historians will tell you, how we characterize the past has direct bearing on how we imagine possible futures. What is the vision for a post-Trump America? In both the lead-up to Nov. 3 and its aftermath, history loomed large. More than 200 scholars of authoritarianism, fascism a...
Joe Biden Should Harness the Power of Empathy for a 'Therapeutic' Foreign Policy
Matthieu Vallières, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Matthieu Vallières* *Foreign Policy, The Americas* Even the prince of realpolitik himself, Henry Kissinger, former U.S. secretary of state and national security adviser, talked a lot about feelings and psychology. Both in the United States and abroad, President-elect Joe Biden finds himself with the unenviable task of trying to reverse the psychological and emotional effects of “post-Donald Trump stress disorder” that has set in over the last four years. Although foreign policy received scant attention from the candidates during the election campaign, the international wave of ...

We Need to Trim Government Workers' Retirement Benefits
Chris Edwards, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Chris Edwards* *Economics, Americas* [image: Cato at Liberty] The reforms are needed because many governments have not pre‐​funded the benefits, which is an irresponsible practice. The *Wall Street Journal* ran a news piece the other day on government workers entitled “Tighter Municipal Budgets Shrink Retiree Health Benefits.” The piece was sympathetic to the plight of state and local workers and opened with “America’s retired workers are getting squeezed on their health care.” Apparently, some state and local governments are trimming retirement health benefits.
