Life as normal became war life as normal. They were lucky to emerge into a better world. We don't necessarily think that's a high probability.


Yes, few indeed remember the last Industrial Age crisis. But you still have to remember that none have lived through an Information Age crisis. Nukes ...

I once read an unusual perspective on the Middle East. During the Industrial Age while Europe fought in forests with infantry and melee weapons, much of the Middle East fought in deserts with horse archers. This resulted in a basic difference in tactics. If you were losing in a fight as a horse ...

Now to answer FullMoon's question - what would follow WW3?


Hmm…. I’m anticipating more of a rejection of what Trump is doing. The tariff based economics, the cutting of services that various people want, the lack of due process, the lack of respect for the constitution, the excess transactional ...

Yah. The greater the disaster, the greater the need for progressive change. We're getting a bunch of disaster. The rich elites having too much say in government? Too much prejudice?

Personally, I'd rather the current system had been preserved by a Kamala victory, but with Trump we are getting a ...

Technically, 'Congress shall make no law' does not cover the current situation. Congress allocated the funds. The executive just reallocated them. Yet, Congress is supposed to spend money, the executive just supervise the execution.

A few nights ago I watched an MSNBC review of all the folks mad at Trump: colleges, medical folk, aviators, lawyers, judges, fired federal employees, Social Security recipients, farmers, importers… I sent a message to my niece. She runs a great white shark museum out on Cape Cod. I just had to ask ...

Yes. I sympathize with much of the above. I'd add that he is a casual criminal, disregarding the law, yet acting surprised when he is prosecuted. He is also growing senile. His accusations that Biden was getting old and mentally challenged were projection. I;m not that much into psychology, or in ...

I still feel containment is beneficial. I don’t favor one culture crushing another using force of arms, law, prejudice, or other. This generally leads me to favor the defense, be it the Ukraine, Gaza, Taiwan or the various American minorities. Trump’s favoring Jewish over Arab peoples or attempts to ...

The USA is not controlled by any one person, group, or some secret cabal (unlike, say, modern Russia, China, and Iran)

If a Left leaning cabal was controlling things, Trump would never have been elected in either 2016 or 2024.

If a Right leaning cabal was controlling things, Trump would not have ...
