The Downfall of Europe
Near the beginning of this mess I wrote about the deadly effects of social media on the war in Ukraine, and now we’re seeing this campaign reach ghastly but entirely predictable conclusions. I have also written that nazis are not nationalists. Nationalists try to make their own countries strong and prosperous. Nazis do the opposite. … Read more
Soviet Deep Battle and OODA Loops in the Ukraine
A reader sent me this interesting story about Winter-20, a large tabletop exercise in Poland to simulate a Russian invasion. The setup and its outcome were both interesting.

Let’s compare Hitler and Zelensky. Can we truly call them nationalists? I think these two guys actually have a lot in common. They’re both nazis, of course. Hitler is dead and Zelensky is probably about to be dead. But beyond that, they were (past tense) both bright, intelligent guys who loved attention. And they were both put in a similar situation with Russia, and both made the same choice. Yes, you read that correctly. Zelensky made the same choice as Hitler. Not only that, what happened with Zelensky I think actually provides some insight about Hitler as well.
