Oil Price Cap: The British Are Prepared to Fight to the Last Prussian (Again)
Tomorrow, the “free world’s” price cap on Russian oil is set to begin. This reminds me of another historical event. On 9 October, 1806, Prussia declared hostilities against France, and so began the War of the Fourth Coalition. Absolutely confident in their martial abilities, Prussian officers gloatingly sharpened their swords on the steps of the French embassy in Berlin. Napoleon crushed the Prussian army in less than a week. On 27 October, he captured Berlin, and then paraded surviving Prussian officers past the embassy they had mocked. There’s an obvious moral lesson here about not being overconfident, but today I want to talk about WHY the Prussians up as cannon fodder against Napoleon.
We Are At War With Eurasia. We Have Always Been At War With Eurasia
On October 20, CNN actively and deliberately discouraged people from leaving Kherson, dismissing Russian evacuation efforts as “hysteria.” Of course as everyone who’s paid attention to the news knows by now, Kherson is occupied by Ukrainian militants and embroiled in an intense artillery duel. On November 28, CNN condemned the Russian artillery strikes, claiming “now they’re killing the civilians they once vowed to protect.” Really. Did CNN reporters just intentionally prevent people from leaving an active war zone, hoping those people would later be killed so CNN could make money off their deaths? And this is far from the only media flip-flop lately.
