Poking the Bear Again

I’m sure Hanny will be posting why a dementia patient should be in charge of this shitshow rather than Nuclear Hitler Trump.

in most cases these guys are just picking up where Trump left off

the idea that Trump was a bulwark against the NeoCon agenda is a fantasy, people projecting what they want to see

Dude, you’re talking about me.

Biden is weak and discombobulated. Putin & China were held in check by bombastic Trump. I can interpret that much.

Neoconservatism is just a revival of American culture

it has nothing to do with who is President, all Presidents are Neoconservative

from Appamattox Court House to the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon

war is the force that gives us meaning, free all the slave everywhere, or die trying

I disagree but I respect your opinion enough not to parse it. You’ve explained that you’d be a JFK Libertyist if it was an option, but since it isn’t, you’re siding with the Fascists because they at least stand for something. That’s not where I am but I’d rather it be thee than them.

I side with the operational imperatives of the two stage fission-fusion thermonuclear bombs

as a Neoconservative, I supported all of Trump's Neoconservative military policies, except the Space Force

Trump did in fact institute the most radically aggressive shift in nuclear weapons policy of them all

mounting the W76-2 tactical warheads on Trident II, that's the game changer right there

but since America is shifting to counterforce in a multipolar paradigm, that was the correct decision

I’m sure Hanny will be posting why a dementia patient should be in charge of this shitshow rather than Nuclear Hitler Trump.

I am at least as concerned about Biden's resolve as I was about Trump's unpredictability.

Both characteristics can lead to miscalculations and blunders - but I was never all that worried about the whole nuclear Hitler thing. There seem to be enough fail-safes to keep that in check. Same goes for nuclear senility.

There isn't really anyone I can think of that I actually trust 100% with the responsibility of being in charge of a nuclear superpower.

Dude, really? We didn’t even have this shit under Trump. False Equivalency mutterfukker.

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

Hanny is a lost cause; I have never once seen him change sides. I tried carrots with him for over 2 years; now it’s all stick.

It's not a personal beef with me, I like Hanarchy, quite sure we'd have a good time hanging out on my deck

No doubt - I got nothin' but love for those vast northern wilds. Drinking, staring at trees, and wrastling a dog is tops.

Hold up - I'm not trying to convince you Trump was a problem. I'm just pointing out that your assumption that I have much confidence in Biden is wrong.

I am for putting pressure on Russia - but it requires resolve, and I am not sure Biden has it.

I hope he do.

at this level of operations Trump was quite predictable

Obama was the game changer, Obama rewrote the doctrine

Trump followed the Obama doctrine, Biden is too

we are talking about the military strategic level here, nothing at the tactical level makes much difference

[Martin Hash]

Trump was a foreign policy god: it was carrot, carrot, carrot - fuck with me and you get the stick.
