Best Of

Repost, but I enjoyed the video a lot and systems collapse is on-topic:


Not a usual channel of mine to watch but I've had the first book on 1177 BC on my radar for a while, and Eric Cline's 103 minute video about the Late Bronze Age Collapse is very interesting. And maybe relevant because there's a surprisingly strong trade network that ends, with some powers diminished and others wiped out entirely.

Remember the only way (for oil prices )is up.

I should have just typed "First".

Then I would have been first, and beaten you by 30 seconds.

Up there with the FIFA Peace Prize.

Mike Johnson: Tonight we have created a new award. We are going to do something we've never done before. We will honor him with a new award. He is the first ever recipient of the America first award. That is this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the golden era.

All the vibes coming out of the US point to incipient dictatorship. That one’s Turkmenbashi-esque.

The Trump crime family is becoming ever more blatant.

Donald Trump Jr. bought into a company. 3 months later, his dad's Pentagon handed them $620 million in taxpayer dollars. Democrats forced a vote to subpoena Don Jr. today to come clean about this shady deal.

But Republicans blocked it and even shut down the hearing to protect him.

Hunter Biden isn't sufficient deflection even for MAGA, these days.

I’m sure any ground incursion will be as successful and well thought out as this incursion.

By this stage of the Iraq conflict the US and its allies had taken Iraq and Baghdad had fallen.

What does the US have to show now. Hormuz closed to most traffic and all their bases in the region destroyed.

POTUS47 has been a disaster.

Yanks are well and truly F****d , no chance of winning anything other than a phyrric victory and that even unlikely. Trump and his horrible bunch have shat in their own pants.

More calumny against Pyrrhus. He had a 2/3 winning record against the Romans and lost against an inherently stronger foe.

The grifting, the illegal appointments, the abuse of the Constitution and the law, the absurdly inept prosecutions of Comey and James, the threats to Canada and Greenland, the abuse and gratuitous insults of allies, the abandonment of Ukraine, we were not exactly short of reasons to hold Trump in contempt before this but the bombing of Iran is a whole other level of bad. This is going to destroy his Presidency. It serves him right but the price we are all paying for it is severe and is going to get worse.
