This reads like Laurence just left the porta potty trailing TP from his pant legs.
Back in February I was suggesting Herman Kahn’s book “On Escalation” as a roadmap of where the jingoism in Brussels, DC, the entire government/media complex would take us. It’s been a one way climb to get way up here on the ladder.
“In this widely discussed and influential book, Herman Kahn probes the dynamics of escalation and demonstrates how the intensification of conflict can be depicted by means of a definite escalation ladder, ascent of which brings opponents closer to all-out war. At each rung of the ladder, before the climb proceeds, decisions must be made based on numerous choices. Some are clear and obvious, others obscure, but the options are always there.
Thermonuclear annihilation, says Kahn, is unlikely to come through accident; but nations may elect to climb the ladder to extinction. The basic material for the book was developed in briefings delivered by Kahn to military and civilian experts and revised in the light of his findings of a trip to Vietnam in the 1960s. In On Escalation he states the facts squarely. He asks the reader to face unemotionally the terrors of a world fully capable of suicide and to consider carefully the alternatives to such a path.
In the never-never land of nuclear warfare, where nuclear incredulity is pervasive and paralyzing to the imagination even for the professional analyst, salient details of possible scenarios for the outbreak of war, and even more for war fighting, are largely unexplored or even unnoticed. For scenarios in which war is terminated, the issues and possibilities of which are almost completely unstudied, the situation is even worse. Kahn’s discussion throws light on the terrain and gives the individual a sense of the range of possibilities and complexities involved and are useful.”
A little late to be having a mid-life crisis, but that is exactly what this looks like.
Dying guy feels the shadow of his own mortality sht.
Looks to dubious greatness of Russian leaders past and says to himself, I need to leave my sht stain on the world too.
Now more than ever before should you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Be prepared, armor yourself with the blood of Jesus Christ and be resurrected into the right hand of God.
*yawn* probably empty husks.
Yawn....
Savages gonna savage.
Did biden threaten to nuke Americans again ?
Richard Feynman coined the phrase “tickling the dragon’s tail” to refer to dangerously experimenting with critical mass in fissile material. The same could be said of goading Russia by arming its enemies.
What’s new?
A lot of Deja Vu in your excerpt.
“Jubilant soldiers and servicewomen marched outside the Kremlin in preparation for Monday’s celebration”
Compared to the not so jubilant soldiers in Ukraine who have the choice of being shot by the Ukrainian soldiers or their Chechen “allies”. Putin must have kept his crack units in Moscow in anticipation of the Victory parade.
While I have no pup in this hunt I would find it ironic if the invading Russians had their arses handed to them by the smaller and inferior Ukrainians.
I saw this movie in the 50s.
Can not wait for ww3 to get started. It will be a Blast! At least according to the globalist in the West and those on here on FR.
Oohhhhh chilling! lol
These are paraded every parade. Big deal. The US keeps placing more and more nuclear weapons around Russia but thinks a return of that favor isn’t going to happen.
