Another interesting point Reinforces that deterrence is an important aspect of collective security, which is an important driver of peace and stability. If you let the bully do what he wants and do not react to aggressive moves, he will keep it up and will cross the thresholds eventually beyond what you can reasonably deter.

One particularly interesting nugget I wasn't tracking the importance of this due to overweighted coverage of the Javelin.

Will read this with interest. I'll comment when I'm through.

He's not making the right choices is what the elementary school's guidance counselor would have said to me after I spent a day drawing instead of doing my school work.

RE: Corum. I just saw that Sam Webb retweeted the report. Might be more to that than just Ian Rappaport trying to goose the betting lines for Saturday on behalf of the degenerate gambling interests.

I like how the prosecutor said the reason they delayed sentencing for Mazi Smith was to mess with Spartan fans minds.

Until some other reporter reports this... this is still some goomba NFL reporter who still thinks Harbaugh is heading to Oakland.

Its an extremely self-indulgent turn for him. I think indicative that he lacks some basic judgement which is likely caused by untreated mental illness.

I understand that Oakland is in play

Ian Rappaport of NFL fame reporting Blake Corum is out for the year for knee surgery

He's an idiot for carrying without the paper. Dumbshittery.

So this is a thread

I heard from the Spartan board that he actually was shooting at Spartan players in the tunnel.

So, hearing he had a CCW and then it lapsed? How frequently do you have to renew a CCW in the state of Michigan that a man of his age would have one and it would lapse? I have one in the state of Virginia which goes for 5 years.

Shouldn't he be anti-Armenian?

appears Kanye West has lost his everloving mind and has slid into rampant genocidal antisemitism.

I used to think on balance the experience of places like Africa and India were net positive from the British Empire. I think if the British had recognized the folly of racism and their own hubris earlier, they might have had a much more productive relationship with the colonial states akin to the relationship they had with the "Dominions" such as Canada, Australia, NZ. But, because humans were involved they didn't see past those things.

There was significant difference between individual European empires. Belgium was terrible. It was truely the heart of darkness in the Congo. Germany was really bad, but in some ways good (their post-WWII treatment of former colonial areas was very good I'm told). France remains the colonial power in vast areas via soft power. The British areas were basically caught between the reformers, the capitalists, the missionaries and the modernizers. Oxford eggheads fighting with City bankers, the Debeers diamond interests and their ilk fighting with the Clappham sect (the reformist who organized for the end of the slave trade). The Boers were the worst because they had a religious zeal to their abuse of the Black Africans.

The only problem with this metaphor is Russia burnt their home so Ukraine wouldn't have a home and so Russian soldiers could steal their washing machines and toilets because Ukrainians are not considered actual people.

I recommend our solution to COVID over China's solutions to COVID. Even though those thugs are responsible for the disease in the first place. The Western/civilized world has responded to the emergency correctly for the most part. It was the use of caution, guided by science and history. The Chinese on the other hand are consigning entire populations to lockdowns and quarantine prison camps for a single case.
