El Pelón de TikTok ❌ :

In Iran, same model, with a difference, the U. S. is not in the same economic position as before, heavyly endebted.

Charlie :

In the end, Russia beat Germany, and we forced Japan to surrender by killing 200k civilians

iamblorgh :

Love your content. Hate the AI slop images you intersperse in it.

エッグ :

Chess vs Go. That’s what.

pyrostrike :

scoreboard or something

ravnhygge :

Is the book the same Gibson author who wrote cyberpunk fiction?

Brian Mulenga450 :

it was NOT capitalism it was scientific management theory. The idea that everything to be reduced to scientific analysis was common to both capitalism and socialism. This guided both sides in the Cold War.

baeson :

almost like the more intelligence you apply the less heart you allow and this is not always a superior mentality

Merylsweep :

You are so informative and insightful, are you a historian?

Scott Bennett :

Yes, so true

🔻Goblin Wizard🔻 :

What we are ignoring the genocide of Korea? FFS! We are still occupying half of Korea today! We even brought in Unit 731from Japan to launch biological attacks on the Korean people! Today! South Korea literally rounds up the disabled and has them enslaved on Sinui Island.

southernessencetr :

I want to say that in a more aligned timeline, you have constructed a reading list for all cabinet members… with books like this highlighted as *required* for secretaries of state and defense. But if we are going to pick aligned timelines I’d choose the one where we have already evolved past our current form of governing!

Makancheesey :

I've followed you for a while, I love your insights. But using AI images, that'll get you blocked

southernessencetr :

it wasn't war production it was simply oil.lol

itawilga🇦🇺 :

More the journo's fault!!

mustang_pedal_car :

I think it was by design. We didn’t intend to win at all. It was a big money grab by the military industrial complex.

peppersmackthesage :

Capitalism did not lose us the war in Vietnam. We lost for a variety of reasons. 1: Not having a clear objective, plan, and follow through to the end. 2: Not allowing the right people to orchestrate the war. 3: Discord and cultural shift on the home front 4: And ultimately not having a sufficient reason for being at war in the first place.

LeftyLeftDebi :

I think Trump is returning to this playbook with Iran. He thinks a bigger military is all it takes to capture the country he wants. Like Vietnam, Iran has the home-field advantage and difficult terrain. Plus a strong will to protect themselves at any cost. I also think Iran's leaders are smarter than Trump and his band of fools.
