This is a scathing and well sourced retrospective. It's hard reading because it drags up a lot of grubby acts I had forgotten throughout 2016-2019 but it draws the right conclusions, even if they're ones that will have no impact at all on the perpetrators of those acts: https://jacobinmag.com/2021/06/liberals-boris-johnson-thatcherism-hard-brexit-corbyn-labour

Theres a stitch up going on with the next round of self employment covid grants. Had a missed call and voicemail from an unknown number. They said they were from HMRC but did not leave contact details. Missed the same call again a few hours later. Get home in the evening to find a letter had arrived that day from them saying they will be ringing from an unknown number to invite weird dropbox emails to apply for the next grant. You can't contact them and they will only call "up to 3 times" then youre buggered. I work in an often loud environment, I'm sure thats not unusual and can't have my phone on me at all times so basically hosed.

Tesseraction posted:To be fair to Van Riper America has yet to win a war against unconventional forces. Their only victories were a bunch of small invasions and defeating Saddam Hussein for a bullshit "War on Terror" only to cause global terrorism to exponentially rise. If anything he kinda proved how America comes in flopping its dick only to get owned by a bunch of poo poo it hadn't planned for, whether it's Chinese reinforcements in Korea, the concept of trees in Vietnam or that training a bunch of fundamentalist religious fighters to kill their perceived invaders might one day have your own country seen as the invader. Has anybody really "won" a war against irregulars in recent history?

OwlFancier posted:Has anybody really "won" a war against irregulars in recent history? Depends on your definition of "win" and "irregular" of course. Assuming you mean an occupying force versus a widespread insurgency, not so much. Arguably the Soviets versus Hungary and Czechoslovakia, although there wasn't really much in the way of actual military resistance there. End of the Chinese Civil War maybe? The remnants of the Kuomintang were definitely an irregular force by that point, but then the tattered remains of a defeated army is a very different beast to an actual insurgency.

ISIS got pretty much crushed in Syria and Iraq too, but again arguably tattered remains of a defeated army. Then again were the KMT defeated or did they just regroup on loser island?
