I really liked the original Rainbow Six video game as a kid. The novel, not so much. e: I also once knew a guy who went to school with Vince Flynn and was the basis for one of the secondary characters in those insane novels brugroffil has issued a correction as of 16:24 on Dec 15, 2021 |

gradenko_2000 posted:Perhaps the grandfather of the genre is General Sir John Hackett's "The Third World War", which posits a Soviet invasion of Western Europe in August 1985 and presents it in a high-level retrospective, as if he was describing a history of what had already happened. drat Gradenko, you read alot. I am still on that Cuban-and-Taiwanese-wake-up-one-morning-and-they-have-switched-place fantasy. A quick search on that list Dale Brown seem to be the most popular one, I am going to set myself up for some sweet sweet pre-911 vintage military porn on hot Blackstone audio video cassette action.

I'll count that as personal growth and ideological deprogramming.

Clive Cussler books are funny as poo poo because he always had to come up with some contrived reason the spooky bad guys need to dig up some sunken poo poo to threaten the US with because dude just loving loved shipwrecks. The only one I can remember anything about was about a north korean who was undercover as a, uhhh, south korean multimillionare and he wanted to get some sunken IJA submarines that were carrying some sort of cyanide & smallpox super poison or other dumb poo poo. Another book is about japanese terrorists who want to salvage a secret third atom bomb carrying plane that fell into the pacific in 1945.

I read one of the later ghost written Cusslers where an evil Eskimo tribe plan to use genetically engineered killer salmon to wipe out fish stocks worldwide, by dropping them from a blimp into the ocean. There's also a lost Basque ship in the arctic iirc.

there's a very funny frederick forsyth book called "icon" that's about a super spy whose agents were all killed because of aldrich ames (and the book features a pretty substantial retelling of that whole affair lol) who gets recruited out of retirement by what is essentially The Cabal (but benign, no pedophilia) to sabotage the presidential campaign of russian hitler. it's a pretty fun story just taken on its own but forsyth's batty conservative politics shine through a lot of the geopolitical stuff, and of course the book ends with the russian people voting in a referendum to restore the romanov dynasty lol the day of the jackal and the dogs of war are both great books by him as well, especially the latter which is about a bunch of euro mercenaries trying stage a coup in a fictional african country. forsyth was a journalist who covered the biafra war (and also was a spy for british intelligence lol) before he became a novelist so a lot of it is based on stuff he saw/heard about.

I don't know but one thing is clear: I'm not going to go to twitter and read the article It has been in progress for some time. The latest was Russia earlier this year removing the dollar completely from it's National Wealth Fund and having a make up 40% Euros, 30% Yuan, 20% gold, 5% Yen and 5% Pound. Here's a post I made with some (probably paid walled by now) links about Russia's progress toward moving away from the dollar.

Oh cool they're starting to create a whole team of Chinese Guaidos kinda gives the game away when your "activism" is solely done in English and on social media. They're definitely not trying to manufacture consent by manipulating the west's views of China thatfatkid has issued a correction as of 21:36 on Dec 15, 2021 |

I’m listening to NPR, the only radio station I know, talk about Afghanistan in a show entirely devoted to ‘how could have the economy of Afghanistan crumbled so quickly? why didn’t anyone see this collapse coming? how did it blindsind the world’s leading experts? we sit down with the world’s leading experts, who say “everyone who had jobs in the war effort — poof. all those jobs were gone, overnight.”’
