I think when you spend all your time talking about how stupid the west is, you can lose sight of the fact that Russia can also be incredibly incompetent.

To be fair to the war nerd guys, they've often talked about how Putin isn't this genius playing 4d chess like the Russia stans on twitter believe.

I really enjoyed that war game episode, especially describing how he made the games in the early 90s. Ah, nostalgia.

The bit about Canadian law defining "co-ops" strictly in terms of agribusiness was pretty funny.

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

Ireland seems like a place that is pretty safe from fascism. If they do go off the rails for some reason they will at least limit the scope of their future genocide to the British.

There's always been a deeply reactionary Catholic tendency just bubbling under the surface of Irish society which has emerged as explicit fascism now and again (eg former IRA-man Eoin O'Duffy's Blueshirts), however I wouldn't say there is any immediate danger of fascism rearing its ugly head over here. There's just always the possibility (same as anywhere really). That said I hope John comes over to Northern Ireland again so Troubles 2: Carbomb Boogaloo can finally kick off!

we have fascists but its mostly our cohort of capitalism designated incels and american conservative money. Is not mainstream in anyway. Neo-liberalism is whats going on.

for me it was the day (a Wednesday I think) when he described all of Italy closing down for COVID. i called my boss the next day and told him to get ready to close up shop and he thanked me later

Some of the games mentioned in the gaming episode seem pretty cool. Can something like table top simulator be used to play them?

Yeah some of the COIN games are on TTS last I checked, although nothing by Brian Train. Here's a few:

Cuba Libre (definitely the game to start with)
Andean Abyss
Fire In The Lake

There's also VASSAL which is free and better for a lot of wargames imo; it's a bit clumsy to use but doesn't have to mess around with TTS' weird physics. Pretty sure the entire COIN series is on there
