The "Whataboutism" thing always baffles me. It's like they believe that because the State Department made a euphemism for "pointing out hypocrisy", they have this magical buzzword that ends any argument. Logical fallacies are fallacies for a reason, you don't just get to shut down any attempt to add a historical context just because you've got this nifty label.

Like say, what if there were a nation-state whose recent illegal military actions led to the death of millions, who consistently, cynically, and constantly flouts international law and the sovereignty of other nations...what if that nation-state were to try using similar moral grounds to drum up military confrontation with a fellow nuclear superpower? Seems to me that the context of their recent history would be important, pertinent, and not just some distraction.

If you're outside of the USA and can access it (or can just use something like Tor), libgen and zlib both have mobi copies (which you can use calibre or something to convert to epub if you really need epub)

He also had an XM8 prototype sent to him in Iraq so he could be the only guy in theatre with the Rifle of the Future.

This is him shooting it stateside during testing. He convinced the Pentagon brass that the 82nd AB was the only unit in the military up to the task of user trials of the new rifle lol.


Well if I was in his position I'd want the coolest newest guns immediately sent to me too

West stabs Kurds in the back for the 50th time. How quickly they went from "our best allies in Iraq and Syria, elite fighters against ISIS" to "terrorists".

They gave up Marxism Leninism and let Americans set up base on their oil fields and it still wasn't enough to get the minimum of protection.
They did?

The levels of permitted racism and orientalism the non-cspam politics threads get into is always incredible. Obviously it gets egregious when discussing states like Russia and China and they can't even satiate their hunger by pretending to keep their attacks on those current governments, it always turns into some sort of tirade about the fundamental characters of those "civilizations". Just this loving idea that the West is some unique civilizational fount of rationality, liberty, etc, it's such a loving evil stupid patronizing ahistorical fascist viewpoint but it's bog standard for these mediocre white idiots and their whitewashed pawns.

I thought that thread was psychotically anti China, but now Chinese infrastructure success has them comparing China to the liberal hero state of nazi Germany. perhaps soon a Chinese civil engineer will get her own standing ovation in a liberal democratic parliament.
that is the interesting thing, so many of them engage with history in that limited "knowing the gently caress out of WW2 stuff, particularly Nazis, almost like I super duper love them and am fascinated and transfixed by the myths of their greatness/'brutal efficiency' that make up so much of the Western historical canon" and they're also kinda Holocaust minimizers/distorters because of their willingness to make equivalencies about how Stalin/Putin/the CCP are "as bad as Hitler/the Nazis". do you want to hug and kiss them or not?? Figure it out.

“However, the Vatican accused the Chinese authorities of violating the pact in April by unilaterally appointing a new bishop for Shanghai even after it had been agreed that the final decision in appointing bishops lay with the pope.”

I think it’s cool that China is having an Investiture Controversy. If anything, it proves they are a worthy successor to the Holy Roman Empire.
Hoping for an anti-pope in Shanghai by 2030.

quote:

The effects aren’t just economic. Business Insider pointed out that President Biden believes the property crisis reduces the possibility of a China-U.S. conflict over Taiwan. "He has his hands full right now," Biden said of Xi earlier this month. Xi’s efforts to spur his country’s economy are faltering, and some observers fear that means China might ratchet up its designs on Taiwan. Biden disagrees. "I don't think it's going to cause China to invade Taiwan,” Biden said. “Matter of fact the opposite, [the country] probably doesn't have the same capacity as it had before.”
