Helsinki's very first principle prohibited expanding one's security at the expense of another's.
Every Russian attempt to revise the Euro security order began by reaffirming Helsinki b/c it was the West who treated it like a just a slip of paper.
Bildt is a self-service noble.

wow -- CNN broadcast footage of an Arlington guard yelling at a group with Pete Hegseth to "MAINTAIN SILENCE ... PAY RESPECT!" after someone in his entourage started laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

The self-insert of this book is hilarious. Reading this makes me want to shove some nerd in a locker. Holy shit.
The main protagonist: women want him, men want to be him because of -- get this -- his maths.
Adjunct professor Hari Seldon, hailing from what I can only describe as Planet Iowa, has solved all the problems of the humanities department with math. Immediately falling in love with him is his new research assistant, Dors, a conservatively dressed sleeper build femme fatale robot from the history department. Together, they embark on a secret mission to expose the normie empire's fragility by collecting more data.
God damn. This is the nerd version of vampire romantasy tumblr.

Fascists think their ideas are common sense. Any opposition is either false (liars for personal gain) or true (traitors).
Yet, they simultaneously think they themselves are the only ones who would ever implement these obvious ideas. Everyone is either Hegseth or Judith Butler.
This makes arguing for them very easy, making them more and more certain of their arguments. They think that anyone who opposes them on one thing (e.g., murdering unarmed non-combatant civilian fishermen) must also oppose them on every other thing (e.g., not making the Marine Corps gayer than it already is). Any opposition to any idea is ignored as hypocritical.

Today, the Chinese and U.S. militaries held a solemn ceremony in Chengdu to mark the handover of the remains of American airmen, who fought alongside the Chinese people against Japanese aggression during WWII.
We will never forget these heroic American friends who stood shoulder to shoulder with us for peace and justice. May their legacy live on, and may peace prevail.

got a friend in the marine corps and he’s always telling me how everyone in his unit is reading Adorno in their bunk at night

Always a day late and a dollar short. Almost as if it were designed that way.
On Veterans Day, Pete Hegseth wants us all to remember that anyone who served before he became Secretary of War is a woke pussy.

I hate that Iranian women have to post stuff like this to convince westerners that they deserve not to be brutally murdered by the United States
one might think he's referring to elbridge colby here, but colby is not a theorist, he's just a lawyer.
@SECWAR “Our senior service colleges must cease producing theorists whose very first experience integrating the strategic, operational, and tactical realms occurs when they step into a theater of war.”

Colby: "I'm a realist. That means I'm just more realistic about things."
Like saying "I'm a populist. That means I'm more popular than you."
His books, testimony, speeches, articles... they're all shit and betray a real ignorance of international affairs.
Why do ppl praise him? He's just a lawyer, uneducated and untrained in international relations. He's not smart. He just sounds smart and looks WASPy.
NFL just ain't the same anymore. No big hits. Everyone plays 2-high safety so there's no big runs or passes. Middle linebackers maxing out at 230lbs. Wide receivers maxing out at 6'2". No taunting. 🥱
