Blood memory of being shipped to a sandy rock in the middle of the Pacific and told to grow their own rice to survive.
看到中国救援队能够吃上热食,不少日本人网友直接破防开始破口大骂:“救援队来这里野炊的吗?” 我想说,后勤保障能力绝对是衡量一支队伍战斗力最重要的指标之一。能在战场上吃上热食,日本人闻所未闻,他们对战场食物的印象还停留在罐头、单兵口粮的阶段,这大概能反应日本自卫队的后勤能力有多拉跨🤣

Indonesia is an underappreciated gem in history as well. The Dutch attempted reconquest, Vietnam War as a screen against communist takeover (Indo had the largest non-ruling cmnst party globally IIRC), then the failed coup by cmnsts and RW military strongman takeover, in 25 years.

If this is the reason (and I highly doubt it), it's immeasurably stupid. With good reason there's traditionally (and certainly still is) a divide between agents and assets. Islamists are best at monitoring Islamists, but that doesn't mean you hand over the agency to Islamists.
MI5 monitors internal threats, like terrorism and espionage. The 'best' applicant isn't the person with the Starred First in Maths from Cambridge, it's the person who's street-smart, understands semi-segregated communities, and going to be able to build networks in them.

All this is what Luttwak says on the understanding that 'more worldly' means more Zionist, but without the endgame. Agents need to be loyal and reliable, so draw from that the implications of these hiring choices (assuming they're not just retarded). Street-smarts are for assets.

Russia explores the deepest depths of Siberia to draft asiatic nomads to be exploded by a drone in the Donbas. America nurtures the most bizarre of beige bioslop over generations to send them into the Gulf and be exploded by Iranian missiles. Maybe they're not so different.

If we consider Britain's primary strength to be economic, it's been in decline since the mid to late 1800s, and a lot of people recognised that at the time.
The recent story of Britain: World King: 1814-1914 Superpower: 1914-1945 Decline: 1945-1982 On the up: 1982-2008 Stagnation: 2008-present

Brezhnev was an informant for German military intelligence (later West Germany) both during and after the war.
What's your most esoteric history theory?

Circumstantial, but Germany's best intel on the Eastern Front, later especially, maps a little too well to where he was stationed, and after the war they continue to be the first to receive insider political info. That combined with the famous quote to Thatcher, you know the one.

The Kingsflame festival is a celebration of over a thousand years of English history. We’ll be honouring our Celtic, Saxon, Norman and Medieval roots through storytelling, traditional crafts, the clash of steel, and enchanting performances that keep these traditions alive. And at the centre of it all stands the Kingsflame, an 8 metre tall pyre commemorating the 1100th anniversary of the founding of England, and the ancient fire that still burns in the English spirit. Follow us here to keep up to date with the Kingsflame festival, and head to the link in the reply to sign up to our email list.

The argument between Meds and Nords was fairly amicably settled long ago. Even Nordicists were content to credit virtues to the Meds without detracting from others. We're cursed to go around in circles forever asking questions that have already been answered.
