The fact that 6-7 is STILL being used by kids has me worried. Are the Gen Alphas boomer brained when it comes to memes?

Back playing Star Citizen and we killed a capital ship with a much smaller vessel because NPCs are dumb and apparently I can fly decently.

β€œEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

From a historian's point of view, and frankly anyone who actually studies war, the point of a war isn't how good you blow things up or kill people, it's how you achieve your political goals in doing so. The WSJ seems to believe that blowing up ships, schools, and missile sites is the same as a plan.

So a @wsj.com editor posted a fluff piece on how good the military operation in Iran is. I give the slightest pushback on the narrative that you can separate operational and political success and he blocks me. Good to know the journal only hires soft skin wimps at their prestigious newspaper.

Frankly, choosing to highlight the operational success is cherry picking at best and political back scratching of the current administration at worst. Being technically skilled at running a military operation is not the bar at which the people should, or will, judge a war. Do your job better.

War is political, you can't separate the operations and the politics. This is apolitical military brain that frankly is the reason why US wars in he 2st century have been so bad. We should have learned this lesson 50 years ago in Vietnam...

Seeing a lot of folks talking about how this is affecting Crockett vs Talarico, but a reminder that Ken Paxton is literally in a fight for his political life against John Cornyn (also fighting for his political life), so as much as we might think this is about our primary, it very well may not be.

Having followed his career here around Austin, I fundamentally disagree with this analysis. If anything Crocket is the 'consultant-driven' candidate having only thrown her hat into the ring at the very last minute because of polling that said she had a chance at winning.
