As a kid in the early nineteen-sixties, I came across a landscape-format book at my local library in Borehamwood, England, which was called Kriegspiel and written by none other than H G Wells, perhaps some fifty years before. All I can recall of it now was it had many photographs in black and white of Kriegspiel tables and games in progress.
I found it utterly fascinating and took the book out several times. Sadly, none of my fiends were interested or I might have become an avid Kriegspiel player.
McChuck: I have no problem with this. Women and men are different, and women have no place in politics, business or war. There, see how easy, natural, and true that was?
Pseudo-Chrysostom: The biggest and baddest Leopard 2′s didn’t help the turks much when they got btfoed by a bunch of isis with toyotas and recoiless rifles.
VXXC: OK, What does it do when it comes to a tank? In fact what does 500 of these Bike Infantry or Bike Cav do when they come to a tank? Even one tank? The insurgents if they could get tanks would be in tanks. That’s tactics. Now please explain the logistics? You know, petrol? As others pointed out, the noise. Loud. About that medevac…you lined that up, right?
Pseudo-Chrysostom: The omnipresence of gayto’s legacy ISR overwatch systems providing detailed information on all but all Russian force movements and asset locations was a major factor behind the Kievian colonial administration’s ability to stay in the war during the early months. Radar returns are relevant since it relates to the ability of orbiting synthetic aperture radar satellites to distinguish objects of interest from uninteresting background clutter, which provides instantaneous...
Pseudo-Chrysostom: “There’s nothing inherently dangerous about a dirt bike of any size. Anyone who says otherwise is a huge pussy.” I am sympathetic to this point of view. Then again, the facts of the matter don’t support it. More people get more injuries more frequently using motorcycles than any other ‘peaceful’ activity there is beyond extremely niche edgecases and it’s not even close. It is what it is.
Jim: There’s nothing inherently dangerous about a dirt bike of any size. Anyone who says otherwise is a huge pussy. “Stealth” in the sense of radar or satellite-image cross-section or the like doesn’t matter. I don’t know why the U.S. military communitariat so obsess about something that matters so little. The first thing that’s discarded when fighting gets hot is the pretense that your opponent doesn’t know where you are. Your opponent not knowing your position because you move more quickly or complexly...
Ullan: Fascism and communism are both types of authoritarian socialism. Calling fascism right wing is a lie, it’s still a collectivist slave ideology, just based on race rather than class. The west at its best thrived under a more corporatist world view where society was a team with everyone playing there role as citizens rather than slaves. Libertarianism is just selfish hedonism that atomizes society, making it ripe for conquest.
Pseudo-CHrysostom: The most obvious factor in a motorcycle’s danger is the fact that it has dynamic stability, but no inherent stability. Which raises the equally obvious solution in the form of trike or ATV configurations. The second most obvious factor is speed. Motorcycles can often be dangerous in a way bicycles are often not dangerous, because the former can go a lot faster than the later. More speed, more force, more chance for injury and death if you take a spill. A traveler can move himself...
Pseudo-Chrysostom: Well, rather than cult of the leader, it’s cult of their demonic idols, moloch, ishtar, gaia, adam kadmon…
McChuck: One motorcycle is stealthy. A line of 10 of them (the capacity of an average APC) is not. And on how many occasions is a single squad (10 men) sent somewhere on its own?
Michael van der Riet: But… fascism is exactly what the Dems want, a one-party state, microscopic control of every aspect of the economy, the cult of the leader, submerging of individualism and inverting of morals…
Ullan: It seems authoritarianism or violence is a very real possibility. Democracy only works if you are willing to compromise and lose graciously about half the time, with the belief the other side is only misguided, instead of evil. It is becoming impossible to deny that major elements of the left are cartoonishly, satanically evil. Their hatred of those who disagree with them is on open display, their contempt for due process, free speech and innocent life is undeniable and they seem to want to...
Gavin Longmuir: “its [Russia's] suspected role in the Nord Stream pipeline attacks” Come on! Everyone with a brain knows that it was Biden* who ordered the destruction of those gas pipelines to Germany — an act of war … against Germany as well as against Russia. Interestingly, Russia Today reports that China has cancelled plans to build floating nuclear power plants to provide electricity for islands off its coast, because of fears that unidentified culprits might sabotage them...
Allen: It would be amusing If Putin said: “The west did the attacks themselves.”
Pseudo-Chrysostom: Someone blowing up critical underseas infrastructure for poorly defined geopolitical ambitions? For some reason, that seems to ring a bell…
Bob Sykes: America’s legacy white population is declining in number, and it will soon be a minority, albeit the largest minority. The US will then be a majority black/brown country with the politics, culture, and economics of Africa and Latin America. The only positive element in Future USA is that blacks and Hispanics hate each other, and will not tolerate each other in their neighborhoods. Blacks once ran LA, but the Mexicans drove them out by gang warfare. There’s a picture of a drug...
VXXC: Ukraine can launch an amphibious operation…. :) LOL Mein Furher Steiner…Steiner 230; This is Hitler 45, Hell it’s worse. He had a great army for a while. This is Luxembourg-conquers-Fran ce level narrative.
VXXC: Mike-SMO, Learn to read a map: where is Ukraine? Where is Russia? Where is America? You getting paid for this?
Pseudo-Chrysostom: USG beat Russia to the punch by occupying Ukraine first. State Department delivers another one of its Greatest Hits with the 2014 operation — the groundwork of course always being insinuated into place long before, and after. When Putin started his Special Military Operation on that day in February, 2022, he didn’t invade Ukraine, he invaded America.
That was really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
