As far as the discussion on the Spanish Civil War here goes, I don't think enough attention is ever paid to the why behind it and the context immediately preceding the attempted military coup of July 1936. It wasn't like the left-wing Popular Front coalition won a fair election, and in return...

The media with a 26% public favorability rating as of this year, a point which it has sunk to in just about seven years or so of peacetime? If we're at the point of an open civil war that number must've sunk even lower, mind. Nobody is going to believe a word the press says, especially in the...

A random 21-year old enlisted airman (from Massachusetts no less! Not exactly a ruby-red state to put it mildly) has just managed to leak a bunch of sensitive Pentagon documents, and not even for any apparent purpose greater than impressing his online buddies.

Maybe, but y'know what, two can play at the nuclear game. If we're at the point where the government is actually in peril of being overthrown (implying mass mutinies/defections among the US military to generate a sufficiently conventionally threatening force and not merely a Years of Lead-style...

Yeah, honestly after the 2020 BLM riots, I've become really skeptical of the traditional narrative around Tulsa. Used to think it was a sign that striving for economic success ahead of sociopolitical equality was pointless for blacks since envious and small-minded white supremacists could just...

Starting to remind me of the Spanish Republic's efforts to create a loyal military that they could bet wouldn't want to overthrow them. That just resulted in the veterans and nearly all the units that could still actually fight jumping ship to the Nationalists once their severely troubled...

I think perceived legitimacy, or a lack thereof, will outweigh the hatred the American managerial elite has for its citizens and its self-preservation instincts & plans if affairs degenerate to a shooting war. I don't doubt they would quite like to remain on top, and to go to any length to...

I recall seeing a couple 4channers throwing around estimates of how a modern 2ACW would shake out a few years ago. Tl;dr of these posts' most important points IMO is that 1) the US power grid is apparently rather vulnerable, 2) the odds that the armed forces would remain united are pretty...
