It makes ideological sense from the perspective of the radical left. Turks are considered "indigenous" (just, you know, ignore that entire migration and invasion historically) and "brown" while Israelis are considered "colonists" and "white" (you know, just ignoring that the Jews have evidence...

You can make that argument for anyone who joined post Obama administration, certainly. The Obama administration heavily politicized the RoEs and military in ways no administration before had. For those who'd signed up before though? No administration before had attempted to micromanage the...

One thing Zack is complaining about is something I've seen come up numerous times regarding Afghanistan and the general war on terror beginning with the Obama administration: highly restrictive Rules of Engagement that actively inhibited mission objectives while making the area MORE dangerous...

I disagree with you that this would run into the issues you think it would. The simple fact is, the Colorado Supreme Court didn't have standing to make this judgement since the charge of insurrection is a Federal charge. The simple fact is Trump has neither been charged with or conviced of...

They didn't use waterways to move steel from the Pennsylvania refineries to Norfolk, well, maybe they used some, but the majority went along the railroads. There's massive amounts of railroads heading to Norfolk: This is freight rail by usage in 2010, note the two spurs heading to "Hampton...

This isn't a new problem though. The largest US Navy shipyard has long been Norfolk Virginia, well south and east of all the major US Steel Production around the Great Lakes. So dealing with getting stuff moved to where it's needed is pretty much a solved problem.

You're not wrong on the timeline, but you're wrong on the correlation. The correct correlation to look at for how accepting of interventionism the "country" is is tied to what letter the President has after their name: R or D. When the President has an R after their name, while you might...

The Hindenburg didn't even use hydrogen as fuel, it used regular aviation fuel to drive it's engines as far as I know. It used hydrogen as a lifting gas... and it wasn't even designed for it, it was actually designed to use Helium, the thing was, for SOME REASON the world's only supplier of...

Pride and refusal to play second fiddle to what they see as a lesser power. You have to remember, China still holds grudges concerning the Century of Humiliation, as they call it, those grudges are mainly against European colonial powers, but the US' hands aren't entirely clean there. Plus...

Did you miss my mention of "The People's History of the United States" and the 1619 Project? "The People's History of the United States" is explicitly interesting because it was partially popularized by the film "Good Will Hunting" and his been put into numerous middle and high school history...

I'm not talking about what's in movies, though I would say none of the movies you listed actually do what I am talking about, that is, explicitly express the positivity of the Pax Americana and uphold the underlying philosophical and ideological values that built it, rather, those are simply...

It's not just the ingratitude of the international community, it's also the ingratitude of the cultural elites. You rarely see Hollywood actors or major academics talking about how the US created the greatest era of peace and prosperity the world has ever known, how free market capitalist trade...

While I agree that much of the establishment people concerned with such things have been thrown out, when it comes to Economics, I cannot help but feel like... good riddance? I mean, seriously, can you name a time in recent history where the "mainstream establishment" economists have actually...

Sure. But those can be terrible too. For instance, in many places in the US a person cannot just go a buy milk freshly milked from a cow from a farmer (AKA "Raw Millk"). Why? Food safety regulations that require all milk to go through certain processes before being sold. Likewise you see...

For those of us not familiar with the situation there, perhaps you could expound and expand on this a bit?
