    United States 2022 Midterms General Thread

    The thing is, though, that Ukraine is anti-Woke. The Western bloc needs more anti-Woke people.

    FWIW, there is logic in supporting both Ukraine and Taiwan: Specifically, it creates a larger pro-Western bloc in the world: https://pontifex.substack.com/p/contra-hanania-on-russiaukraine But of course you could aim to achieve the same effect by relocating as many Ukrainians and/or Taiwanese...

    I suppose that it made sense for the US to aim to bleed Vietnam dry after the drubbing that the Vietnamese gave the US in Vietnam. That said, though, the US was still playing with fire since there was a risk (albeit an ultimately unrealized one, thankfully) that Pol Pot and his clique could...

    And yet the Soviets and Chinese have still largely made up by the end of the 1980s or at least by 1991, no?

    I thought that the Afghan War was much more crucial for this than supporting Pol Pot was.

    What do you think about the Iraq Body Count? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Body_Count_project Apparently it only includes civilian deaths, and some of even those might not be reported, so it's an undercount, but it's still much lower than your figure here. Re: Iraq: I don't dispute that...

    We'll see, shall we? Though I wonder if Cheney would support Big Ron if he turns out to be the 2024 GOP presidential nominee instead of Teflon Don.

    She might run in the GOP primaries and then run as an independent in the general election after losing the GOP primaries. And she'll make it clear to her supporters that they should only vote for her if their second preference is Trump over Biden. If their second preference is Biden over Trump...

    5% of the total GOP vote. So, maybe like 2-3% of the total vote. Or at least 1% of the total vote which, again, is enough to make the difference in an extremely close election.

    Re: Iraq: First of all, what's your source for the million Iraqi casualties figure? Is it actually reliable? Secondly, at least Iraqis actually have a democracy right now, albeit a corrupt and dysfunctional one. It's better than extremely high risk of getting tortured, jailed, and/or murdered...

    Acting as a spoiler in 2024 by running as an independent or third party candidate actually does make sense for Cheney. I mean, she did get 30% of the primary vote in Wyoming. Even if only 20% of her primary supporters will vote for her for President, that's still 5% of the GOP vote, possibly...

    Yeah, FWIW, I myself personally think that having Democrats support 2020 election deniers in primaries up to the point of actively helping them with money, ads, et cetera is a serious mistake. Also, as a side note, I think that Dr. Oz will lose in Pennsylvania to John Fetterman. Fetterman...
