Armchair Critic- I believe you would benefit from listening to the following...

George Hageman is a little bit "Paleo Democrat" but presents the material in a fairly objective manner. Probably because he reads speeches from submissions. A lot of the podcasts (over 100) were produced and read when he was in his teens- but you wouldn't know it. His two part essay on "Philosophy of war- Why we fight" is excellent.

He has many other essays including Propaganda, DARPA, others.

China’s 6th-Gen Fighter || F-36 vs. F-22 & F-35 || The Ultimate Battle for Air Supremacy

Russia and China have already won the arms race.
Going to war with them would be futile.

They already have missile and air defense tenchnology which the west can't match, as well as modern nuclear weapons, and now China has a 6th generation fighter.

Russia and China already have the best military technology, and there's no way the west can match their industrial capacity, in speed of manufacturing ships and missiles.

Embrace the multipolar world, or face nuclear war.
Like it or not, these are the facts.

The Wests military commanders think a war can be won.
These people who only care about getting more money from us to build a military defense which is already obsolete, need a serious reality check.

Armchair Critic said "Embrace the multipolar world, or face nuclear war"

A- I believe that this is what is known as a false binary fallacy- even if he is right in his assertion that China has the superior weaponry. But Armchair Critic is right in that it presents an unhappy compromise at least in the short term. How do the politician's get the public to accept austerity measures to fight, in a fragmented society that has been corrupted by Maoist Marxism and it's distribution channels, creating a parallel parasitic governing structure within western nations.

Sometimes you have to fight for what is right, even if the future looks bleak.

After WWII the west had better politicians, many had a military background, this probably was the reason for such a long period of relative world stability. Many people understood the relationship between "Other Rank's and Officer's", society was cohesive and trusted each other under common belief and culture, rather than fragmented and mistrusting and nihilistic.

It's taken one hundred years for Marxism to be ready to attack western society openly.

This parallel parasitic government includes a powerful academic aristocracy that trains societies management infrastructure, informs and directs policy, and leads propaganda in the media. I'm sure that the Woke Maoist Marxist Academic Aristocracy has other nefarious societal functions within the west.

To root out the enormously powerful parallel governing Academic Aristocracy will require a still greater power- there will presumably be a lot of civilian casualties and collateral damage.

This is the problem with creating organisations that are "too big to fail".

Hopefully the damage can be limited to people losing their jobs rather than losing their lives, but... dead men tell no tales.

Here is my 'false binary' we have a choice between 1. Maoist Marxism and one thousand years of world authoritarianism OR 2. fight it in a internecine war.

The Mongol people were plagued by internecine conflict until Genghis Khan unified them.

We need to warn our young about the dangers of communist authoritarianism to stop it's spread in our society... say "never again to Marxism"

Armchair Critic said "The Wests military commanders think a war can be won.
These people who only care about getting more money from us to build a military defense which is already obsolete, need a serious reality check."

A- Technology has changed the nature of warfare in many ways. There was a document that was attributed to the Maoist's titled "Total War" or similar that I read twenty years ago. We need to trust (and often I doubt it) that our institutions are serving our nation, rather than the Maoist's. Individuals and groups that have betrayed our trust and are working as Maoist agents within institutions, or even as institutions, need to be identified and managed. Some are more difficult to manage than others. Perhaps even grass root organisations have been compromised by Maoist elements. As they say- there are spies everywhere

In the famous treatise "The Art Of War" attributed to Sun Tzu it advises that a nation shouldn't avoid using spies and assassin's because they can save many lives by avoiding the deaths caused in battle. From memory the mathematics of war states that 10% of soldiers die in each battle. In a war of 100 Million that means 10 million men. A third world war will involve billions.

But as Trotsky implied, for those whose only value is authoritarian power, billions of dead mean little. Paradoxically, this is why we need to risk the billions. Authoritarian's hiding behind the innocent, nothing new.

In one of the movies on Caesar, Cleopatra says "Rome is masculine, Egypt is feminine, Sun and Moon".

It reminds me that in tribal villages the mother is the dictator of the children, and the children are completely dependent. There is some hierarchy amongst the women but position is somewhat pre-ordained based on age. Whereas the men hunting is more like a military organisation where there are individual and group hierarchical capabilities. Position of men within the hunting party is determined more on skills.

It reminds me of the differences between Western and Asian mindsets. Perhaps between Traditionalism and Capitalism and Marxism. Who is the masculine and who is the feminine?

As women age they apparently act more like men and their hormones change.

But note that China is happy to promote instability in the West while having a contradictory policy at home.
