Quick thread: Some I lessons learned, not from the Ukraine invasion in particular, but in following domestic/international crises and conflicts over the last few years, and from life in general. Nearly all arise out of my own failures/missteps/botch-ups.
“Institutionalizing kitsch”. Bang on.
This is the official White House handle in Truth Social. Social science needs a better framework to describe the Trump phenomenon. The tools we have fall short. To say Trump is a "populist", or "leader of a cult" isn't enough. He's memefying American presidency and getting away…

“Chakrabongse” sound alike a Marathi शिवी. “ए चक्रबोंगश्या! देवने डोळे दिले अहेत ना?”
The Royal Thai Armed Forces have now activated their “Chakrabongse Bhuvanath Plan” which acts as a blueprint for the deployment of air, naval, and ground forces, as well as a structured plan for intelligence gathering, operational readiness, and a response mechanism that…

Pakistan should disband DGISPR. The Indian media is doing a better job than they ever could 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
“High-altitude, hypersonic aircraft with global reach”. This thing does everything people claim an “SR-72” can do. And then some 😎
The SR-72 not only exists, but has flown several successful missions. The USAF even publicly admits the existence of this high-altitude, hypersonic aircraft with global reach. One can find photos of it in the public domain.

What's a conspiracy theory you believe with your whole heart?

We need a Five Stages of Grief equivalent for manufacturing. Stage 1: We already have manufacturing! Have you seen our glorious PSUs? Stage 2: It’s just assembly, not manufacturing. Stage 3: Okay, there’s some manufacturing, but using foreign machine tools. Etc. etc.

It's right to ask for a post op briefing of OP sindoor from military or the gov, the dust has settled long ago that generals go to seminars & news interviews & pretty much whack people trying to run IW lol. All that "op isn't over" is just cope, trying to delay what is inevitable
Acche din have arrived America. Good time to remember that Modi, despite being in power for eleven years, has not managed to bring back Gold Spot.
This post is attracting a lot of flak, but seems at least partly true for the salaried/professional middle class? Housing prices are a huge factor. The way prices skyrocketed after 2004/05 took everyone by surprise. FWIW, I have no data to support any of this. Only anecdotes.
Just 30 years ago, you could build a house, have two kids, pay their education fees, save some money and retire. All of it with one person’s salary. What went wrong?
Most Canadians are convinced that this sort of thing doesn’t happen in Canada; and if that anyone sees/hears of any wrongdoing, they should call the police, who will promptly move to arrest any criminal or terrorists.
So you're telling me a Canadian MP twice wrote letters in support of a suspected terrorist moving to Canada, which CBSA recommended against? And that that MP is now the Minister of Public Safety, responsible for CBSA? globalnews.ca/news/11287613/…
