Ross @rclatterbuck.bsky.social · 6hIn the late 90s I was already being ostricized in high school for being an outspoken atheist in small city TN. I should have doubled down by being an outspoken socialist too. But even that version of me would be shocked at my current anti-capitalist views 110

Ross @rclatterbuck.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That isn't to say there haven't been plenty of peer-power wars. Iraq-Iran comes to mind immediately. But strategic use of air power is difficult without air superiority if not supremacy and so isn't often successfully employed in peer-power conflicts 000
