The US has been the top global producer and exporter of crude oil, LNG and other petroleum products for many years now. (This is not necessarily a good thing for the environment) Nonetheless, this is why experts in this area are so confused by the nakedly imperialistic justifications of this Admin.

The US way of war is predicated on four key assumptions: 1. Victory is achieved via enemy attrition 2. Tactical auccesses inherently accrue to strategic ones 3. Of the 3 basic building blocks of military power—people, things & ideas—the first 2 are more important than the third 4. Limitless cash 1/2

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

A reminder, as Trump is illegally attacking other countries & musing about occupying & taking territory from them, of how mind-blowingly unserious the Paper of Record’s coverage of this has been in the last twelve months:

Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

what orders "the US military" will or won't follow is situational dependent and never a blanket answer But JSOC (specifically DEVGRU, a certain TF at Bragg, and associated hangers-on) will *absolutely* follow orders to detain/otherwise do something to Dem pols, with the right made up predicate

Trump's threat to bomb Iran made something clear to me in a way I hadn't yet formulated: His conception of US military force, like his conception of the federal govt, is now entirely personalized. It is a power to be wielded not on behalf of US interests but on behalf of his personal whims.

Every Senate Democrat should be asked how they feel about their unanimous confirmation of Marco Rubio. They should also be calling for Trump's impeachment.

The Very Special Boys At Bragg were convinced this was strategic genius that was only days away from bringing the Houthis to their knees (it sounds like I am shitposting but I assure you I am not), so would make sense they'd rerun that playbook here

good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein
The media has spent the last few months trying to make sense out of nonsense, attempting to conjure motive, manifesto, and meaning out of the dumbest shit scrawled onto bullets. These were sad attempts to impose meaning on an increasingly incoherent world by a literati that has not yet accepted its irrelevance in a postliterate society. But the most humiliating display of literate obliviousness in the face of the total collapse of meaning, however, was Ezra Klein's bizarre eulogy to Charlie Kirk. The now-infamous column ("Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way") can best be understood as an expression of class solidarity. Klein, I would argue, sees both himself and Kirk as being Debate Guys, wordcels who engage in the marketplace of ideas and let speech sort itself out into political action.Kirk did not commit violence, not because he abhorred it, but because committing violence was someone else's job. Last year, he called for using whips against migrants, saying, "Of course you should be able to use whips against foreigners that are coming into your country. Why is that controversial?" In early June of this year, as the president deployed troops to Los Angeles, Kirk publicly advocated for invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to crush the immigration protests. And in August, he called for "federalizing" the district of Columbia, saying,
"Roll in the tanks, bring in the military."
With his close relationship to the commander in chief of the United States of America, Charlie Kirk was no mere talker, idea-peddler, or purveyor of discourse. He built an empire on legitimizing violence and harvesting the enthusiasm and glee around it. Even before his death became a pretext to enact violence on American cities, he had already substantively shaped history. Charlie Kirk was a part of the real world in a way that Ezra Klein will never be.

The idea that we need to deport 100 million people - almost one out of every three Americans! - was, a year ago, a deranged claim you’d hear from neo-Nazis to give themselves permission for limitless mass violence. Now it’s coming directly from this horrific agency’s horrific press office

There was a liberal court for a few years in the mid 20th century and the right wing response was to delegitimize for DECADES right up to the point they had a supermajority, at which point it became Wrong to do so. These people think you are stupid bsky.app/profile/chri...

Not really sure you can recover as a country with this out in the open corruption. Usually this stuff happens in countries that don't have functioning elections or a tradition of law and order. But the electorate is basically checked out on millionaires and billionaires committing robbing them.
