    American infrastructure falling apart. They can't build one hitech rail in their scifi dystopia California while the Chinese are building them ALL OVER China. The quoted thread is a giant cope to deal with American decline and China's rise.

    No one outside of America has ever associated quality with America. Only Germany and Japan do.

    I’ve said this before: the progressive has no principled reason to oppose this, only the strategic consideration that it’s not the right time. And, as is apparent, that objection is getting weaker by the day.

    This common refrain is a form of gaslighting against religious people who've watched every slippery slope come into reality over the past 10 years

    Before joining the collective fainting spell over AG Barr’s address at Notre Dame, read ‘s superb summary and framing of that talk, as well as his keen observation on how the Left’s bilious reaction proves Barr’s points.

    Long but good thread (although I disagree that the world doesn't have a problem with Turkey)

    Must read for all people of all religions. I truly believe that this fight will define whether America is exceptional in its founding desire to be apart from European statism or whether the project fails and America becomes like the Europe its founders tried to escape

    In narrative-world, the 2020 primary is all about one issue: identity. No one does identity better than Elizabeth Warren. And no one does it worse than Joe Biden. It’s the new ET Election Index!

    After spending enough time reading laws in weak states you learn that law is often not the real problem. E.g. plenty of developing countries have special economic zones. One way to measure state capacity then, is to gauge the gap between the law de jure & de facto implementation.

    They were just holding Assad's rear while he mopped up the rest of the country, and when he was done, he would return to north-eastern Syria and quickly assimilate it back under his control. As we see now.

    The speed with which the PKK has collapsed, made deals with the Assad regime and is being re-integrated into the regime demonstrates that its decades-long ties with the regime were never cut, and their intentions were never really for an autonomous or independent Kurdish state.

    As for the PKK, this eventuality was foretold by pretty much all Syrian opp. and anyone who took Turkey seriously years ago. It was always understood that as soon as ISIS was defeated, USA would abandon PKK to whatever fate was in store for it. Everything we see atm is drama.

    In the short term, Turkey is the biggest loser out of all of this. Isolated and little alternative for allies. In the long term, it can pull itself out and create new alliances, as politics goes. America won't be able to waddle back into the Middle East again, I think.

    This isn't just a problem with the Trump admin. America's terminal collapse in the Middle East is all but endorsed by the range of influential foreign policy voices in America. America is willing to own itself and we have seen it live over the past week.
