When the USA breaks up, the West Coast will have to make its own way in a dangerous world. The hard truth about history is that big countries don’t last forever. Something about the way real human communities form and function fundamentally undermines empires of all stripes sooner or later. …

The first major ground operations of Ukraine’s Liberation Campaign are imminent, and the rascists are fighting the wrong war. Watching Putin’s inept officers make every textbook military mistake imaginable over the past fifteen months has been a weird treat. The average strategy gamer would have done better than Moscow’s Potemkin…
