—“China is like the cats in Animal Farm. Dishonest, unreliable, and serving her own interests. She has little “skin in the game”, and likes it that way.”— Colin Higgins

Well my take is that the brain structure evolved for graceful improvement and graceful failure of decidability. Our problem is we cannot introspectively observe this process below the emotional threshold.

by Colin Higgins
Obviously, Trump is attempting to negotiate from a position of strength, and I think he has established it, despite the fact that I would have gone about it differently.
The real issue here is not Syria, but Iran. Putin wants a permanent foothold in that country, and a naval base in the Strait of Hormuz, which is going to be tough to achieve. By convincing Iran that they need “Russian Protection” against the US, he hopes to get that.
But it didn’t work. Last night missiles were launched at three sites in Syria, and Russia didn’t do a thing–in fact, they ran away by pulling their ships out of port, and their troops out of the field. Putin blinked, and Iran saw it.
The next step for the US would be to pull Iran away from Russian influence by normalizing relations and easing sanctions. That should be the #1 goal in the ME, but Israel is fighting it. The Zionists are playing their own game, and that involves deliberately destabilizing the region, arming rebels, and trying to overthrow Assad.

Um. Russia cannot fight a war except in very small corridors on russian borders. Russia will not start a nuclear war. She may however make advances, and she may fund revolutionaries.

I DUNNO FOLKS, PLAYING OUT LIKE A SCRIPT.
I mean, we said that all his victory did was buy us time.
Yes, charlottesville was failure of strategy of amateurish proportions.
But polarization continues, and we are going to get our war in the streets soon.
That trigger event is just … it’s pretty close.
Late spring early summer?

@anglofront I’m not a universalist. Experimental micro-states are strictly Anglophone business.

Our people suffer because their high trust is exploitable via rents, where that high trust is not exploitable by credit rents elsewhere.
To eliminate this parasitism, we have the choice to cease trustworthiness or to destroy rents.
As such I choose, and I am certain we will all choose, to destroy those rents.
By destroying rents we will force investments into innovation at risk rather than parasitism on the externalization of risk.
Correcting the rent system is actually quite easy.

You don’t understand.
Sovereignty is decidable.
The first cause of western civ is this decidability – a feature that no other has.
