Al Carns has warned of a "shadow of war" at Europe's door, as hostile intelligence activity against the UK has jumped by more than 50% over the past year.
Talking to libs about this is so fucking depressing. They all claim to be horrified by the looming prospect of ww3 but are utterly incapable of envisioning any solution other than ratcheting up tensions on the arms race. Last time I talked to my father about this topic he told me he wants Canada to get nukes, I was just speechless. Where do these people envision this brinkmanship ending up?
Libs seem to think the only way to prevent world war 3 is to destroy or subjugate the rest of the world. So the only way to prevent the world war is to have it, I guess. Somehow that makes sense
Yeah that’s about it. When I told him I think we should defund the military he said that there are “people who would slit your throat the second they get the chance if you let them”. Just the most chauvinistic old school racist savage barbarians at the gates type nonsense. It was a good reminder why I stopped trying to talk to him about politics.
people who say shit like that creep me out, it feels like they would murder people if they think they could get away with it. makes me think of the God-humpers who will say “everyone would just [redacted] and murder without God” but reasonable people say “I’m doing as much of that stuff as I want right now: zero”
there’s also of course zero thought as to what kind of material conditions would make the putative throat-slitter so desperate or how those conditions came to be. nope, they’re just evil brown savages or whatever
The cold war promised multiple generations the end of the world. The end never came, the west won, and now in their final years have a yearn for what was promised
Yeah because their ideology was utterly false and just a facade for privatization. The lives of the working class in the west immediately started going down hill at the same time that old soviet union they hated so much did.
Also I guess they genuinely thought communism wouldn’t work? Cause they forgot about several other parts of the world when they “won” that cold war.
They are not horrified. They might be uncomfortable with it, but how can you be horrified if you think the most powerful army in the world is protecting you and keeping you safe and warm?

They tend to be the people who fantasize about
