“In the coming years of US occupation of Canada, the US occupation would heavily recruit from Albertans as colonial police. The word “Albertan” quickly becomes a term of derision synonymous with “traitor.” Angry mobs of Canadians would lobby the insult at members of the Canadian Colonial Police Force regardless of whether they are actually from Alberta.”
And then when the US did capture Maduro, those same alt media sphere accounts said that Venezuela just surrendered in a deal, ignoring all the pictures of destroyed Buks (there were quite a lot), and videos of US helicopters shooting anything that moved, and the close to 100 casualties amongst Venezuelan and Cuban forces.
“Cranks like Escobar told me Venezuela would totally own the US, so the fact that the US was successful in capturing Maduro meant that he was betrayed from within because the guy who said Iran almost got nuked by Israel if it weren’t for Russia couldn’t possibly be wrong about things. I don’t care about Venezuela anymore. Fuck Venezuela.”
It creates a very obnoxious cycle where cranks hype these countries up well beyond what they’re actually capable of and when those countries inevitably fail to live up to the crank’s fantasy, people start dooming over the country falling part “like Syria” or “giving up” on that country. I’ve seen an article boasting about how the US is the third strongest military in the world. I wonder how many people will be disillusioned when the “third strongest military in the world” continues to rampage across the globe as if it were the strongest military in the world.

There’s also classical text like On War by Clausewitz.
Absolutely. All that “peaceful coexistence” bullshit is just to cover that their military is not strong enough. That blog article doesn’t even attempt to analyze the current PLA’s military capabilities, let along compare the PLA’s military capabilities to what the US has or what the SU had.
This is a persistent problem of leftist analysis. They pretty much do not analyze things from a military perspective, ceding the ground to “Anglo Jews invented globohomo and installed the Anglo Jew agent Lenin after overthrowing Saint Nicholas the last man standing against the globohomo menace” reactionaries and “that slightly large explosion was actually multiple tactical nukes going off at once in a successful attempt to prevent the enemy from setting off their own tactical nukes” cranks. The Russian SMO enjoyer crowd is full of these dipshits, but how is the left doing in comparison?
Radlib types are allergic to anything concerning hard power, preferring to squander Marxist analysis on literary critique of Marvel slop. Class reductionist types chant “no war but the class war” without having read a single text on how to effectively wage warfare. ML types only concern themselves with economic analysis, forgetting that there’s more to hard power than the economy. I see reading lists from ML orgs and few of them incorporate texts on revolutionary warfare. The only part of the left that is at least semi-serious about military matters are various anarchists, largely through the dissemination and study of COIN manuals. Too bad for various reasons, anarchists are suckered in by NATO narratives, but credit where credit is due, at least they realize that military matters is something worth studying.
In order to exercise control over those resources, they need to build an enormous amount of infrastructure that necessarily tramples Greenlandic autonomy. There is no existing legal mechanism for that without the consent of Greenlanders. Seizing the island through military or other means is how they do that.
Or to be more blunt, the enormous amount of infrastructure cannot be build without the genocide of Greenlanders happening first, the exact reason why you have to completely cut down trees and bulldoze a field of wild plants before laying down concrete. I suspect this is the real reason why the annexation has to happen (assuming it actually happens). The US can more or less do everything already except for the genocide of Greenlanders because I don’t think even a vassal as servile as Denmark will look the other way while Danish citizens are being exterminated. But if those Danish citizens either de jure or de facto cease to hold Danish citizenship, then the US gets what it wants (extractive infrastructure/penal colony being build without an Indigenous population to fight back) and Denmark gets what it wants (saving face by having an excuse to avoid directly confronting the US ethnically cleansing a people holding Danish passports).
The British did something similar to Chagos. The Indigenous Chagossians inhabited those islands, but the US wanted a naval base in the Indian Ocean, so what did the British do? They deported every single Chagossian from their native land, thereby ethnically cleansing those islands of their Indigenous population. All for the sake of building a naval base at Diego Garcia for the USians so that they can project power in the Indian Ocean.
It’s all posturing/kayfabe. Any country semi-serious about the possibility of waging war against the US would have long since procured weapons from US rivals (Russia, China, Iran).
Trump then “walked back” to the pre-determined 10%. The governments across the world sighed a breath of relief, and implicitly accepted the 10% tariff rate because “it could have been worse”.
The oldest trick in the book.
Iranian doesn’t see any other way out than the one offered by the West.
Virtually no people in the history of the world would rather have a government installed by other people than a government of themselves. The closest thing would be if people already colonized decided to hedge their bets on a rival colonizer who offered a better deal than their current colonizer.
That medal has been handled by a LOSER! I want a new one.

Just admitting that he gets a chubby out of committing warcrimes.
If I were the US or friends I’d very VERY much like to leak/push a betrayal narrative so no one gets any idea of what kind of crazy space toys I have. Or any other methods I’m using for that matter.
It’s the same deal with the Zionists gloating about how they have super leet haxxors that planned the pager terrorist attack: assume what they publicly boast to be misdirection of what actually happened. Using this a guiding principle, the Zionists mostly relied on traitors within Hezbollah’s ranks rather than a massive technological edge while the US mostly relied on a massive technological edge rather than traitors within Maduro’s administration.
