About a third of the way through, and before you ask, yes, Iran's military has pretty much always sucked hairy nuts.

In reality it turns out you can't just have suicide bomb-boats spawn right next to aircraft carriers like a RTS level editor.

In 2002, the US conducted Millennium Challenge, the largest war games in its history. They split soldiers into two teams: 🔵Blue, which was America, and 🔴Red, an unnamed generic Middle Eastern country. The 🔴Red team was led by retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper. The idea behind the games was to see how, not if, the 🔵Blue team would win. In other words, the 🔴Red team was supposed to lose, but General Van Riper didn’t want to lose. So he played to win. He used asymmetric tactics by doing things like using civilian boats instead of military ones, motorcycle couriers and coded messages in mosque towers because their cell phone networks had been hacked. He launched a massive preemptive strike using a swarm of small boats and cruise missiles, which overwhelmed the 🔵Blue Team’s Aegis defense system. In the simulation, this resulted in the “sinking” of 16 American warships, including an aircraft carrier. The exercise was supposed to take 14 days. Vin Riper and his team won after day one. Understandably, the US military was embarrassed because this was supposed to show off all its superior tactics and cutting edge technologies. So, they restarted the exercise and changed the rules to force everyone to follow a script so that the 🔴red team could not win. The exercise controllers brought the sunken ships back to life, and forced Van Riper to follow a scripted path that ensured a 🔵Blue Team victory. 🔴Red was ordered to turn off certain air defense systems and use regular cellular communications to allow 🔵Blue to destroy them. 🔴Red was also told exactly where to move certain units so 🔵Blue could pretend to find them and neutralise them according to a pre-planned timeline. Most crucially, Van Riper was forbidden from using the swarming tactics that had been so effective in the opening hours. The controllers argued that the reset was necessary because the goal of Millennium Challenge 2002 wasn’t just to see who would win, but to test new Network-Centric Warfare concepts. They felt that if the game ended on Day 2, they wouldn’t get to test the rest of their expensive toys. Van Riper, however, argued that testing those toys in a rigged environment provided a false sense of security. General Van Riper was so angry, he quit the exercise midway and wrote a 21-page recommendation on changes the military had to make to, get around his asymmetric tactics. They ignored the report and said the exercises were a huge success that proved the military doctrine was good. “It was no longer a free-play exercise... it was a scripted exercise. They had a desired outcome, and they were going to get it.” — Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper 24 years later, maybe Von Riper was onto something.

The Bible is literally a grimoire of exorcisms and protective magic.

@jujuman404 And Christianity is literally just about preaching, preaching is its core essence. Not Vampires or holy water, neither action nor adventuring. Lecturing and preaching.

@KaiserLoengramm made a good diagram of how broad it became x.com/KaiserLoengram…

This list I developed of who James Lindsay has called “Woke Right” wasn’t made as a joke, to show how absurd it was he called this many people Woke Right. This is a list of everyone who is to be blacklisted. Note that it contains both some of the most die hard pro-Trump and most Anti-Trump right wingers on it. That consideration is irrelevant. This is who James Lindsay, and all his compatriots like him, which include Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Max Abrahms, and everyone else of their kin, have been maneuvering to axe and execute out of the Right and out of having an effect on politics, Plan Truster and Panican alike. They have now successfully maneuvered into having Trumps ear, simply by not blowing all stock and capital with him by freaking out every time a minor thing they didn’t like was spoken, and instead constantly praising him and showing loyalty. That is as clear and obvious a mistake as it can possibly be. But, now we have many on the plan truster side of this, who have been marked for removal, marked as the enemy, who are now trying to support Mark Levin and others, because they’ve decided the only thing that matters is that you openly support Donald Trump or not this moment. That too, is as clear and obvious a mistake as you can possibly make. All of these people, were Never Trumpers. They are the core of that, who started, and who despite appearances, are still NeverTrump. Because when they said Never, they meant Never. These are the same people who fought him in 2016. Told him to give up and pushed back against Stop the Steal. Propped up Ron DeSantis to remove Trump. And now, they are trying to destroy his legacy, and maneuver around the best shot at continuing Trumps legacy, a JD Vance presidency. These are the same people constantly calling him Groyper, Woke Right, or otherwise smearing him as they do us. Their play is obvious. They are laying the groundwork for post mid-terms, betting on a loss, that they will blame all of us, whether we like Trump or not, that we built a poisonous, extreme and dangerous climate, that Trump appealed too much to us, and that they need to moderate, go left, and axe all of us. All of this in service to defeat Vance, who will by far be the most favorable to our camp, and at a minimum, not have an AG which targets us and tries to shut down our organizations, and will continue the deportation agenda. The guy who is objectively the best for us, in favor of a president Ted Cruz, who would be terrible. So, the best thing you can do right now to prevent this, particularly if you actually care about utilizing the system for our interests, is to go on the offensive against the Mark Levins of the world, hit them on their record of being Anti-Trump, accuse them of being serpents whispering in the ear of the president, and work to make sure the Republicans don’t lose in 2026, which they are really hoping happens in order to further their own narrative. Also, know that we either Survive Together, or Hang Separately.

Still a good heuristic. What does it say about people that are constantly trying to convince you that you are on the losing side?
