@Authw8 Tywin is the kind of guy you want running logistics and training or put in charge of a subordinate theater where he just needs to pin down enemy forces. Robb is who you need for a field battle, or a hussar general.

tywin to me feels like a "type of guy" you run into if you read enough military history. he's not a genius, but he's competent and experienced. robb is also a type of guy. he's young and inexperienced, but naturally smart, charismatic, and willing to take bold risks. the two are foils to each other. but i also think you need to look at their respective social systems. tywin inherits the whole lannister apparatus, which includes an army but also various business concerns and political relations. robb's power in the north is more contingent and negotiated, but also simpler once activated. thematically, i think it's important that robb gets the better of tywin on the battlefield, but tywin wins anyway. a lesser general would have simply been rolled by robb's dynamism, but tywin played things safe, kept his army intact, and bought time for his other schemes to bear fruit. tywin's tragic flaw is that he doesn't treat his own immediate family as important stakeholders to be kept happy. this was a real blind spot for him, a place where he allowed his arrogance to leak out while restraining it elsewhere. his poor treatment of jaime, cersei, and tyrion causes most of his problems and eventually gets him killed.

My controversial Tywin Lannister opinion is that he is a good military mind and people hold his inability to pin down and destroy Robb Stark way too harshly against him He isn’t the show version utterly logical super genius but he is plenty bright. His issue are elsewhere

If the US copied Hungary's anti-fascist strategy, the Democrats would run Mitt Romney or Susan Collins and every single third party/organization including the Greens and the DSA would endorse them.

Rod he made it illegal to broadcast his opponents. Peter Magyar made his first tv appearance this week.

Oh, horseshit. Orban won four free elections in a row. He lost this one because the economy has been lousy for three years, & ppl wanted change. Fair play. It’s hard for globalists to understand, but it’s still democracy when ppl vote in ways you don’t like.

@BradDuplessis Apparently Ryan doesn't realize that every officer above the rank of O3 has to read Von Clausewitz and understands everything he's trying to insinuate that they don't

“Clausewitz would have recognized all of this immediately. The war has not failed because the bombs and missiles missed. The war failed because the men who ordered the bombing could not answer, before they ordered it or at any point thereafter, the one question that makes war something other than organized violence: What are we trying to get the enemy to do and how does this make them do it?”
Ryan Evans@EvansRyan202

War will forgive many sins, but not the confusion of aims and desired outcomes. As I write in @WarOnTheRocks, the war on Iran follows a long American tradition of striking with precision in the absence of strategy. warontherocks.com/tactical-succe…

@midlifeguy548 @BradDuplessis Please read chapter 1 again. "Aus dem Charakter, den Einrichtungen, dem Zustande, den Verhältnissen des Gegners wird jeder der beiden Teile nach Wahrscheinlichkeitsgesetzen auf das Handeln des anderen schließen und danach das seinige bestimmen."

@BradDuplessis The war hasn’t failed.. Clausewitz would know this. Trump said exactly what he wanted the enemy to do. The problem here is that the enemy is an ideologue and is acting irrationally. Anyone rational would have agreed and the rebuilt their country to benefit their people.

@LinkofSunshine Not even that, so many people are progressive because it’s what’s cool, not because they have any real convictions and so fall into woke-coded bigotry

NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by. This isn't inevitable — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

There's something missing from the Hasan Piker discourse. Hasan's fans and critics often overlook the most troubling fact about him. The core problem with Hasan Piker is that, on a fundamental level, he doesn't believe in liberal democracy. x.com/CNLiberalism/s…
New Liberals 🇺🇦🇹🇼🇬🇱🌐@CNLiberalism

Hasan Piker promotes authoritarian regimes and political violence. Democrats should be cautious about trying to ally with him. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/has…

@agraybee The difference between the Mary Sue and the archetypal hero is that the Mary Sue starts strong and well-liked and ends that way. The archetypal hero conflicts with other characters, has to prove themselves, learn lessons, and so on.

She's right that it's mostly used on female characters while male characters who are cheap power fantasies get away with it, but the origin of the name comes from an actual Star Trek fanfic starring a character named Mary Sue.
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse

Daisy Ridley says calling her character in Star Wars A Mary Sue is sexist: “The Mary Sue thing in itself is sexist because it’s the name of a woman. Everyone was saying that Luke had the exact same [capabilities]. I think Rey is incredible vulnerable, and nothing she’s doing is for the greater good. She’s just doing what she thinks is the right thing. And she doesn’t want to do some of it, but she feels compelled to do it. So for me, I was just confused.” Is this why modern Star Wars fails because they can't understand criticism?

trump is part of a long running conspiracy by classicists and military history guys to create a singular Great Man who so singularly embodies the decline of an empire that social historians will have no choice but to commit suicide

These people were caught red-handed funneling millions of dollars from Russia to conservative influencers. They are literal agents of a hostile foreign power, paid to spread propaganda that weakens America. And welcomed at the White House.
