The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

The West no longer conducts military actions as they were intended: to kill people and destroy things. That is, after all, the entire point of war. Trying to titrate and massage and triangulate what is death and destruction ultimately leads to more death and destruction.

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.
-- William Tecumseh Sherman

But the West wants clean humane, safe wars! Just like our playgrounds are now wrapped in padding and our children are not allowed to play, we protect ourselves from the reality of the world and the consequences of our own actions. Blowing up empty warehouses and carefully warning people before attacks (to minimize death!) might impress the Washington Post and the New York Times and Cambridge and Brentwood and the Upper West Side, but the West's enemies laugh at our weakness and are emboldened by it.

Human nature has a long memory and keeps longer grudges. Eventually the butcher's bill needs to be paid. In the most recent CJN podcast, Michael Walsh and J.J. Sefton and I discussed the failure of the West to fight. Israel -- the tip of the Western spear wielded against Islam -- tried the soft post-WWII approach, and for their efforts got October 7th.

But...


The commander in the regional alliance and two additional sources familiar with Hezbollah's thinking said Israel had abandoned the unspoken "rules of the game" that previously characterised its strikes in Syria, and seemed "no longer cautious" about inflicting heavy casualties on Hezbollah there.

"They used to fire warning shots - they'd hit near the truck, our guys would get out of the truck, and then they'd hit the truck," the commander said, describing Israeli raids on arms transfers handled by Hezbollah before Oct. 7.

"Now that's over. Israel is now unleashing deadlier, more frequent air raids against Iranian arms transfers and air defence systems in Syria. They bomb everyone directly. They bomb to kill."


Imagine! An army targeting and killing its country's enemies!

Israel paid a horrible price for the lazy assumption that their enemies would moderate their behavior...eventually. But history teaches a different lesson. Decisive victory rarely leads to bad things for the victor, but a measured response allows the defeated to entertain thoughts of revenge and revolt.

Any rational observer of Islam will see its implacable philosophy, and its relentless march toward a world caliphate. Too many Western countries are falling to its advances; France and the UK, once the pillars of Western culture, are sad and diminished...waiting for the rapidly growing Muslim populations to overwhelm them, and all without firing a shot in defense of their countries and culture.

Would anyone be surprised by a look into the not-so-distant future that shows Westminster Abbey and Notre Dame with minarets built on their roofs, calling Muslims to prayer inside?

Israel has belatedly decided that their country and culture are worth defending, although to be fair, the people always felt that way...it seems however that its leaders embraced a more nuanced outlook that credited them with far more wisdom than has been shown to be the case.

When will the rest of the West follow suit?

16 The *point* of war is to inflict enough pain - specifically death and destruction - on your enemy to get them to agree to your terms.

Nominally Israel's terms seem to be to get the Jihadis to agree to accept Israel's existence and stop murdering Jews.

They will have to kill a large number of Jihadis, perhaps all of them, to accomplish this.

Otherwise in a few years the cycle will just restart.

TBH, I don't think the goal of peaceful existence is possible. Better to start looking at moving the population of Gaza somewhere else. Beyond the pale? The Muslims states kicked their Jewish populations out in '47. And after WWII Germans were removed from a number of places in Eastern Europe.

51 "Cabinet wars, derived from the German expression Kabinettskriege [ . . . ] is a historical term to describe the shift from the regular, limited, aristocratic conflicts of the eighteenth century to total war following the French Revolution. Historians define cabinet wars as a period of small conflicts not involving standing armies, but with a growing military class arising to advise monarchs. The term derived from the council these cabinets provided during the period of absolute monarchies from the 1648 Peace of Westphalia to the 1789 French Revolution. These cabinets were marked by diplomacy and a self-serving nobility"

IIRC the period of "cabinet wars" of the 1800's ended with the Russo-Japanese war, and certainly with wWi. I suspect the end came from the cabinets and their industrialist backers driving the conflicts for their own profits and preservation.

54 Kurt Schlichter posits in his new novel "Attack" that it takes a 10/7 attack here on U.S. soil, one lasting three days and killing many many more than died in Israel, to wake us up.

I just skimmed the free sample on my e-reader, and it's clear the wide open border makes this all possible and plausible.

Schlichter imagines an awakening that turns us into vicious revenge killers, militarily, and instant wall-builders, the full-length wall on the Mexican border a DMZ-like affair, patrolled like the one between north and south Korea, with soldiers prepared to kill any crossers without warning.

And assassinating the jihadi masterminds anywhere in the world in public, in front of their families, without fear of any retribution, because we retaliated with so much ferocity, all are afraid of us.

56 Make a product cheaper and more palatable, and what do you get? More demand. Which requires more supply of newly ‘more humane’ weapons.

Also, if you punish someone and they don’t respond ‘properly’, you didn’t punish them enough.

Recidivism is both because of incorrigibility (a small %) and insufficient (inevitable) negative reinforcement. You can’t just not do anything and expect things to change.

Bibilically, there was a difference between and individuals response to an individual outrage, and what God intended the state to do.

63 Is it too late to rehabilitate the Crusades in the minds of people in the West? After all, they were merely a temporarily successful counterattack on invaders and colonizers.

Yep.

The two origins of the crusades;

1) The Caliphate had converted the Turks and convinced them to invade into Anatolia then a Christian stronghold. Due to internal dissension the Byzantine were defeated and asked for help from the West to remove the Muslim colonizers

2) The Muslim conquers of Jerusalem had allowed Christian pilgrims but then stopped and instead started robbing and killing them. The Papacy asked Christian Europe to protect these pilgrims.

83 53 The dhimmi-tudeination of Europe is by deliberate design of The Powers That Be (WEF, Bilderberg Group, Club of Rome, UN, World Bank, etc). This is a plan long long set in motion and probably unstoppable at this point. The Population Replacement & Reduction policies are succeeding marvelously. Same thing going on in the U.S. obviously.

A lot of videos popping up on X where immigrants detail all the benefits they are getting from government, they get food and housing plus spending money, and they have no job. They say the locals are working for them and laughing about it. Great job, leftist women and soy-men, for voting for this. I hope it's not too late to vote yourselves out of it, assuming your eyes are opened to the rampant crime, beatings and rapes of the natives, and that the multiple useless parties that make up your political class even respond to your desire to reverse it.

Remarks by President Biden at a Political Event | Charleston, SC, yesterday (in part) -
AUDIENCE MEMBER: "If you really care about the lives lost here, then you should honor the lives lost and call for a ceasefire in Palestine!
AUDIENCE MEMBERS: Ceasefire now! Ceasefire now! Ceasefire now!
THE PRESIDENT: That’s all right. That’s all right.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Will you call for a ceasefire?
AUDIENCE MEMBERS: Ceasefire now! Ceasefire now! Ceasefire now!
(Cross-talk.)
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Look, folks, I understand their — I understand their passion. And I’ve been quietly working — I’ve been quietly working with the Israeli government to get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza. I’ve been using all that I can to do that. (Applause.)
But I understand the passion."

France and Britain decided the Germans and Austrians were responsible and sought to dismember Germany and Austria via 'Peace Treaty.' Had they simply accepted peace there would have been no WWII. Sibling rivalry is writ large throughout WWI. America jumping in once the Russians collapsed is probably the worst thing we could have done.

The West was conquered from within, by a heretical offshoot. I've said several times there are three or more cultures in the space the US occupies. One of them dominates media and government and, increasingly, business/finance. It's been coordinating a low-intensity conflict against its only real rival, but that effort is starting to founder.

Stop thinking of our adversaries as 'fellow Americans'. They aren't and don't want to be.

France and England were still dealing with the post war economic and social issues, and were kneecapped by the depression as well.

Iowa is the fakest of the caucuses. They stopped being predictive forever ago because whomever wins the caucus is a measure of how well you organize at a caucus, not actual voter appeal.

Ted Cruz won in 2016. Pete Buttigieg won in 2020.

If Haley can't organize well enough in a "must win" state that is very doable for well-funded and organized underdogs, then her support is so low that anyone giving her money is an idiot and Haley knows she's collecting money for a losing cause.

161 William Tecumseh Sherman might’ve been the best general on either side in the ACW. Cutting loose from his base of supplies to march to the sea was incredible. He did it again to March north to find the last major confederate army in the field which Joe Johnston surrendered to him IIRC. For weeks at a time, with their limited comm capabilities in those days, his army disappeared and ‘ol Abe wondered if it would ever appear again. I’m convinced that grand army of western veterans would’ve whooped any army in the world at that time. Uncle Billy didn’t mess around….

163 "But the West wants clean humane, safe wars!"

More correctly, the people do. They want quick, short sterile engagements that are played by Marquess of Queensbury rules pand end in a gentlemen's handshake. That's not war. War is ugly, brutal and often inhumane. The objective is to win at all costs so that you never have to fight it again. von Clausewitz was precisely correct when he stated it was the continuation of politics by other means. Those means are to kill and inflict enough brutality and violence on the other guy until he surrenders. We did that in Afghanistan and twice in Iraq. The problem is weenies like those in DoS and elsewhere in the bureaucracy lost those wars because they are frauds and cowards who didn't just misrepresent the risks, but engaged in forced social reengineering that ensured we lost long after the real battle was won.

Too many Western countries are falling to its advances; France and the UK, once the pillars of Western culture, are sad and diminished...waiting for the rapidly growing Muslim populations to overwhelm them, and all without firing a shot in defense of their countries and culture.

They surrendered. They surrendered the moment they all - the entire EU ruling class - coalesced behind a frumpy old German communist and threw open their borders.

Of those countries that surrendered, there is now an active conflict over whether they're going to *stay* surrendered. If I had to place a long-odds bet right now on which countries will even try to fight, I'd put small wagers on France, Spain and Denmark. At even longer odds, I'd gamble on Italy and the western Scandi countries.

The rest will not only not win, they will not fight at all. Germany is gone and will stay gone. Britain is gone and will stay gone. Those that are not yet gone will get gone once the Muslim hordes grow tired and bored of Germany and Britain.

Getting Democrats to try and get a Republican elected in a Republican primary? That's just unheard of!

Also, it's another little sliver into the mind of the consultant class. They're not interested in appealing to conservatives. They're interested in appealing to "moderates" and Democrats...even in a Republican primary.

It's why the GOPe has completely lost control of the presidential primary process. The GOP base is awake to the games, and the consultants won't even let their candidates play the game anymore. When was the last time a GOPe candidate for president said we needed to build a wall or limit immigration?

265 He wasn't terrified. He knew exactly what France would do.

From Wiki:
When German reconnaissance learned that thousands of French soldiers were congregating on the Franco-German border, General Blomberg begged Hitler to evacuate the German forces. Under Blomberg's influence, Hitler nearly ordered the German troops to withdraw, but was then persuaded by the resolutely calm Neurath to continue with Operation Winter Exercise.

A German officer assigned to the Bendlerstrasse during the crisis told H. R. Knickerbocker during the Spanish Civil War: "... we knew that if the French marched, we were done. We had no fortifications, and no army to match the French. If the French had even mobilised, we should have been compelled to retire." The general staff, the officer said, considered Hitler's action suicidal.[62] General Heinz Guderian, a German general interviewed by French officers after the Second World War, claimed: "If you French had intervened in the Rhineland in 1936 we should have been sunk and Hitler would have fallen.

302 The cause of human freedom has two main enemies at this time. One is a political ideology that cloaks itself as a religion, Islam. The other is a religion that cloaks itself as a political ideology, socialism/communism/fascism.

Both are toxic mixes of religious emotional belief and ideological unreasoned "reasoning" to underpin the beliefs.

On top we have a self appointed elite that believe their power can be kept in place by the use of these two poisonous systems to control and then eliminate all opposition to themselves. They will burn the world rather than lose power.

303 280-I realize that the boobette pictures are mostly intended as being about an attractive woman partially displaying her boobs, but I have to say the head on this model looks it was photoshopped on. Perhaps when the girls send in their photos or have a contract with the website they give permission to the good folks over there to alter their picture, because after all why would you care if your head was on the body of another woman?/s

This woman doesn't have what might be fabulous boobs showing, but she is an attractive, smiling woman:

313 COLUMBUS, Ohio (LifeSiteNews) — A Democrat who claims to be a woman and accordingly changed his name was disqualified from an Ohio House of Representatives race due to a law that requires candidates to disclose recent name changes.

Real estate photographer “Vanessa Joy,” a 42-year-old, gender-confused man, had gathered a sufficient number of signatures to run for office in Ohio’s House District 50 in deep-red Stark County. However, he was informed of his ineligibility to run for office due to his failure to make note of the fact that he changed his name on his birth certificate and other documents, The Hill reported.

“I would have had to have my dead name [sic] on my petitions,” the Democrat told News 5 Cleveland, employing the term often used by transgender-identifying individuals, “dead name,” to describe their true name given to them by their parents at birth.

n the trans community, our dead names are dead; there’s a reason it’s dead — that is a dead person who is gone and buried,” he said.

Nor in his campaign ad. It's astonishing that he's so inarticulate they can't even find enough instances of him speaking coherently to stitch together a quick ad.

346 According to Rep. Clay Higgins (R.

LOL. yes; I'm entirely bitter about a woman I don't know and whose picture I will never see again. and whose circumstances I don't know. At this point it's a little contest with Joe Mannxz who is a smart man and realizes that

The point is, as I has said several times, I think there's more to women than their boobs and their "vag" as whatever charming poster used the latter expression, and I think women posting pictures on the internet for clicks and money is kind of sad. And I've also noticed that some of the men here refer to them as Thots-which I never have, and I also know some men who wouldn't want their daughters or granddaughters sending in boobie pictures.

In addition, it's interesting that none of the men who see my posts on the early thread have referred to me as bitter nor has the estimable Joe Mannix..

I hope you are well, Garrett. Keep up the good fight.

349 This reminds me of that 60s ditty, "The Draft Dodger Rag", in particular its last stanza:

I hate Cho En Lai and I hope he dies
But one thing you gotta see
That somebody gotta go over there,
And that someone isn't me!
So I wish you well, Sarge, given 'em hell
And kill me a thousand or so
But if you ever get a war without blood and gore
Well, I'll be the first to go!

Some Boomers sang that during Vietnam, but it seems to be the anthem of the current generation.

That's definitely a possibility. It wouldn't surprise if it were true. But I'll reserve judgement until Rep. Higgins unveils his evidence.

These goals are met by a combination of logistics, tactics and strategy. Failure in any segment will result in unsuccessful culmination overall.

353 The reason we have a "rules based world order" is because if you can keep acrimony civil, it is less painful and easier to endure and extend the duration of the conflict as well as the purchase orders for ordinance, weapons and all other warfare equipment and supplies. War should try to avoid harming civilians. Beyond that, the use of conventional weaponry should not be restricted. War should be crippling to both parties, so the next time it presents itself as an option, they think it deep and hard.
