"He (Edward Luttwak) he was combat-trained (Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry) and fought as a volunteer or a contractor in several countries on two continents." Pull the other one. EL was not in the Royal Green Jackets, and the Ox & Bucks ceased to exist while he was a schoolboy at Carmel College. It became 1 RGJ in 1958. He went to Israel in 1967 as a 'war volunteer' but he was never in the IDF and certainly didn't fight in the Six-Day War which was over before he got there.
One of my favorite dynamic with Europeans, but obviously Brits in particular is how when its anything good about the US of course the US was started by Brits/Europeans. When its anything bad that they want to distance themselves from it's "those dumb Americans and their Revolution and independence, theyre not European anyway." Lol
"Let us begin with this evident fact: Muscovy does not belong at all to Europe, but to Asia. It follows that judging Muscovy and the Muscovites by our European standards is a mistake to be avoided."-gonzague de reynold, 19501 In methodological terms, one should de-Europeanise any analysis of Muscovy policy.- thomas gomart, 20062 "
The big brain on the left needs to read his intro to a mirror and not crack up. You can;t relate arbitrary insights to a real-politic analyst like Dr. Luttwak. Make a bold point or stay silent. But I do wonder what the good doctor says today about the solidity of the Ukraine forces.
Moscow horde´s war record :- 1856 defeated by Britain and France 1905 defeated by Japan 1917 defeated by Germany 1920 defeated by Poland, Finland, Estonia and all Baltic states 1939 defeated by Finland 1969 defeated by China 1989 defeated by Afghanistan 1989 defeated in the Cold War. 1996 defeated by Chechnya 2022 defeated by Ukraine WW2 won USA/Britain , meanwhile Stalin's officers were shot or sent to the Gulags. Millions went to the Gulags, including Solzhenitsyn Moscow's only victories come from invading smaller countries :- a) Hungary 1956 b) Czechoslovakia 1968 c) Moldova 1992 d) Georgia 2008

by this logic britain never had an empire (they 'lost' all those properties) and the usa isnt a military power (vietnam/ korean/ afghanistan etc etc)!!
