16. A stupid regime, stupidly operating on bad info, and not giving a shit who gets killed.

Sat Dec 27, 2025, 09:37 AM

Yesterday

All based on the ramblings of a demented old man who was dumber than a post even in his prime. What could possibly go wrong?

And what's the point of all this anyway? Little boys doing exactly what Das Furhrer tells them to and blowing shit up because it's "fun". That's all I can figure. A few pin prick strikes will accomplish nothing, even if it were an ISIS related group of bad guys.

The Sahara and Sahel regions of Africa are nearly as big as the US and Western Europe combined, with good guys, bad guys, but mostly just guys running around. And a hell of a lot of empty space. It's only moderately strategic at best given its remoteness and the sheer difficulty of getting anything of value in and out of it at scale. And it's impossible to assert one's will there for very long. Russia "plays" there only because they're locked out of nearly every other region on earth. After the Syrian debacle, it's really all they got with respect to influence. But then again, I'm thinking. Something magat trash never do.
